Gigastone iPhone Flash Drives Protect iPhone & iPad Data from Hackers & DDOS Attacks Gigastone, the Leading Global Mobile Technology Accessory Brand, announced its Apple iOS Flash Drives and Micro SD Card Readers, available for purchase at leading big-box stores and online, can be effectively used to secure your personal data from online hackers and DDoS attacks. iPhone and iPad users may be afraid their data is not secure, after the prolifer- ation of hacking attacks in past months. Dyn, a company that routes internet traf- fic, sustained a massive cyber attack which prevented Twitter, Spotify, Netfix, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit and Paypal users from accessing the sites. This is especially alarming for the general public who are storing all their information in the cloud. In the event that cloud storage solutions are rendered inaccessible, data cannot be retrieved. Harold Katz, Gigastone Chief Marketing Officer, commented, "As a result of the limited memory capacity of iPhones and iPads, users are already faced with having to store much of their data offline in the cloud. In a situation where the cloud services are not avail- able, their data is no longer accessible. The best way to prevent this would be to backup and store critical information on external memory." He went on to say, "Gigastone has the largest range of iOS flash drives, giving Apple iPhone and iPad users the means to backup their devices in the event that their cloud based storage is not available." The Gigastone iOS Flash Drive come in a number of configurations to meet the needs of the Apple iPhone and iPad user. The Gigastone iFlashDrive software allows users to: backup iPhone data from your device to the external memory of the Gigastone iPhone flash drives; backup can be done automatically; iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox and Facebook Album data can be moved to the external Gigastone IOs flash drive; the data is secured by touch ID security and/or encryption; all photos, movies and data is accessible from the iPhone or iPad without having to move the data from the external iOS flash drive to an iDevice; and the Gigastone iOS flash drives have both Lightning and USB adapters or removable MicroSD cards, so backed up data can easily be moved to any computer without the need for the iDevice; and data can also be copied from a computer to the iOS flash drive and accessed from an iPhone or iPad. Gigastone President Michel Hassan recapped by commenting, "With our technology, iPhone and iPad users are liberated from cloud-based only storage. They can sleep easily, knowing their data is offline and backed up onto external memory not linked to the internet." Gigastone iOS flash drives are avail- able through all the major big-box stores and online retailers.

Realize Immediate Results in Labor Efficiency through Cash Automation By Jackie Kuehl, Vice President Product Marketing, Retail and Gaming, Glory Global Solutions North America Cash has always been a primary payment instrument for retailers in the gaming industry, and it will continue to be for years to come. Managing this cash is costly to process and to secure. It can require expensive armored services to move it from point 'A' to point 'B' as well as significant staff resources. Indeed, staff can spend hours counting and balancing cash drawers throughout the day, or reconciling books at the end of a shift. It is therefore no surprise that gaming enterprises are looking to auto- mate these processes with cash handling solutions from companies like Glory Global Solutions. Casinos are typically using new cash automation solutions in the cage to correct three main problems: a rise in labor costs, a sluggish cash flow and the time it takes employees to check wallets. Many come to the realization that deploying a cash recycler solves these ongoing problems. The cash recycler automates transactions, stores and dispenses money and is an essential element to free staff from secur- ing, counting and authenticating cash. The Case for Cash Automation As a first time user of cash recycling, the controller at a national casino determined that nearly 15 to 20 hours a day were spent making wallets or processing returned wallets. With these numbers as a back- drop, he knew considering a Glory solu- tion could help his casino significantly. Glory Global Solutions rec- ommended a CI-300 cash recy- cling system to test at several locations; the results from this implementation have been imme- diate and striking. "By my estimates, we spend on average one hour per day on the recycler, versus 15 to 20 if we weren't using a recycler," said the controller. "Everyone loves it. It makes their jobs easier and quicker. It's been a very popu- lar system and is working very well." Other benefits of the machines were the ability for employees to acquire more coin, break bills, fewer opportunities for error and with estimated labor and effi- ciency savings, the investment paid for itself in a little over one year. Through the implementation of cash management solutions tailored specifi- cally for the gaming sector, Glory enables customers to efficiently manage cash while increasing staff productivity and improving overall business perform- ance. With Glory technology automating the start of day and end of day cash set-up and balancing routines, reducing repetitive jour- neys to the bank branch and refo- cusing staff activities, a new and significantly more dynamic operat- ing model is created. It's no wonder we often hear from gaming customers that their employees love Glory Solutions, as it makes their job easier and faster. At Glory, innovation is at the heart of what we do. We bring real innovation to our customers through technology, process and our people. Through our innovation, we fundamentally change the way cash moves across operations, how teams work, how customers are engaged and the ways in which businesses con- nect their cash management systems and processes.
