Gate.io Supports Children In New Charity Campaign for UNICEF

Gate.io Supports Children In New Charity Campaign for UNICEF

Gate.io, one of the world’s leading digital asset exchanges, has launched a new charitable social media campaign in support of children worldwide. The campaign aims to rally the Twitter community to support UNICEF in making the world safer and more equitable for children.

Gate.io extends its core brand values of inclusivity, security, and stability into its philanthropic endeavours. The company is at the forefront of the digital asset space, with traders, investors, and creators buoyed in the pursuit of building a more open, financially fair, and equitable world. However, going beyond this pursuit, the company believes everyone worldwide deserves a safe and stable environment to grow, especially those most vulnerable such as children. As a result, Gate.io chose UNICEF as the recipient for this campaign to generate a lasting positive impact.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) provides humanitarian and developmental aid for children worldwide, working to save lives and support children in reaching their full potential. In 2019 it launched the UNICEF CryptoFund, welcoming donors like Gate.io who want to make cryptocurrency contributions.

Charity efforts from Gate.io do not start or end here. Previous initiatives, such as the ‘Love Travels, Love Nurtures’ initiative, brought $18.5 million of educational support to over 200 schools across Asia. The company is committed to improving the world around us by providing top-tier digital asset services and generating positive impact through philanthropy.

Making The World a Better Place

Utilizing the power of the crypto community for charity, Gate.io launched the ‘A Brand New Gateio’ campaign on May 30th, coinciding with its 9th-anniversary celebrations. Ending on June 21st, the campaign aims to support one of the world’s most pressing humanitarian causes, calling on users from across Twitter to participate. For every valid retweet of its new logo video using the hashtag #BrandNewGateio, Gate.io will donate $0.01. The total amount donated will be limited to 1 BTC, equivalent to 4 million retweets.

To join Gate.io in making the world a better place, follow the official Gate.io Twitter account (@Gate_io), search for, and retweet the new Gate.io logo video using the hashtag #BrandNewGateio.

CogniFiber Hits Landmark Interface Speed, Enabling 5X Faster AI Computing Than the Leading Photonics Solution

Cognifiber’s photonics breakthrough brings closer the reality of AI deployments. “Our current results are outstanding, demonstrating capabilities to support future scalability and sustainability of data centers and edge computing,” said Dr. Eyal Cohen, Co-founder & CEO of CogniFiber.

Tel Aviv, Israel – CogniFiber, a deep technology company revolutionizing photonic computing, announced an interface data injection landmark in its product integration tests. CogniFiber’s approach implements direct analog neuromorphic photonic computing (“pure-photonics”), removing all bottlenecks from AI inference so that the task speed is limited only by the input clock.

Demonstrating capabilities 40% beyond initial projections, their soon to be launched pure-photonic system is expected to reach a staggering speed of 100 million tasks per second, far surpassing NVIDIA’s DGX A100’s estimated 5 million tasks per second or Lightmatter’s Envise Server of 24 million tasks per second (est.*). These capabilities, in conjunction with a modest power consumption, allow companies to deploy powerful computing resources, boasting just shy of 350 thousand tasks per watt. As traditional silicon-based semiconductor developers work to fit ever-more transistors into a small chip to boost processing power, data centers and hyperscalers are left managing high costs due to lower reliability, high power consumption, and cooling constraints.

To address these needs, CogniFiber developed a full solution based on proprietary fiber-based technology together with standard optical communication devices. This requires a fraction of the space to achieve similar computing power, while significantly reducing cooling and operational overhead. “Our initial findings are outstanding, displaying the capabilities to support the mega data centers of tomorrow,” said Dr. Eyal Cohen, Co-founder & CEO of CogniFiber. “Operating at room temperature without dissipating significant heat to its surroundings means data centers can offer customers greater uptime reliability with lower cost.”

The push for miniaturization of today’s servers is allowing engineers to begin processing large pools of IoT and AI data in record time in a cost-effective manner. This also holds commercial implications for businesses who want to have on-prem or localized servers that take up less space. “Our new approach to developing and harnessing large data processing capabilities allows for companies to begin bringing AI and Machine Learning capabilities to the edge of their networks,” said Professor Zeev Zalevsky, Co-founder & CTO of Cognifiber.

Beyond computing capabilities, power consumption has been a top-of-mind issue for data centers for years. As demand grows, operators are under the microscope regarding the environmental impact of their operations as they invest heavily in the energy needed to cool and operate thousands of advanced servers. CogniFiber’s pure-photonics systems and their reduced energy demands show great promise in reducing global greenhouse emissions while continuing to provide the advanced capabilities needed for tomorrow’s technologies.

Rani Kehat CISO & VP Business Development at Radiflow (1)

Radiflow Awarded Two Global InfoSec Awards at RSA 2022

Global InfoSec awarded Radiflow with the Editor’s Choice Breach & Attack Simulation and Editor’s Choice ICS/SCADA Security awards. “We are honored by Cyber Defense Magazine’s recognition as we strive to make these technologies the industry standard,” said Ilan Barda, Founder & CEO of Radiflow.

Radiflow, a leading Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity provider operating throughout North America and EMEA, was awarded two prestigious InfoSec awards by Cyber Defense Magazine. Reflecting their specialized OT-focused cybersecurity capabilities, the first award is the Editor’s Choice Breach & Attack Simulation, with the second being Editor’s Choice ICS/SCADA Security awards.

Over the last decade, Radiflow has worked closely with OT facility managers, supply chain managers, and at critical infrastructure sites to protect their assets as they are brought online. As technologies developed, they were faced with increased complexity due to a patchwork of both legacy and state-of-the-art machinery needing to be secured on the same network within a fully operational facility. Operating obsolete technology that no longer receives critical bug patches or cybersecurity updates demanded that Ilan Barda, CEO of Radiflow, and his team develop IT-proven techniques, such as the ability for CISOs and cybersecurity teams to conduct virtual breach attack simulations to be ready for potential attacks without impeding facility operations.

Beyond the new technologies that are being implemented by Radiflow, their approach in drilling down into the potential financial impact of an attack is empowering CISOs to work ever-closer with the executive board. “We are honored by Cyber Defense Magazine’s recognition as we strive to make these technologies the industry standard,” said Barda. “We have seen firsthand that CISOs need more tools to protect their facilities as new attacks seem to bombard them and their industry daily.

Their decade-long focus on managing control systems (ICS) and supervisory control data acquisition (SCADA) has placed them in an ideal position to meet the new cybersecurity demands of the Biden Administration in the US regarding critical infrastructure. “Radiflow embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

As Radiflow continues its global expansion, it has also caught the attention of the Sabanci Group, who recently acquired a 51% stake in Radiflow with a planned full 100% acquisition by 2025. This acquisition provides Radiflow with a unique position in the OT security market. By leveraging the extensive industrial footprint of the Sabanci Group, Radiflow plans to optimize further its OT security offering to continue securing facilities and infrastructure around the globe.
