01 Jun 17. PhishMe® Offers Full-Service Phishing Response Service in EMEA with London Phishing Defence Centre Launch. PhishMe Inc., the leading provider of human phishing defence solutions, today announced the opening of their London Phishing Defence Centre (PDC). This new regional centre will provide clients with dedicated professional services to automate and orchestrate phishing incident response programmes utilising PhishMe Triage™ and PhishMe Intelligence™.
The London location is the latest of such regional PDCs, co-located in the company’s European headquarters. The facility has more than 40 employees, including a growing dedicated team of malware analysts continually tracking existing and emerging regional threats. The PhishMe PDC team performs in-depth analysis of suspicious emails reported by customers’ employees to rapidly identify emails with malicious intent and operationalize incident response processes when necessary. The model has proven successful in the US to help identify phishing attacks that bypassed perimeter controls and reduce attacker dwell times on customer networks.
“Phishing remains the number one attack vector used by malicious actors across the world,” notes Rohyt Belani, co-founder and CEO of PhishMe. “We’ve launched our PDC in London to help our growing base of British and European customers combat this burgeoning threat by providing rapid response capabilities that are tailored for the region.”
The PhishMe London office expanded in early 2017 and the launch of the London PDC is another step to provide local PhishMe customers access to the company’s full suite of services. PhishMe has recently opened new offices in Australia, Singapore, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.

01 Jun 17. Esri, the global leader in spatial analytics, today announced that its technology will be used for the first time with US Navy unmanned vehicle systems to improve how information is gathered before ocean and near-shore operations. Sensor data from maritime remote vehicles is uploaded into a command center where this information can be understood faster and more holistically than ever before. Esri technology knits Navy data together with structured analysis to enable better decision-making. This week, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC) hosts an “Unmanned System Operational Demonstration” off the coast of Gulfport, Mississippi. RDML Timothy Gallaudet, USN, the Commander of NMOC, established a goal of the unmanned systems demonstration “to demonstrate Naval oceanography’s environmental support capability for Fleet and Joint unmanned systems (UxS) operations.”
Using Esri’s enterprise software, NMOC can now analyze collected data from the ocean such as water temperature, humidity, wind speed, and topography, all in near real-time. Navy commanders can make faster tactical decisions, better incorporating environmental conditions into operational plans. For instance, before deploying Marines onto a beach in a high-risk area, drones or other unmanned vehicles can perform reconnaissance on environmental conditions and even the presence of hazards such as land mines.
Esri’s mapping and analytics allow data captured from unmanned vehicles to be incorporated into the US Navy’s enterprise to provide enhanced operational intelligence. Before this innovation, marine measurements had to be done by skilled personnel who were covertly inserted into the field. This could be dangerous and costly. Additionally, the time spent to manually integrate data collected into charts took days to complete.
“The use of Esri’s platform represents a huge improvement in the operational impact of data collected by unmanned marine systems,” said Dawn Wright, Esri Chief Scientist. “We look forward to delivering critical situational awareness for t
