WebMarshal Unsupported Versions

This solution was the go-to web filtering tool across New Zealand a few years ago, and while many end users still maintain their subscriptions they may not be on the latest version of the software. Due to a PCI compliance initiative at the current vendor, Trustwave, automatic updates to the Web Filter database and TRACEnet will cease for unsupported versions on 1 February 2018. Customers with valid maintenance can freely upgrade to a supported version (6.12.3 or 7.0) from the product upgrade page.

Robust Physical Security with Leading Solutions

If you have a retail customer in need of such an offering contact the Soft Solutions Sales Team for more information.

Most Blue Whales are ‘right-handed’, except when they’re not

A study on Blue Whales released in “Current Biology” has found that most Whales tend to favour rolling to their right when feeding in deep water. However, when observed in shallow water or closer to the surface the Whales would suddenly switch to rolling to their left to feed. Most vertebrates rely on one dominant side of their body to perform certain tasks. This lateralization allows animals (and humans) to be more efficient at these tasks. The reserchers theorise that the switch from rolling to their right to rolling to the left is due to the Whales relying on their dominant right eye to track their food which is harder to spot and less dense closer to the surface. You can read more about the results here.
