Tekkwi, a new rideshare app, is about to launch in Jamaica. Initially, the project is limited to three cities including Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. Demands for rideshare facility in Jamaica had been rising from many years, but they were never fulfilled until now. Jamaica has 3 million residents and approximately 3 million annual visitors. Hence rideshare facility is necessary here. The residents and visitors can follow Tekkwi on Instagram to get 20% off on all their rides for a limited time. Tekkwi is coming with a plan to reinvent the rideshare industry, as other rideshare operators, such as Uber and Lyft have already refrained to operate in the Caribbean. Tekkwi will connect the Caribbeans by offering rides at any time.

The rideshare industry is dominated by large companies like Uber and Lyft and every small and medium-size company is trying to imitate them. But Tekkwi will do the opposite and will make its position in the industry without following the footsteps of others. Tekkwi is going to provide Rideshare in Jamaica very soon to attract quality consumers to the drivers. The foundation of Tekkwi would be made of experienced and great drivers. They will receive a higher commission structure than other drivers who drive for Uber and Lyft.

Consumers could book Tekkwi rideshare on their smartphones, laptops, and tablets after downloading the Tekkwi application. The company has an advanced connection with satellite technology which would enable setting or pinning exact location to let your driver know about your location. The project is limited to three cities initially. Soon it would expand in all Carribean cities.

CDN Security: Protecting Your Content and Users

Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and can cause companies severe disruption and financial loss. On average, IT outages cost companies $5,600 per minute. That’s why providing layered cloud protection is essential to improve organizations’ security. The CDN service guarantees such protection, so today, we will delve into what it is and what advantages it provides to users and organizations.

What is CDN security?

The main task of a CDN is to speed up page loading and improve website performance. Along with that, CDN also helps improve security. CDNs are content delivery networks comprising geographically distributed servers connected and optimized through private global networks. This allows the CDN to avoid overloading ISPs and public networks.

The technology is based on caching, where copies of the content are stored on different data processing servers and local caching servers worldwide. Content is served from edge servers closer to users than from the origin server. This is how technology ensures fast, reliable, and secure content delivery. Almost every popular service you use currently uses such solutions: from Netflix and YouTube to online game providers, large e-commerce companies, and government and public institutions.

How does a CDN improve the security of a website and its users?

A content delivery network uses reverse proxy technology to place its servers in front of websites at the network’s edge. This allows CDNs to prevent threats such as DDoS attacks before they even reach a website. In addition, a CDN can balance the load by efficiently distributing traffic between servers, which helps avoid congestion. It also sits at the network’s edge, filtering threats before they reach a website.

How to choose reliable CDN protection?

It’s worth using an integrated, intelligent CDN security solution, and this is precisely what GCore offers its customers. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the following points:

The service must include advanced threat detection capabilities, such as sophisticated bot attacks, malware, and layer 7 DDoS attacks.
A CDN must provide encryption to protect against network failures and other threats.
Evaluate your network size and security infrastructure to select the optimal service package.
Give preference to solutions compatible with the SSL certificates used.

Integrated, intelligent CDN security solutions with analytics and reporting are among the services the GCore team offers. Take care of your online security with GCore before cyber threats become a real problem rather than a potential one.
