Progress Software, theAI-powered digital experience and infrastructure software provider, has released Progress Flowmon ADS 12.5 , its advanced anomaly detection system. This latest version introduces powerful AI-driven capabilities that accelerate threat detection, streamline incident response and provide deeper visibility into network activity. According to Progress Software, security teams face mounting challenges: ever-increasing network traffic, alert fatigue and increasingly sophisticated attacks. These issues are especially acute for midsize enterprises, where limited resources and IT staff often lead to missed threats and delayed responses. Flowmon ADS 12.5 addresses these challenges head-on, closing the cybersecurity skills gap and reducing mean time to response (MTTR)—without requiring deep security expertise. “As cyberthreats grow more advanced and the security talent gap widens, organisations need intelligent tools that simplify and strengthen their defenses,” said...

Dell Technologies has unveiled the new Dell PowerEdge XR8720t, designed to transform edge and telecom infrastructure by delivering unprecedented performance and connectivity, especially for Open RAN and Cloud RAN deployments.   According to Dell Technologies, the need for multiserver deployments has traditionally hindered the adoption of Cloud RAN and advanced edge computing, burdening organisations with higher costs, operational complexity, space issues and power demands. Inefficiencies and scalability limitations make it difficult to meet the real-time performance needs of next-generation applications.   The Dell PowerEdge XR8720t eliminates these barriers as the industry’s first single-server solution for Cloud RAN, streamlining infrastructure, boosting performance and efficiency, and significantly reducing total cost of ownership for modern network and edge deployments.  This compute sled makes it easier for telecommunications providers to support performance-intensi...

Organisers of technology-related events in the Asia-Pacific region have a unique perspective on trends impacting organisations in this part of the world. Andy Kiwanuka, MD, CloserStill Media (Asia Pacific) & Tech Week Singapore Organiser spoke to TechTrade Asia' s TechTouch about key trends making waves today. Q: ⁠ As a global producer of events, you engage with enterprises across Asia. What trends do you see shaping the digital economy in Asia Pacific over the next 2-3 years?  Kiwanuka (AK): From our perspective, four forces are reshaping Asia Pacific’s digital economy. AI, particularly generative AI, has moved past experimentation into deployment at scale. Whether that involves powering smarter cities, reimagining customer experiences and engagement or enhancing productivity through automation, AI will no doubt continue to make a real impact on the digital economy by extending “always-on” operations across numerous sectors. The infrastructure underpinnin g this shift is evol...

With the launch of the  UiPath Platform  earlier this year, agentic automation specialist UiPath created a pathway for organisations to jumpstart agentic automation. The company has now expanded the offerings for its  UiPath Platform  for agentic automation and orchestration.  As more organisations look to AI agents and automation to become more efficient, many still struggle to identify the right use cases and build agents to transform processes into repeatable and long-running automated workflows. Add to that the inherent challenges in connecting data across the many systems and apps behind those processes, and it’s easy to see why these efforts are stalling out, delaying the progress, and eventual ROI, of those agentic-driven transformations, the company explained. A combination of new prebuilt solutions, capabilities for orchestrations, and supporting tools for building and testing agents and automations creates an ecosystem that enables...
