IRVINE, Calif., March 8, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Alvaka, a global provider of cybersecurity defense, remediation, and recovery solutions, announces it has been selected by Allied Public Risk, LLC (APR) to provide critical software patching services for water-related entities seeking cyber coverage via the CalMutuals JPRIMA program underwritten by Lloyd’s of London.
“We are thrilled to have participated in the complex process of creating this affordable and easy-to-understand program,” said Kevin McDonald, CISO and COO of Alvaka. The program launched earlier this year and is fully operational. “Our partnership with Alvaka, CalMutuals JPRIMA, and Lloyd’s of London is intended to provide insureds with safe, reliable, and trusted cybersecurity solutions,” said Paul Fuller, CEO of APR and Lloyd’s of London Coverholder. Fuller added, “This partnership has restored confidence and stability within the water sector.”
“It is heartening to have been selected as the quality of service required to get the coverage. We have spent decades perfecting the reach, quality, and reliability of our critical patching services. This is a wonderful validation and opportunity to help secure this critical infrastructure sector,” said Len Tateyama, Director of Engineering at Alvaka.
“Water-related entities are finding it difficult to get any, no less affordable, cybersecurity coverage,” said Susan Allen, CEO of CalMutuals JPRIMA. “This program is designed to help increase cyber liability insurance quality, affordability, and availability for our members. Furthermore, by selecting Alvaka as the go-to partner for patching of critical systems, we are helping guide members to trusted solutions,” Allen continued.
Alvaka has a proven track record of delivering high-quality cybersecurity solutions to customers across multiple industries. Alvaka is well equipped to meet the unique needs of the water sector. “It’s true serendipity that the White House announced a more aggressive approach to National Cybersecurity Policy, with heavy emphasis on water and other critical infrastructure this past week. The partners in this program understand the critical nature of our work. We are ready to lead in securing our most precious resources,” said Kevin McDonald. “There is much to do but we see this program and the new government thinking as a great step forward in protecting water and recycled water services,” McDonald continued.
The company’s critical patching services will help customers stay ahead of the curve and protect against the latest cyber threats. In addition to critical patching services, Alvaka will be working closely with CalMutuals JPRIMA to provide cyber outreach and education throughout California.
The selection of Alvaka is a testament to its proven track record and commitment to providing the highest level of service for its clients. This is a significant step forward in the company’s mission to help organizations protect themselves against the ever-evolving threat of cyber-attacks.

Managing Director of Business Intelligence Firm to Address Why Organizations Are Communicating More But Less Effectively, Hurting Productivity, Morale and Revenue
NEW YORK, March 8, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
In the post-pandemic, hybrid-work world, business teams are spending more time communicating but doing it less effectively. That research finding, and the reasons for it, will be the subject of a talk at the SXSW Conference with Abbey Lunney, Managing Director of The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice.
Lunney will be part of a panel discussion titled “The Path to Productivity, Performance, and Profit through Business Communication,” at 3 p.m. Friday, March 10, at conference venue Central City Brewing. The panel is part of a day-long series presented by Grammarly, developer of AI-enabled communication assistance for individuals and organizations.
Lunney will be joined on the panel by Grammarly’s Kelly MacDougal to discuss the “2023 State of Business Communication Report,” produced by Grammarly and The Harris Poll.
The study’s central finding is that communicating effectively at work is a growing challenge for U.S. businesses and employees. It examines the deepening effects of poor communication on everything from productivity to stress, confidence, and job satisfaction.
“We know that effective communication is essential to business success, and even more crucial than ever as businesses try to navigate today’s market pressures just as workplaces undergo fundamental transformation,” Lunney said. “Our analysis shows we’re communicating more than ever across multiple channels — but that communication is becoming less and less effective.”
For example, the study finds that employees spent 18% more time year-over-year (YoY) communicating in writing, and that both workers and leaders are using communication channels that are not in real time. However, leaders report a 12% drop in the effectiveness of written communication over the same period — and a 15% decrease in productivity as a result.
Among the study’s other detailed findings:
The Grammarly report also provides several recommendations to resolve business communication problems, including recognizing that effective communication drives revenues; prioritizing tone and quality of communications to make collaboration more productive; and rethinking investments in communication tools and platforms.
If you are interested in an in-depth discussion about these results, join Abbey Lunney and the Grammarly team at SXSW on March 10 at the Central District Brewery or — for those of you not attending SXSW this year — sign up for a live webinar March 22 (register here).
