"Aiera’s machine-learning enabled tools will enable analysts and portfolio managers to efficiently consume and intelligently monitor over 3,500 Asia Pacific investor meeting transcripts; a dataset previously inaccessible to investors."

SCRIPTS Asia also revealed that it has received a strategic investment from Aiera.

AB Electrolux to propose reinstated dividend based on recovery in earnings and cash flow

Leave a comment

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 25, 2020 — After assessing the company’s financial position and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Directors of AB Electrolux has decided to propose a dividend of SEK 7 per share for the fiscal year 2019. Electrolux has seen a substantial recovery in earnings and cash flow during the third quarter, with pent-up demand and government stimulus programs impacting consumer spending patterns and thus driving a positive development in all business areas.

On March 23, 2020, the Board of Directors withdrew its SEK 8.50 per share dividend proposal for the AGM 2020, in light of the then considerable uncertainty relating to the medium-term effects of the pandemic. Since then however, as was communicated in the second quarter report on July 17, market demand has begun to recover. In line with the outlook, demand has remained strong during the third quarter. Electrolux estimates that the negative impact initially seen related to the pandemic will largely be recovered in the operating profit for the nine-month period ending September 30, including a strong improvement in cash flow. Looking into the fourth quarter, visibility remains limited as demand may be impacted by several factors – both positive and negative – but at present, Electrolux anticipates financial performance to gradually normalize.

The Board of Directors therefore has concluded that a dividend can be proposed without jeopardizing Electrolux financial position. It will call for an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 3, 2020, to decide on a proposal for a dividend for the fiscal year 2019 of SEK 7 per share, to be paid in one installment. The Board will also propose that a performance based long-term share program for 2020 is implemented in line with its original proposal for the AGM 2020.

The Extraordinary General Meeting will also decide on a proposal from the Board of Directors to include a possibility in the Articles of Association to allow voting by post and to collect proxies before general meetings. Further details regarding the Extraordinary General Meeting will be provided shortly in a separate notice for the meeting.

Electrolux report for the third quarter of 2020 will be published on October 23, 2020 at about 0800 CET. The company will then provide an updated market and business outlook for the full year 2020.

This is information that AB Electrolux is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 0830 CET on September 25, 2020

Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones Now Available

Leave a comment

Pre-built tools automate threat response and quickly and efficiently reduce customers’ cloud security risk at no additional cost

Oracle Cloud Guard continuously monitors configurations and activities to identify threats and automatically remediates them across all Oracle Cloud global regions

Industry-first Oracle Maximum Security Zones deploys security best practices from day one and automatically maintains a strong security posture for customers’ most important data

REDWOOD SHORES, California, Sept. 25, 2020 — Today Oracle announced the availability of Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones. With Oracle Maximum Security Zones, Oracle is the first public cloud provider to activate security policy enforcement of best practices automatically from day one so customers can prevent misconfiguration errors and deploy workloads securely. For day-to-day operations, Oracle Cloud Guard continuously monitors configurations and activities to identify threats and automatically acts to remediate them across all Oracle Cloud global regions. With these capabilities, Oracle is the only cloud service provider to offer a cloud security posture management dashboard at no additional cost, with numerous pre-built tools that automate response to reduce customer risk quickly and efficiently. Get started here.

Companies are moving more business-critical workloads to the cloud than ever before. The increase in cloud adoption has created new security "blind spots" that have contributed to more than 200 breaches over the past two years, exposing more than 30 billion records1. Gartner forecasts that "through 2025, 99 percent of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault2." Cloud users and administrators are now expected to know how cloud security services work, configure them correctly, and maintain their cloud deployments. Organizations that have experienced data breaches due to misconfigurations have suffered brand damage, recovery costs and fines. Oracle Maximum Security Zones and Oracle Cloud Guard embed decades of enterprise security expertise and best practices into the Oracle public cloud in an autonomous fashion, accelerating customers’ ability to ramp up to their cloud estate securely from inception.

"Security has been a critical design consideration across Oracle Cloud for years. We believe security should be foundational and built in, and customers shouldn’t be forced to make tradeoffs between security and cost," said Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones’ security automation and embedded expertise, customers can feel confident running their business-critical workloads on Oracle Cloud."

Now available in all Oracle Cloud commercial regions, Oracle Cloud Guard acts as a log and events aggregator that directly integrates with all major Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services—Compute, Networking, Storage—and automatically implements unique components called targets, detectors, and responders. Targets set the scope of resources to be examined, such as compartments and their descendent structures within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Detectors identify issues with resources or user actions and alert when an issue is found, such as a TOR login or public bucket. Responders provide notifications and corrective actions to security problems by automatically stopping the instance, suspending the user, or disabling the bucket. As a result, Oracle Cloud Guard provides security administrators the cloud detect-and-response framework needed to lower the mean time to respond to security misconfigurations and scale out security operations centers.

Oracle Maximum Security Zones extends IaaS access management to restrict insecure actions or configurations using a new policy definition that applies to designated cloud compartments. This new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service helps ensure resources are secure from inception by enforcing rigorous security best practices for highly sensitive workloads. Oracle Maximum Security Zones includes policies for several core Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services, including Object Storage, Networking, Encryption, DBaaS, and File Storage.

These new services work in tandem to further Oracle’s second-generation public cloud, which is built with security as a critical foundation. Oracle Cloud is distinguished for bedrock design primitives, including high customer isolation, clean host hardware, default encryption, no downtime patching, and sophisticated data protection.

"As workloads transition to the cloud, organizations are looking for a supplier where security technology is designed-in throughout the complete hardware/software stack," said Jay Bretzmann, program director, IDC cybersecurity research. "Oracle’s new cloud security services will help automate and simplify the management of increasingly critical applications with painfully stringent security and compliance requirements that, until lately, few imagined would ever migrate off premises."

Customers Adopt New Built-in Security Services
Accenture is one of the largest consulting companies in the world, employing about 500,000 people worldwide. "Accelerating the path to value is our key focus area, and Oracle technology and Oracle Cloud is a key factor to deliver on that. We were immediately impressed with Oracle Cloud Guard—the set-up, ease of use, and immediate results about potential misconfigurations," said Chris Pasternak, managing director, Accenture. "We appreciate the fact that this capability is available at no cost above the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure investment. It further solidifies the conversations I have with my clients about how Oracle builds Oracle Cloud with security in mind first; Oracle Cloud Guard is a great example of how Oracle continues that heritage."
