Fortinet, the global cybersecurity provider driving the convergence of networking and security, has turned the FortiRecon platform into a comprehensive solution aligned with the continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) framework. The latest release introduces expanded internal attack surface monitoring, adversary-centric dark web intelligence, and security orchestration, all in a unified platform. These enhancements help organisations proactively identify and prioritise real-world exposures, validate risks like an attacker would, and accelerate response. “CISOs and security teams are overwhelmed by growing attack surfaces and an endless stream of unprioritised alerts,” said Nirav Shah, Senior VP of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “With the latest enhancements to FortiRecon , we’re giving organisations an attacker’s eye view of their internal and external exposures, backed by AI-powered threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, real-world validation, and automated response...

By Takanori Nishiyama, SVP, APAC and Japan Country Manager, Keeper Security  Do small and medium businesses (SMBs) in Asia Pacific (APAC) need privileged access management (PAM) just as much as large multinational corporations?  In the dynamic and rapidly evolving digital landscape of APAC, organisations of all sizes are under increasing pressure to protect sensitive data and systems from cyberthreats. While large multinational corporations often garner the most attention when breaches occur, SMBs are equally, if not more, vulnerable. This is especially true when in the realm of PAM. Often viewed as a tool designed only for large enterprises, PAM is in fact a critical layer of defence for SMBs across APAC looking to protect sensitive data, maintain compliance, and ensure business continuity.  The unique vulnerabilities of APAC SMBs APAC SMBs often have leaner IT teams and fewer dedicated cybersecurity resources than larger enterprises, which makes them an attractive targe...

Cloudflare, the connectivity cloud company, has become the first cloud access security broker (CASB) to integrate with all three of the leading generative AI tools – ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude by Anthropic and Google Gemini – to deliver even more visibility and control over the use of generative AI in the workplace.  With these integrations, Cloudflare customers also using these generative AI applications will be able to strengthen enterprise AI security in-real time and without the need for complex setups.   Today, three out of every four employees use generative AI tools. At the same time, enterprises are working to keep sensitive corporate data safe, prevent accidental leaks, and maintain compliance with evolving regulations. This requires real-time visibility and proactive controls for security teams to safely enable generative AI use across their business. “Employees are always looking for an edge – ways to save time, spark creativity, or boost efficiency. Using generati...

Infoblox, a cloud networking and security services provider, has upgraded its protective domain name server (DNS) solution, Infoblox Threat Defense , empowering organisations to stay ahead of sophisticated, AI-driven cyberthreats with preemptive security. As global cybercrime costs surge toward US$23 T by 2027*, traditional “detect-and-respond” security tools are struggling to keep up. Modern attackers increasingly deploy AI to create unique, single-use malware and stealthy phishing campaigns that evade traditional defences. Infoblox’s Infoblox Threat Defense , combines predictive threat intelligence with algorithmic and machine learning-based detections — blocking high-risk and malicious domains an average of 68 days earlier than traditional tools, with a 0.0002% false positive rate. “The difference between most DNS security tools and our approach is like the difference between law enforcement chasing street-level drug dealers versus taking down the cartel,” said Mukesh Gupta, Chie...

Broadpeak has launched an anti-piracy solution to help content providers combat revenue loss and piracy during high-scale streaming events. To be showcased for the first time in full at IBC2025 (12-15 September), the security offering reinforces Broadpeak’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) with anti-piracy capabilities purpose-built for video.   Source: Broadpeak. Broadpeak's CDN security and anti-piracy solution extends across nodes and systems to higher-level security services. Alongside subscription revenue loss, content providers are pressured to reduce the extra costs of bandwidth for video delivery which is used for piracy. Broadpeak’s anti-piracy solution enables streaming companies to counter billions of dollars of revenue leakage with multilayered protection – combining token validation, scalable distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, and anti-token-sharing with system-level intelligence to protect a high number of streams during peak live events.  N...

At the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games , connectivity is paramount. Beyond the typical communications required at a large-scale sports event, high-speed connections are a must if the robots are to compete effectively. The provision of those connections fell to China Unicom Beijing, the event's exclusive global communications partner. China Unicom committed to ensuring millisecond-level network response and zero downtime with its  5G-Advanced (5G-A), AI, and all-optical network expertise through collaboration with partners.  The company set up full 5G-A network coverage both inside and outside the event venue - the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval. The network, characterised by a high uplink capacity, reliability, and security, enhanced the spectator experience and enabled over 500 robots from nearly 280 teams worldwide to do their best across athletic, performance, industrial, and healthcare contests.  According to China Unicom Beijing, robots need a spec...

Kissflow, an AI-powered low-code, no-code platform, has been recognised in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Process Automation. Highlights include: “By 2029, 80% of enterprises with mature automation practices will pivot to consolidated platforms, such as business orchestration and automation (BOAT), that orchestrate business processes and agentic automation.” Tools that empower non-technical users—particularly no-code platforms and citizen development platforms—are gaining momentum, democratising innovation across business functions, Kissflow said. “By 2027, 80% of automation platforms will offer AI-assisted development, resulting in lower development costs and higher citizen development.”  Computer use for AI agents are poised to revolutionise legacy workflows. This innovation enables AI agents to interact with digital interfaces like humans, even without API access—opening up automation opportunities in legacy and browser-based...
