Ensign InfoSecurity showcases AI-powered cyber solutions to combat homeland cybersecurity challenges

Ensign Labs R&D team continuously innovates and develops AI-powered cyber solutions that detect, response, and protect against malicious cyberattacks.
At Milipol AsiaPacific – TechX Summit 2024, Ensign showcases AI-powered services designed to detect and mitigate sophisticated cybercrimes, including phishing and deepfakes.

SINGAPORE, Apr 3, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – In an era where people and devices are increasingly connected to the Internet and each other, cyberattack surfaces are growing exponentially, posing threats not only to individuals at home but organisations and nations worldwide. Evidently, safeguarding cyberspace has become the most dynamic threat to homeland security. To combat these ever-expanding complexities of cybercrimes, Ensign InfoSecurity (Ensign), Asia Pacific’s largest pure-play cybersecurity provider, has positioned itself as the forefront of cyber defence innovation. Ensign Labs, the dedicated in-house R&D team of Ensign, continuously innovate and embed AI into cyber solutions, delivering data-driven and threat-informed defence solutions to detect, response, and protect against sophisticated and malicious cyberattacks.

A Platinum sponsor at the inaugural Milipol AsiaPacific – TechX Summit 2024, Ensign demonstrates its commitment to combating homeland cybersecurity challenges through its AI-powered services in tackling cybercrimes. Leveraging Ensign’s in-house AI-engine, Ensign’s offerings are able to monitor and detect new unknown threats based on behavioural patterns to generate contextualised alerts. Designed by Ensign Labs, this AI-engine is made up by a collection of patented algorithms and novel techniques that ingests and makes sense of petabytes of varied data.

Among the solutions presented, the Phishing and Deepfake Detection solution stands out as Ensign’s main showcase. Characterised by deception and manipulation, the insidious nature of phishing threats persistently undermines both citizens’ and the nation’s security. To tackle scammers and phishing attempts, Ensign developed an AI machine learning detection system that analyses and flags email addresses and embedded URLs that attempt to mimic legitimate domain names (full domain phishing); slightly alter or misspell domain names to trick recipients (typo-squatting); or use characters similar to legitimate ones to deceive the eye (homoglyph attacks). With a detection rate exceeding 90% for phishing attacks and campaigns, this deep learning detection system utilises generative adversarial neural networks, image recognition algorithms, transformer neural networks and behavioural-based analysis to combat sophisticated phishing attempts.

In recent years, the tactics of scammers, particularly in the area of phishing, have shapeshifted to a combination of social engineering techniques and deepfake technology – deepfake phishing. This is particularly dangerous as deepfake technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and accessible with the advent of AI tools. Recognising the emerging threats posed by deepfakes, Ensign adopted a two-pronged approach to address them: generating deepfakes to understand and expose their flaws; then deploying sophisticated detection mechanisms to identify and mitigate these advanced deceptions.

“Cybercriminals do not discriminate, and as cyber threats evolve, anyone can become a target. The fight against cybercrime is becoming increasingly complex, making the traditional cyber defence playbook insufficient. At Ensign, our commitment to continuous innovation keeps us ahead in this game. Through Ensign Labs, we integrate AI into various aspects of our cyber solutions. This results in data-driven and threat-informed defence strategies, ensuring the resilience and security of Singapore’s cyberspace. Our efforts extend to protecting our clients’ systems and data, thereby contributing to the nation’s long-term prosperity,” said Ms. Tammie Tham, Group Chief Executive Officer of Ensign InfoSecurity.

The Phishing and Deepfake Detection solution is part of a broader suite of AI-powered cybersecurity solutions showcasing at Milipol AsiaPacific – TechX Summit 2024. To find out more, please visit booth 1835, between 3rd and 5th April, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.

United Arab Emirates (UAE), Apr 3, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Capital.com, the high-growth global trading platform and fintech group whose trading volumes surpassed USD$1trn in 2023, has announced that it is joining the UAE’s #NextGenFDI initiative for digitally-enabled businesses as it opens a new subsidiary, Capital Com MENA Securities Trading LLC (Capital Com MENA), based in the UAE. The new entity will be the operating headquarters for the region as the firm consolidates its position in the UAE market and as it looks to expand across MENA and Asia. The announcement comes after the company last week received full regulatory approval from the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).

Kypros Zoumidou, Group Chief Executive Officer, Capital.com, said:

“Capital.com’s foray into the UAE marks an important development in our global growth trajectory. As a cutting edge fintech company regulated across multiple jurisdictions, the UAE was a natural choice for our first subsidiary in the region. With its business-friendly ecosystem, supportive market-entry requirements, flourishing knowledge-based economy, and perfect location as a base for wider expansion, the UAE continues to cement its position as a dynamic tech hub for innovative companies with global ambitions. We look forward to joining the #NextGenFDI community.”

HE Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, said:

“The UAE is attracting world-class technology companies with bold growth plans and global ambitions. These businesses recognise that the UAE offers not just one of the most vibrant ecosystems in the world, but also serves as an access point to expanding regional economies and the high-growth markets of Asia and Africa. Our #NextGenFDI programme continues to draw top global firms and is becoming an essential pillar as the UAE seeks to attract capital in all its forms – technological, human and financial. Companies like Capital.com are helping us to secure our position as one of the world’s most dynamic, future-focused global hubs.”

Capital.com is set to become a leading member of the UAE’s #NextGenFDI Programme, a government-led initiative enabling cutting-edge companies from around the world to establish and expand their operations in the UAE.

NextGenTalent brought together 5,000 students from Emirati universities to learn essential advanced technology skills from industry leaders from the likes of META, Oracle, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Stripe. Under the NextGen FDI Programme, Capital.com will not only benefit from the UAE’s robust tech ecosystem, but also its deep talent pool. Capital.com was also one of the sponsors of the Ministry of Economy’s activities at the inaugural COP 28 Trade Day last December.

Located in Emirates Tower in Dubai, Capital Com MENA will be headed by Tarik Chebib, CEO of Capital.com, Middle East. Commenting on the newly acquired SCA license Mr Chebib, said:

“SCA applies enhanced levels of regulation to the UAE securities market, making it one of the most comprehensive and well-respected regulators in the world.The approval of our licence affirms our commitment to meet the highest compliance standards worldwide, marking yet another important milestone in the strategic development of Capital.com as a fast-growing, regulated trading platform. Known for our award-winning UX, trading education support and transparent pricing, we are excited to bring our services to the dynamic, tech-savvy UAE market. We also plan to harness technology to promote greater financial literacy across the MENA region, helping traders develop their understanding of financial markets and make better informed decisions-this is central to our DNA.”

Tarik Chebib, CEO, Middle East, Capital.com

Capital.com’s foray into the UAE is supported by the company’s strong growth results in recent years.

Tianneng Power: Solid Promotion of New Energy Construction and Technological Innovation Leading Industrial Upgrade

HONG KONG, Apr 3, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – 2023 is a year full of opportunities and challenges. Tianneng Power International Limited (“Tianneng Power” or the “Company”) closely follows the national “Dual Carbon” strategy, adheres to the three-wheel drive of “industry, technology, and capital”, coordinates development and security, faces difficulties, and advances against the trend, breaking through waves in the high-quality development path, and solidly promotes the construction of the new energy industry. The Group upholds the concept of green and sustainable development and adheres to the full lifecycle management of new energy batteries. During the year ended 31 December 2023 (the “Reporting Period”), the comprehensive revenue was approximately RMB 83.891 billion, an increase of approximately 12.46% compared to the revenue in the previous year. Among them, the cornerstone business of the high-end eco-friendly battery business of the Group recorded an operating income of approximately RMB42,423 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 18.68%. Profit attributable to Shareholders increased by approximately 1.42% to approximately RMB 1.822 billion. The basic earnings per share increased to approximately RMB 1.62.

The Company has always been involved in the development of the world’s new energy industry with a global perspective, and fully utilizes its own advantages to seize opportunities and explore the market. In 2023, we established offices in the Netherlands, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, signed cooperation agreements with more than 20 overseas distributors, and simultaneously expanded our terminal store layout. We established a global research and development (“R&D”) center and a global resource integration center, and worked together with global industrial chain partners to enter the fast lane of overseas business.

Excellent Performance in Main Business Collaboration and Progress

The Company’s main business covers three major sectors, including high-end eco-friendly batteries, new energy batteries, and recycling industries.

As the Company’s largest main business, high-end eco-friendly batteries achieved a revenue of approximately RMB 42,423 million throughout the year, with a year-on-year increase of approximately 18.68%. Among them, motive lead-acid batteries achieved a revenue of approximately RMB 39.152 billion, with a year-on-year increase of approximately 19.32%. Lead-acid batteries have a long history of application in the battery industry, and their stability and reliability have been verified in light electric vehicles and multiple other application fields. As a leader in the lead-acid battery industry, Tianneng leads the key technology of the entire life cycle of lead-acid batteries and has built the industry’s first intelligent factory with a full industry chain, committed to becoming a pioneer and practitioner of the ecological model of the lead-acid battery industry.

In addition, the Company also vigorously develops its new energy battery business, focusing on the R&D, production, and sales of next-generation battery products such as lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and sodium-ion batteries. The Company achieved a revenue of approximately RMB 882 million throughout the year. With deep accumulation in the new energy battery manufacturing industry, we have further improved our energy storage strategy layout. In 2023, Tianneng Power’s Phase I project of South Taihu Lake Lithium-ion Battery Base with 6GWh capacity in Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, has been put into operation successfully, and the reserve capacity is ready to be launched. The Company has successfully applied 5 air-cooled modules and 4 liquid cooled modules for two types of lithium-ion batteries, and completed relevant national standards and UL certification. While strengthening technological R&D, the Company is constantly accelerating its market layout and striving to expand its customer base in various application fields of energy storage. Within the year, the Datang Lubei 200MWh energy storage power station was successfully connected to the grid, and a pilot project for the new shared energy storage power station system was signed in Jinchang City, Gansu Province. An energy storage strategic cooperation agreement was also signed with Vietnam BEIN Co., Ltd.

As the world’s largest producer and consumer of lead-acid battery, China’s lead-acid battery recycling industry is showing a steady growth trend. According to data, the amount of discarded lead-acid batteries in China in 2023 was approximately 6 million tons, an increase of 200,000 tons or approximately 3.44% compared to 2022. Tianneng Power has established two major circular economy ecosystems for lead-acid battery and lithium-ion battery, actively fulfilling the extended producer responsibility system, vigorously developing the circular economy, and building a battery full life cycle ecological industry chain that integrates “recycling, smelting, reproduction”, finding a green and eco-friendly treatment mode for the large number of retired motive batteries.

During the reporting period, the Group’s recycling business achieved operating income of approximately RMB 3.60 billion, of which the lead-acid battery recycling business achieved external operating income of approximately RMB 3.069 billion. Since 2009, the Company has been expanding its lead-acid battery recycling business and has obtained recycling pilot qualifications in 15 provinces across the country. The Company has also established battery recycling pilot companies in 22 provinces and cities, and has over 500,000 battery recycling outlets nationwide, establishing a standardized and effective recycling system. Tianneng Power has built four major green circular economy industrial parks with an annual disposal capacity of 1 million tons of waste lead-acid batteries.

Continuously Deepening Industrial Layout and Improving Efficiency in Operation

In 2024, Tianneng Power will deepen its industrial layout, strengthen R&D innovation, further enhance its core competitiveness, and lay a solid foundation for the stable and long-term development of the enterprise. At the same time, the Company will continue to actively respond to the national initiative to jointly build the “the Belt and Road”, continue to advance the globalization strategy in depth, speed up the pace of “going out”, build a global manufacturing center, continue to promote overseas localization strategy, spare no effort to expand new business, and strengthen the influence of the Tianneng brand in the field of new energy overseas.

In the new year, Tianneng Power will continue to deepen its three main businesses, with high-end eco-friendly batteries as its core business, vigorously develop energy storage solutions that combine multiple technological routes of lead, lithium, hydrogen, and sodium, and rely on the construction of battery cycle systems and green intelligent manufacturing upgrades to build a green development ecosystem. In the cornerstone business of lead-acid batteries, Tianneng will achieve steady growth in revenue and sales in 2024, continue to maintain market competitiveness and price advantages, and increase market share. The energy storage industry, as the second growth curve of the Company, Tianneng Power will implement a differentiated competitive route and strive to be a leader in segmented markets. Comprehensively integrating all aspects of the energy storage industry, driving products with technology, promoting the application of energy storage solutions in more scenarios, and creating market competitive advantages. In terms of recycling industry, Tianneng Power will strengthen industrial planning, focus on the vertical integration layout of “battery intelligent manufacturing, recycling, and disposal”, further improve the recycling network, enhance the comprehensive disposal capacity of batteries, explore new paths for efficient resource utilization, and promote new development.

Against the backdrop of global energy transformation and adherence to the “Dual Carbon” goals, Tianneng will uphold the development philosophy of green, innovation, and openness, adhere to the principle of “customer-centric and market-oriented”, and become a leading global green energy solution provider.

Global Sports Brand U.S. Polo Assn. Delivers Record $2.4 Billion in Retail Sales for 2023, Targets $3 Billion and 1,500 U.S. Polo Assn. Stores

West Palm Beach, FL, Apr 2, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – USPA Global has announced that U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), has delivered a record $2.4 billion in global retail sales in 2023.

The global sports brand’s record growth is the result of expanding its existing sizeable footprint across all regions around the world. U.S. Polo Assn. has seen a balanced growth strategy with significantly increased market share in more mature markets, such as North America and Western Europe, while delivering exponential growth in emerging markets such as Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and India. In fact, the brand is targeting to become a billion-dollar business in India alone, as U.S. Polo Assn. is an international power brand and the top-selling casual menswear brand in the country.

The brand’s footprint is a fast-growing presence across 190 countries, with over 1,100 U.S. Polo Assn. retail stores and thousands of wholesale locations spanning department stores, sporting goods channels, and independent retailers, as well as e-commerce. U.S. Polo Assn. continues to climb the retail ranks as one of the largest global licensed sports brands in the world, ranking in the top five alongside the NFL, MLB, and NBA, according to License Global.

U.S. Polo Assn.’s strong execution has relied on a global focus regarding the brand’s worldwide store expansion. The brand has grown its global fleet to more than 1,100 U.S. Polo Assn. stores, targeting over 1,500 in the next several years. For 2023, new stores and existing strategic stores around the world have been enhanced with a more elevated brand and sports concept, providing consumers with an authentic experience when engaging with the brand.

U.S. Polo Assn. also built on its successful digital strategies to generate record growth in e-commerce with some 50 brand sites in 20 languages in 2023. U.S. Polo Assn. continues to grow its digital presence and global momentum on social media, with some 8 million followers worldwide.

“Our global team and strategic partners around the world delivered another record financial performance in 2023 while also achieving many major milestones across our product lines and global expansion efforts,” noted J. Michael Prince, President & CEO of USPA Global. “We continue to execute our aggressive product, store, digital, and international growth strategies to further expand our global footprint in key cities and markets worldwide, while also increasing the overall interest in the sport of polo.”

Prince added, “Despite the many challenges over the past several years facing global retail, U.S. Polo Assn. was able to exceed our goal of $2 billion three years early and has set a target to hit $3 billion and 1,500 U.S. Polo Assn. stores in the near future.”

True to the heritage of the brand, U.S. Polo Assn. maintains a strong connection to the sport of polo. By signing a recent landmark multi-year global deal with ESPN, the thrilling sport now has exposure to a massive global audience, extending to many parts of the world with reach to millions of households and multiple digital channels. The sport’s iconic U.S. Open Polo Championship®, which is broadcast by ESPN, now sits alongside the elite company of The Masters and Kentucky Derby as one of the country’s most prestigious spring sporting events.

In addition, the USPA now owns the USPA National Polo Center (NPC), the sport’s premier destination in North America. The 2024 American High-Goal Polo Season has brought record crowds and sellout Sundays, with the best polo in the world from January-April. Nestled in beautiful Palm Beach County, Florida, this outstanding venue spans 160 acres, encompassing multiple grass polo fields, fine dining, tennis courts, stadium seating, a swimming pool, and the NPC Retail Shop. Exciting updates to the world-class facility are slated for 2025.

“We continue to seek avenues and partnerships to expand into new global markets, as well as new and innovative areas of business. The combination of these factors, alongside our authentic connection to the sport of polo and outstanding global brand marketing, is the key to our global success,” Prince adds. “I am optimistic about the U.S. Polo Assn. global business maintaining its leadership position among its industry peers while gaining market share and our ability to reach over $3 billion in worldwide sales and 1,500 U.S. Polo Assn. retail stores in the coming years.”

“Today, I am proud to say that our U.S. Polo Assn. global ecosystem is comprehensive of both the brand and the sport, with our $2.4 billion global sport-inspired brand, a global sports content platform with ESPN, and ownership of NPC, one of the sport’s most beautiful and prestigious venues,” concludes Prince.
