New Products, New Features, New Leadership, and a Consolidated Identity Platform

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Evo Security, a leading identity and access management (IAM) company focused on Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers, today announced a major company rebrand, upcoming product releases and significant enhancements to its existing solutions, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s evolution and a meaningful step forward in consolidating IAM technology tailored specifically for MSPs.

The refreshed brand identity centers around the concept “Managed Security Starts with Identity,” reflecting Evo’s deep commitment to modern security best practices built on comprehensive identity and privileged access management.

“Identity breaches remain the leading cause of security incidents today,” said Michael Roth, Founder and CEO of Evo Security. “We are thrilled to bring our vision of a truly consolidated IAM platform for MSPs to life. With our enhanced platform and upcoming products, MSPs can now experience unified solutions that merge the capabilities of multiple vendors into one agent, one dashboard, and one solution partner,” Roth continued. “We are also excited to welcome Greg Gage, former technology innovation leader at Datto, as our new Chief Technology Officer. With our revitalized team and platform, Evo is more prepared than ever to meet the identity and privileged access management needs of MSPs.”

“Evo Security is essential in helping us enhance and maintain a robust identity and privileged access security program internally and for our customers,” said Will Alexander, VP of Security Operations at SonicWall Managed Security Services. “By consolidating multiple capabilities into one streamlined platform, we have significantly reduced time spent on troubleshooting, managing multiple portals, and require fewer technicians for oversight. Overall, Evo has helped lower operating costs and improve security management efficiencies, while delivering outstanding protection,” said Alexander.

Enhanced Features and Capabilities

Evo’s platform now offers a suite of advanced identity and privileged access tools designed to provide comprehensive protection while delivering an intuitive user experience:

Admin Portal: The revamped admin portal features a modernized, user-friendly interface with improved navigation, onboarding, and quality-of-life enhancements such as dark mode, streamlined multi-tenancy, and easier access to everyday tasks, data, and analytics. This allows MSPs to efficiently manage identity security controls, monitor activity, and assign privileges across large client bases.

Mobile Apps: Evo’s iOS and Android apps have been redesigned to become the preferred authenticator app for MSPs and their end users. Improvements include easier navigation, key customization, dark mode, offline codes, and device registration.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Evo MFA enables MSPs to deploy a second layer of user authentication when logging into Windows workstations and servers. Enhancements include an updated agent, improved deployment flexibility, easier administration, one-click user directory sync, and aggressive pricing that leads to significantly greater profit margins compared to legacy solutions.

Single Sign-On (SSO): Evo SSO allows MSPs to replace legacy SSO solutions with a brandable login designed to support the multi-tenant use case of MSPs. This includes securing any SAML-based web application with a wide variety of configurations used internally by MSPs and across all customers at a far more competitive price point, allowing for a substantial increase in profit margin compared to existing solutions.

Managed RADIUS: Evo RADIUS helps MSPs apply a second layer of user authentication to VPNs and firewalls. Unlike other solution providers, Evo hosts and manages the RADIUS server on behalf of the MSP and all customers. Updates include improved configuration flexibility and broader applicability across network devices.

Technician Elevation: Evo’s cornerstone privileged access solution, Technician Elevation, now offers a streamlined management interface, updated agent, granular time-based controls while technicians are elevated into a customer endpoint, and more flexibility on deployment.

Upcoming Products

End User Elevation: Evo End User Elevation simplifies how MSPs manage privilege escalation for standard end users at their customers. This solution offers automated, time-bound privilege elevation for end users, reducing technician time and the risk of security breaches by ensuring end users have the access they need when they need it.

Help Desk Verification: Evo Help Desk Verification is designed to reduce the risk of social engineering and identity fraud by enabling technicians to quickly and securely verify a user’s identity when calling a help desk or answering a ticket. This improves account takeover liability and enhances user experience for MSPs and their customers.

Greg Gage Joins as Chief Technology Officer

Evo Security is proud to welcome Greg Gage as Chief Technology Officer. Gage brings nearly two decades of cybersecurity expertise, having previously led R&D efforts at Datto, where he played a critical role in building industry-leading technology. After Datto, he founded Zorus, a company focused on advanced DNS filtering specifically for MSPs. At Evo, Gage will spearhead accelerated innovation plans that will help define a new category of identity and access management.

Evo Security to Unveil New Brand Identity at DattoCon 2024

Evo Security will unveil its new brand identity at DattoCon in Miami on October 28th, 2024. Attendees will get an exclusive look at Evo’s upcoming products, updated platform, and the bold vision set for the future. Visit booth 318 to speak with an Evo team member.

Big Frog celebrates a year of progress with five new locations, the launch of an e-commerce solution and additional initiatives to enhance franchisee success nationwide.

DUNEDIN, Fla.  , Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More, a leader in custom apparel franchising with over 75 locations across the U.S., is celebrating a successful 2024 full of new initiatives and growth.

“Our focus in 2024 was on launching and refining our new point-of-sale system, a critical investment in the future of our franchisees,” said Tina Bacon-DeFrece, founder and CEO of Big Frog. “This initiative laid the foundation for even greater success as we continue to enhance operations and support our stores.”

Revenue growth for the year was approximately 5%, supported by robust digital marketing efforts and the introduction of Big Frog’s Success Program, which encourages franchisees to engage more actively in marketing planning. Stores that followed their plans closely experienced notable growth, showcasing the program’s potential.

Five new franchise locations opened in 2024, including exciting expansions into Stockton, California, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although two additional locations were delayed due to permitting issues, they are set to open in early 2025.

“This year marked exciting expansion for Big Frog, including our first locations in Northern California and New Mexico,” said Bacon-DeFrece. “Our growth strategy, under the leadership of our new chief development officer, David Braun, is heavily focused on leveraging broker networks, digital initiatives, public relations, and organic search. It really has ignited interest across the country in our brand. We’re thrilled to expand into new regions while also strengthening our presence in areas like Florida, where local support is right in our backyard.”

Complementing these development efforts have been Big Frog’s existing franchisees, which have proven to be an excellent referral source and point of validation for prospective owners interested in the brand.

“We’ve refined our process over the years and now set up formal calls, which have been really nice for candidates because it sets expectations and dedicated times for them to speak one-on-one with our franchisees,” Bacon-DeFrece said. “That’s really made the validation process a lot easier for everyone since there is less back and forth.”

Big Frog is also taking a major step forward in leveraging technology to enhance its services and support franchisees. This year, the company focused on developing an innovative e-commerce platform that combines the convenience of online shopping with the personal touch of local fulfillment, setting the stage for its beta launch.

“Our e-commerce initiative has been one of the most exciting projects for Big Frog this year,” said Bacon-DeFrece. “We’re in the process of launching a national platform where customers can design and purchase custom apparel online, with fulfillment handled by our local stores. A key priority for us is ensuring fair revenue distribution across all locations, so every franchisee benefits whether they’re in a major metro area or a smaller market.”

In custom apparel trends, the brand saw increased demand for high-end corporate products like Carhartt and North Face items, as well as continued interest in promotional products. These offerings cater to clients seeking premium-quality branded merchandise.

“We now have access to a lot of those types of blank apparel to decorate,” said Bacon-DeFrece. “Our B2B customers really like that they get some really high end products, either for corporate gifts or for their team.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Big Frog aims to achieve double-digit revenue growth for its stores while exploring advancements in artificial intelligence to simplify store operations. The e-commerce solution, once fully launched, is expected to play a pivotal role in boosting franchisee revenue.

New Website Helps Consumers Navigate an Important Battery Choice for their EV or Hybrid Vehicle

East Penn has developed a new website to help navigate through the new ways batteries are being used in EV and Hybrid vehicles.

LYON STATION, Pa., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — East Penn has developed a new website to help navigate through the new ways batteries are being used in EV and Hybrid vehicles. These vehicles are more complex with different battery voltage systems within the same vehicle. They use both lithium and lead battery solutions, which are dependent on each other to operate a vehicle.

The lithium batteries that power the high voltage system are designed by the automotive manufacturer and most likely last for the life of the vehicle. However, the battery for the low voltage system will eventually need to be replaced. Making the right choice when replacing the 12-volt battery will protect both voltage systems. The battery that’s chosen could either enhance or hinder the overall performance and safety of the EV or Hybrid vehicle over time.

Traditional vehicles use a 12-volt battery to start the engine and to stabilize the electronics. Electric and Hybrid vehicles use the 12-volt battery for all types of safety critical and auxiliary power reasons. Here are a few:

Start-stop functions in micro hybridsStarting assistPowering cabin accessoriesSteer-by-wire power backupBrake-by-wire power backupOther smart controls or enhanced functions

It is more important than ever that the consumer understands the capabilities of the replacement battery for their EV or Hybrid. Battery manufacturers and distributors are beginning to designate their products so that the consumer has the reassurance that they have the right type of replacement battery to meet these safety-critical demands. East Penn has designated its Deka Intimidator line of AGM batteries with the EHP symbol that stands for Electric Hybrid Performance to help give the consumer added reassurance. It’s also important to note, that these lead batteries have achieved the highest Recycled Content (98%) Environmental validation from UL further accrediting them as one of the most sustainable products in the world.

East Penn is a leading manufacturer of high-quality lead batteries and accessories for the automotive, commercial, marine, motive power, UPS, and telecommunication markets. The company’s quality and environmental systems for its entire 520-acre complex have been certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO/TS 16949:2016, and ISO 14001:2015 requirements.
