Commotion, the AI-native enterprise startup backed by Tata Communications, has introduced a new AI operating system (AI OS) built in collaboration with NVIDIA. Through the initiative, Commotion positions AI not merely as a tool to assist employees, but as a governed, reliable digital workforce that can help enterprises run faster, smarter and more efficiently than ever before. Leveraging NVIDIA Nemotron open models along with the NVIDIA Riva library for advanced speech capabilities, the platform is designed to help enterprises move AI from pilots to production and complete business tasks autonomously, while backed by strong governance and measurable outcomes. Unlike conventional AI tools that generate insights but still depend on manual efforts, Commotion’s AI OS brings enterprise data together, coordinates decisions across systems, and enables AI workers to execute end-to-end tasks such as handling customer service calls, resolving network issues, and improving guest experienc...

Acceleronix, a global Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services provider, and IDEMIA Secure Transactions, a global payment and connectivity solutions specialist, have launched the In-Factory Profile Provisioning (IFPP) Early Access Program at MWC Barcelona .  The programme, which is delivered jointly with Tele2 IoT, provides early access to a quantum-safe IFPP solution for IoT devices. Under the programme, Acceleronix's platform, orchestration capabilities, and factory tools are combined with IDEMIA Secure Transactions' IFPP-ready eSIM IoT and quantum-safe IFPP binding and delivery of MNO profiles. Tele2 IoT contributes its profiles with managed global IoT connectivity. The programme is tuned for any type of device manufacturing operation, from small production runs to large-scale factories. The programme enables OEMs to preload connectivity profiles onto eSIMs during the manufacturing process using one single eSIM part number (one stock-keeping unit or SKU). Devices...

Cohesity, the AI-powered data security provider, has made significant threat protection enhancements to the Cohesity Data Cloud , redefining cyber resilience by uniting intelligence-driven threat detection, secure analysis, and rapid recovery into a single platform. Frontline Google Cloud security expertise allows organisations to better identify, analyse, and eradicate malware before it can initiate a destructive cyberattack. Unlike traditional backup security approaches that rely on static signatures, external tools, or manual workflows, Cohesity delivers native, intelligence-driven malware analysis directly within the cyber resilience platform, closing one of the industry’s most dangerous blind spots: undetected threats embedded in historical backup data. According to Cohesity, ransomware attacks, supply-chain compromises, and polymorphic malware are growing in scale and sophistication, enabling attackers to increasingly adopt stealthier, long-lived tactics to evade detection...

By Yana Haikal, Country Manager and President Director of PT Eaton Industries Indonesia Major power failures have struck Indonesia with devastating consequences in the last two years, from Java and Bali’s crippled infrastructure to Sumatra’s two-day blackout that brought business and daily life to a standstill. These incidents have raised concerns about the resilience of energy systems in Indonesia, as it pushes for increased renewable integration into existing power grids, through projects such as the Green Enabling Super Grid and the Indonesia Electricity Network Transformation (I-ENET) programme.  As a key market in the hyperconnected ASEAN region, Indonesia also grapples with the pressure of climate-driven energy transitions. These disruptions underscore the urgent need to strengthen energy resilience — the only way to secure competitive advantage and futureproof our enterprises. Growing risks Indonesia faces a confluence of escalating risks that threaten to unravel busin...
