Hytera Envisages the Future of PMR at Critical Communications World Virtual Conference

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 6, 2020 — Hytera, a global leading Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) solution provider, participated in Critical Communications Week (CCWeek) 2020 as a Brand Leader sponsor to showcase its latest innovations and shared perspectives on the evolution of communications technologies from 2G to 5G. CCWeek, a five-day virtual exhibition and conference on Nov. 2-6, offers a new opportunity for stakeholders of the critical communications sector to network after the Critical Communications World 2020 offline event was cancelled due to the pandemic.

On the first day of the fully packed five-day conference progromme, Simon Yin, general manager assistant of Hytera Americas, shared with attendees Hytera’s insight of how the critical communications sector is to move forward in the 5G era. Hytera believes that there is no single technology capable of fixing all problems, instead it will be "2+5+N", a hybrid and convergent way of meeting a multitude of requirements.

Simon Yin, general manager assistant of Hytera Americas, shared with attendees Hytera’s insight of how the critical communications sector is to move forward in the 5G era.
Simon Yin, general manager assistant of Hytera Americas, shared with attendees Hytera’s insight of how the critical communications sector is to move forward in the 5G era.

"2" stands for 2G technologies, such as TETRA, which provides stable and reliable voice services for critical communication users. TETRA, as the most successful PMR technology, will remain as the first choice of mission critical voice services thanks to its great availability, reliability and security. Since the technology itself keeps evolving, Hytera sees TETRA as a viable technology in years leading to 4G and 5G era.

"5" stands for 5G that supports high throughput, low latency and massive connections. In 3G/4G LTE era, in order to satisfy the increasing demand of data services, there are mainly two paths available for mission critical and industrial users. One is private LTE, the other one is Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). One common choice for critical communication on broadband systems is Mission Critical Service (MCS), an open standard defined by 3GPP. When it comes to 5G, the two paths technologically merge and converge, since 5G from bottom up is designed for industries, which not only enables the telco to explore business opportunities into vertical sectors, but also empowers industry users with their private network in ways such as network slicing.

"N" stands for various applications based on different technologies. Numerous services and apps will be made available for industries by developers. Hytera believes the key is how to get the best out of each technology and converge them into an interconnected network. When multiple technologies and vendors are involved, the optimal situation for mission critical users is that they can choose freely from an open ecosystem and establish the critical communications infrastructure following an open protocol, which is important now and in the future.

CyCraft Japan joins the Nippon CSIRT Association

Leave a comment

TOKYO, Nov. 4, 2020 — CyCraft Technology, the fastest-growing cybersecurity firm in Asia, today announced that CyCraft JP has officially joined the Nippon CSIRT Association (NCA).

CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team, Computer Security Incident Response Team) refers to a team of security analysts that not only deal with and respond to cybersecurity incidents, collect and analyze incident-related vulnerability intelligence, attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) but also formulate playbooks and carry out responses to security incidents.

In recent years, Japanese organizations have begun building and developing their own internal CSIRTs; however, cyberattacks in the 21st century are becoming more and more sophisticated and frequent, making it more and more difficult for one CSIRT to handle individually. Nippon CSIRT Association (NCA) was established to unify the intelligence, resources, and capability of multiple CSIRTs so that one CSIRT leveraging the intelligence, resources, and capability of other CSIRTs could overcome security incidents and increase Japan’s overall cyber resilience.

NCA is not the first CSIRT organization CyCtaft has joined. Earlier this year, CyCraft Taiwan joined the international CSIRT organization, FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). CyCraft Technology is not just committed to raising the resilience of global organizations but also committed to demonstrating trustworthiness, professionalism, and accurate and actionable threat intelligence, specifically in the APAC market.

About Nippon CSIRT Association

NCA was founded in 2007 with the primary goal of fostering cooperation, intelligence sharing, and strengthening trustworthy relations between CSIRTs in Japan to better facilitate prompt, intelligence-driven responses. NCA provides a secure forum for members to cooperate with each other and solve common problems collectively. NCA CSIRT team, from various organizations across multiple industries and fields, gather regularly at NSA conferences to discuss relevant and current threats and trends, observed attack behavior, attack and defensive playbook modifications, and more.

For more information, visit www.nca.gr.jp/en.

About CyCraft

CyCraft is a world-leading cybersecurity company and the fastest-growing cybersecurity company in Asia. They have developed multiple innovative AI-driven technologies to achieve security intelligent protection automation, such as threat intelligence gateway (TIG), network detection and response (NDR), endpoint protection(EPP), advanced and managed endpoint detection and response (EDR & MDR), and global cyber threat intelligence (CTI), all delivered via their information security monitoring platform, CyCraft AIR. They participated in the U.S. MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations in 2019 and received top marks in automated detection capabilities with zero configuration changes.

CompTIA Offers Australian and New Zealand Citizens Free Online Training in the Foundations of Information Communications Technology

Leave a comment

SYDNEY, Nov. 3, 2020 — Career changers, displaced workers, students or anyone interested in learning more about the fundamentals of information communications technology (ICT) are invited to take advantage of free online training offered by the ANZ Business Technology Community of CompTIA, the leading trade association for the global technology industry and workforce.

CompTIA is offering citizens of Australia and New Zealand free training and certification exam vouchers for its CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) credential. CompTIA ITF+ is the only pre-career certification that helps people gauge their interest in ICT and whether a career in technology is right for them.

"Whether you are a student exploring career options; a displaced worker looking for a new opportunity; or simply someone who wants to expand their understanding of ICT, we invite you to take part in this unique opportunity," said Loraine Vorster, CompTIA’s vice president for business development for ANZ and Africa. 

CompTIA Authorized Partners DDLS  and Cyber Train are supporting the program with  free virtual workshops during November and December for all participants and a variety of experiences for learners who complete their CompTIA ITF+ certification.

"The building of digital skills has never been more important and there is an abundance of opportunities for those looking to take their career further within the ICT field, especially those focused in moving into a cyber security role," said Jon Lang, CEO of DDLS, the largest ICT Training company in Australia. "There is a legitimate skills gap in Australia for security professionals, and for those individuals looking to start a career in IT with the goal to become a security professional, there is no better time than now to do this."

The Australian government has estimated that more than 90% of its citizens will need to use some level of digital skills at work within the next five years.1

"Digital skills are an essence of modern workforce as they have revolutionized the way we work and communicate," said Adnan Syed, principal consultant and senior technical trainer at Cyber Train Australia. "A digital skills culture in the workplace increases business productivity, can increase revenue and allows strong customer relationships."

"Working knowledge and business use of electronic devices, networks, cybersecurity, communications systems and data analysis are essential job criteria in the technological age," Syed added. "We need to do more to make sure that digital skills gap does not become a skills crisis."

In New Zealand, the country’s diverse and advanced tech sector has experienced 12% annual growth and technology exports have reached an estimated $950 million. Some 75,000 people are employed in ICT-related roles.2

"Recognising the ever-increasing skills gap in the ICT industry, it’s more important than ever for organisations within the industry to do what they can to close that gap," said Daniel Johns, chair of the CompTIA ANZ Business Technology Community. "CompTIA is in a unique position as not only an industry advocate, but a globally recognised certification body as well. We hope the adoption of this initiative will be widely received."

"I meet so many people who are unhappy in their careers, who could be fantastic for a role in ICT, but they either don’t have the confidence or don’t know where to start," said Moheb Moses, director of Channel Dynamics and director of the CompTIA ANZ Channel Community. "This is a great program to help you learn if ICT is right for you, and provides you with a certificate at the end. And it won’t cost you a cent."

Today’s announcement expands on a program launched in October 2019 to provide students in Australia and New Zealand with free courseware materials and certification exam vouchers as a prelude to potential careers in technology.

CompTIA ITF+ allows individuals to explore the foundations of technology, allowing them to expand their knowledge of basic digital skills. For some, ITF+ can be the stepping off point towards a career in technology; for others, understanding the fundamentals of technology will serve them well in any career they choose.

Enrollees in the free program will receive a CompTIA ITF+ self-study eBook and a certification exam voucher, along with access to a virtual workshop and an ITProTV video course. To enroll in CompTIA’s ITF+ program visit https://certs.comptia.org/itfanz/.

CompTIA has awarded some 2.7 million certifications to ICT professionals in 232 countries around the world, helping them to validate their skills and advance in their careers. CompTIA also offers a full suite of official learning resources, including self-paced and live online training with an instructor. Visit CompTIA.org to learn more.

Insider Enters the USA to Cement Its Global Presence and Assigns Jim Koepke as Managing Director

Leave a comment

Insider helps 800+ leading brands like Virgin, Samsung, GAP, and Pizza Hut accelerate digital growth through best-in-class customer engagement.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2, 2020 — Singapore-based Insider, a profitable SaaS company that takes a unique approach to omnichannel experience orchestration, announced its entry to the USA as a next step to reach aggressive growth targets. Leading the growth in the region will be Jim Koepke, now joining the Insider team as the Managing Director, USA.

Insider currently operates in 25 countries, bringing omnichannel experience orchestration from Korea to Indonesia, UK to Brazil for 800+ brands including industry powerhouses like Estée Lauder, Lenovo, New Balance, Puma, CNN, and GNC. After penetrating some of the vastest and mobile-only markets in Asia, establishing itself as a leader in the EU and expanding into markets like LatAm, Insider is set to bring its experience and knowledge to the US market. With teams on the ground in each country that they are present in, Insider ensures deep localization and unparalleled support for their clients. 

"Over the past 8 years, we’ve come to embrace the struggles and failures of democratizing AI and marketing technologies in mobile-only and some of the toughest markets in the world. Providing our technology at this scale and expanding our business to 25 countries came with complex challenges that helped us build our muscles in many areas. Now, with a team of 600+ people, we are ready to cement our global presence with our entry into the US market. We have set bold plans into motion and have full confidence in our platform that will deliver a unique approach in omnichannel experience orchestration. This is a milestone we’ve been planning carefully, and finally, USA, we’re home," said Hande Cilingir, Co-founder and CEO of Insider.

Most digital marketers face the same problem: there are too many tools that claim to be "omnichannel" and provide a "hub." Meanwhile, customer data still sits in silos, sales channels remain under-developed or even unavailable and the end product is more point-solutions rather than a true hub. The result exacerbates the disjointed experiences for consumers and hinders marketing ROI. 

Insider‘s AI-powered platform enables enterprise marketers to connect customer data across channels and systems, predict their future behavior with an AI-powered intent engine and orchestrate and deliver individualized experiences to customers. The platform is unique in how it offers the widest set of product features in the market while coordinating all offline and online data across the unified platform and its various engagement channels. The powerful AI intent engine consists of 15+ algorithms that enable marketers to make precise predictions such as which customer segments are likely to convert, buy, and churn, then design the most optimized experiences accordingly. 

"We’re very excited to welcome Jim Koepke as our Managing Director in the US. Jim will be leading our aggressive growth in the region and will enable us to tackle the unique challenges of marketers driving the growth of top enterprise brands in the USA," added Cilingir.

Jim Koepke joins Insider as the Managing Director for the US and brings with him two decades of experience in sales, eCommerce, and a deep understanding of the North American market. Jim previously led the GTM teams for Emarsys as VP of Sales for the Americas. Prior to leading the scale efforts for Emarsys in North America, Jim held numerous leadership roles for ExactTarget and Salesforce.

"Since I joined the Insider family, each day has reaffirmed my decision to do so. Great onboarding. Great people. Great technology leading to phenomenal results for our customers. I have done my homework, seen the platform, read the case studies, tested the ROI models, and reviewed their write-up in the Gartner MQ for Multichannel Marketing Hubs. I have spoken to customers, competitors, founders, and board members. This company is already great and destined for so much more. Insider’s presence in the US is now beginning and I can’t wait to share the power of Insider with the US market," said Jim Koepke, Managing Director for the US at Insider.

About Insider

Insider is a B2B SaaS company with a unique approach to multichannel experience orchestration that recently announced its Series C funding round which is led by Riverwood Capital and joined by Sequoia, Wamda, and Endeavor Catalyst. Insider has been recently featured in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs 2020 and became the leader on G2Crowd’s Mobile Marketing Software and Personalization Grids with a 4.7/5 rating based on 100% user reviews for 15 quarters in a row.

Insider has 27 offices in London, Paris, Singapore, Indianapolis, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Sydney, Brasília‎, Helsinki, Barcelona, Dubai, Moscow, Warsaw, Taipei, Jakarta, Manila, Wellington, Istanbul, Kiev, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Brussels, Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Ankara and Kuala Lumpur.

CrunchBase ranked Insider’s Co-founder and CEO Hande Cilingir as one of the top women CEOs outside of the US. Cilingir was also granted two highly prestigious awards in 2020: Top 25 CEOs for Europe by TSR and The Lindas by Endeavor.
