Keep Your Business and Devices Safe and Secure from Cyber Threats

* DIMA Warrior - Internet Security Solutions
* Launched for public as free during this lockdown period

“Hackers target remote workers”, “Hospitals warned of cyber-attacks” … these are some of the headlines that grab our attention in the leading dailies. The world is paying the heavy price due to the corona outbreak and subsequent lockdown. But let’s not allow the hackers to penetrate our computer network. It is better to meet a problem in time than to seek remedy after the damage is done. We need to have a powerful security system for connected devices.

It is a must to ensure our work tools are set up with the proper security. Our computer, phone and tablets should be up-to-date and protected against security threats.  We are very keen in concentrating the DNS level security which plays a key role in the cyber kill chain – 91% of malware use DNS services to build attacks. A global 2019 DNS Security survey conducted by IDC revealed that 82% of respondents said they had been targeted by a DNS attack in the last 12 months. Traditional security systems are not enough to mitigate this type of threat, as they could be easily avoided.

Dima Business Solutions, startup IT company, has developed a powerful security solution that works seamlessly across devices, which is named “DIMA Warrior”. True to its name, Dima Warrior fights and puts up a strong defense against a host of threats that include Ransomware, Malware, Phishing, Crypto mining, Command and Control, Domain Generation Algorithm, DNS Spoofing and DNS Rebinding.

DNS Firewall is embedded in Dima virtual machines. The product provides a purpose-built and complementary solution to traditional enterprise network security systems, to safeguard DNS-based malware and advanced persistent threats (APT). Its enhanced DNS query filtering capabilities, combined with dynamic threat intelligence feeds, allow for the quick identification of suspicious device activity, protecting malware infection and spread within a network, as well as phishing campaigns and data exfiltration attempts.

DIMA Warrior has been built to update its threat database very frequently. It’s an easy-to-use, easy to set up solution which enables you to start using our security solution with immediate effect. It is customizable and scalable with its simple architecture. With a minimum response time for faster internet access, it uses a lightweight database structure that gets updated every 60 minutes.

Tinder Opens up its Paid Feature Passport for All Members; Travel Virtually Anywhere in the World to Meet New People

(Note on background: Tinder Passport is typically a paid feature for Tinder Plus & Gold subscribers. Members can search by city or drop a pin on the map and you can begin Liking, matching and chatting with Tinder members in a destination of their choice. They can navigate between their current location and new destinations. This is now available for free to all Tinder members.)

In this unprecedented time, people are feeling a potent mix of anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty. The mix of self-isolation and WFH means we’re missing out on the everyday exchanges that make us human. And even though we’re socially distancing, this hasn’t meant disconnecting for Tinder members. As parts of the world went into lockdown, members started Passporting into other parts of the world.

Tinder members around the world have stepped up for each other in amazing ways. Rates of Passport use were up over the last week of March before Passport was widely available for free. India saw a 25% increase in the rate of Passporting to other parts of the world, Germany recorded a 19% increase, France: 20% and Brazil: 15%.

There were 3+ billion swipes on Sunday, the 29th of March before Passport was widely made available. This is more than on any single day in the history of Tinder.

Globally more members are swiping right on someone new, having more conversations overall, and those conversations are lasting longer. Daily conversations have been up an average of 20% around the world, and the average length of the conversations is 25% longer.

“I’m happy we’ve been able to make our Passport feature, which allows you to connect with anyone, anywhere in the world, available for free to all members,” said Elie Seidman, Tinder CEO.  “We hope our members, many of whom are anxious and looking for more human connection, can use Passport to transport themselves out of self-quarantine to anywhere in the world. We’re inspired by how people are using Tinder to be there for each other, and we want to fan these flames of social solidarity.”
