WINNERS OF “Sustainable Shipping for a Sustainable Planet!” ART CONTEST ANNOUNCED

North American Marine Environment Protection Association

Two grand prize winners and 10 finalists have been selected from all entries in the 2020 “Sustainable Shipping for a Sustainable Planet” calendar art contest sponsored by the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), and the Inter-American Committee on Ports of the Organization of American States (CIP-OAS). Each year, these organizations invite students in grades K-12 throughout the Americas to create a poster on a theme identified by the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) World Maritime Day and related to the marine environment. A 2021 bilingual calendar showcasing the winning entries will be printed in English and Spanish. Students were challenged to come up with a creative image(s) depicting sustainable actions the shipping industry is undertaking for the sustainable future of our planet. Maritime shipping has existed for thousands of years- ever since the earliest humans took to the water to find food, building supplies, and adventure. Throughout its history, shipping has evolved into the most environmentally friendly and safest way to transport goods and energy around the world . Today, the maritime shipping industry transports about 90% of the items and energy people use every day. Now, more than ever, there is the need for creative ideas on how shipping can and is making the future better for people and the marine environment. The maritime industry is working intently to reduce its environmental impact on many fronts. The winning artwork will be featured on NAMEPA, Coast Guard, and CIP-OAS websites. Finalists will receive a certificate and a calendar with the artwork from all 12 winners. Two grand-prize winning artists (one from each of the grade brackets) will receive, in addition to the certificate and calendar, a $100 cash prize and a USCG prize package.

Comodo and Rain Networks Announce Strategic Partnership

Comodo

Comodo and Rain Networks today announced their strategic partnership. Rain Networks, a network security focused distributor, has partnered with Comodo to expand its security services offering for customers. Rain Networks chose Comodo’s Dragon platform with Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP), which is a complete cloud-native framework that delivers a zero-trust architecture to protect & defend endpoints. Its patent-pending auto containment technology is the world’s only active breach protection that renders ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks useless. “We’re always looking for new technology to help our MSP partners protect their clients against today’s emerging threats, for example, new strains of ransomware. Comodo’s auto-containment feature is an incredible new technique that other vendors aren’t offering”, said Nathan Ware, CEO/CTO, Rain Networks. Rain Networks chose Comodo’s next-gen SOC-as-a-platform (SOCaaP), which includes people, process and technology and offers full white label capability for any MSSP or enterprise. The platform saves partners time and money, without zero capital outlay. “SOCaaP gives MSPs a path for growth to elevate their service offering and increase profitability”, continued Nathan. Rain Networks also utilizes Comodo Dragon’s Remote Management and Monitoring (RMM), which has a single pane of glass with centralized visibility, reporting and control. Nathan continued, “The RMM platform was the missing component to our product offering and we wanted to offer our MSP partners an award winning RMM solution with multiple layers of protection. Comodo’s Dragon RMM allows our MSPs to better manage endpoints in their client base in a more streamlined method and saves them money over other more expensive RMM platforms with equal or lesser capabilities.” “Rain Networks’ MSP partner base is now able to offer a true managed service solution. Streamlining the agent deployment and management has enabled their partners to focus on growing their business; they can devote more time to other tasks, like acquiring new clients or strengthening the relationships with current clients”, said Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Comodo.
