In the e.GO brand stores, visitors can experience the vehicles personally up close and get acquainted with e.GO’s disruptive production technology, unique design elements and its smart features. Customers can also do test drives and order the vehicle directly. The company plans the opening of its new brand stores in other cities in Europe with Milan, Athens and Dubai on the way.

Alongside the start of the company’s global campaign "The Time Is Now", the brand store openings mark another important milestone in e.GO’s journey to accelerate the much-needed transformation in the urban e-mobility by offering a sustainable, durable and affordable electric car that is also unique in many aspects.

"We are delighted to bring e.GO to the beautiful city of Hamburg. A metropolitan that is at forefront of urban transformation and a welcoming and vibrant community whose endearing greeting not only welcomes every ship arriving at the harbour but also the much-needed change to emission-free mobility," said Ali Vezvaei, Chairman of the Board at Next.e.GO Mobile SE.

Accelerating adoption in urban environment

Affordability, ease of use and life cycle sustainability are key to driving the adoption of electro mobility in the ever-growing urban environment. e.GO offers them all. The robust aluminium spaceframe and the highly durable polymeric outer body give the e.GO Life a longer life cycle and lower total cost of ownership. The smart battery swap feature, first of its kind for an urban electric car, provides a different user experience and peace of mind while enhancing the ecological footprint of e.GO compared to many other choices in the market.

Sangfor Releases Extended Detection, Defense and Response (XDDR) Application Containment

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, Sept. 16, 2021 — Sangfor Technologies (300454.SZ) announced the release of their long-awaited extended protection solution, XDDR Application Containment. Based on Sangfor’s XDDR security framework, Application Containment allows the network and endpoints (both on-premise or in-cloud) to work together to identify, control, and report on all applications running on endpoints, or using the network to communicate. Sangfor’s XDDR provides an integrated solution that protects against ransomware, malware, APTs, phishing websites and email, and potentially malicious applications.

The Most Powerful Application Containment Solution
The Most Powerful Application Containment Solution

Controlling and enforcing internet access policies in the workplace has not been easy. Employees want access to the internet for personal use as well as their work, making overly restrictive security solutions difficult to implement and maintain. Organizations deploy proxy servers to control access to the internet and external applications. This access control is necessary to maintain productivity, ensure users do not access malicious sites and unknowingly download malware, and to maximize bandwidth utilization for critical business applications.  Many users employ VPN (virtual private network) technology, anonymous browsers, and other proxy avoidance applications to bypass organizational security and content filtering policies enforced by the proxy servers. Sangfor XDDR Application Containment solutions enable the organization to quickly create Proxy Avoidance Protection policies for blocking usage of proxy avoidance tools and applications on the endpoint.

Sangfor’s NGAF (Next Generation Application Firewall), IAG (Internet Access Gateway) and Endpoint Secure products work cohesively to provide real-time visualization of all application communication throughout the entire network, quickly identifying proxy avoidance traffic. Proxy Avoidance Protection policies can quickly be built on the NGAF or IAG from Sangfor’s extensive library of anti-proxy and proxy avoidance applications. These policies are then deployed by Endpoint Secure to block or monitor anti-proxy applications.

Organizations can also create whitelists and blacklists of applications in Application Containment. This gives administrators granular control of applications running on PCs, laptops, and servers to prevent installation of malware and ransomware, especially with users working from home, to prevent infection of corporate, enterprise, or organizational networks, resources, and critical assets. Peripheral Control manages access to connected USB devices to prevent data leakage.

Traditional extended detection and response (XDR) is network security technology designed to provide increased visibility, analysis functions and response to cyber-threats in the network, cloud, applications, and endpoints. XDR is positioned as the most sophisticated technology available but tends to be more marketing hype than reality, having been developed as the progression of EDR, or endpoint detection and response, to work with non-integrated network security products. Unlike XDR products, Sangfor XDDR Application Containment is the only true solution where network and endpoint work together to identify, control, and report on both allowed and malicious applications running on endpoints and communicating across the network. Sangfor NGAF, IAG and Endpoint Secure coordinate responses so Application Containment can provide real-time blocking and monitoring of unapproved or malicious applications.

Control can be regained from rogue applications delivered by ransomware, malware and APTs that users bring into networks. Sangfor Application Containment blocks the bypassing of internet access controls and prevents users from bringing them in again.

For more information on Sangfor XDDR, or Sangfor’s entire suite of interconnected and intuitive security and cloud solutions, visit www.sangfor.com today.

Tonik enters consumer lending with a game-changing 15-minute Quick Loan

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 15, 2021 — Tonik, the Philippines’ first digital-only neobank, has launched a pioneering Quick Loan product on its platform. The launch of Quick Loan marks Tonik’s entry into the deeply underserved consumer lending market in the Philippines, in which it intends to establish itself as one of the market leaders. Tonik’s game-changing all-digital Quick Loan is designed to serve the vast unbanked and underbanked Filipino middle class with a quick and affordable bank credit proposition.

  • Mass Market Appeal. Tonik’s Quick Loan doesn’t require the client to have a prior credit history or a pre-existing bank account at another bank, relying instead on world-class alternative credit scoring technologies for credit decision.
  • Rapid Application and Credit Decision. The Quick Loan offers a market-leading rapid application path of under 15 minutes, based on an upload of only one ID and the latest pay slip. The credit decision is typically made within minutes through proprietary AI-driven underwriting.
  • Instant Disbursement. Once approved, the funds are instantly credited to the client’s Tonik Account. From there, the funds can be withdrawn through OTC partners Cebuana and MLhuillier, moved to client’s other bank or e-wallet account, or paid out through an ATM or merchant payment using the Tonik Debit Card.
  • Affordable and Convenient Repayment. By availing of up to 24 months loan duration, Quick Loan clients can comfortably spread up to P 50,000 of total loan principal across their monthly budgets. The clients can also set their own preferred monthly repayment dates, as well as save time and reduce their interest rate by linking their salary payroll ATM card.

"Traditional banks require the applicant to have credit history to approve a loan while 80%+ of the Filipinos don’t have any credit history. As a result, the Filipino consumers are forced to borrow from friends and family or from payday loan providers at very high interest. This damages their long-term financial stability and undermines their future, and we think this is unfair. We estimate that there is USD 100 billion of potential market for consumer loans in the Philippines, which is currently 90% unserved. Our plan is to change this balance and make affordable loans accessible for majority of Filipinos," said Greg Krasnov, CEO and Founder of Tonik.

"We have already attracted close to USD 80 million of consumer deposits since our launch six months ago. This has validated our ability to rapidly scale our resources for lending, and therefore enables us to grow our loan book fast and without any reliance on third party wholesale funding. So, the Quick Loan is only the first in a range of all-digital consumer lending products that we will introduce over the coming months. Our plan is to use advanced digital technology to help solve financial inclusion in the country," said Krasnov.

Tonik is supervised by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) through its own digital bank license, and deposits are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC).  Its unique cloud-based solution is powered by global financial technology leaders such as Mastercard, Amazon Web Services, and Finastra.

About Tonik

Tonik is the first digital-only neobank in the Philippines, providing a full stack of Loan, Deposit, and Payment products to consumers on a highly secure digital banking platform. The neobank operates on the basis of its own bank license issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Tonik is led by a team of retail finance veterans who have previously built and scaled multiple retail banks and fintechs across the global emerging markets.  It is backed by top international venture capital funds.  Tonik operates out of hubs in Singapore (HQ), Manila, Chennai, and Kyiv.

According to a recent population census, more Singaporeans are choosing smaller households or singlehood, and are opting for smaller housing options. Meeting the lifestyle needs of today’s Singaporeans, BenQ sees the need for a portable LED mini projector that can provide quality cinematic experiences despite shrinking dwelling spaces. BenQ’s pursuit of innovation, along with its advanced technology, has resulted with the GV30 LED mini projector.

"Our new GV30 LED mini projector provides an all-in-one cinematic experience by combining wireless Android TV streaming with powerful Bluetooth multichannel audio, a 135-degree projection angle, high flexibility and versatile connectivity," said Jeffrey Liang, President of BenQ Asia Pacific Corporation. "We believe the GV30 will complement Singaporean lifestyle choices, providing a theatrical experience in the comfort of their own homes at the fraction of the price, and size, of a full-blown home entertainment hub."

Cinematic sound quality with 2.1 CH Speakers

The GV30 is one of the first portable LED mini projectors to feature a 2.1-channel audio system with separate high and mid-range drivers, and a dedicated woofer for resonant bass, bringing true cinematic texture to film and video viewing. Tuned by BenQ’s treVolo audio team, the system employs acoustic and psychoacoustic sciences to balance cinematic sound properties and enhance depth, clarity, definition, presence and stereo field imaging. The GV30 comes with versatile Cinema, Game, Sports and Music Modes, and also works seamlessly as a battery-powered, portable, Bluetooth speaker.

Quality imaging with 135-degree projection at any angle, from any corner of the household

Designed with space efficiency in mind, the GV30 can automatically correct image focus even when projecting from oblique angles. With its rotating magnetic base, users can tweak projection angles up to 135 degrees, and tap on the auto focus and auto vertical keystone functions to sharpen image quality. This means that the GV30 can be set up easily anywhere around the home, in any room.

Powered by LED technology, BenQ’s CinematicColor™ feature offers a color performance that can reach up to 98% coverage of the Rec.709 color gamut. With 720p native resolution and 300 ANSI lumens brightness, GV30 provides clear images and contrast. It also offers 6 professionally-tuned picture modes to optimize the viewing experience.

In-built home entertainment with Android TV

GV30 is completely wireless with inbuilt Android TV, providing instant access to Google Play and live streaming apps for movies, shows, sports and games, as well as social media platforms. The projector also supports wireless casting from iOS and Android devices as well as laptops.

Pre-sale orders for the GV30 are now available between September 7 and September 28, 2021, at a preferential rate of SGD799 with GST (usual price 869 with GST). Orders can be placed now exclusively at the BenQ Store on Lazada and Shopee.
