C-80 Microphone

Key Features of the C-80

The C-80 takes cues from Sony’s legendary C-800G and best-selling C-100 microphones, borrowing the C-100’s capsule and incorporating the C-800G’s two-piece metallic anti-vibrational body construction. The microphone’s “Noise Elimination Construction” also eliminates acoustic vibration, leading to little background noise and crystal-clear recordings. The C-80 has a dual diaphragm design that reduces the proximity effect and provides more consistency while recording vocals from a distance.

Sonic Characteristics of the C-80

The C-80’s centred and powerful voice sound is a result of its tight and rich mid-range capture, which helps vocals stand out in a mix. By reducing boomy low frequencies and noise when the instrument is near to the microphone, the C-80 is able to produce a natural and clear recording of an instrument’s unique features like the sound of guitar strings and the resonance of the body.

Sony Headphone Price And Availability

Beginning on July 3, 2023, you may purchase the MDR-MV1 headphones and C-80 microphone at any of the Sony retail locations (Sony Centre and Sony Exclusive), the www.ShopatSC.com portal, any of the major electronic retailers in India, or any other e-commerce website.

Ransomware is a menace that isn’t going away – and threat actors are increasingly finding novel ways to make avoiding and recovering from ransomware even harder than it was.

Lately, that includes locking up backups during a ransomware attack. A Veeam 2023 Ransomware trends report finds that 93% of ransomware attacks specifically target backups, with three-quarters doing so successfully.

Backups are one of the cornerstones of cyber resiliency. Whether it’s hardware failure, a cyberattack from a nation-state or a ransomware actor – backups are always one of the key ways an organization can recover from an incident. But what does an organization do to recover from a ransomware attack if they don’t have access to backups?

In this article, we’ll outline how data discovery and classification tools, testing backups, and improving security around backups are critical to keeping ransomware attackers away from one of the key recovery tools in the cybersecurity arsenal.

Backups Are Critical to Recovery from Ransomware

Ransomware encrypts a victim’s files, blocking access to files, until a ransom is paid, usually in a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Common strategies used by attackers include phishing campaigns, and exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in systems to install ransomware. Increasingly, attackers also use a method known as “Ransomware as a Service” (RaaS), offering ransomware tools to other criminals in exchange for a share of the profits.

The vital role of backups in business continuity is indisputable: backups are safety nets that organizations fall back on when disaster strikes. Functioning backups are critical during a ransomware attack because it provides a route to restore encrypted data. Given that these attacks can encrypt a business’s entire operational data, backups become the last resort to restore operations and key data.

With functioning backups in place, organizations can say “no” to a ransomware demand, relying on the backups for recovery instead. After all, there’s no guarantee that paying a ransomware demand leads to a decryption key.

What’s more, decrypting large volumes of data can take a long time, so even if the ransom is paid a company can wait a substantial amount of time to regain data access. In contrast, assuming backups are made regularly and tested frequently, backups can be restored much faster than decrypting all the data encrypted by a threat actor.

Ransomware Targets Backups

Increasingly, however, ransomware attackers are now also working to encrypt backups before asking for a ransom – ensuring that backups are not a recovery option. We see this in Veeam’s data which shows that ransomware attackers are no longer merely focusing on real-time operational data; attention is increasingly gravitating to backup data too.

After all, if a firm’s best bet to sidestep the ransom following an attack is by recovering from its most recent reliable copies of data, then it stands to reason that an attacker would go and encrypt that data, too, to limit the organization’s options for recovery.

With no backups, paying the ransom may well end up being the only option for a victim. In other words, if a ransomware attacker can get access to encrypt their victim’s backup systems then they can most likely reduce recovery options to one: paying the ransom. 

Ensuring Backups Are Usable

Data discovery and classification is the first step in thwarting ransomware attacks because you can’t back up what you don’t know about. That includes understanding where your data resides and classifying data appropriately so that you know what data to back up at what frequency. 

Organizations also need to have real clarity about where backups are located, and how often they’re refreshed. It makes it easier to monitor and shield these assets from attacks.

It’s also critical to test backups. Without regular testing, there’s no certainty that the backed-up data is accurate and complete. Errors could be happening during the backup process, and it’s important to find this while testing – not when trying to restore the backups during a crisis.

Testing also helps verify that the recovery procedures work as intended – identifying any flaws or gaps in the process which can then be rectified. In case of a cybersecurity incident, a well-tested recovery procedure can help restore operations more quickly and efficiently.

Backup Security Is Paramount

But testing only gets you so far. Companies must implement rigorous monitoring systems and integrate anti-ransomware measures to fortify their backups. In big organizations, it requires a cross-functional synergy between backup and cybersecurity teams.

For example, it requires the creation of immutable copies of data, i.e., data that cannot be altered or deleted. That means that a ransomware attacker won’t be able to encrypt the backup data, because the data simply can’t be changed after the backup was completed.

Organizations should also consider employing air-gapping techniques, which involve isolating backup systems from the rest of the network, adding an extra layer of protection against attacks. An airgap can ensure that ransomware attackers can’t reach backups – no matter how far they’ve intruded into an organization’s technology estate.

According to the Veeam survey, an encouraging 82% of organizations utilize immutable clouds, and 64% use immutable disks, highlighting a strong trend towards fortifying backup security by focusing on limiting the ability to change backups once these have been made.

Watch out for Re-infection During Recovery

During recovery, an often overlooked but critical consideration is to ensure that the data being restored is clean and not infected with any lingering ransomware.

In the Veeam survey it was found that 56% of companies risked re-infecting their systems by not following this crucial step: re-scanning data from backup repositories in an isolated staging environment before reintroducing it to the production environment.

Either way, seeing backups as something that’ll always be there to save an organization from a ransomware attack is no longer a safe outlook. Ransomware attackers now consistently target backups, and companies must take a proactive approach to secure backups, over and above investing in reliable backup solutions.

Rigorous protocols to ensure their backups remain resilient against the evolving ransomware landscape and regular testing and the use of techniques like data immutability and air-gapping are key factors in ensuring comprehensive protection against the menace of ransomware attacks.

At MWC Shanghai 2023, Huawei is well represented with events and exhibits centred on its “GUIDE to the Intelligent World” theme. This year, the company is launching its latest innovative products and solutions for 5GigaGreen, 5G intelligent core networks, Intelligent OptiX Networks, private line + X products, and other intelligent digital transformation solutions, and holding an experiential tour that takes audiences to multiple cities to learn about their technology and business.

Huawei will also host a number of roundtables and dialogues with global operators, industry partners, and thought leaders at these events to discuss topics such as accelerating 5G prosperity, advancing intelligent digital transformation, and stepping into the 5.5G era to realise business, industrial, and social value. Company officials have said that reviving the digital economy and providing new value to consumers are top priorities.

Rotating Chairwoman and Chief Financial Officer of Huawei Sabrina Meng spoke on the topic of “Embracing 5G transformation” in her keynote address. As she put it, “the digital infrastructure of the future intelligent world will be profoundly intertwined into every area of our lives, industry, and society. It won’t be founded on breakthroughs in isolated technologies, but rather on the convergence of various factors across enormous, intricate systems. It will call for a holistic approach to the problem.

You can get the big picture by watching a chess match. But when you’re paying chess, you have to pay attention to the little things. Equally important for 5G’s long-term viability are systematic capacities to integrate technology and restructure management. Let’s start with the topic of combining technologies.  By systematically designing and innovating across domains, we may create more synergy across the cloud, networks, edge, and devices. By optimising across software, hardware, chips, and algorithms, we can overcome the difficulties of creating complicated solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. 

The next step is a change in management. The shift towards a more digital and intelligent future is about more than simply new technologies. It’s more about changing the way you handle things.  In order to meet the challenges of the future, organisations must embrace a more open and forward-looking management style in order to become digital.

Over 1.2 billion people are now using 5G, and the first operators to adopt the technology are reaping the rewards. This is because new applications in several sectors have higher network needs.  The RedCap ecosystem has matured, the passive IoT market is expanding, and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) requires higher uplink speeds, all of which are driving the need for higher data rates and lower latency in the consumer market for services like New Calling, cloud phones, and glasses-free 3D. It is predicted that 100 billion connections would come from these comprehensive applications. It is anticipated that the introduction of these novel service models would spur an upgrade throughout the sector, resulting in further gains.

Since the launch of the first commercial 5G services four years ago, more than 17,000 private network deployments throughout the globe have adopted the technology. The number of commercial connections to 5G networks has increased thrice, as has the income from these networks. The CNY10 billion in income received by several operators from 5GtoB private networks has been used to fuel a CNY100 billion growth in DICT revenue from cloud, data storage, and platform services.

Even while many 5GtoB services began as China-only trials, they have subsequently gone global and been commercially reproduced throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Manufacturing, ports, mining, oil fields, and healthcare are just some of the sectors that may benefit from the intelligent digital transformation made possible by these services.

For the telecommunications sector, the arrival of 5.5G is also imminent. It is predicted that 5.5G technologies would increase commercial prospects for operators by a factor of 100 and increase the capabilities of networks by a factor of 10. Huawei is demonstrating four key aspects of 5.5G at this year’s MWC Shanghai: 10 Gbit/s downlink, 1 Gbit/s uplink, 100 billion connections, and native artificial intelligence.

It is also investigating the five types of connection (human, object, car, business, and residential) that are anticipated to become standard with 5.5G. Huawei is now assisting many global operators with 5.5G commercial verification. With substantial verification of relevant technologies now complete and the first version of 5.5G standards set to be frozen in the first half of 2024, the 5.5G sector is poised for rapid expansion.

Under the MSME Day unique property, ‘Tum Kamaal Ho,’ myBillBook, the industry-leading GST billing and accounting software from FloBiz in India, has released a brand video. The company published a rousing song honouring the perseverance and innovation of small businesses a year ago. This year, they’ve followed up with a touching video explaining how, despite the fact that, unlike larger corporations, their efforts aren’t visible to the masses and don’t capture the news headlines, they nonetheless play a significant role in driving the nation’s economic growth.

Using familiar terms like “Bhaiya,” “Didi,” “Uncle,” and “Aunty,” the 90-second movie humanises the business owners of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), while images highlight their grit and resolve in the face of typical business obstacles. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are responsible for 30% of India’s GDP and employ 110 million people. They are well-known for their ability to switch gears and adapt quickly, since they often serve as the company’s salesman, delivery person, cleaner, manager, accountant, and any other position that may arise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may not have the same advantages as larger companies in terms of access to capital, marketing resources, and accessible workers, but they may make up for these disadvantages by focusing on the development of strong bonds with their clientele. The ad has been posted on YouTube and will be promoted through different online and social media platforms.

FloBiz Co-Founder and CEO Rahul Raj stated, “We are happy to introduce the successor to our MSME anthem, Tum Kamaal Ho, in the shape of this video. We are pleased to provide our support to Aatmanirbhar Bharat because we agree that India’s economy relies heavily on its many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). MSME Day is a special day for myBillBook since we have always been on the cutting edge of providing value to MSMEs via our technology and content. To encourage more people to value and support MSMEs in their communities, we created the content property ‘Tum Kamaal Ho’ in an effort to recognise and recognise the work of those involved.

“The newest iteration of Tum Kamaal Ho thoughtfully portrays the varied roles of small business owners and helpers who tirelessly contribute to India’s economic growth in their own special ways,” stated Pulkit Saboo, Director – Brand & Growth Marketing, FloBiz. An emotional connection is made with people who dream of starting their own company or who have already surmounted obstacles to determine their future, and this song serves as the MSME anthem, demonstrating our dedication to becoming real advocates for MSMEs. This will help us develop our long-term marketing and communication strategies and better connect with our target audience. We’re crossing our fingers that the long-term property “Tum Kamaal Ho” will serve as a constant source of motivation, helping people remember their own greatness and tenacity.

Hexagon Machine Training System Uses Digital Twins To Help Makers Fill Gaps In Shop-floor SkillsManufacturing Intelligence business has released a new piece of technology that uses the power of its digital twins to aid firms in educating machinists and metrology experts on expensive pieces of machinery. It allows students to obtain hands-on experience without endangering costly, mission-critical machinery, squandering materials, or tying up precious production resources by integrating hardware that faithfully simulates machines with manufacturing simulation and operator’s software tools.

Hexagon created HxGN Machine Trainer to address the critical need for the industry to address a skills and manpower deficit by attracting and training the next generation of machine workers. There are already 800,000 job opportunities in the United States, with 55 percent of those positions unfilled 1; in Europe, over three out of ten manufacturing enterprises experienced output limitations in the second quarter of 2022 owing to a shortage of personnel 2. Training workers to utilise CNC machines and comparable technologies is costly, time-consuming, and risky, further exacerbating the skills deficit. Manufacturers may onboard and upskill personnel more quickly and cheaply than ever before by teaching machine operators using an authentic and engaging physical simulator.

The new hardware simulator from Hexagon helps to bridge the manufacturing skills gap by better acclimating inexperienced workers to the realities of the plant. It’s adaptable since a digital twin may be made for any brand, model, and setup of equipment.  After being trained on the HxGN Machine Trainer, employees will have no trouble transitioning to real machines, as the simulator is built to look and feel like the real thing, down to the hardware. The simulator’s 43-inch screen also displays accurate simulations of a wide range of machines and cutting tools.  Trainees may react to problems and manage machine motions just as they would on the shop floor thanks to a light tower, a real CNC hand wheel, and a CMM joystick. The versatile digital twins for CMMs are available as part of the agile training system as well.

Up to three CNC controllers, such as those from Fanuc, Heidenhain, or Siemens, may be installed on a single training console. In order to model 3-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn machine tools, as well as comprehensive metrology processes, the machine trainer makes use of the newest version of Hexagon’s NCSIMUL CNC simulation software.

According to Alexander Freund, director of product management at Hexagon, “crashing a virtual machine tool or CMM is safer for staff and equipment and provides a realistic experience to trainees while ensuring that valuable resources remain up and running.” “Crashing a machine tool because of incorrect setup is a nightmare for both the new machinist and management concerned that a piece of machinery worth millions could be permanently damaged,” Freund continued.

Any of the three controllers may be used as a learning tool for the corresponding conversational programming language by trainees aspiring to work with machine tools, become machinists, or become CNC programmers. Manufacturing processes and job criteria are modelled with accompanying student activities. The CNC software to be placed into the trainer unit and the virtual cutting tools to be allocated to tasks are both detailed here. Students learn to troubleshoot, toggle between manual and automated run modes, adjust the origin and tool settings on a machine tool, and calculate cutting tool compensation.

HxGN Machine Trainer is now accessible worldwide, and it may be used to teach on CNC machine tools with up to three axes, mills, lathes, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Digital replicas of popular machine brands including Hermle, DMG, and Fanuc are included. The Hexagon TIGO SF is one of the supported CMMs, and additional CMMs may be simulated using the I++ Simulator in conjunction with QUINDOS or PC DMIS metrology software. A digital replica of any machine may be made at the request of the customer.

Acadzo, a state-of-the-art educational learning platform, has announced its expansion into the Indian market with the goal of helping students overcome their fear of mathematics. Acadzo was co-founded by two experts in the field of mental math training: Vimesh Dedhia and Jinal Dedhia. The company’s offerings are targeted at children between the ages of 5 and 14, and they include programmes that teach kids how to solve the cube quickly. Level 1 (Root) is the beginning of each course and Level 6 (Mastery Plus) is the culmination. Acadzo, a new company in the mind sports industry backed by Aarti Eduserve LLP, features games, tasks, and real-world examples for users to engage with.

Acadzo is a gamified edutech platform that has received certification from both the International Organisation for Standardisation and the Society for Science and the Teaching of Mathematics. More than 145 new world records have been set in mental math calculations and cube learning thanks to the platform’s cutting-edge training solution, which has been used by Jinansh Dedhia, age 12, and Shanay Dedhia, age 9. Acadzo has developed a full curriculum based on the strategies used by these pupils to help produce more mental calculators like the present record-holders.

Acadzo connects students and parents with experienced teachers who prioritise the sharing of high-quality learning techniques, with a particular emphasis on developing students’ ability to do mental arithmetic calculations and engage in systematic thinking. The online learning community provides many courses that focus on quick calculations and cube learning to help students gain self-assurance and develop their critical thinking skills.

“As educators in the field of mental math calculations, we have trained record-holding students,” said Vimesh Dedhia, Co-founder of Acadzo. “This has had a significant impact on how we design our courses.” We are staunch believers that mathematics is best studied as a thrilling mental sport rather than a dry academic discipline. Using what we’ve learned, we’ve come up with a mind sports method to teaching maths that gets pupils excited and comfortable with the subject. Acadzo has created new opportunities for kids to succeed in arithmetic by helping them develop important mental math abilities. Acadzo provides students with improved auditory, visual, writing, and typing abilities via their specialised courses, encouraging them to take on difficulties and succeed in their academic endeavours in light of the increasing relevance of mental calculations in daily life.

Mathematical operations, square roots, and calendar dates are only some of the many subjects and programmes addressed. It also provides cube learning, where kids may learn to solve everything from 2- to 5-layer cubes, Pyraminx cubes, Mirror cubes, Axis cubes, Megaminx cubes, Master-morphix cubes, and more. The Acadzo Pal, “ZO,” has been introduced as the first-ever mathematics mascot on the Edutech platform, where he will engage with and motivate students as they go through the site’s training programme and other interactive activities. The firm hopes to change people’s view of mathematics from difficult to fascinating via this.

Jinal Dedhia, co-founder of Acadzo said “Our enthusiasm compels us to design a learning environment in which exploring mathematical concepts is an exciting adventure. Our mission at Acadzo is to use mental competition to open doors of possibility for pupils. We’re passionate about our work because we’ve seen firsthand how teaching mathematics can inspire children to take risks, develop their critical thinking skills, and reach new heights in their education.”

Acadzo’s innovative user-friendly software makes solving difficult maths problems fun and accessible by including games and challenges into the curriculum. In addition, the ‘Mind Sports Federation’ has been set up to promote and reward prodigious abilities in mental sports such as speed cubing and fast arithmetic. Students trained by Vimesh and Jinal Dedhia have competed in and won gold in international competitions held throughout the world, including in India, Australia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. In addition to breaking several world records, these kids have been included in the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records.
