well first off the microphone stand works great with my AT2020 XLR. plus it is way better than my old one it would bang if you tried to move it in front of you. but this one much more sturdy than old with the mini clamp but with this one, the octagon holder works so much better and it has a headphone holder and a cable holder plus it does not come with an xlr cable
D-Link A/NZ launches Nuclias Cloud Managed Network Solution hosted in Australia
Feature-rich cloud-managed Networking Solution designed for MSPs
SYDNEY, 7 May 2020 – D-Link A/NZ has launched Nuclias Cloud, its new cloud-managed networking solution developed specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) which will enable them to help small businesses through to very large enterprises remotely set up, configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and manage their customer’s network infrastructure, including Wi-Fi Access Points and Network Switches, across multiple sites anytime, anywhere.
Nuclias Cloud is available to MSPs on a month-to-month basis with no lock-in contract, unlike most other solutions in this space. In addition, to help MSPs during these challenging COVID-19 times, D-Link A/NZ has suspended all monthly billing for both new and existing Nuclias Cloud MSPs for at least Q2 2020.
Key benefits of Nuclias Cloud for MSPs:-
· Regular revenue stream: Nuclias Cloud is a service platform that allows MSPs to bill their customers in the fashion that they prefer whether upfront, monthly, annually or whichever combination they prefer. MSPs are charged monthly for usage in arrears only, versus competitors’ long-term contracts, freeing up cash flow that can otherwise be put to good use.
· Month-to-month pricing: No lock-in contracts, and easy to manage cash flow forecasts
· Lower overheads: Easy to install, Nuclias Cloud can easily be managed remotely online
· Elevate your offering: Nuclias Cloud proactively enables you to offer a better service
· Reliability and reputation: Nuclias Cloud offers high-performance access points and cloud-managed switches which are managed by a centralized cloud-based control system, deployed on over 50,000 cloud-managed customer networks around the world
· Fewer cost variables and competitively priced: Nuclias Cloud has no long-term costs, no hidden extras, and no additional license fees which make for predictable cost management
· Easy to implement, maintain, and grow: Easy for the customer or the MSP to grow and expand with linear fixed costs.
D-Link ANZ Managing Director, Graeme Reardon said, “MSPs need a powerful and scalable solution with which they can manage their customer’s networks from a single pane of glass, and Nuclias Cloud provides exactly that. With the flexibility of no lock-in contracts, local stock, zero-touch provisioning and an intuitive, scalable dashboard that provides the MSP a view across their entire customer network, all whilst being hosted locally in Australia, Nuclias Cloud provides MSPs with a simple choice – Pay multi-year licensing fees upfront out of their own cash flow to their existing vendors, or investigate a move to a clean-sheet designed cloud solution that has been successfully deployed in some of the largest telcos in the world, giving them the flexibility that MSPs deserve.”
A significant number of MSPs have already chosen to use and resell the Nuclias Cloud Management solution in Australia due to this flexibility, ease of scalability and simple, but compelling, resale benefits.
With Nuclias Cloud’s inherent zero-touch provisioning and scalable architecture, MSPs can easily deploy and streamline networks to support an unlimited number of devices across multiple sites. Once set up, administrators can manage the network from the online portal or dedicated App, using either or both to capture and analyze advanced traffic reports and real-time insights into every connected device.
Additional features include secure role-based administration system, auditable change logs, authentication via captive portal, 802.1x, RADIUS server, automated network monitoring, and Facebook and Google login support for guest Wi-Fi access.
The Nuclias Cloud range of hardware solutions has been extended to include high-performance Gigabit smart-managed switches with optional PoE and fiber connectivity as well as Wi-Fi Access Points featuring MU-MIMO, PoE support, and up to 3×3 concurrent dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. D-Link cameras and routers will also become part of the Nuclias Cloud solution in 2020.

Nuclias Cloud is available now in Australia and New Zealand.

Avast survey reveals nearly half of Australians at risk of falling for phishing scam
Respondents have trouble identifying real NAB website when compared to a fake
Avast (LSE: AVST), a global leader in online security products, conducted a survey which positioned a true image of the National Australia Bank (NAB) website alongside a screenshot of a real-world phishing version of the page. Respondents were then asked which version they thought was real. Almost half (46.4 percent) chose the phishing version, while 53.6 percent chose the screenshot of the real login page.

Additionally, Avast asked respondents if they have fallen victim to a phishing scam themselves, with 15.3 percent admitting that they had, 67.2 percent saying that they had not, and a further 17.4 percent unsure.
Of those 15 percent who had fallen for phishing scams in the past:
61.3 percent had been a victim of email phishing
31.3 percent had visited a phishing website
21.3 percent had fallen for smishing (SMS phishing)
32.5 percent had fallen for telephone phishing
The research indicates that many of these victims had been fallen to more than one attack.
“Phishing continues to be one of the leading attack methods because it allows cybercriminals to target people at scale, using social engineering, which is a tactic used to trick people into carrying out certain actions. Cybercriminals use social engineering to take advantage of typical human behaviour, as it is easier to trick a person than to hack into a system. In October 2019, we blocked 370,338 phishing attempts targeting 63,577 of our Australian users,” said Michal Salat, Director of Threat Intelligence at Avast. “Phishing can come in many forms, including over the phone, via messages such as SMS, and even in person. However, the most common form of phishing is online, via phishing links. Phishing links leading to malicious websites can be delivered in emails that appear to come from legitimate sources. They can also be attached to messages sent on social networking sites and apps, like Facebook and WhatsApp, and they can even misleadingly appear in search engine results.”
Tips to avoid phishing
● First and foremost, install an antivirus solution on all devices, whether PC, mobile, or Mac. Antivirus software acts as a safety net, protecting online users.
● Do not click on links or download files from suspicious emails. Avoid replying to them, as well, even if they allegedly came from someone trusted. Instead, contact those entities through a separate channel and ensure that the message actually came from them.
● Directly enter a website’s URL into the browser whenever possible, to visit the site intended site, rather than a phony version.
● Do not solely rely on the green HTTPS padlock in the browser URL bar. While this signifies that the connection is encrypted, the site could still be fake. According to Avast data, six out of ten phishing sites are encrypted to further deceive users, so it’s important to double check that the site visited is the real deal.
Survey conducted online, among 1045 Avast users in Australia from November 13 to November 20, 2019.
