KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2024 – Octa, a financial broker with globally recognised licenses, celebrates its 13th birthday this summer. In some cultures, the number 13 has a special significance. For example, the Chinese omit the thirteenth floor in multi-level buildings as unlucky. The Japanese, on the other hand, associate this number with good fortune. In a series of three articles, the experts at Octa will share 13 time-proven and well-tested tips—one for each year of the broker’s successful track record in the financial markets. These recommendations aim to help improve trading outcomes and progress towards financial goals. The number 13 may or may not possess supernatural qualities, but following these 13 recommendations will very likely bring better results in trading!

Below is the first of three articles. In this series, the experts at Octa share 13 practical recommendations based on the broker’s 13 years of experience in the market.

The first article outlines five crucial elements that will help form a firm foundation for trading success.

1. Acquiring theoretical knowledge to unlock new practical opportunities

Octa continuously studies its clients’ experiences to gain first-hand insights into the traders’ minds and finetune its products and services to their demands. A vast majority of Octa’s clients who achieved consistent profits indicate continuous learning as one of the cornerstones of their success. They read trading content online, sign up for dedicated educational courses, and study the strategies of professional traders to keep up with the best practices.

Another factor of success that many emerging traders underestimate is having a fluent knowledge of basic financial concepts. For example, learn to calculate potential profits and losses for a given order based on the lot price and spread amount to be able to use risk management tools properly. Likewise, know how the support and resistance levels work and what the candlestick patterns are to be able to identify potential entry points correctly. In trading, as in any other comprehensible system of knowledge, advanced techniques are unlocked step-by-step. Progressing along the learning curve is only possible if start by mastering ground-level concepts.

Octa offers various educational resources, including its YouTube channel, which boasts more than 1 million subscribers, and a broad scope of educational materials available within its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader.

2. Keeping emotions under lock and key

Many professional traders compare their ideal mental state during a trading session to the workings of a robotic assembly line. Each movement is time-efficient, precise, and purposeful. Each sequence of actions leads to a measured, predictable result. There are no impulsive or chaotic moves, and nothing is left to chance. In a perfect world, your trading sessions would look like that, too.

Alas, reality imposes its own—imperfect—conditions. One day, you may be tired after work. Another day, you feel fine, and brain functions like clockwork—but the market is feverish with wild fluctuations, and your predictions fail time and again.

This is where self-discipline and the right mindset come into play. One can’t control the market environment, but one definitely can control own emotions—and make sure they don’t undermine the efforts put into achieving consistently positive results.

3. Establishing a solid risk management strategy

In trading, potential profits always have a reverse relation to risks. In other words, one can only achieve significant gains by exposing capital to a proportionate degree.

Risk management techniques are part of any successful trader’s toolkit. The concept of risk in trading is based on risk tolerance—or the amount of loss prepared to handle. The risk tolerance depends on the starting capital and long-term financial goals. In their turn, these factors define the choice of trading instruments.

For example, if your goal is to obtain a supplementary source of income without delay, you may consider Forex trading, which allows traders with modest starting capital to gain regular income for day-to-day purposes.

4. Improving time-efficiency

Less experienced traders often spend an excessive amount of time comparing expert predictions and trying to validate their decisions. However, the vast field of trading information available online is very diverse in terms of quality and trustworthiness, so it’s no wonder that obtaining valid and actionable trading advice becomes an uphill battle.

To solve this problem, Octa embedded a dedicated feed with curated expert content into its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader. This toolkit is called Space and is currently available for all OctaTrader clients across all regions of the broker’s operation. With Space, OctaTrader now offers a customisable stream of actionable trading recommendations that you can transfer to your chart in a few clicks.

5. Learning from the mistakes of others

In trading, as in life, mistakes are inevitable. Given that, studying various lifehacks allows navigation to the most notorious pitfalls and keep away from trouble. You don’t have to make all the mistakes in the book and learn the hard way. Instead, choose a broker with extensive educational capabilities—and study typical client cases, reinforcing the acquired knowledge on demo account if needing additional first-hand experience.

In the next instalment of our three-piece mini-series presenting 13 crucial trading recommendations, we will give a short list of the most impactful skills that allow successful traders to achieve consistency and turn trading into a steady source of supplementary income in a reasonable amount of time.

• The vast majority (80%) have increased their year-on-year investment in generative AI
• Three quarters agree it is helping drive revenue and innovation
• Almost all organizations (97%) allow employees to use generative AI in some capacity

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 July 2024 – Organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI, spurred by an uptick in investment and the value of this transformative technology. It has permeated across sectors and various functions within organizations, driving a shift in operations and business models. That’s according to the Capgemini Research Institute’s latest report, “Harnessing the value of generative AI 2^nd edition: Use cases across sectors,” which shows the adoption curve has increased with utilization of use cases across the spectrum. For all organizations, there has been a notable rise, with nearly one quarter currently integrating generative AI into some of their locations or functions, an increase from 6% in 2023.

Early adopters have already begun reaping benefits, ranging from improved operational efficiency to enhanced customer experience and increased sales. For example, on average, organizations realized a 6.7% improvement in customer engagement and satisfaction over the past year in the areas in which the technology has been piloted or deployed.

“Generative AI is starting to transform business and organizations are already seeing concrete growth in revenue, whilst also accelerating innovation. As a result, rather than solely focusing on cost optimization, businesses are actively exploring new avenues to leverage its capabilities and drive value creation,” comments Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini and Member of the Group Executive Committee. “As investment increases, the rise of more complex, autonomous AI systems signals a new era of generative AI that could impact the way companies operate. To propel their AI journeys forward, organizations should establish strong data foundations with clear processes to manage siloed data and enable data integration across functions. Trust, transparency, and accountability will continue to play a central role whilst embracing this next frontier of AI that has the potential to deliver significant value over time.”

AI chatbots are evolving to multi-agent systems [1] that are set to accelerate value creation

Almost three quarters of organizations (74%) agree that generative AI is helping them drive revenue and innovation. As AI technology progresses, it will transition from the role of supportive tool to that of independent agent with increased execution capability, allowing organizations to reimagine the way they do business and create greater value from their AI investments. This potential for value creation has contributed to the emergence of multi-agent systems – a quickly evolving technology with potential to drive increased innovation. The report indicates high levels of trust in AI agents for specific tasks such as generating professional emails, coding, and data analysis. However, it also reveals that leaders are conscious of the need to maintain this trust and ethical transparency in its development and deployment.

Increase in generative AI adoption across all domains includes the use of public tools

The acceleration of generative AI over the past 12 months is not limited to a business level, as recent technological developments have made public tools more accessible to non-experts. As a result, while there has been an increase in its adoption, only 3% of organizations have imposed a ban on the use of public generative AI tools in the workplace. Almost all organizations (97%) allow employees to use generative AI in some capacity, with over half enforcing specific guidelines for employees to follow.

Faced with the fast-paced uptake of generative AI, the report notes that organizations should proceed with a sense of responsibility. Clear guardrails to validate decisions made by multi-agent systems are essential to ensure transparency and accountability in operations and to mitigate the future risks that public tools may pose to their organization.

To access the full report: https://www.capgemini.com/insights/research-library/generative-ai-in-organizations-2024/

Methodology
The Capgemini Research Institute surveyed 1,100 executives employed at organizations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue across 14 countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the US. Organizations operate across 11 sectors; nearly all (96%) of these organizations have started to explore generative AI. The global survey took place in May and June 2024. Executives surveyed are at director-level and above and represent diverse functions.

• At least 12.6% of an organisation’s annual revenues were at risk to cyber threats
• Sensors detected 125% attack hours – 10 attack hours in an 8-hour workday
• Businesses endured on average 1,104 hours of critical attacks during a span of 880 working hours; protected from a potential of 46 days of downtime
• Malware trended up 30% YoY, including a massive 92% spike in May alone
• Ransomware intensifies in North America (+15%) and explodes in LATAM (+51%)
• In Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ), YoY comparison saw malware attacks and IoT attacks increased by 6% and 72% respectively, while cryptojacking decreased by 28%
• IoT attacks (+107%) and encrypted threats (+92%) continue to climb globally
• 83% of customer-received alerts seen by our managed services team are related to cloud apps and compromised credentials
• SonicWall identified 78,923 ‘never-before-seen’ malware variants – 526 a day

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 July 2024 – SonicWall today released the 2024 SonicWall Mid-Year Cyber Threat Report, researched and compiled by SonicWall Capture Labs, which unveils yet another rise in overall attacks, after seeing an 11% increase observed in 2023. The report details the evolving threat landscape over the first five months of this year, highlighting the persistent, relentless and escalating nature of cyber threats globally.

This report has been built with SonicWall’s partners in mind, and much like SonicWall itself, has undergone a significant transformation. The report has evolved in how it measures critical cyberthreat data to include time as a factor. It also highlights the latest trends that are impacting our partners and the customers they serve, and for the first time the report ties attacks to tangible business impact, including potential revenue risk.

“As threat actors continue to add more efficient and sophisticated tactics, we knew the threat report had to evolve to suit our partners’ and customers’ needs,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bob VanKirk. “The report is current and includes timely trends and provides our partners, MSPs, MSSPs and customers with actionable intelligence to help them create and implement strategies to help their customers combat these threats whether new or old.”

“Organisations today confront a dynamic threat landscape where threat actors continually innovate to outpace enterprise defenses,” emphasised Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President, Regional Sales, Asia Pacific Japan at SonicWall. “With cyber risks dominating headlines and boardroom discussions globally, the 2024 SonicWall Mid-Year Cyber Threat Report solidifies our position as a trusted authority, bolstering our capacity to deliver robust security solutions to our valued customers.”

Rising Attacks and Revenue Protected

SonicWall intelligence found that on average, companies were under critical attack – the type of attack most likely to deplete business resources – for 1,104 hours out of 880 working hours. That means that customers were shielded from a potential 46 days of business downtime in just the first five months of 2024, protecting 12.6% of total revenues and defending against potentially devastating intrusions.

“The data and examples found in the report provide real life examples of how crafty and swift malicious actors operate, underscoring that traditional cybersecurity defenses often prove to be the most reliable,” said SonicWall Executive Director of Threat Research Douglas McKee. “Data is not just a resource; it’s our frontline defense against cybercrime, revealing critical insights that inform allocation of resources and enable targeted and proactive cybersecurity measures.”

The 2024 SonicWall Mid-Year Cyber Threat Report provides insight on a range of threats, including:

• Malware – Total global malware volume rose 30% in the first half of 2024, seeing a massive 92% increase in May alone, while APJ saw a YoY increase in malware attacks of 6%.

• Ransomware – Ransomware is trending up with an increase of +15% in NOAM and a resounding +51% in LATAM, but EMEA is pulling the global numbers down, logging a -49% decrease.

• IoT Malware – IoT attacks rose by 107%, with affected devices averaging 52.8 hours under attack. Additionally, 15% of all malware now uses software packing as its main MITRE TTP. Notably in APJ, IoT attacks increased by 72%.

• Cryptojacking – After a record-breaking year, Cryptojacking dropped 60%. Most of the globe saw a decrease, with the exception of India, which saw a staggering 409% increase.

“The threat landscape is completely overwhelming for organisations and the teams who defend them,” said SonicWall Partner and Fornida COO Steven Huang. “Most cybersecurity breaches include some degree of human error. Ultimately, there are two ways to battle this; reducing opportunity and educating users. The fewer opportunities there are for an error, the less users will be tested. And the more knowledge they have, the less likely they are to make a mistake even when they face an opportunity to do so.”

Patented RTDMI Discovered ‘Never-Before-Seen’ Malware Variants

SonicWall’s patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection^TM (RTDMI^TM) technology identified a total of 78,923 never-before-seen malware variants in the first five months of 2024. The threat landscape remains complex, with over 500 strains of new variants discovered each day.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 July 2024 – Get ready, Jurong! Woodlands Claypot Prawn, the name that has set Singapore’s dining scene ablaze, is all set to spice things up with the grand opening of its fourth outlet on Monday, July 29, 2024. Known for their game-changing take on prawn claypot, this new location promises to be the hottest spot in town.

The culinary journey began on January 4, 2024, when Woodlands Claypot Prawn introduced Singapore to the tantalizing Lala claypot—a Malaysian sensation that quickly became the talk of the town. By February 2024, the founders decided to sell their lucrative Lala Claypot venture and pivoted to establish themselves as the ultimate purveyors of prawn claypot in Singapore.

Fast forward to now, and Woodlands Claypot Prawn has become the undisputed OG of premium charcoal prawn claypot, with three successful existing outlets—two non-halal and one halal in Toa Payoh. The upcoming Jurong outlet will further broaden their appeal, catering to an ever-growing market that craves quality and comfort food.

Leading this exciting new chapter is Jay, co-founder and the energetic frontman behind HZG Group which owns Woodlands Claypot Prawn. Jay and his team have put their heart and soul into developing unique combinations of soup bases and prawns, a process so meticulous it’s been affectionately termed in a Singaporean way “R&D and tasted so much till we are scared.” With premium ingredients sourced from the same supplier trusted by renowned restaurant groups in Singapore, diners can expect nothing short of excellence at a fraction of the cost.

But what makes Woodlands Claypot Prawn truly special is the remarkable story of its founders. This isn’t just a tale of culinary success; it’s a narrative of grit, passion, and camaraderie. The four founders pooled their own money and got their hands dirty, working on the ground for the first two months to build something truly extraordinary.

Jay, the brainy strategic planner of the group, has a background that reads like an entrepreneurial novel. From brokering event tickets at the age of 14 to managing internships and navigating the traditional 9-to-6 grind, Jay’s journey is a validation to independence and innovation. His sister-in-law, Michelle, who transitioned from a career in the Acai distribution industry, and Chee Shan, a direct lineage of Sing Long Group (Godfather of culinary sauces) who forged his own path, each bring their unique flair to the table.

To highlight a key aspect of their story, Jay and their 4th partner, Alvin’s partnership is nothing short of legendary. Alvin’s incredible transformation from a delinquent past to a key societal player showcases how passion and grit can turn the tide. In under six months, the duo built a strong brotherhood that reached new heights during an August 2023 trip to Guangzhou. This adventure quickly thrust them into the entertainment scene, setting the stage for an epic new chapter. The rest, as they say, is history.

For Jay & his partners, this partnership isn’t just business—it’s a serendipitous convergence of fate and meaningful connections that elevate their shared vision.

With several new outlets in the pipeline and thrilling plans for both local and International expansion, Woodlands Claypot Prawn is set to spread its flavorful impact far and wide. The grand opening in Jurong on 29th July 2024 marks just the beginning of an exciting new chapter brimming with delicious opportunities. Investors, partners, and international collaborators are invited to join us on this flavorful journey as we continue to innovate and expand our reach.

Get ready to be part of the next big thing in the culinary world!
