Blueair unveils revamped new classic product range, better performing, sleeker and with clean air intelligence inside.

First unveiled during the IFA Berlin2015 tech show the much anticipated revamped Classic range is now available in Malaysia since April 2017.

Complete with a new built-in intelligent air monitoring system called ‘Aware’, a more convenient user interface, improved clean air delivery rates, and new design features enabling improved airflow and quieter operation to ensure that your home is safe from pollutants.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that Europe’s air pollution cost in 2010 alone is a staggering 1.6 trillion US dollars, as a result of the approximately 600,000 deaths and diseases it caused.

“Blueair’s new technology puts people in control of the air they breathe and makes healthy living and improved well being as effortless as having a robot vacuum cleaner. The Blueair Classic minimizes triggers for people who suffer from allergies and asthma by cleaning indoor air from 99.97 percent of all pollutants, which is great news for our customers and those they care for,”

said Karin Kruse, Global Product Marketing Manager

In a report, the WHO estimated that about 7 million people worldwide died as a result of air pollution exposure in 2012 alone. South-East Asia and the Western Pacific areas are the regions in which health is most affected by air pollution, with approximately 3.3 million deaths linked to indoor air pollution and 2.6 million to outdoor air pollution.

Concentrations of many samples of air contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are also consistently higher indoors than outdoors. An EPA study covering six communities in various parts of the US found indoor VOC levels up to 10 times higher than outdoors, even in locations with significant outdoor air pollution sources, such as petrochemical plants.

The Blueair Classic air purifier has been designed to protect you and your family from deadly pollutants inside your home.

The enhanced features of the new Classic also includes a more energy-efficient motor as well as a user-friendly interface under a top lid that flips open to reveal the electronic display indicating when a filter needs changing, a WiFi indicator, operating speed indicator and indicators showing levels of PM2.5 dust and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) in the indoor air.

“The new edition of the Blueair Classic reflects our commitment in leveraging connected home opportunities to make it easier for homeowners and businesses alike to benefit from cleaner, healthier air as they move through their day,”

said Karin Kruse.

She said the enhancements and benefits offered by Blueair’s latest iteration of its Classic product line reflects customer insight that air purifiers should be mobile, non-intrusive and capable of working while a person sleeps, jogs, eats, works, prepares food or reads a magazine while commuting.

In a nutshell, Blueair’s Classic air purifiers are easy to configure, easy to maintain, and perform excellently. It is a no-brainer choice for air purifiers currently offered in the market. Blueair offers a literal plug and play solution that is essential for all homes and indoor spaces. The New Classic product line now comes with 6 different models to match all space requirements and easily available throughout nation via 43 different locations.

Huawei improves on the perfect with the P10

The P10 defies the odds by improving on what was already great in the P9
3

Huawei’s P10 has managed to surpass its predecessor by improving on what was already one of the best smartphones on the market.

Huawei’s trademark spin in their smartphone designs comes by adding their own touch to the technology that already exists in mobile engineering landscape, for example, Huawei does not only implement android technology like some other smartphone makers do, but incorporates their EMUI 5.1 software that features machine learning. Huawei also makes their own chipsets from scratch and was the first smartphone maker to seriously consider incorporating dual lens photography at a high-performance level.

The new P10 now builds on that existing technology by upgrading the monochrome sensor on the rear camera from the original 12MP to the current 20MP on the P10. Huawei’s newest flagship product will also be the first smartphone to feature the company’s lossless zoom, a technology developed by Huawei that enables digital zoom without loss of quality.

A huge advancement for the device is Huawei’s implementation of optical image stabilisation (OIS) which will prevent blurry pictures caused by shakiness by compensating for the movement of the device.

The P9’s Leica engineered dual lens was a pioneering idea that has since been mimicked by the likes of its competitors such as Apple in its iPhone 7 plus and Samsung, who has also reportedly experimented with implementing the technology into their new S8 model during its prototyping stages, but opted not to install it in its final design.

The front camera has also undergone an upgrade and now features a Leica co-engineered 8 MP front facing lens. The device also features “portrait mode” which automatically adjusts the lighting to ensure high quality selfies. The P10’s new “adaptive selfie” feature on the front camera also automatically detects when there is more than one person in the shot. It will then change the camera’s settings to take a wide angled picture if the phone feels that it needs to.

Despite the main selling point of the P10 being its camera, the device does not lose out to its competitors in other departments. The P10 plus packs a large 3750 mAh battery while the P10 packs a 3200 mAh batter, both support supercharge that enables fast charging. Compared to another similar device on the market, the S8 only measures to 3000mAh, the same size as Huawei’s 2016 P9.

Battery Capacity (mAH), Higher is batter

Android 7.0 Nougat

The Android 7.0 Nougat runs alongside Huawei’s EMUI 5.1 which has implemented machine learning into the smartphone’s software. According to Huawei, EMUI 5.1 will be able to gauge how its user operates the device and adapt to him or her, increasing its overall operating efficiency. Because of this, Huawei says that the P10 will run faster a year after purchase than if it were fresh out of the box.  

New Processor

The P10 also packs Huawei’s newest processor, the octa-core Kirin 960 CPU. The Huawei made chipset slaps around its competitors in multi-core efficiency tests scoring above the likes of Samsung, Qualcomm and the iPhone’s A10 chip.

Huawei’s P10 has also improved its display and increased the pixel density of the device, measuring at 432 PPto 424 PPI on the Huawei P9. It’s also improved on its screen’s durability with its Gorilla Glass 5 screeI compared n instead of the old third generation Gorilla screens on the P9.

Putting another cherry on top of this device is the hyper diamond cut finishing that’s anti- fingerprint, anti-scratch and anti- slip.

The Huawei P10 is currently available in black and gold. Two new coloured models, blue and green, will be released on the 5th of May

*Pantone coloured P10, blue and green are available on 5th May.
Pantone coloured P10 Plus will be available within this month.

The newest generation of Huawei’s flagship line has surpassed all expectations of the company and if this is the benchmark with which we can set as an outlook to the company’s future products, the world of mobile phones looks brighter than ever.

How Can SMEs Improve Their Operations During The Tough Economy

How Can SMEs Improve Their Operations During The Tough Economy

by | Feb 28, 2017 | Branded Content, Tech

How Can SMEs Improve Their Operations During The Tough Economy?

Find out how you improve your company management and operations during this poor economy.

According to the Department of Statistics, there was a 0.4 percent marked decrease in the labour market in September 2016 and employment is going to be tougher this year. On top of that, companies like Shell Malaysia and hard disk maker Western Digital Corporation have announced that they would be laying off a combined total of almost 2000 people by 2017.

It is a tough time now, finding the right people while generating more revenue for your business. But the good news is that everyone, including your competitors are in the same boat as you in this bleak economic situation. However, this represents an opportune time to streamline your operations and strengthen the foundation of your company to stay ahead of the competition and thrive later on when the economy gets better.

So how does one even start? There are so many things to tackle but amidst all the distractions that need your attention, there are TWO important questions you need to ask yourself to get the right results.

Question 1

How do I keep my employees engaged in the company? How do I keep them committed to fight for the company’s dream and goals?

Question 2

How can I get my employees to be more productive? How can we focus in execution, execution, execution?

That’s it, just these two questions. But sadly, there are many businesses that forget to answer the questions above. They want to, but aren’t doing so.

Why is that?

Well, we’re busy. Splitting time between generating revenue and administrative matters such as payrolls, approving leaves, being sucked in to the mundane paperwork day after day. No wonder it’s so difficult to focus on the important things.

So now that you know the problem, how can one save time, energy, and resources from all the pesky administrative work and focus on things that matter?

We’ve got an answer for you. Kakitangan.com. Imagine all your administrative work done, just within minutes. Don’t believe us? Here’s how it helps:

1. It saves you both time and cost!

In many companies today, one has to apply for leave through a physical leave form, only to be processed by the HR department manually. Here’s the problem that affects  the employees, the employer, and the poor HR person.

As an employee: The amount of paperwork is terrible, one form needs multiple signatures, has to be done manually, and the worst of all, it takes some time to reach the manager’s desk for that final approval. It’s really a case of not knowing your leave application status at all!

As an employer: Keeping track of each individual’s leave day balance through paperwork is crazy! On top of that, one has to go through the whole list of employees to ensure that there is enough manpower available during that time period.

As the HR person: Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Data entry is going to be a nightmare.

However, with Kakitangan.com, an employer is able to approve their employees annual leave on their desktop or on mobile with a few simple clicks. The employer has full access to all employee’s leave dates and the best thing about it is that it is synced with the Malaysian public holidays calendar – from Penang all the way to Sabah, Kakitangan.com also syncs each state’s holidays! It even allows us to customize weekends to start on Fridays and Saturdays for businesses in Kelantan and Johor.

This is undoubtedly the best leave management system in Malaysia. The best thing about it? It’s free.

So, there’s no reason not to use Kakitangan.com, especially if your company is still applying for and approving leaves on paper.

Kakitangan.com isn’t just a one trick pony. Besides solving the frustration of applying and approving leaves, Kakitangan.com solves one of the MOST painful and troublesome HR work especially in SMEs: payrolls. Kakitangan.com also has a cloud payroll system and it automatically calculates each employee’s EPF/SOCSO/LHD and issues pay slips. For a SME of 10 people, the cost will shock you. It’s just RM50 per month. Which is just RM1.70 a day, the price of one glass of teh ais!

The real value one gets it the time saved from all the nitty gritty numbers of issuing pay slips. Hours of works turn into minutes and it is probably the easiest and most user-friendly payroll system in town. All your data is backed up on Amazon Web Services, the number one data center in the world. This means that there’s no need to fear when your computer crashes because everything will be backed up, safe, and secure.

2. It makes your employees’ (and yours) lives easier

When my company migrated to use Kakitangan.com, my staff’s feedback has only been positive with the wonderful experience of applying for their leave and getting their payslips on their phone. They told me that they do enjoy a modern company that makes it easier for them.

And there’s more to that! I used to buy medical insurance from an agent, and after a period of time when someone actually gets admitted into the hospital, our HR team had forgotten the insurance coverage for this particular employee. However, since buying medical insurance from Kakitangan.com, my employees, HR team and I can login and view their own insurance coverage with a listing of panel hospitals and the room rates per night! It’s definitely a lifesaver!

Kakitangan.com is also the perfect platform to ensure your employee’s happiness and job satisfaction. What do I mean by this? Let’s take birthdays for an example. Birthdays of each employee are synced in the calendar, giving your team the opportunity to bond together and to plan things in advance. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

On top of that, Kakitangan.com is also the platform to buy birthday cakes, flowers, team lunches and activities and a corporate gym membership. This definitely improves your employees’ well-being in the company.

3. It’s SME friendly

Yes, although there are plenty of different HR platforms out there, a big problem especially for a small and growing business is that they are quite technical, expensive, or have features that does not suit SMEs. Kakitangan.com is really designed with the SMEs in mind. I am able to start utilizing the leave and payroll system in minutes and for free! For a nominal price, you get the payroll system too! You can’t get any better than that!

So, there you have it! Whether you’re just starting out with a few employees or you have a larger team with you, always remember that your employees are your greatest assets.

From paper leave forms and manual payroll processes, it’s baffling to know that a lot of companies are still applying HR practices from 40 years ago! It’s time to do things better and more efficiently. And with the help of Kakitangan.com, you will see your company becoming better and your business grow faster! Create a system for your company today at Kakitangan.com and become a better company!

It’s time to change!

The first 24 hours after a cyber attack

The first 24 hours after a cyber attack

The first 24 hours after a cyber attack

A simple guide on how to respond to a cyber attack:

Data Breaching

by Praise Maukazuva

A data breach is when your personal data has been viewed, stolen or used without any authorization.

Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT)

Dealing with cyber attacks is strenuous. There is no guarantee that your security measures will keep your system or data safe.

Ways to respond to these attacks in an effective and comprehensive manner are actively being developed at the highest level in government bodies and International communities. However it is difficult to identify the type of attack you are facing until an investigation has been carried out.

First of all, you need a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) to manage the whole process. They should all be assigned to a task each, for example one member will deal with how to notify affected users or IT specialists in case there is a technical fault.

Notifications

Secondly, notifications are sent to affected users. For example, in a company, employees, investors, and customers should be notified. Most importantly the law enforcement and legal authorities should also be notified. The notification should include key details to show the source of the problem, how it is currently being fixed and assurance that it will not be a problem in the future. E-bay was criticized for not notifying its victims in time after its system was hacked in 2014.

As mentioned earlier, the type of attack is essential to determine the type of response. The network will be slower than normal due to reduced internet speed. This can be a sign of a hacking attempt or that the computer has been infected by a form of malware, or a network worm could be replicating itself. There could also be frequent antivirus software alerts reporting an infection in the computer.

After detecting the type of attack the next step would be to assess whether it is massive or not. Cyber attacks can either be a basic or sophisticated. So how do we distinguish between the two.

BASIC ATTACKS

BASIC ATTACKS involve small-time criminals such as individual hacktivists that target other private individuals and non-strategic Government departments for financial gain and publicity. They have limited skills and resources that are publicly known.

SOPHISTICATED ATTACKS

SOPHISTICATED ATTACKS are seriously organized crimes that are usually sponsored by the State and advanced tools are used. Their targets are the Government or Major Corporate Organizations for warfare, terrorism, major financial rewards and also to unveil National secrets.

In a sophisticated attack the whole system may be shut down and you will know that you have been attacked. For example a certain department in an Organization has its system shutdown by an attacker and for them to restore their system they need to pay money.

Prevention

Next step is to prevent the attack from spreading into other systems as well. You can keep all affected systems or devices offline,isolated or suspended to stop incoming traffic from the attacker. Passwords should be changed and strengthened.

Do not delete any files, as they might be useful during the investigation.

Continuously document the whole process. So far, the type of attack, the areas it has affected, how it occurred and how it was detected should have been documented. This will be for future references.

Forensic

The most important step would be to contact a forensic team or cyber security experts to further investigate the incident. The investigation will include:

  • Identifying the attacker or the cause of the attack
  • Detecting previously unknown security vulnerabilities
  • Identifying areas that need improvement or better security.
  • Assist in repairing the damage and re-building a stronger system protection with sophisticated security measures.

The forensic team uses a variety of tools during the investigation process. A simple example is TRIPWIRES, a software that detects critical file changes and intrusions on the network.

In short, a cyber attack response involves:

  • Form an incident response team
  • Notify victims and law enforcement
  • Detect the type of attack
  • Assess the scale of the attack
  • Prevent further damage
  • Document the steps taken and why they were taken
  • Contact security specialists for forensic investigation
  • Recover system with prevention measures

An effective method of response to a cyber attack is necessary as it minimises loss and data destruction. It shows vulnerabilities that were compromised and methods to avoid or reduce future risks!
