XM Cyber Recognized by Frost & Sullivan for Enabling a Single View of Security Risks Across the Hybrid Environment in Real Time and Providing Customer Value

XM Cyber offers various use cases, including third-party risk management, vulnerability prioritization, business risk profiling and management, digital transformation, and proactive cyber defense.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan recently researched the global breach and attack simulation market and, based on its findings, recognizes XM Cyber with the 2022 Global Customer Value Leadership Award for its breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform. The company enables organizations to monitor risks continuously and provide the cyber adversary’s perspective. The leading attack path management vendor provides security teams with visibility on all hidden attack paths that lead to critical assets. The company is positioned as a hybrid cloud security provider that leverages attack path management to provide a holistic view of risks across the hybrid environment in real time.

2022 Global Breach and Attack Simulation Customer Value Leadership Award

XM Cyber’s Attack Path Management platform is a hybrid cloud security software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. The platform analyzes exposures and provides an accurate view of various attack paths across the client organization. In addition, the platform provides comprehensive visibility across the enterprise continuously and safely and identifies critical assets’ choke points, which are the key junctures in an attack path that lead a cyber adversary to a critical asset. Rather than fixing all security issues leading to a critical asset, security teams can fix the choke point and protect the asset. The platform, therefore, shows security teams the smallest number of actions to reduce risks significantly, thus improving the team’s efficiency.

According to Swetha Krishnamoorthi, Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst, “XM Cyber has a fast turnaround with regards to improving the cyber posture of organizations. For instance, in one customer environment, XM Cyber reduced the percentage of assets that could be compromised in a hybrid infrastructure from 93% to 7% in less than three months.”

XM Cyber combines its attack path management capabilities with continuous controls monitoring capabilities following its acquisition of Cyber Observer earlier this year, to provide continuous visibility of security control gaps. The integrated platform offers automated compliance validation and reporting for key standards, such as NIST, GDPR, and SWIFT CSCF. In addition, the company leverages customer satisfaction, strategic partnerships, customer testimonials, and exceptional customer service to offer value and drive stellar growth.

“XM Cyber works closely with customers to continuously release features and capabilities that enable security teams to proactively identify and fix security issues in an efficient and effective way. The company has consistently demonstrated financial and operational excellence, harnessing its superior product and customer support capabilities,” added Krishnamoorthi. With its strong overall performance, XM Cyber earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2022 Global Customer Value Leadership Award in the breach and attack simulation market.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers, with a focus on improving the return on investment that customers make in its services or products. The award recognizes the company’s unique focus on augmenting the value that its customers receive, beyond simply providing good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and customer base expansion.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analyses, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

LG HOSTS EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE SERIES SHOWCASING THE BEST OF CONTEMPORARY ARTS

On Behalf of Premium Brand LG SIGNATURE, LG Introduces Immersive Performances at the LG Arts Center SEOUL

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) brought together the world of art and technology with its ultra-premium brand, LG SIGNATURE, sponsoring two immersive performances at the LG Arts Center SEOUL in South Korea last week.

One of the most sought-after performances in the Center’s opening festival, the series introduced Korean audiences to Yoann Bourgeois, renowned artistic director-choreographer and performance artist, for the first time. The performance series well marks LG’s time-old commitment to the cultivation of the arts beginning from the operation of the LG Arts Center SEOUL.

After 22 years of operation, the LG Arts Center SEOUL re-opened its doors again to the public in October in a building designed by Japanese architectural virtuoso Tadao Ando. A testimony to LG’s devotion to the arts, the relocated Center boasts a spacious, new performance venue, the LG SIGNATURE Hall. The remarkable space has seating for 1,335 and is home to special performing arts programs from all over the world, including the Yoann Bourgeois series.

Introduced to South Korea for the first time, Bourgeois, who has a diverse background that includes circus training, is a major figure in the global contemporary performing arts scene. His riveting performances celebrate the beauty of physical movement, blurring the boundary between acrobatics and dance and revealing a truly unique creative vision. Bourgeois’s artistry and innovative approach to his craft echo the philosophy of LG SIGNATURE, a brand whose home appliances seamlessly unite the best of art and technology.

Proudly sponsored by LG on behalf of the LG SIGNATURE brand, the inspiring He Who Falls was performed by the National Choreographic Center of Grenoble under Bourgeois’s direction, with the late Frank Sinatra’s signature song, My Way, accompanying the dynamic movements of the performers. Opening 2, a short yet equally mesmerizing work, introduced audiences to the grace, power and presence that Bourgeois so effortlessly brings to the stage. As a part of LG SIGNATURE’s extensive customer experiences, select customers and clients were invited to attend both performances.

During the Yoann Bourgeois series, visitors to LG Arts Center SEOUL were treated to an opportunity to enjoy the exclusive pop-up LG SIGNATURE exhibition and photo zone located in the LG SIGNATURE Hall lobby. Echoing the unique architectural design philosophy of Tadao Ando, the exhibition zone offered a glimpse into the best of LG SIGNATURE’s innovations, such as the Wine Cellar, InstaView Door-in-Door Refrigerator and OLED R TV.

Chinese expert: New methodology lays groundwork for high-quality think tank development

BEIJING, Nov. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by China.org.cn on a new approach to think tank research known as double helix methodology.

This fall, “Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences” (BCAS, in Chinese) journal discussed the status of Chinese think tanks and a new approach to think tank research known as double helix methodology in an exclusive interview with Professor Pan Jiaofeng, president of the Institutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASISD).

“The establishment of new think tanks with Chinese characteristics does not have a long history,” Pan noted. “We have needed to push forward with methodology innovation in order to promote the evolution from specialization to scientification with regard to their development trajectory.”

Think tanks have been emerging rapidly in China in the last decade and have been entering a new stage of growth in recent years. The number of specialized think tanks in China currently ranks among the top in the world, and its pool of full-time researchers and specialized research teams continues to expand.

“There is urgent demand for think tanks to serve as bridges, links, and networks that help foresee global development trends, address major challenges faced by all of humanity, and build a community with a shared future for mankind,” Pan commented after observing that the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century.

“Many think tanks have been facing major urgent challenges, however, mostly due to a lack of understanding of the essence of think tank research and an absence of a system of theory,” he stated. “Valuing research techniques designed to help solve specific problems and enhance scientificity, more and more well-known think tanks in the world have developed a variety of innovative quantitative and qualitative methods.”

“Think tanks are more highly valued, have been playing an increasingly important role in Chinese society, and have entered a new stage of high-quality development [in recent years],” Pan continued.

The CASISD president mentioned that the new approaches that have emerged in recent years, such as the double helix methodology that he and his team first proposed in 2020, have made it possible “to unravel think tank problems and for think tanks to better engage in scientification and advance towards disciplinization amidst the formation of think tank science and engineering.”

Like a strand of DNA, the double helix methodological system put forth by Pan’s team features two main interconnected components –an integrated model concerned with data, information, intelligence, and solutions (DIIS) and one covering mechanisms, impact, policy and solutions (MIPS). The model includes an internal process consisting of the interaction between DIIS and MIPS and an external process comprising decomposition, fusion and restoration.

“Interdisciplinarity, interconnectedness, innovation, uncertainty, policy practicability, and social impact are six key aspects of the evolution of think tanks and their research,” he emphasized. “They are typical convergence problems and are related to our original reasons for developing double helix methodology.”

The trailblazer stated that he and his team have participated in pilot construction of high-end Chinese think tanks that utilize double helix methodology and that they formulated more-in-depth problem-, evidence-, and science-oriented DIIS methodology in order to address think tank problems after summarizing the experience that was gained and abstracting essential standardized research processes.

Published in 2021, the English version of Pan’s book “DIIS Theory and Methodology in Think Tanks” elaborates on the DIIS aspect of the framework, explaining that it aims to improve the scientificity, efficacy, and reliability of think tank research results, facilitate systematic theoretical analysis, and promote think tank development.

“To put it simply, consisting of a four-part research paradigm that can be used by think tanks comprised of an external process, an internal process, 10 key issues, and methods and tools for addressing them, double helix methodology starts with the study of a problem and ends with solutions,” he summarized. “Such a complete methodology makes it possible to integrate scientificity into the orientation, philosophy, process, and logic of think tank research.”

“The 10 key issues are decomposition of the think tank problem, the scenario analysis driven by think tank problem, the uncertainty analysis of think tank problem research, the policy simulation analysis of think tank problem research, the circulative iteration of think tank research, the coupling relationship between DIIS and MIPS, the expert organization and management of think tank research, the human-machine combination think tank research support system, the combination of objective analysis and subjective judgment, and the think tank product quality management,” Pan added.

“Constituting a complete knowledge system integrating knowledge and action and social and natural sciences and advancing with the times, the mature research tools and methods that we have developed have endowed CASISD with unique competitive advantages,” he elaborated. “The tools and methods will enable think tanks to help modernize the national governance system and enhance governance capacity and will become an indispensable force serving the progress of human civilization. Looking forward, think tank science and engineering should pursue and refine appropriate tools and research methods and theory and ideology and adapt to various application scenarios and research areas.”

Pan concluded: “We have paid special attention to social phenomena associated with issues in the real world in order to achieve the integration of theory and practice when conducting research. We should also strengthen international cooperation and exchange with regard to think tank research so as to jointly put forward solutions that promote the development of the world, overall prosperity, and the progress of civilization.”

  • Two special vacuum cleaner heads are also included for daily use that can be used to suck up pet hair from carpets, difficult to reach sofa nooks, as well as floors of all types.
  • The low noise design means the vacuum is a silent 60 decibels with three adjustable suction levels to choose from which ensure pets are calm and relaxed during grooming.

Terry Zhang, Founder of Oneisall, said, “An eternal worry and constant irritation for pet owners have always been their pet’s hair and fur getting everywhere in the home, not to mention the difficulty faced when attempting to do the job of grooming their pets themselves. We are confident that our innovative pet grooming kit with an added vacuum will allow every pet owner to reduce the hassle they have with keeping their pets looking great. After 18 months of development and testing, the Oneisall 7-in-1 Pet Grooming Vacuum Kit was born which I believe represents a significant breakthrough for the pet grooming industry. We hope that it can create an even stronger bond between families and their furry friends.”
