Sadly, We Are Falling Apart! But, The Fix Is In!

Sadly, We Are Falling Apart!  But, The Fix Is In!
Nick Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

It is not what you think, business is great and our four decades could not be finer, customer base growing, on-target innovations and success booming and then...

Our management started to age, fall apart healthwise.  No, nothing that cannot be fixed with a little cutting and replacing that is.  

Our V.P. Law Enforcement, who played in his youth for Chelsea Football club and was a major part of the 'Flying Squad', (Major Crimes) in Britain's Metropolitan Police, has been suffering with a deteriorating hip, which has been causing agony for a couple of years.

As of this morning, it is being replaced!  

So that is one fix that is in!

Secondly, I had knee surgery in the late 1970's by the inventor of the replacement hip, Mr. Mckee.  Well nothing lasts forever and I am having replacement knee surgery on Thursday.  Both Derek Keene and I will still be as active as ever during the recuperation, electronically that is.

Our other managing partner, AJ, in our Netherlands office has been concerned that he is the only fit one in management!  He was joking of course...

Pain causes issues and the daily change mirrors what we must effectively do on a daily basis, that is if you are up to snuff and serving your corporation well.

CommSmart Global Group of Companies is use to looking at what needs to be changed.


Our Red Tagged software group is proven cutting edge for the needs of today and the ongoing hacking and phishing explosion.



Our taking on employment and why the job must search you out is necessary in this social or antisocial age. ZoooMeee is the way for both job seekers and improving your HR department and using them the correct way.

Then, the crime analytics which encompasses crime, terrorism and cyber categories by allowing all agencies globally to share information, even if they use differing data collection and software. It is also available for the public to view in a less informational way. 

IRATC, International Repository of Analysis for Terrorism/Cyber Crimes

This is your global data repository for those facts that require sharing to protect us all.

So, we have achieved a massive amount while 'under the weather' so to speak. 

It is business as usual as a small corporate percentage sip on dry Martinis and savor exquisite cuisine, whilst doing rehab.

The show must go on...

WE ARE IN THE NOW AND KEEP YOU; IN THE KNOW...

If Our Protectors Are Not Ready for Cyber/Terrorism Warfare, What About You?

If OUR PROTECTORS ARE NOT Ready 
for Cyber/Terrorism Warfare, 
What About You?
By Nick Ashton,CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

The Armies, both Military, Law Enforcement and Homeland Security of Kings and Queens, all powerful, commanding and are a privilege to join.  They are the power source for protection of our shores, family and the value of a nation.

Not anymore!

The weapons used included fist and feet, knives, guns, grenades, mines, bombs, missiles, satellites, sex, MRE’s and importantly varying grades of tacticians. 

Our protectors keep their abilities close to their chest and you trust them implicitly. 

So what the HELL happened?

On Cyber war, this quote for the top military man:

The U.S. military is ill-prepared for waging cyber warfare and needs to bolster defenses against the growing threat of cyber-attacks against both military systems and private infrastructure, the commander of U.S. Cyber Command told Congress on Thursday.

“Those attacks are coming and I think those are near term and we’re not ready for them,” said Army Gen. Keith Alexander, head of Cyber Command and also outgoing director of the National Security Agency.

Alexander, in prepared testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, sounded the alarm on the need for better cyber-attack and defense capabilities. He said the command’s priorities include setting up a secure “defensible” telecommunications architecture, training cyber warfare personnel, increasing intelligence data on global cyber threats, and clarifying lines of authority for conducting cyber-attacks and defending government and private networks.”

Excuse me?  The attacks are not coming, they are here and getting worse, ignored, not reported immediately and swept under the carpet!  That is why I cannot understand why they call it Cyber Command, as they are not in command!

Trusted Remedy is more in command for “Shutting the Front Door” than the American Government.  Fact, not fiction…

The failure of cyber security is not knowing your password and importantly remembering it or where you wrote it down.  Passwords are not the answer as they are so easy to hack, after all, we humans take the easy way out, as we cannot remember birthdays, anniversary or the name of the guy behind the lunch counter you see every day.

So who is this CommSmart Global RED TAGGED 

A company, who, for the last twenty years has protected more computer data, both personal and corporate from the new cyber terrorists who steal the information directly from the files on your Desktop PC/Mac, Laptop, Tablet and Smart Mobile Phone.  They get so close you can smell their hardware.  They do not spill blood, they spill the inner most secrets of your life, both business and pleasure.  Some and most should never see the light of day.

RED TAGGED END2END ENCRYPTION (E3) Trusted Remedy was created because there was nothing out there in the computer security world that protected data, was easy to manage and worked!  Hence, the Secure Connection Solution for Data in Motion or In-Transit of today.  

Passwords are useless, so to speak, on an education campus they get passed around, households all use the same one and most are so easy and connected to birthdays, anniversaries or so ridiculous you forget them or keep them on a torn piece of paper in your clutch or wallet.

The human element lets us down every time and that is why we have created a hallway or corridor that is totally secure.  

It not only Shuts the Front Door, It Shuts the Back Door Too!  It allows your device to speak!

It is all about connections, secure connections without a human element.  It is your device, Desktop PC/Mac, Laptop, Tablet and Smart Mobile Phone, they are your token, it negates the password, so to speak.

It is the ability to know that your Data in Motion is a mere blip in transference and all is transparent in it actions.  It is not some elongated action that takes forever or lives on the Internet way after you are gone. 

Trusted Remedy is short lived certificate solution based on your device’s DNA, sorry to be technical for the first time.

Trusted Remedy turns your device into a token with no need of a password if you like. Secondly, it is not the server side that causes the problem, but the Man in the Middle and Phishing attacks

Only with Trusted Remedy you can use 123456 as a password because without the device, even using the right log-in and password, the connection is blocked! 

Even in a consumer environment Trusted Remedy will secure your desktop PC/Mac, laptop, tablet, smart mobile phone to have fully secure transactions with your bank, your website, corporate data servers, secure your bank card transaction at Target, the gas pump or the local restaurant, even your Linked In page!

The Hacker, Phisher or Man in the Middle Brutal Attacker will do anything to steal your information and never even meet you.  Whilst you swipe your bankcard, they swipe/steal your inner most personal information.  You are violated in a way that is difficult to explain. 

When it happens to you, and it will, you will understand the turmoil they will put you through and will kick yourself that you did not take notice of what you can do to protect all your information, computer based devices, your business and importantly your clients/customers.

So what about you?  Ready to corporately and personally understand what has to happen to protect Data in Motion or In-Transit? 

Then we must talk. 

This is a commercial solution that will Shut Both the Front and Back Doors with a secure connection.

WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…

The Human Cyber Cull


The Human Cyber Cull
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

Sadly, the majority of corporation's leadership worldwide, have no idea of the ramifications of the effects and implications of the normal day to day business of storing and accessing stored computer data.

The safety of writing with a pen and paper is long gone.  The physical filing room, with fireproof file cabinets under lock and key, have for the most part vanished.  It is the digital age of 1's and 0's.  With the so called protection of a human made-up password, that is forgotten, shared, stolen and forgotten on too many occasions. 

The sacred sanctity of privacy is no more!

What, in a few short years has driven us to these times?  Stupidity, ignorance, or maybe we all have been lead to trust in others, instead of doing for ourselves.

Computers are not the issue, it is HUMANS!

Logic it seems has flown the coup and left a bubbling mindset of an unsocial world of "them" and "us".

Compuserve and AOL were the first for linking people as far back as the 1980's, with Bulletin Boards and means for people to connect with messaging and filing sharing.  A harmless means of communications using landline telephones and slow modems.

In 1983, I was the CEO of Commercial Databanks who was the first commercial means of electronic messaging.  Using Texas Instrument "dumb terminals" with a built-in 300 baud modem, that could use a landline phone anywhere to collect your messages from your assigned electronic pigeon hole.  No screen, it was printed on paper and could either be kept and filed or destroyed.

Pioneers so to speak, fully understanding the potential of information sharing and its capabilities.  Not like the the disaster in anti-social activities we have today.

It was in 1976 that my first cyber steps were taken with computers, both hardware and software, limited to say the least for commercial opportunities. Thankfully our great team of Rod Smith, marketing, Alf Lilford and Colin Taplin, both ex-Royal Air Force computer technology "nerds", with an immense knowledge and foresight, worked in harmony and with an incredible vision of the road ahead.  I have never forgotten the gleaned knowledge of those days.

As we hyper travel back to today, the issues are not ones of looking forward and understanding the power of the computer, it is the complacency of those who are taking for granted the day to day activities and reliance of the cyber machine with human overtones.

Boards and C-Level Executives have taken their finger off the button of logical understanding.  Not realizing, that the world of cyber is more important to be cohesive in working with marketing, production, transportation, accounting, customer service and significantly, shareholders and customers/clients.

When you are entrusted with information of a sensitive nature, you must, no, it is demanded that you take every available step to protect and secure from theft, prying eyes and misuse.

Your information technology individuals and departments can only execute the above rules, if they are competent and have the budget to accomplish the procedures.  

The daily task of normal cyber maintenance is more than a run-of-the-mill operation.  With so many cyber front doors being opened and supposedly closed, just like us humans, we leave lights on, taps dripping and keys in locks. We are failures at so many simple daily tasks and it does not seem that anyone cares, let alone looks at the checks and balances.

A message to your IT department, "you might be secure today, but tomorrow is a whole different story".

You can ill-afford to be next headline, like Hyatt Hotels or whoever is front page cyber hacking news today!

That is why we at CommSmart Global and our Red Tagged Team are so direct!  

We have amassed a worldwide diverse team with decades of knowledge in all areas of business and cyber and human concerns. Understanding the day-to-day running of a conglomerate, marketing, production, transportation, accounting, customer service and importantly, the Information Technology Department.

Red Tagged speaks your language, clearly, precisely and directly!

It is one thing to know about Malware threat potential and recognizing it once it has happened.  It is a totally different story when you can defend against it and maintain the cyber security that is demanded today.

There is the difference with Red Tagged, we not only know about, we have the solutions!

As Cyber Forensic Anthropologists with a touch of human content, we understand the layers of complexity that have been unfortunately hidden for years. The changes in cyber/human management bring new ideas which are laid over existing issues which are never rectified. I can assure you, hidden inside your computer servers are programs still running, collecting information and not part of your cyber security solution today, leaving a vulnerability factor you can ill-afford.

Once the baseline is established and rectified by Red Tagged's team, you will be able to maintain the cyber security with continuing service and solutions that you will have in place and control.

Securely control the entrusted data of 
your important shareholders, customers and clients.

Burner Phones Are Worse Issue Than Necessary Encryption

Burner Phones Are Worse Issue Than Necessary Encryption
Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

Burner phones and SIM cards can be purchased anywhere and are the main terrorist and drug dealers mode of communication.

In the world of communications, there is good and evil and are we going to ban burner phones completely?

NO!

It is a societal issue, yes people!  You, your colleagues, family members, those that surround you.  Do you really know those close to you?

No one is can be trusted in this day and age or can we make change?

Law enforcement rely on information gathering and YOU must play your part.

Why We Can Stand Tall and State The Ultimate In Cyber Protection!

Why We Can Stand Tall and State
The Ultimate In Cyber Protection!
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

Recognizing innovation and the fact that you cannot invent or create everything yourself, is a major step in being factual in the initiative and inventiveness of all.

For something to be a success or to work as stated, does not have to have been invented by you!  The rejection of solutions on those grounds is stifling frugal innovation!

When there is an issue or crisis you turn to someone or something that can fix it and fix it now.  It is the fresh eyes and ears that make the difference.

Don't have meeting after meeting to evaluate, look to those that have the knowledge and wherewithal to stop the rot or fix the problem.

Experience does count!  The ability to recognize others for their achievements, lend your expertise to bring it to market and improve, with them, on their solution, is the ultimate.

That is what we do.

Sure, we have been innovators on many fronts ourselves and sometimes we see that others have preceded us in the creation of a near perfect solution.  If we feel it can be utilized and improved upon, we approach and do so.  That is why we have an exciting group of companies and individuals with the ultimate solutions.

We are a company with long roots in the computer world, dating back to 1976. Thank goodness our minds have journeyed well and along the way continued to recognize how a product, solution or a service can be implemented with success.  

That is why we are here and when it comes to Cyber Security we are second to none!

The groundwork has been accomplished and our capabilities shine when it comes to resolving these Hacking, Phishing and Man in the Middle Brutal Attackers.  

Humbly we communicate that there is no one with the Expertise, Passion, Commitment or Pride than our global team.

WE ARE IN THE NOW AND KEEP YOU; IN THE KNOW...

Pathetic Anti Social Corporate Attackers, Silenced!


Pathetic Anti Social Corporate Attackers, Silenced!
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO CommSmart Global Group of Companies

It started with one of our posts - 

There Is Nowhere To Hide! You May Have The Data, But Can YOU Use It Profitably?

It is about predictability, next event predictability, which is successful whence you have excellent data to work with.  

Analytics is our life blood in all we do and accomplish.  Whether it be our total cyber security or counterterrorism arm of our group of companies.  Our employment solution and H.R. perfection on knowing your employees regarding 'passion and competencies' with the ability to have vacancy find the potential employee and allow H.R. to fully know their fellow staff and their ability to further the corporation for the upcoming Key Battlefields or, our full crime analytics which improve productivity and expenditure, we care and our passion shows!

When an 'Ian Ross', Regional Director, GIF Consulting Services, (GIF Consultora) posted a statement, just two worlds regarding our Blog, posted on Linkedin, which was the two words, "Total BS'. I challenged him professionally.

The following is the thread of the conversation:

Ian Ross: 



"Total BS"


Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

Really? I smile at your two words! I suggest you open your mind and absorb FACTS! Proven FACTS... Contact us direct...

Ian Ross:

"facts facts facts! You sound like Tony Blair. Probably does your sales strategy for you."

Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

Ian, stop making a fool out of yourself... in a public arena. It seems you cannot pick up a phone and be shown the truth. No B.S., Reality... You can have an opinion and try and play clever, it will bite you in the rear...It is making a mockery of your company by your statements... 

Ian Ross:

"now this is getting boring. you can get therapy for your kind of problems. but not all narcissts can be"

Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

Boring because you have nothing to say of merit Sir... will speak with your company executives in the morning... Constructive comments we can handle childish comments from a supposed security expert we deal with in a professional manner. 

Ian Ross:

"Yawn ) why wait until the morning? are you too tired to do it now? I find it amusing as well when I see threats from some one trying to come his corporate tough guy act! Opinions are allowed. Believe itor not, you do not own linked-in."

Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

Boring because you have nothing to say of merit Sir... will speak with your company executives in the morning... Constructive comments we can handle childish comments from a supposed security expert we deal with in a professional manner. 

Ian Ross: 

"Slander is spoken. Libel is written 9just to help you know the difference) I posted my comment as me. But whatever makes you happy. "

Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

Sir, we do not own LinkedIn. We do have a court system, which treats 'Slander' effectively. As per your web site and telephone number, it will be contacted in the morning as we do not take these type of comments lightly. You posted your comment as the Regional Director of GIF. Govern Yourself Accordingly.
now


Nick Ashton - CommSmart Global

It seems Ian Ross deleted his comments. In his last post, he corrected me on mentioning 'Slander' and that it was Liable. I knew that, and predicted his comment. Ian, you are anti-social individual and being in the security business and making all the statements which we have in email form, shows you are wrongfully employed. Sad, that don't have the balls to follow through on this thread. We are and going to your employer. Our 'Passion' is strong and we stand by our facts and success, importantly our clients.

The latter is an issue for all regarding social media and how your employees and even yourself handle posting comments and information.

As for Mr. Ian Ross, he is M.I.A. on Linkedin!  Gone..., removed his comments and his profile is gone.  I wonder why?

His supposed company has received a copy of this and I look forward to an apology.  Oh, I will not hold my breath for that.

CommSmart Global is a 'straight talking' company, we wear our passion on our sleeves and protect all we do and especially our clients.

As you can see, we do not take even two words, simply and 'turn the other cheek'!

The likes of Ian Ross can have opinions when they are constructive, his were not!

WE ARE IN THE NOW AND KEEP YOU; IN THE KNOW...
