MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the opening of Kaspersky Lab's first Transparency Center in Zurich, enabling authorised partners to access reviews of the company's code, software updates and threat detection rules, along with other activities. Kaspersky Lab CEO, Eugene Kaspersky Through the Transparency Center, Kaspersky Lab will provide governments and partners with information on its products and their security, including essential and important technical documentation, for external evaluation in a secure environment.

In addition, there are strict regulations on processing data requests received from authorities. Eugene Kaspersky, CEO Kaspersky Lab said: "Transparency is becoming the new normal for the IT industry -- and for the cybersecurity industry in particular. We are proud to be on the front line of this process. As a technological company, we are focused on ensuring the best IT infrastructure for the security of our products and data, and the relocation of key parts of our infrastructure to Switzerland places them in one of the most secure locations in the world. The promises made in our Global Transparency Initiative are coming to fruition, enhancing the resilience and visibility of our products. Through the new Transparency Center -- a first in the cybersecurity industry -- also in Switzerland, trusted partners and governments will be able to see external reviews of our products and make up their own minds. We believe that steps such as these are just the beginning -- for the company and for the security industry as a whole. The need to prove trustworthiness will soon become an industry standard." General Manager of ANZ, Margrith Appleby adds, "Privacy is a fundamental right for all businesses and consumers. Kaspersky Lab is a company that sits high on its values of fair dealing, customer protection and public safety.

Perfect World CEO Dr. Robert H. Xiao attends the 2018 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province
Dr. Robert H. Xiao delivered a keynote speech about the internet and cultural exchanges during the event. WUZHEN, China, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The 5th World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, China between November 7th and 9th, 2018. The event brought together 1,500 distinguished guests around the world who discussed and exchanged their opinions on several topics, including fostering of innovation, cybersecurity and cultural exchanges, with the aim of furthering the development of global digitalization and creating a sustainable digital world. At the invitation of the organizers, Perfect World's CEO, Dr. Robert H. Xiao, attended the event as the representative of innovative Chinese enterprises, and delivered a keynote speech at the Cross-Strait & Hong Kong and Macao Internet Development Forum, giving a detailed presentation on how to promote cultural exchanges between the regions in the internet age. "The internet has created brand-new conditions for cultural exchanges. The development of internet technologies has brought new opportunities for international cultural exchanges," said Dr. Robert H. Xiao in his speech. "On one hand, the internet has become an important medium for cultural exchanges and can enable faster, broader and more efficient cultural communication by going beyond the limitation of both time and space. The enabling effect of the internet is significant, paving the way for better communication of culture via digital products and technologies. On the other hand, the internet has spurred the creation of new internet-based cultural formats that are ideal for the medium of the internet, including online games, literature, music and videos, significantly expanding the dimensions of cultural exchanges." The gaming, film and television sectors have grown rapidly over the past few years and are pioneering international cultural exchanges by leveraging the power of the internet. Perfect World is not only the most iconic Chinese company to integrate the film and gaming business segments but also one of the Chinese innovation firms in cultural-oriented industry that has been among the first to expand into global markets. Notably, Perfect World has explored unique methods for engaging in cultural exchanges and innovation as the company expands beyond its home market. According to Dr. Robert H. Xiao, entertainment products created by Perfect World fully integrate traditional and contemporary as well as local and international elements, in addition to technology and content. With a focus on a two-way strategy that embraces not only telling China's story abroad but also bringing to China some of the best that the world has to offer, the company has created premium entertainment products that have become popular worldwide by integrating global resources, which, in turn, promotes Chinese culture to the world and facilitates cultural exchanges between different civilizations. Citing an example, Shadow, a new martial arts film directed by well-known Chinese director Zhang Yimou, is a combination of numerous Chinese elements, including traditional Chinese ink paintings, classical Chinese aesthetics, compositions of pure folk music and the traditional Chinese philosophy of the Yin-Yang binary opposition. Furthermore, Shadow delivers a refreshing viewing experience by integrating modern aesthetics. As a result, the film has received rave reviews among international movie critics immediately after making its debut at this year's Venice International Film Festival. The film also received 12 nominations at the 55th Golden Horse Awards.

Anonos BigPrivacy, the First GDPR Certified Technology, is Presenting at The European Big Data Forum About Maximising Legal and Compliant Big Data Val
VIENNA, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Anonos (www.anonos.com), announced today that it is presenting at The European Big Data Value Forum ("EBDV") in Vienna Austria. Anonos' certified BigPrivacy technology overcomes the shortcomings of other solutions that were "good enough" before the GDPR, but fail to support new requirements to embed data protection into the data to enable compliant decentralized processing, repurposing, combination and sharing of Big Data. "It was an honor and a privilege to be asked by the European Commission to present on 'Technical Solutions for GDPR Compliance' as part of the European Big Data Value Forum," said Gary LaFever, Co-Founder & CEO of Anonos. "The GDPR is not intended to stop Big Data processing, but rather, to make Big Data processing safe. Anonos' BigPrivacy technology is the first platform that achieves GDPR-compliant and safe Big Data processing (Anonos technology was recently certified by EuroPrivacy as satisfying GDPR requirements for Pseudonymisation). Other technology vendors have - for decades - been focused on building "frictionless" systems that rely primarily on external controls in the form of contracts, policies and terms of service (TOS) to protect data. In contrast, Anonos' BigPrivacy technology was architected from the ground up to anticipate and enforce necessary "friction" in the form of embedded data protection by design and by default controls, which are necessary to satisfy GDPR technical and organizational safeguards for enabling safe Big Data processing. BigPrivacy is architected to enable data to come into and out of systems and processes in a manner that allows collaborative Big Data processing in a safe, privacy-respectful, legal and compliant manner." Anonos' BigPrivacy technology was recently highlighted in the IDC report entitled "Anonos' SaveYourData — a EuroPrivacy Certified Solution – 'Deep Freezes' Enterprises' Existing Personal Data Sets as They Plan Analytics Strategies," and has been recognized as a Gartner "Cool Vendor" for state-of-the-art privacy management technology. The European Big Data Value Forum is a key European event for industry professionals, business developers, researchers, and policy makers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the data economy and data-driven innovation in Europe. Keynotes and presentations range from cutting-edge Big Data applications, artificial intelligence, innovative business cases, inspiring future visions, and insights on EU policy-making and research and development and invitation funding. Anonos Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Gary LaFever, is a panelist presenting on "Technical Solutions for GDPR Compliance" at the European Big Data Value Forum at 11:15 a.m. CET on 13th November at the Austria Centre Vienna. The European Big Data Forum website (https://www.european-big-data-value-forum.eu/program/technical-solutions-for-gdpr-compliance/) describes the panel as follows: "The entry into application of the General Data Protection Regulation on 25 May 2018 has been a wake-up call for many companies to re-examine their data handling practices. Such examination took place against a growing interest in data processing in light of the promises of 'Big Data', data-driven innovation and artificial intelligence (AI). In this session, speakers shall present solutions for ensuring compliance of business processes involving the processing of personal data from a technical perspective. There cannot be a one-tool-solves-it all approach. Different use cases require the processing of personal data in different ways preserving individuals' privacy. Anonymisation and aggregation of data can lead to useful data for certain purposes but not for others. Sometimes individuals' consent will be necessary. In many situations, it won't. Pseudonymisation in combination with specific legal grounds for processing can be sufficient. This session presents technical approaches taken by companies and organisations in order to ensure compliance with data protection legislation." About Anonos Anonos technology reconciles conflicts between protecting the rights of individuals and achieving business objectives to use, share, combine and relink data in a compliant manner. Anonos' patented dynamic pseudonymisation, de-identification and anonymisation technology enables sharing, collaboration, and analytics of personal data by technologically enforcing dynamic, fine-grained privacy, security and data protection policies in compliance with the GDPR and other evolving regulations. BigPrivacy overcomes the shortcoming of other solutions that were "good enough" before the GDPR but fail to support new requirements for compliant Big Data analytics & AI. A blueprint for GDPR Data Safe Havens is available at anonos.com/blueprint. Compliance controls alone do not unlock Big Data value. Big Data innovation requires embedding BigPrivacy-enabled Data Safe Havens that protect data when in use for compliant decentralized processing, repurposing, combination and sharing. If organizations are not using BigPrivacy-enabled Data Safe Havens, they are not maximizing Big Data value under the GDPR and evolving data protection regulations. Global 500 companies can contact anonos.com/contact to receive a consultation about leveraging Anonos' proprietary technology to maximize the compliant value of Big Data strategies.

Thailand's National Innovation Agency in Collaboration with True Digital Park Unveils Bangkok Cybertech District as a Global Centre for High Tech
First Startup Thailand Centre also scheduled to open at True Digital Park inside Bangkok CyberTech District BANGKOK, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Innovation Agency (NIA) of Thailand and True Digital Park announced the launch of Bangkok CyberTech District, an innovation district based in the Punnawithi area of Bangkok. The neighbourhood is set to provide a major comprehensive startup ecosystem for both domestic and international startups while proactively positioning Thailand as a global hub for digital innovation. Thailand’s National Innovation Agency in Collaboration with True Digital Park Unveils Bangkok Cybertech District as a Global Centre for High Technology and Innovation Dr. Suwit Maesincee, Minister of Science and Technology, said, "As the pace of technology accelerates and global startup rates are surging, the National Innovation Agency under Ministry of Science and Technology of Thailand has been establishing pilot innovation districts in Bangkok and other provinces across the country. These districts are aimed at creating technology-centric ecosystems that offer startup firms full support on business administrative aspects and clustering them to facilitate long-term economic development and productivity. The NIA, as assigned by the ministry, will take responsibility for implementing a strategic plan to promote the area-based innovation that contributes to economic growth through solutions and new opportunities that allow startups to better compete in the global market, and forge partnerships with private sectors for several projects that help improve the country's competitiveness." Mr. Thanasorn Jaidee, President of True Digital Park, revealed, "True Group is committed to developing innovation and amenities that help Thailand achieve its digitalization mission. Following the Digital Thailand government policy, the partnership between True Group and the National Innovation Agency reflects strong cooperation between the public and private sectors in transforming the ever-growing Punnawithi zone in Bangkok into a digital-centric lifestyle centre and an open innovation platform that will drive the country towards Thailand 4.0." "Bangkok CyberTech District will bring together capital, knowledge and talents to help businesses thrive and be able to compete globally. At Bangkok CyberTech District in Punnawithi zone, corporates and startups will be exposed to amazing talents and inspiring figures from around the globe to foster knowledge-sharing and digital innovation within an ideal environment. We are certain that this designated area will be a game-changer for Thailand's economy and become a world's centre for digital innovation," Mr. Thanasorn added. Powered by True Digital Park, Bangkok CyberTech District looks to attract global tech giants that aim to set up their offices or experience centres in Thailand, as well as startups and entrepreneurs focusing on IoT, Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, e-Commerce, Creative Content, Gaming, FinTech, AgriTech, HealthTech and more. The hub is projected to become home to leading accelerators, incubators, VCs and investors from the around the world, initiating programs and workshops that harness startup businesses while empowering startup community at the regional level. The government's one-stop service centres will also be established within the district to support corporates and startups, and provide a range of services to attract foreign investors to Thailand. The President of True Digital Park continued, "Bangkok CyberTech District's strategic location is one of the major factors that will contribute to its continued growth. Punnawithi is one of the best places to start a tech business at in Southeast Asia. For the past few years, the area has seen a rising number of real estate development, residences, office buildings and shopping complexes, resulting in an increase of working and residential population -- both Thai and foreigners. The neighbourhood is also a major access point to various transportation options and main roads, such as the Sukhumvit-Line SkyTrain and Sukhumvit Road." The National Innovation Agency also collaborates with Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) and True Digital Park to concurrently establish Startup Thailand Centre on a 200 square-metre space of True Digital Park inside Bangkok CyberTech District. The centre will provide diverse services and benefits as well as facilities to attract startups, investors and talents from around the world to invest and set up their business operations in Thailand. The Startup Thailand Centre will include co-working space, event space, private offices and a special platform to promote and support new startups. Bangkok CyberTech District is intended to attract startups mostly from Singapore, Japan and China. NIA expects that Thailand will have welcomed over 1,000 startups and develop more than 5,000 professionals and experts by 2021, which will contribute to better employment opportunities, long-term economic growth, and an improved perspective of Thailand's contribution to the global digital landscape. To reinforce Bangkok CyberTech District's position in the global smart city community, representatives from NIA and True Digital Park are scheduled to attend Smart City Expo World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, Spain on 13-15 November 2018. Both agencies will promote awareness on Bangkok CyberTech District as the most comprehensive startup ecosystem in the Southeast Asian region that powers Thailand to become a global hub for digital innovation, as well as gain a holistic understanding and critical reflection of different smart cities all over the world.

XM Cyber Closes $22 Million in Series A Funding
Cybersecurity Disruptor will Use New Investment to Fuel Continuous Growth and Innovation HERZLIYA, Israel, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- XM Cyber, multi-award winning provider of the first fully automated APT simulation and remediation platform, today announced that it has closed a $22 million Series A funding round with the participation of Macquarie Capital, Nasdaq Ventures, Our Innovation Fund, LP and UST Global, among others. The company has now raised a total of $32 million, following a previous seed round of $10 million from Swarth Group. XM Cyber will use the funding to accelerate its strong growth through expanded sales, marketing and engineering programs. The company, a leader in the "Breach and Attack Simulation" category, has already received 16 industry awards this year on the strength of its HaXM platform, including being recognized as a "Technology Pioneer" by the World Economic Forum. XM Cyber's customers include leading financial institutions and critical infrastructure organizations across North America, Europe, Israel and Australia. "In this era of hyper-sophisticated cybercrime, our solution demonstrates that organizations should be asking themselves 'Are my critical assets really secure?' as there is a plethora of ways hackers can compromise them," said XM Cyber CEO and Co-Founder Noam Erez. "2018 has been an incredible year for XM Cyber, and this funding round will help us expand our footprint in 2019. We are grateful to our investors for this vote of confidence and look forward to their continued strong support." Even when an organization has deployed and configured modern security controls, hackers can infiltrate the network in a wide variety of ways to compromise critical assets. They capitalize on human errors such as misconfigurations, shadow IT and faulty security practices, and use attack techniques and methods that circumvent cyber defenses -- often by employing legitimate tools and leveraging real user behavior. HaXM continuously leverages a multitude of offensive methods to rapidly expose the most critical blind spots and uncover hidden attack vectors. It then provides data-driven remediation focused on the organization's critical assets, thus reducing the company's IT risk and enabling it to optimize its cyber resources. In effect, HaXM operates as an automated purple team that fluidly combines red and blue teams' processes. "As cyber-threats continue to evolve, we believe XM Cyber is addressing an important need, particularly for financial services and market infrastructure companies," said Gary Offner, Head of Nasdaq Ventures. "We believe our investment in XM Cyber will help continue new developments in advancing breach simulation and detection technology and processes. This is an important, developing area of cyber security innovation and we're pleased to be supporting its growth and expansion." "We are proud to be part of this round of funding, coming at a critical juncture in XM Cyber's rapid expansion," said UST Global Chief Cyber Officer Yuval Wollman. "This investment includes a strategic sales and integration agreement with CyberProof, UST's managed security services subsidiary, to manage cyber risk as a measured outcome. The joint solution will appeal to many of our clients who are seeking to cost-effectively reduce their cyber risk exposure." About XM® Cyber XM Cyber provides the first fully automated APT simulation platform to continuously expose attack vectors, above and below the surface, from breach point to any organizational critical asset. This continuous loop of automated red teaming is completed by ongoing and prioritized actionable remediation of security gaps. In effect, HaXM® by XM Cyber operates as an automated purple team that fluidly combines red team and blue team processes to ensure that organizations are always one step ahead of the attack. XM Cyber was founded by the highest caliber of security executives from the elite Israeli intelligence sector. Together they bring a proven track record in both the offensive and defensive cyber security domain. The company has offices in the US, Israel and Australia.
