FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brookline, MA USA, 27  February 2010.
Probayes Technologies (Grenoble, France) has joined with IDmachines LLC (Brookline, MA, USA) to bring its security and productivity solutions based on Bayesian modeling, inference and learning to the United States marketplace. Probayes Keystroke Dynamics, Fraud Detection and Operational Risk Management products provide strong authentication and security in depth in addition to powerful predictive analytics. These end-user applications are supported and complemented by a Software Development Kit (SDK) and Bayesian modeling toolkit to speed use of knowledge development for security and a wide range of applications across disciplines.

Today’s security solutions need to address a dynamic and wide ranging array of threats. Even better it would predict them. Probayes and IDmachines find that products such as keystroke dynamics and fraud/incident detection are a natural complement to other strong authentication techniques. The two companies bring decades of experience with security and machine learning to its end-user, integrator and original equipment manufacturer partners. The end-user products are targeted at large scale infrastructure and enterprises. IDmachines brings a particular expertise with organizations that look to leverage the Personal Identity Verification Interoperability (PIV-I) such as Federal, State and local government as well as financial services and other critical infrastructure sectors.
Probayes products are currently used by leading European Union financial institutions and Global 100 organizations. Emmanuel Mazer, CEO of Probayes, stated “Knowing Sal D’Agostino for a long time, I am very proud to work with his company. By partnering with IDmachines, I am sure our US customers will benefit from their high level of commitment and recognized security expertise. This will ensure the successful deployment of our products, and a quick return on customer investment.”
“IDmachines is very excited at the opportunity to work with Emmanuel Mazer and his team at Probayes. Having worked with Emmanuel over the last 3 decades one can only be amazed at the timeliness and elegance of the important innovations he has brought to market in machine learning. The ability of organizations and their networks to deploy security in depth and for the network to learn provides tremendous potential for enterprise security and improved delivery of goods and services to its customers. Keystroke dynamics and fraud detection are only the first examples of how Probayes and its partners and customers will leverage the tools of probability.”

The ability to identify anomalies goes to the heart of most security solutions. Probayes solutions provide an ability to include new and broader information into analysis engines that can identity and predict these anomalies. Cyber security that combines strong authentication techniques with security in depth improves security measures and enables global transactions and access. The demand for enhanced cyber security solutions includes the need to access cloud computing services and is particularly true in the current environment of widespread attempts at fraud.
“It’s important that these security and learning tools get put to work in building 21st century networks and products” commented Mr. D’Agostino.

Always Liguria is a region where the trade were fundamental steps and always very active, given its favorable geographical position.

In fact it is the geographical position that makes a nerve center of the Italian system, but also at European level.

Thanks to one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean and its position on the border with France and also the proximity to Europe is often used to direct the unloading of goods across Europe.

Precisely for this reason the government has allocated through the CIPE, the capital of the great works that will be more to Liguria near the big cities of the Po Valley and Europe.

The first work commissioned, which will begin in early 2010, although the sites are already open and ready-made hydraulic excavator and crushing machines, will be the third cross, which will connect Genoa with Po valley.

The work will consist almost entirely of a tunnel that will cross the Apennine Mountains that divide the city of Genoa to the Po valley, allowing to quickly connect the Ligurian city of Turin and Milan.

In addition to this work which have been allocated by the CIPE, already 500 million and will have the total cost of 5 billion euros budgeted hours, we will define other minor works that will improve the function of the transit in the region.

Veneto also being one of the richest regions of Italy has suffered a crisis of too few years.

To revive the most of this region, the government is implementing economic maneuvers, which in addition to bringing huge amounts of capital in the region, will modernize many of the facilities now present in the region or create new ones.

Just last week, the chairman of the council of ministers, Mr Silvio Berlusconi, during his visit to the Venetian has announced the allocation of 15 billion euro over three years.

This money will be used for the construction of various public works and the upgrading of others.
First of all the sublagunare, a subway that will link all of Venice, the cost of 650 million euro.

Unfortunately, this new means of transport in Venice is harshly criticized by firefighters, who consider a dangerous underground to a single gallery, with widening only at the stations.

Another major project, perhaps best known is the very famous system Mose, which should allow the city of Venice to shelter in times of high tide.

Further work on Veneto region in the program are the ring of Cortina, the Rail-Verona-Udine Vienna and others in the definition phase.

Safety in construction work is always an important issue in Italy as in the rest of the world.

The yards are large areas of work where there are dozens and sometimes hundreds of people, working with carpentry equipment.

Why it was organized in Grosseto and in many areas of Tuscany a camper traveling aims to disseminate the rules on safety in construction sites.

The camper will be active October 28 from 9 am in the town of Gavorrano, which will allow those who wish to attend lectures on safety in construction sites.

Initiative to be supported by technicians who deal with prevention of workplace hazards Asl 9, which will make available to anyone who wants their knowledge about the risks at work.

The campers will then move elsewhere in the region of Tuscany, like Massa Marittima, the fair of Marsiliana, but in another region, namely Ontario, going to Tarquinia, a town in the northern part of Lazio.

The event will end at Arezzo, with the last event for 2009, just 6 to 8 November 2009, where in addition to technical ASL 8 there will be those of ASL 9.
