  • MIL-OSI: CrashPlan Acquires Microsoft Partner Parablu to Extend M365 Protection

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Data protection and resilience leader CrashPlan announced today it has acquired Parablu, Inc. a leading provider of data security and resiliency solutions known for its market-leading offerings protecting Microsoft 365 (M365) data. The acquisition positions CrashPlan to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive backup and recovery capabilities for data stored on servers, on endpoint devices and in Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams to Azure, their cloud, or to CrashPlan’s proprietary cloud.

    “Organizations of all sizes worldwide rely heavily upon Microsoft applications to store their most valued intellectual property,” said CrashPlan CEO John Becker. “Recent events like the UniSuper incident have reminded organizations that it is mission-critical to back up the valuable data stored on their platforms. In fact, the responsibility to regularly backup data is assigned to users by nearly every SaaS platform’s terms and conditions.”

    The Parablu acquisition enables CrashPlan to offer a complete cyber-ready data resilience solution that protects intellectual property (IP) and other data from accidental data deletion, ransomware, and Microsoft service interruptions.

    In addition to providing data protection and the ability to recover quickly from ransomware incidents, the combined technology can help customers store backup data with no additional costs by leveraging existing OneDrive and Azure infrastructure. Parablu earned a patent for its technology’s integration with Microsoft OneDrive for Business and Google Drive, allowing enterprises with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace subscriptions to use unused portions of their OneDrive for Business or Google Drive storage as secure backup repositories. Because CrashPlan has its own proprietary cloud infrastructure with data centers around the globe rather than relying on third-party cloud providers, customers can also take advantage of unlimited backup for endpoints and low-cost storage for servers and SaaS application backups.

    “Customers frequently come up against storage limits and turn to Parablu for archiving to save money while retaining rich data access,” said Parablu CEO and President Anand Prahlad, who will now act as CTO for CrashPlan. “We have seen even higher demand for M365 and Google Workspace protection over the last year as businesses have come to understand their shared responsibility for data backup.”

    “Idea workers” and the backup gap
    M365 risk is just one dimension of a growing problem inside of intellectual property-intensive businesses: a backup gap. In these organizations, data is distributed, and dozens of ‘idea workers’ – media, researchers, designers, engineers, architects, even lawyers – are constantly iterating within a number of specialized applications. Their files are often multiversion and very large, making backup trickier and endpoints riskier. Backup tools originally built to be used by IT departments for Oracle and SAP databases just don’t meet their needs.

    “Today’s idea workers create and store enormous value for their organizations – and without the right backup tools in place, weeks, even months of work can be lost in an instant,” added Becker. “At CrashPlan, we are building the first comprehensive cyber-ready data resiliency platform for organizations whose ideas power their revenue.”

    About CrashPlan
    CrashPlan® enables organizational resilience through secure, scalable, and straightforward data backup. With automatic backup and customizable file version retention, you can bounce back from any data calamity. What starts as backup and recovery becomes a solution for ransomware recovery, breaches, migrations, and legal holds. So, you can work fearlessly and grow confidently.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SADA (an Insight company), a leading business and technology consultancy and award-winning Google Cloud Premier Partner across various products and engagement models, announces the launch of its Managed Security Operations (SecOps) services, available Oct. 8, 2024.

    This comprehensive offering provides organizations with a fully managed, 24/7 security solution leveraging the power of Google Security Operations (formerly Chronicle). SADA’s Managed SecOps empowers businesses to achieve:

    • Enhanced Threat Detection and Rapid Response: Identify and neutralize threats with Google Cloud’s industry-leading, intelligence-driven, and AI-powered security analytics and automation capabilities.
    • Cost-Effective Security Operations: Reduce the burden on internal resources and eliminate the need for expensive in-house Security Operation Center (SOC) infrastructure.
    • Improved Security Detection: Gain deeper visibility and continuous monitoring across your entire IT environment, from cloud and SaaS to on-premises.

    Addressing the Security Operations Challenge

    Today’s organizations grapple with a constant barrage of security data and alerts, often lacking the skills and expertise to manage them effectively. Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions continue to increase in complexity, along with the threats they are trying to defend against. As a result, SOC management is resource-intensive, leaving security teams overwhelmed and unable to maintain 24/7 monitoring.

    Building and maintaining an in-house SOC is costly and requires advanced security solutions and analyst resources. There is a growing opportunity for security engineering teams to leverage AI to optimize their operations and tackle the challenges of increasing workloads; however, understanding how to best utilize these tools requires significant investment and technical knowledge.

    “The ever-expanding threat landscape requires organizations to adopt advanced security solutions with continuous monitoring and rapid response capabilities,” said Rocky Giglio, Global Director of Security GTM at SADA. “Our Managed SecOps service leverages the power of Google Cloud and its proven ability to handle massive amounts of data and its Security Operations platform, combined with SADA’s global team of experienced security analysts to deliver comprehensive protection and peace of mind to our customers.”

    SADA’s Managed SecOps addresses these challenges directly by providing:

    • Top Experts in Google Security Operations:
      SADA’s Google Cloud-certified experts leverage the advanced threat detection and automation capabilities of Google Security Operations to deliver comprehensive security monitoring.
    • Continuous Threat Monitoring and Response:
      SADA’s security operations center, staffed by highly trained analysts, provides 24/7 monitoring and rapid response to security incidents, including both external and insider threats.
    • Reduced Alert Fatigue:
      SADA’s security teams filter out noise and prioritize high-risk threats, enabling customer technical staff to focus on the most critical issues with a high-touch ticket portal providing quick remediation handoff.
    • Improved Threat Investigation:
      Leveraging our expertise and Google Cloud’s advanced analytics, SADA can perform threat hunts and investigate complex threats quickly and efficiently, powered by Mandiant Intelligence.
    • Enhanced Security Posture:
      SADA’s Managed SecOps helps customers maintain a strong security posture by supporting customers’ regulatory compliance and data security, including receiving an annual Security Assessment to check up on their security configuration across their IT environment.
    • AI Augmentation:
      SADA’s Managed Security Team can act quickly and effectively with the help of Google Security Operations’ AI capabilities to build and enhance Security Operation workflows in ways that legacy Managed Security Service Providers cannot, such as rapid, tailored query creation or custom playbook automation development.

  • MIL-OSI: Tenable Cloud Risk Report Sounds the Alarm on Toxic Cloud Exposures Threatening Global Organizations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenable®, the exposure management company, today released its 2024 Tenable Cloud Risk Report, which examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments. Most alarmingly, nearly four in 10 organizations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the “toxic cloud triad” of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads. Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data, but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyber attackers.

    Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk. The Tenable Cloud Risk Report provides a deep dive into the most pressing cloud security issues observed in the first half of 2024, highlighting areas such as identities and permissions, workloads, storage resources, vulnerabilities, containers and Kubernetes. It also offers mitigation guidance for organizations seeking ways to limit exposures in the cloud.

    Publicly exposed and highly privileged cloud data lead to data leaks. Critical vulnerabilities exacerbate the likelihood of incidents. The report reveals that a staggering 38% of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud triad criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target. When bad actors exploit these exposures, incidents commonly include application disruptions, full system takeovers, and DDoS attacks that are often associated with ransomware. Scenarios like these could devastate an organization, with the 2024 average cost of a single data breach approaching $5 million.1

    Additional key findings from the report include:

    • 84% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources: The majority of organizations (84.2%) possess unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions, a significant security gap that poses substantial risk.
    • 23% of cloud identities have critical or high severity excessive permissions: Analysis of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure reveals that 23% of cloud identities, both human and non-human, have critical or high severity excessive permissions.
    • Critical vulnerabilities persist: Notably, CVE-2024-21626, a severe container escape vulnerability that could lead to the server host compromise, remained unremediated in over 80% of workloads even 40 days after its publishing.
    • 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage: 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets, including those in which sensitive data resides. This exposure, often due to unnecessary or excessive permissions, has been linked to increased ransomware attacks.
    • 78% of organizations have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers: Of these, 41% also allow inbound internet access. Additionally, 58% of organizations have cluster-admin role bindings — which means that certain users have unrestricted control over all the Kubernetes environments.

    “Our report reveals that an overwhelming number of organizations have access exposures in their cloud workloads of which they may not even be aware,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “It’s not always about bad actors launching novel attacks. In many instances, misconfigurations and over-privileged access represent the highest risk for cloud data exposures. The good news is, many of these security gaps can be closed easily once they are known and exposed.”

    The report reflects findings by the Tenable Cloud Research team based on telemetry from billions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories, analyzed from January 1 through June 30, 2024.

  • MIL-OSI: Need for Vehicle Affordability Becoming More Pronounced, According to New CarGurus Report

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Analysis of third quarter trends also highlights hybrid demand overtaking electric vehicles, the ongoing balance between new car inventory and sales, and more

    BOSTON, Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CarGurus, Inc. (Nasdaq: CARG), the No. 1 visited digital auto platform for shopping, buying, and selling new and used vehicles1, today released its Quarterly Review for Q3 2024, identifying areas of opportunity as the consumer need for affordability becomes more pronounced.

    “As we near the end of 2024, it’s clear that consumers are speaking loudly with their wallets. After years of post-pandemic revenge spending, consumers are becoming more prudent as they face economic uncertainty, still-high interest rates, and vehicle prices that remain elevated,” said Kevin Roberts, Director of Economic and Market Intelligence at CarGurus. “As a result, we’re seeing concentrated demand for more affordable cars, with sales of certain price segments—$20,000 to $30,000 for new and $15,000 to $20,000 for used—accounting for the greatest share of annual sales growth, 43% and 59% respectively.”

    According to CarGurus data, the shift is especially pronounced in the used market, with vehicles $30,000 and under driving year-over-year sales growth, while cars over $30,000 declined. Further reflecting this trend, used cars over $35,000 are remaining on dealer lots longer compared to more affordable options.

    Additional highlights from the report include:

    • Hybrids are having the year many expected for electric vehicles (EVs): There were big expectations for EV demand in 2024, but hybrids have taken the spotlight with more affordable pricing and fewer concerns around range and charging. Year-to-date, new hybrids accounted for nearly 11% of total retail sales, while EVs were 4% (excluding direct-to-consumer sales volumes). New hybrid retail sales volumes are up nearly 44% year-over-year.
    • New car inventory working to find equilibrium with demand: As automakers try to balance new inventory with demand, a larger share of aging new cars remain on dealer lots. At the end of September, about 58,000 new listings nationwide were two years or older (a nearly 58% increase compared to pre-Covid averages). With 2025 models rolling onto lots, the surplus of these new, but slightly older, models could present an opportunity for price-conscious shoppers.
    • The upcoming election could impact new and used sales demand: In analyzing vehicle sales from 2002 onward—and comparing the seasonality of non-presidential election years to presidential election years—presidential election years tend to see a decline in sales demand in August, October, and November before rebounding at year-end.
    • Immediate impact of interest rate cuts might be muted: While interest rate reductions are a welcome update, the September cuts will do little to improve near-term affordability concerns. Because auto rates tend to follow two- and five-year treasury rates as opposed to the short-term Federal Funds Rate, consumers will not immediately see significant declines. Additionally, with auto loan delinquencies rising, financial institutions may be more hesitant to lend credit or quickly lower rates.

    To read about these trends and more, the complete Quarterly Review for Q3 2024 is available here.

  • MIL-OSI: Multimedia Update – RentRedi Reports Landlords Enjoy 99% On-time Rent Payments When Tenants Use Autopay

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RentRedi, the fastest-growing property management software, released new data that demonstrates the effectiveness of its automatic payments (“autopay”) feature in ensuring landlords collect rent on time. According to data collected between January 2020 and August 2024, units with at least one tenant using RentRedi’s autopay feature reported on-time rent payments 99% of the time. Conversely, units without tenants using autopay had an 88% on-time payment rate.

    The autopay feature is widely used on the RentRedi platform across a variety of rental property types. While units associated with classic residential property categories (single-family residential, duplex, etc.) dominate the top of the list of RentRedi’s autopay users, other property types using automatic payments include sorority and fraternity housing, parking garages, and storage/warehousing facilities.

    Tenants can set up autopay to ensure that their rent payments will be made consistently for the same amount every month. If tenants have not already set up autopay on their own, their landlords can invite them to do so using the rent collection features within the RentRedi app. Tenants who share rent for the same unit can also take advantage of a RentRedi’s ability to allow multiple tenants to set up autopay to split rent charges.

    “We are fundamentally focused on making renting easier for both landlords and tenants, and our autopay feature is proven to benefit both parties,” said RentRedi Co-founder and CEO Ryan Barone. “There is a great incentive for tenants to use the autopay feature, because it removes the risk of missing payments and incurring late fees. This saves tenants time and money, and also provides a more reliable cash flow to landlords.”

    Autopay’s benefits remain consistent for tenants with different economic situations, resulting in similar on-time payment patterns. For example, data collected between January 2020 and August 2024 show that units with tenants that had weaker credit scores still pay 98.8% of their monthly payments on time when using autopay, as opposed to 85.4% for those who do not enable the feature.

    Additionally, RentRedi recently expanded its on-time rent reporting to all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The ability to report on-time rent payments helps tenants build and boost their credit scores. RentRedi data shows that landlords are likely to see a 13% jump in on-time rent payments when a tenant is benefitting from the RentRedi Credit Boost feature.

    When Credit Boost is combined with autopay, there is added incentive and convenience to being punctual with rent payments. More information about this and other related data can be found in the RentRedi white paper: The Secret Success of Self-Managing Your Rentals.

    Methodology
    For this analysis, as long as one tenant occupying a unit was using autopay at the time of payment, the entire unit is considered to be benefiting from that feature. Payment status categories (on-time, late, and unpaid) are from the same methodology used in the Chandan Economics Independent Landlord Rental Performance Report. Critical features of Chandan Economics’ methodology are:

    • It only includes rent income charges.
    • It only contains charges between $500 and $10,000.
    • It removes units that are inactive for more than two months from the sample.

    About RentRedi

    RentRedi offers an award-winning, comprehensive property management platform that simplifies the renting process for landlords and renters by automating and streamlining processes. For landlords, RentRedi provides all-in-one web and mobile apps to collect rent, list and market vacancies, find and screen tenants, sign leases, and manage maintenance and accounting. For tenants, RentRedi’s easy-to-use mobile app allows them to pay rent, set up auto-pay, build credit by reporting rent payments to major credit agencies, prequalify and sign leases, and submit maintenance requests.

    Founded in 2016, RentRedi is VC-backed and a proven leader in the PropTech market. The company ranks No. 180 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list and No. 12 on the Inc. 5000 Regionals list and was named an Inc. Power Partner, a GetApp Category Leader, a Capterra Established Player, and a G2 High Performer and Momentum Leader based on the software’s user ratings and popularity. To date, RentRedi has more than $28 billion in assets under management with nearly 200,000 landlords and tenants using the platform. The company partners with technology leaders such as Zillow, TransUnion, Experian, Equifax, Realtor.com, Plaid, and Stripe to create the best customer experience possible.

  • MIL-OSI: CORRECTION – Pixability Announces the Launch of GenAI Contextual Segments (GCS) for YouTube to Drive Better Targeting and Outcomes for Advertisers

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a release issued under the same headline on Monday, October 7th by Pixability, there are changes in the text. The corrected release follows:

    Pixability, (http://www.pixability.com), a leader in AI-driven contextual targeting, brand suitability and performance on YouTube and CTV, today announced the launch of GenAI Contextual Segments (GCS), an updated version of its YouTube ad inventory solution, powered by GenAI. The company has video-level data for over 3.6B YouTube videos, more than any other third party, which it uses to build brand suitable, high-performing contextual segments for brands and agencies. As the volume of Pixability’s video data has grown exponentially, it has become more important to use technology in addition to human curation to identify videos that are best suited for an advertiser’s particular audience. The company’s new solution identifies types of content that specific personas have engaged with in the past and uses a GenAI-powered sear34trfch tool to surface content that best aligns with a target audience’s interest.

    “As YouTube’s CTV reach exceeds all other platforms and its shorts content continues to grow across all devices, advertisers have realized they need to get this critical ad platform right” said David George, CEO of Pixability. “At the same time, as the volume of content continues to grow, it’s become more and more challenging for advertisers to feel confident they are reaching their audiences efficiently and effectively. We’re excited to introduce our GCS solution that combines the power of GenAI with our industry leading YouTube contextual data to drive next-level targeting and unlock more value for advertisers on YouTube.”

    The new solution leverages Pixability’s deep YouTube data set in combination with proprietary technology to fuel GenAI Inventory Curation that includes:

    • GenAI-Enhanced Search: Semantic search and large language models (LLM) power a more precise search of YouTube video inventory to identify content that is more relevant than that surfaced by just keyword search. The tool also creates vectorized clusters of content using Pixability’s enriched video-level data set, taking advantage of semantic search to find channels best suited to the advertiser’s audience while allowing the user to turn up or down the relevance of the clusters.
    • Persona Insights Engine: Pixability’s proprietary data from prior YouTube campaigns is used to identify the type of content that specific personas engage with beyond their known topics of interests. For example, a QSR brand targeting GenX men may know that Sports content should be a part of their mix, but may not be aware that the audience also over-indexes for Science and News & Politics content. The new Insights Engine gives advertisers the ability to expand their contextual focus beyond traditional categories to drive better scale and performance.

    GenAI Inventory Curation leverages Pixability’s deep data set of YouTube video data and the largest pool of contextual data in the industry, including suitability data; IAB category data, language data; past ad performance data; and DE&I insights from the company’s Inclusive Media Initiative. Using GenAI Inventory Curation in combination with its proprietary data, Pixability’s GCS solution has already driven success for major brands driving a 49% increase in performance efficiency for a recent YouTube campaign.

    “Finding niche audiences at scale on YouTube is a big challenge for many advertisers,” said Vlad Novikov, Director, Digital Standards at Publicis Media. “Pixability’s GenAI CS addresses this challenge by leveraging the largest relevant data set and GenAI to drive the best possible outcomes on the largest video platform.”

    “We are always looking for the most efficient ways to drive outcomes for brands on YouTube,” said Jeremy Cobb, VP of Digital Platforms at H/L Agency. “The combination of Pixability’s proprietary access to YouTube data and its tech-driven approach has helped us do just that for our automotive and QSR clients. We’re excited about the potential of GCS solution and expect it to make a significant impact on the way advertisers extract value from their YouTube campaigns.”

    “Pixability has always focused their technology solutions on driving not just brand suitability but also performance outcomes on YouTube,” said Jeremy Cornfeldt, President of Tinuiti. “Their new GenAI-powered YouTube inventory solution provides a more precise way to curate the content that is most relevant for an advertisers’ audience to drive a greater impact.”

    About Pixability

    Pixability is the leading AI-driven technology company empowering the world’s largest brands and their agencies to maximize the value of their video advertising on YouTube and CTV. Leveraging its proprietary technology platform and data, Pixability makes every video impression matter by identifying contextually relevant, brand suitable inventory and maximizing cost efficient outcomes.

  • MIL-OSI: Abraxas Power Announces the Submission of the Environmental Assessment Registration for its Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation Green Hydrogen Project in Central Newfoundland

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abraxas Power Corp. (“Abraxas”), a leading energy transition developer, and its subsidiary Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (“EVREC”), are pleased to announce that EVREC has submitted the Environmental Assessment Registration (“EAR”) with the Department of Environment and Climate Change of the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador for its Green Energy Hub project in the Botwood area.

    EVREC is a P2X project that was awarded access to over 300 square kilometres of crown lands by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2023 for EVREC’s use in the development of its project in Central Newfoundland. EVREC will include a 3.5 GW onshore wind project with its associated energy and molecular storage powering behind-the-meter hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3) production. The project expects to generate up to 200,000 tons of green H2 and up to 1,000,000 tons of green NH3 annually that will be exported to global markets.

    Since the above-mentioned land access award, EVREC has significantly advanced the project through pre-construction activities which include environmental data collection, resource measurement, and public consultations. The final project design is subject to these ongoing assessments and activities.

    “Today marks a pivotal milestone for EVREC as we register the Project with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador,” said Colter Eadie, CEO of Abraxas Power. “This project is not just about harnessing the power of natural resources; it’s about developing a strong partnership with our local communities as we transform the future of energy. This initiative will boost Newfoundland’s economy by creating substantial high-skilled job opportunities and fostering economic stability and vibrant, thriving communities.”

    EVREC’s total capital investment is expected to be CAD$12 billion. According to an Economic Impact Assessment published by Jupia Consulting, when combining both CAPEX and OPEX economic activity, the project is expected to:

    • Boost provincial GDP by $7.8 billion over the 34-year life of the project (in $2024), excluding the GDP impacts arising from spending the tax/royalty revenue
    • Contribute $3.1 billion employment income in Newfoundland and Labrador
    • Support 10,900 person years of employment during the four years of construction and over 21,600 over the 34-year operating period
    • Boost annual household spending in NL by over $2.2 billion
    • Contribute $220 million in tax revenue to municipal governments over the 38-year period (CAPEX and OPEX phases). The provincial government will receive an estimated $8 billion and the federal government another $1.6 billion just from the in-province activity.

  • MIL-OSI: OceanFirst Bank Secures $50,000 in Small Business Recovery Grants from Federal Home Loan Bank to Benefit Ten Local Nonprofit Organizations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RED BANK, N.J., Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OceanFirst Bank N.A. (the “Bank” or “OceanFirst”), a subsidiary of OceanFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:OCFC), has helped ten nonprofit organizations in its market area to apply for and obtain Small Business Recovery Grants totaling $50,000 through a program created by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY). The grants are designed to assist eligible organizations who have faced economic challenges due to the rate environment, inflation, supply-chain constraints, or rising energy costs.

    The ten grants awarded this year will assist nonprofit organizations committed to addressing hunger and food insecurity. Nearly one million people in New Jersey are food insecure, a 22% increase over the previous year, according to Feeding America’s annual Map the Meal Gap study. This includes more than 260,000 children –about 1 in 8. Nationwide, the extra amount of money that people facing hunger say they need to have enough food has reached its highest point in the last 20 years.

    “The Small Business Recovery Grant Program is a great opportunity for OceanFirst Bank to help support our local nonprofit partners and the important work they are doing to aid our communities,” said George Destafney, OceanFirst Bank Chief Community Banking Officer. “We are so pleased to be able to assist ten organizations to receive important resources that will benefit our neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Our congratulations and appreciation to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York for another successful Small Business Recovery Grant round.”

    Under the Small Business Recovery Grant Program, banks such as OceanFirst, which are members of the FHLBNY, identify qualified small-business and non-profit customers who are eligible to receive the grant awards.

    OceanFirst Bank facilitated Small Business Recovery Grants of $5,000 for each of the following organizations, for a total of $50,000:  

    “Meals on Wheels is thrilled to receive a $5,000 grant from OceanFirst Bank. This incredible support will help us provide more meals and cover essential expenses, continuing our mission to deliver nutritious meals and positively impact our seniors’ lives,” said Shareka Fitz, Executive Director, Meals on Wheels Greater New Brunswick.

    Gwendolyn Love, Executive Director, Lunch Break, added, “The $5,000 grant from OceanFirst Bank will help ensure efficient kitchen and pantry operations, providing healthy and nutritious meals to food-insecure families and individuals in our community.”

    “Located in the Bronx, a borough with the highest rates of diabetes in the country, the Friendly Fridge BX focuses on rescuing and redirecting healthy foods to share with people from all over the Bronx and Yonkers,” shared Sara Allen, co-founder of Friendly Fridge BX. “With the support of this $5,000 grant from OceanFirst Bank, over 1,800 visitors per week who come in search of healthy food will have access to over 117,000 lbs. of fresh produce over the course of 13 weeks.”

    OceanFirst Bank N.A., a subsidiary of OceanFirst Financial Corp. founded in 1902 is a $13.3 billion regional bank providing financial services throughout New Jersey and the major metropolitan areas between Massachusetts and Virginia.

  • MIL-OSI: Credit Acceptance Named a Top Workplace for Remote Work by Monster

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Southfield, Michigan, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq: CACC) (referred to as the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) has been named to the 2024 list of Top Workplaces for Remote Work by Monster and Energage. This is our first time being recognized on this list, with a #2 ranking out of 54 companies honored in the 500-plus employee-size category. The list celebrates organizations that cultivate exceptional remote working environments based on employee feedback.

    “Building and maintaining a strong remote work culture requires a thoughtful combination of strategic vision, personalized team member support, and meaningful opportunities for in-person connection,” said Wendy Rummler, Credit Acceptance Chief People Officer. “By prioritizing these principles, we’ve created an environment where team members feel valued, engaged, and connected, regardless of physical distance.”

    Credit Acceptance’s remote-first policy is a prime example of the strength of our culture. We permanently adopted the policy in December 2020, after recognizing team members’ satisfaction since its implementation earlier that year. This decision was a significant change in our operations (less than 25 percent of team members worked remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic) and set us apart within our industry.

    The environment is grounded in trust, engaging team members while fostering camaraderie and pride in our mission. As a result of our remote-first policy, we attract and retain top talent across the country who would have otherwise been unavailable, which strengthens our workforce diversity.

    Credit Acceptance is consistently recognized as one of the best places to work by team members. This year, the Company has received three honors from Great Place to Work® and Fortune: we have been ranked 39th in the 100 Best Companies to Work For® (the tenth time we have been included on this list), 50th in the Best Workplaces for Millennials (the eighth time we have been included), and 13th in the 2024 Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance (the tenth time we have been included). In addition, Credit Acceptance has been named a Top Workplaces USA award winner for the fourth consecutive year, a Most Loved Workplace® for 2024 in several categories by the Best Practice Institute, and a Newsweek America’s Top 200 Most Loved Workplace® for 2024, among many others.

    About Credit Acceptance
    We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.  

    Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles, or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.

    About Energage
    Energage is a purpose-driven company that helps organizations turn employee feedback into useful business intelligence and credible employer recognition through Top Workplaces. Built on 18 years of culture research and the results from 27 million employees surveyed across more than 70,000 organizations, Energage delivers the most accurate competitive benchmark available. With access to a unique combination of patented analytic tools and expert guidance, Energage customers lead the competition with an engaged workforce and an opportunity to gain recognition for their people-first approach to culture.
