Asguard Underwear Rebranded

The Asguard clothing brand announced a new logo, riding the heels of the marketing buzz generated by Tempered’s new website. “We’re still getting customer traffic from the old Asguard.com site, and wanted to align with the modern look,” commented director of assguard marketing.

The underwear company will be the first of its kind to launch a website with the .io domain Asguard.io. “We like the new website, the new logo and colors, but due to the nature of our product, we will not be adopting an ‘invisible’ theme,” said the director.

Developer’s Dusting Towel Inspired the Yellow Rebrand

Tempered’s bold new yellow color began in product development. “I was walking by Platforms Row, pondering what a bold new logo should look like, looked up and saw this yellow towel,” explains marketing consultant Brad Riley, “and I thought: perfect. This is the perfect color scheme to boost our brand.” The color grabs attention, evoking cheery and warm responses. The towel is reportedly used for regularly dusting LCD monitors and keyboards.

Multi Multi Factor Authentication Added

The Conductor Team added a new multi multi factor authentication mechanism for Conductor logins. “Multi multi factor authentication works by asking the user for something they know, like a password, along with something they have, like a text code from a phone, combined with something you are -- like a facial scan or fingerprint, combined with something you want or aspire to be,” explained the developer demoing this feature last Friday.

Conductor Replaces Slack With New Online AirChat Feature

Tempered has rolled out a new Conductor-based “AirChat” chat feature last Thursday. The company-wide change will save subscription costs as Slack is sunset, and allow employees to dog-food new product changes. AirChat offers automation with Conductor, such as systems notifications, slash-based commands for modifying policies and group membership, and querying for specific Airwall reporting graphs. As a communication tool, AirChat offers channels, tagging, file transfer, emojis, and giphys typical of today’s chat programs.

Dustwall: Secure Robotic Vacuum

Tempered partnered with a Taiwanese robotic vacuum manufacturer to release the world’s first Dustwall SRV (Secure Robotic Vacuum). The vacuum runs embedded Linux featuring an Airwall Agent, enabling secure mobile communication when controlled via the Airwall Agent smartphone app. “Consumers no longer need to worry about their WiFi-enabled vacuums being taken over, or listening in on their conversations,” said product manager Chris Blomidon. “The SRV market is potentially a $100 million dollar industry.”

ShowDan Tool Shows Dan Your Bugs

An Operations intern launched an internal ShowDan tool for automatically capturing key metrics and filing bug reports, to streamline details shared with the Test Team. The tool is capable of discovering which Airwalls are connected to the office network, where they are located, and whether or not they have experienced any exceptions or crashes recently. JIRA tickets are more uniformly defined, with appropriate labels, components, severity, and versioning, when generated using the tool.
