Smart links up with PH government on war vs organized global syndicate on SMS spamming

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 23, 2021 — PLDT’s wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) fully supports the move of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), the National Privacy Commission (NPC), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to investigate and stop the proliferation of SMS spam-based scam and fraud.

From October 21 to November 20, Smart has blocked a daily average of 400 to 500 mobile numbers found to be related to SMS spam, and some 40 domains and IP addresses used by online scammers.

These follow the recent sudden spike in SMS spam, where mobile users receive unsolicited but enticing messages from strange numbers, that then lead to an elaborate online phishing scam where the target mobile users end up falling victims to fraud.

"We are one with the NTC, NPC, and DTI in protecting our customers from these unscrupulous individuals. As we work tirelessly to ensure the integrity of our own cybersecurity systems, we encourage our customers to be vigilant and alert so that we can work with the authorities to prevent these scams and eventually stop these cybercriminals," according to PLDT and Smart President and CEO Al Panlilio.

Mobile users are reminded to not entertain questions or surveys from unknown senders, and to never provide their personal information to strangers. Those who receive suspicious and unsolicited SMS may also report the scammers and their numbers direct to the NTC (https://ntc.gov.ph/complaint). The NTC, after due process, may then order Smart to cut the cybercriminals’ numbers.

Smart has also implemented blocking access to domains and IP addresses evidently found to be related to these fraudulent schemes.

"We protect our customers and block accounts based on mobile numbers associated with fraud. But since mobile numbers may be easily replaced, we also block on the domain and IP address levels, as soon as we have evidence that a specific domain is used as a platform by scammers," according to PLDT and Smart Chief Information and Security Officer Angel T. Redoble.

"In fact we have identified and blocked about 40 domains and IP addresses involved in this scam, which leads us to believe that this is a huge and sophisticated scam by an organized global syndicate. We urge our customers to be very paranoid and to never share sensitive information especially with strangers no matter how enticing the offer may sound," added Redoble.

Nestle Health Science Partners with Healint to Initiate a Fully Virtual Study on Ketogenic Treatment for Migraines

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Nov. 21, 2021 — Nestlé Health Science (NHSc) has initiated a study looking into the effectiveness of a ketogenic nutritional supplement in reducing migraine attacks. The fully virtual study, taking place in Quebec, Canada, is investigating the effectiveness of a ketogenic nutritional supplement developed by Nestlé in reducing the number, intensity, and duration of migraines in people with episodic migraines.

This fully virtual study has been approved for conduct in the Canadian province of Quebec, with scientific and regulatory support from the Food & Nutrition Group within Intertek Assuris and is powered by a dedicated module within the Migraine Buddy app developed by Healint. The Clinical Research Unit at Nestlé Research is managing the trial and the clinical operations activities are being executed by DIEX Recherche. This represents for Nestlé the first randomized clinical trial for central nervous system conditions to be conducted fully remotely, with no visits at the clinical site. 1

The digital platform allows participants in the province of Quebec to be screened, recruited, and tracked in real-time across the five-month study, all from a single, easy-to-use, virtual interface. Moreover, the digital aspect reduces the risk of human errors associated with traditional paper-based records and increases the speed of data capture and cleaning.

"Migraines can be seriously incapacitating for sufferers, affecting every aspect of their lives," said Stephanie Blum, Global Head of Translation Research for Nestlé Health Science. "We have seen promising evidence that by improving brain energy metabolism, for example with the use of ketones, the impact of migraines can be lessened." Nestlé Health Science is using a fully virtual study to improve patient experience, making trial participation more accessible and convenient, paving the way to future end-to-end digital clinical studies in medical nutrition.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need and benefit for clinical trials to go fully virtual; there are multiple cost efficiencies and benefits to a fully remote clinical trial which technology platforms like Migraine Buddy can facilitate," said François Cadiou, CEO of Healint.

"We firmly believe that mobile health has the potential to revolutionize the way clinical studies are delivered" said Cadiou. "We are delighted that this partnership with Nestlé Health Science will allow clinical trials to proceed remotely and promote inclusion by extending the range of participants to beyond those residing near physical trial sites."

Migraine is the sixth most disabling illness in the world, which affects around a billion people worldwide. More than half of all migraine sufferers are never diagnosed, while 15% of those diagnosed with migraine experience more than five attacks per month. Considering that 75% of the migraine population is female and that prevalence peaks between the ages for 18 and 44, the burden of migraine falls most heavily on women of childbearing age. Migraine is characterized by moderate to severe   headache   and   is   often   accompanied by nausea, vomiting and photophobia.2 It has detrimental effects on daily activities, it reduces quality of life and impairs productivity with limited participation in professional, academic, and social settings.

Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific Survey Outlines Key IT and Security Trends Impacting Enterprises

Leave a comment

Study provides an assessment of the security considerations and key imperatives for Singapore organizations

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 11, 2021 — In collaboration with the ISACA Singapore Chapter, Frost & Sullivan’s Security Practice has conducted an end-user survey, 2021 ISACA-Frost & Sullivan Survey: The Singapore Cybersecurity Landscape, with 78 ISACA thought leaders. The goal was to seek opinions on the technologies that will have a profound transformative impact on existing industry dynamics, value chains, and business models across multiple vertical markets in the next 2-3 years.

Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific Survey Outlines Key IT and Security Trends Impacting Enterprises
Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific Survey Outlines Key IT and Security Trends Impacting Enterprises

In addition to providing quantitative insight, the study provides a top-level assessment of three main cybersecurity threats in Singapore: ransomware, data exfiltration and vulnerability of unpatched systems.

For further information on this analysis, please visit: https://frost.ly/6os

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has pushed enterprises globally to accelerate their security capabilities, sometimes leading to security gaps. The increasingly sophisticated threat landscape and a complex business environment are also driving businesses to explore solutions to help them strengthen their security posture for better cyber threat/risk," said Kenny Yeo, Associate Director, Head of Asia-Pacific Cybersecurity Practice at Frost & Sullivan. "However, utilizing these solutions in isolation will limit their effectiveness. As our organizations change, IT and risk teams also need to adapt and better manage the expanded threat surface by implementing a holistic cybersecurity approach for maximum benefits."

"In its third year running, the ISACA-Frost & Sullivan survey of thought leaders within the ISACA Singapore Chapter membership has provided situational awareness to aid organizations in building threat-informed defenses across people, processes and technology," said Steven Sim, President, ISACA Singapore Chapter. "The results are also reflective of the ISACA Global State of Cybersecurity 2021 results, albeit with Singapore-centric nuances. In a strong public-private partnership, keeping regular tabs on the ground’s pulse helps us guide organizations in developing more agile, risk-optimal security improvement programs and contributing to a collective ecosystem defense."

Key findings include:

  • Cloud adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore, with 63% of respondent organizations adopting cloud more during the pandemic.
  • Twenty-nine percent of enterprises saw a moderate to major increase in supply chain attacks during the pandemic.
  • Sixty-five percent of Singapore enterprises are still at risk, with only 35% of respondents indicating that they had no cybersecurity incidents during the year after regular forensics and assessments were conducted.
  • Top areas of concern in Singapore include data exfiltration (leak of personal data), ransomware attacks and vulnerability of unpatched systems.
  • Top cybersecurity challenges faced in Singapore include resourcing and skills, balancing regulatory requirements and customers’ needs, and lack of budget.
  • Senior management is more concerned with cyber risk issues as the general perception of cybersecurity has improved.

People, processes and technology all need to be addressed in today’s modern enterprise with the support of senior management. These include cybersecurity awareness programs, governance, risk and compliance tools, and cyber drills.

With the expansive and high-resolution 6.78" FHD+ display, it’s an experience that’s positively immersive, not only for gaming, but even running all social media apps, streaming the latest shows, or even working.

Not to be outdone, the B15’s quad-camera system brings a big upgrade in performance over last year’s G5, starting with the ultra-resolution 48 megapixel main camera, capturing every last detail in your photos. It’s followed by an ultrawide-angle 5 megapixel sensor, a macro lens for super-close photography, and a bokeh sensors for portrait-styled photos. On the flipside, the 8 megapixel selfie camera boasts advanced functionality in the form of AI auto-calibration, beautification filters, and a professional photography mode.

Given the substantial performance of the B15, it’s all supported by a massive 5000mAh battery with 18W quick charge capabilities, allowing users to take their day head-on without charging concerns. It’s all secured through a sleek, side-mounted fingerprint reader, on a pure, stock version of the modern Android 11, and is available for just $199.99 (after the $159.99 pre-order promotion).

Expand Your View with the B10

Make way for the new B10, powered by MediaTek’s powerhouse Helio P60 octa-core chipset and triple camera imaging system. The B10 excels at making lag a thing of the past, for editing photos, doing work, playing games, or kicking back with the latest episode of a favorite TV show.

When no detail can be spared, take super-high resolution photos with the B10’s exceptional 48 megapixel rear main camera that allows an incredible amount of zooming into photos. For capturing more detail outside of the shot, there’s the powerful 8 megapixel ultra wide-angle camera, boasting a 127° field of view. If detail is needed close-up on a single object, the macro zoom camera and its 2.2mm focal length can handle that with ease.

Soak in a world beyond imagination with the B10’s deluxe high definition punch hole 6.55" display with an 87% screen to body ratio, making it perfect for browsing the web for the next big adventure without worrying about potential gaps in performance. Trimmed with an elegant sleek bezel as well as a deep ocean blue or white metallic finish, users can be sure to make a statement without saying a word.

Cyclone Robotics Launches End-To-End Hyperautomation Product Portfolio to Boost Digital Economy in Asia Pacific, Enabling Automation Across All Stages of Digital Transformation

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10, 2021 — Cyclone Robotics, the world’s leading RPA provider and thought leader in the era of hyperautomation, launched its enterprise-level product portfolio with end-to-end automation solutions, and announced its expanded global partnership strategy. Strengthened by its product innovation, rich experience in hyperautomation, and extensive global partnership network, Cyclone Robotics aims to fully empower local businesses’ digital transformations across all stages to accelerate the digital economy’s development in Asia Pacific.

Cyclone Robotics’ solutions cover the whole lifecycle of digital transformation including phases of requirements discovery, design, management and engagement, creating a positive feedback loop that accelerates improvements. Furthermore, it integrates with various technologies such as process mining, analysis, AL/ML, iBPMS, iPAAS and zero-code development on the platform, becoming one of the important components of enterprise-level architecture in the digital era.

Earlier this year, the world-leading independent research institution Gartner identified hyperautomation as one of the top strategic technology trends of 2022, and noted that RPA enriched by AI has become the core enabling technology of hyperautomation. As an early driver of this trend, Cyclone Robotics recently launched its innovative AI Skill Platform, which supports multiple forms of AI capabilities from software to hardware as well as the CIRI Digital Assistant that seamlessly connects human, digital robot and enterprise system. It is worth mentioning that it also launched RPA Mobile Designer and Mobile App that allow everyone to operate wireless automation process in an easier way.

"As the industry leader driving the future of hyperautomation, Cyclone Robotics has stayed ahead of the trends and invested heavily in product development to provide end-to-end hyperautomation solutions. With better integration between IT and businesses, and a more flexible selection of products, we not only can empower businesses to improve individual task efficiencies, but also provide departmental and enterprise-level RPA solutions for the next stage of their digital transformations as they continue to advance." said Vincent Gao, founder and CEO of Cyclone Robotics.

According to Dr. Jia, Chief Product Officer of Cyclone Robotics, RPA has evolved over the years from its basic stages to the current RPA+, which requires end-to-end process automation capabilities at the departmental level, and will continue to advance to enterprise-level hyperautomation of the future. Cyclone Robotics’ rich experience and practices indicate that enterprises have diverse demands throughout their digital transformation, from very basic applications to more complex challenges. For example, Cyclone Robotics’ partnership with Sinolink Securities, an Asia-Pacific leading securities and investment management firm, has gone through all three RPA stages during its digital transformation journey since 2019. In the beginning, Cyclone Robotics helped launch RPA pilots in some of its business operations that had more informatisation, lower implementation costs, and more frequent standard needs. After Cyclone Robotics’ RPA products and applications were proven successful, Sinolink then began to broadly deploy RPA across the whole company. By 2021, more than 200 RPA operations have been successfully deployed in over 30 departments, achieving 100% execution accuracy with zero errors, 24/7 automated operations, and saving over 6,000 minutes of manpower every day. Moving forward, Cyclone Robotics is working with Sinolink to establish its hyperautomatic middle office with Cyclone Robotics’ recent innovations, such as the aforementioned AI Skill Platform and CIRI. Sinolink can now look forward to more deeply integrated RPA that adds value to its management, business, and collaborations, enabling it to explore more applications for automation.

Gartner also forecasted that the Covid-19 pandemic would fast-forward digital skills adoption by at least five years, which is currently proven by the accelerated digitalisation in Southeast Asia. Automation technologies such as RPA and AI are expected to help address the growing concerns of skills shortage in this region. For example, Singapore, impacted by both Covid-19 restrictions and the government’s hiring policies for foreign skilled workers, is now in heavy demand for tech talents across multiple sectors, especially when it comes to working and managing new technologies. Additionally, other industries like construction, logistics, and manufacturing in Singapore are also seeing rising needs for automation to help them minimise disruption across all aspects of business in the post pandemic recovery.

ASEAN countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia have all announced their national strategy for digital transformation. Among them, Singapore is considered as "most prepared" for automation according a 2021 Deloitte report. In October 2021, Singapore also announced new phases of the Smart City Initiatives established in 2019 with China (Shenzhen), and highlighted "robotics development" as one of its three key focus areas.

"We are excited to see RPA’s increasing role in helping accelerate digitalisation in this region," said Dr. Jia. "Cyclone Robotics’ newly launched product portfolio is tailored for all types of needs across digital transformation. With a proven track record of success, and with our strong innovation capabilities in AI, MI, and more, we are confident we can propel local companies to become more competitive and prepared for the coming hyperautomation era by fulfilling their all of their business priorities."

Cyclone Robotics has also announced an accelerated global partnership ecosystem to drive business growth, an expanded business chain and scalable partner values. As of now, it already has a large gathering of global partners on the ecosystem, and has tripled its channel partners. Just months after opening its Singapore branch earlier this year, Cyclone Robotics has successfully signed a number of local partnerships with different expertise across countries and regions, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan. "We are encouraged to see so many partnerships formed in SEA shortly after opening our office here. Alongside our new service offering, this rapid expansion of our global partnership network will allow us to empower partners through the ecosystem, and provide efficient on-boarding and responsive services, thereby improving our overall service delivery capabilities," said Dr. Jia. "We look forward to welcoming more partners from all regions into our global ecosystem, through which we’ll provide further localised, professional and tailored offerings, from advisory to solutions, for all types of enterprises throughout their digital transformation journey."

About Cyclone Robotics

Cyclone Robotics completed its Series B in 2020, raising nearly $40 million USD. The team grew from 20 employees in 2019 to 400 members currently across 13 subsidiaries and branches around the world, serving over 500 global customers across Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. In early 2021, Cyclone Robotics established its Singapore branch, covering Southeast Asia, Japan, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand to empower companies across all industries to realize digital transformation with its full RPA products & services portfolio. To date, Cyclone Robotics is the only RPA provider in China to have been included in the authoritative reports published by both Gartner and Forrester. The firm is committed to maintaining and growing its position as a world-leading RPA provider and thought leader in the era of hyperautomation.
