Trend Micro #1 in Vulnerability Disclosure, Helping Prevent Breaches and Save Businesses Millions

Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) is a cybersecurity secret weapon

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2024 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced that it discovered a market-leading 60% of vulnerabilities worldwide in 2023 according to a new Omdia report.

Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend Micro: “As our business operations, critical infrastructure, and daily lives increasingly rely on software, securing these systems has never been more crucial. Trend’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), with its proactive and thorough approach to vulnerability disclosures, combined with our deep expertise, enables us to protect our customers faster than ever before. This leadership mitigates risks and translates into significant cost savings for enterprises, reinforcing our commitment to enhancing global cybersecurity and supporting business continuity.”

Omdia provided an independent comparative analysis of 9 global vendors/organizations that publicly research and disclose vulnerabilities, analyzing 1,211 vulnerabilities disclosed and assigned a CVE in 2023.

Omdia found that Trend discloses over 2.5 times more vulnerabilities than its nearest rival. ZDI has been the world’s largest vendor-agnostic bug bounty program for 16 consecutive years and has led the vulnerability management market since the first market analysis in 2007.

The knowledge and awareness that ZDI research imparts are baked into the Trend Vision OneTM platform, including capabilities like XDR, attack surface management (ASM), and virtual patching. This allows the company to protect its customers better and faster than the competition, including examples like network IPS protection as soon as a vulnerability is discovered and disclosed to the vendor—which is often weeks or even months before an official patch is released.

Overall, in 2023, Omdia found that 10% of all disclosed threats were classified as critical, 69% as high severity, 21% as medium, and less than 1% as low. These findings highlight the program’s success in finding and addressing significant vulnerabilities.

The average cost of a data breach due to an initial access unpatched vulnerability reached an all-time high of $4.45 million in 2023. This figure underscores the significant financial impact of security incidents on organizations. Factors contributing to these costs include detection and escalation, notification, post-breach response, and lost business.

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the financial implications for organizations are becoming more severe. Proactive vulnerability management and timely disclosures, long advocated by Trend, are essential in mitigating these risks.

80% of professionals prepare for job change as a ‘career cushioning’ tactic amidst Taiwan layoffs and AI development

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2024 – Career Cushioning, the process of being proactive about your career prospects to ‘soften the blow’ should anything go wrong with your current job – is a phenomenon that recruitment firm Robert Walters believes has grown in the Taiwan job market.

According to the latest survey by the recruitment agency Robert Walters Taiwan, only 18.45% of workers have no plans to switch jobs in the first half of 2024. Over 80% of respondents are actively seeking new job opportunities or preparing for a career change. The main motivations for job switching are low job satisfaction (35.06%), economic instability (19.93%), and lack of job security (15.87%), indicating that more than a third of Taiwanese workers lack confidence in their current employment situation.

  • 81.55% of professionals have taken steps to prepare to look for another job as a ‘just in case’ tactics.
  • 28.04% of those are actively seeking new job opportunities in first half of 2024.
  • Top reasons for job switching are low job satisfaction (35.06%), economic instability (19.93%), and lack of job security.
  • Top career cushioning tactics include monitoring jobs market (65.89%), tidying up CV (55.43%), and upskilling / training (48.84%).

The rapid AI development, layoffs trend in the global job market, and the unclear economic situation have made career cushioning the latest trend in Taiwan’s job market in 2024. Over 80% of employees are actively seeking new job opportunities or making preparations for career changes to respond to various unexpected career situations and try to minimize potential impacts.

John Winter, Country Manager of Robert Walters Taiwan highlighted, “Currently, professionals are acutely aware of their job satisfaction and the external environment. Whether it is the difficulties organisations face due to economic conditions or the possibility of their jobs being replaced by AI, they are keenly observing and reacting accordingly.”

Cushioning tactics in full flow

Professionals are adopting a more proactive attitude towards their career. Among the common career cushioning tactics, Taiwanese candidates tend more to use “monitoring jobs market” (65.89%), “preparing and updating CV” (55.43%), and “upskilling or training” (48.84%). John Winter further emphasised, “Adequate preparation is always the first step. It can start with simple actions like updating personal resumes and actively browsing job websites. Most importantly, be open to approaches from recruiters who can provide you with valuable insights about the jobs market in your region/industry.”

Additionally, keeping a close eye on industry trends and in-demand job roles is essential when choosing which skills to train for. Currently, the AI boom has swept across various industries, and it is foreseeable that AI applications will accelerate the digitalisation process within organisations, driving the demand for talent in AI and digital tools application, data analysis, and digital transformation. In particular, talent specialising in AI construction and deployment are highly sought after in the market.

Most common tactics for ‘career cushioning’
Monitoring jobs market 65.89%
Preparing and updating CV 55.43%
Upskilling / Training 48.84%
Networking more 44.96%
Working with Career Coach or Recruiter 36.05%
Applying for jobs 36.05%
Adopting side-hustle 12.79%

More than 40% of professionals find salaries competitive: job satisfaction extends beyond compensation package

There is no guarantee that those that ‘career cushion’ will leave, it’s an old adage but employees researching opportunities elsewhere can often illustrate to them that the grass isn’t always greener.

According to the survey, low job satisfaction (35.06%) is the leading motivation for professionals to change jobs. The top three aspects that employees value most in their careers are “salary and benefits” (82.95%), “company and team culture” (63.57%), and “career development opportunities” (60.85%). It is noteworthy that the same survey also reveals that 42.07% of respondents believe their personal salary is competitive, and 16.61% state that their current salary is above the market average. This indicates that salary may not be the main reason for low job satisfaction. The less visible factors of “company and team culture” and “career development opportunities” might also have a significant and profound impact.

“Valuing company and team culture is no longer exclusive to Generation Z. Our survey shows that, regardless of age group, company and team culture consistently remain among the top three priorities for employees. To attract and retain top talent, companies need to offer a comprehensive and appealing work environment. This involves promoting their benefits policies, flexible working arrangements, career development opportunities, and support systems.” John Winter, Country Manager of Robert Walters Taiwan highlighted. And he added: “Career cushioning needn’t always be looked at as a negative by employers, in many cases it can lead to employees upskilling, being more determined to succeed or engaging in more networking – bringing greater value to the business. ”

Cantine CECI 1938 Presents ‘For the Future Sustainability Project’

The Iconic ‘Nerodilambrusco’ and the Brand-New ‘Bolledichardonnay’ In An Aluminium Bottle Sealed With A Cork and Cage For Sparkling Wine

TORRILE, ITALY – EQS Newswire – 26 June 2024 – The Cantine Ceci winery is launching the innovative ‘For the Future Sustainability Project’, combining a passion for quality winemaking with a firm commitment to an ever more sustainable production process.

Ceci 1938 For the Future Sustainability Project
Ceci 1938 For the Future Sustainability Project

The iconic Nerodilambrusco, a “manifesto in a bottle” for CECI 1938, and the winery’s new product Bolledichardonnay are now available in a 0.75 litre aluminium bottle with a neck designed to fit the classic cork, metal cage and seal: a genuine sparkling-wine bottle. One hundred percent infinitely recyclable, this brand-new container is also an elegant design piece, embodying the unique character that sets the winery apart. CECI 1938 is the first producer in the world to introduce this innovative type of container for its wines: a crucial decision for the winery, as packaging plays an especially significant role in the winemaking process.

The bottles have been paired with labels inspired by traditional wine production to emphasise continuity and highlight the product’s proven quality. The black opaque aluminium bottles feature aluminium labels in the classic Otello Ceci format. These square labels are divided into two horizontal sections, which display the name of the wine and the CECI 1938 logo. The two wines can be identified by the distinct colours on their bottles: the black background is paired with a warm gold tone for Nerodilambrusco and with a metallic platinum colour for Bolledichardonnay. These colours also feature on their respective seals.

The bottles also bear a striking second label marked ‘For the Future Sustainability Project’, placed above the main label. The lettering goes from white to intense fluorescent green in a gradient that represents the journey towards greater sustainability. The same fluorescent green also colours the ‘message’ that the bottle wears around its neck, a hang tag designed to attract the consumer’s attention with the playfully provocative ‘SO WHAT?’ in which the letter ‘A’ is replaced by the universal recycling symbol, underpinned by the abbreviation for aluminium. The label is completed with the payoff THINK GREEN. This is where Cantine Ceci presents the key features of the project in the form of a short text and a QR code that links to the winery’s website, where consumers can access more information.

Country and Sector Risk Barometer – June 2024 Turbulence ahead?

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 June 2024 – The year 2024 got off to a better start than the previous two years, which were marked by the final upsets of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a banking crisis in the United States. However, the first quarter of 2024 has seen a slowdown in US activity, with emerging countries acting as a relay for the global economy. Throughout the world, economic, social and political risks remain, such as the dissolution of the French National Assembly, a possible turning point for the country and Europe.

Real GDP growth (annual average, %)
Real GDP growth (annual average, %)

In this context, Coface has modified its assessments for 5 countries (4 upgrades and 1 downgrade) and 26 sectors (20 upgrades and 6 downgrades), reflecting a favorable outlook in the short term only.

The world economy above the waterline

Our global growth forecast for 2024 has been upgraded to 2.5%, with stabilization expected at 2.7% in 2025. Moderate growth in the US and China should be offset by acceleration in several emerging countries.

Despite the slowdown in the US economy, labor market figures appear to have returned to pre-pandemic levels, indicating a better balance between labor supply and demand.

In China, the economic rebound remains uneven. GDP exceeded expectations in the first quarter of 2024, thanks to investment in manufacturing, exacerbating concerns about production overcapacity. Given the weakness of domestic demand, Chinese producers will have to find outlets on foreign markets. Persistent deflationary pressures could continue to hold back corporate and household incomes.

Europe, with GDP growth of 0.3% in the first quarter of 2024, and activity set to pick up thanks to the services sector, seems to be out of recession.

More arduous disinflation

The slowdown in disinflation in the United States confirms that the last mile in the fight against inflation is indeed the most difficult. The cause lies in the persistently high prices of services, and housing. PCE[1] inflation, which at 2.7% remains above the US Federal Reserve’s 2% target, confirms this point.

In Europe, inflation rebounded in May to 2.6%, after dropping to 2.4% in April thanks to a slowdown in unprocessed food and goods prices. While the likely rise in wages should boost consumption, it will slow disinflation. If inflation is to continue to fall to around 2%, it will have to do so at the cost of a deterioration in the labor market and corporate operating margins, with the risk of a further increase in insolvencies.

Emerging economies ready to accelerate, but constrained by the Fed

Markets are now expecting only 1 or 2 rate cuts, reflecting the Fed’s cautious stance. The latest projections from US monetary policymakers confirm that rate cuts will have to wait until the end of the summer, or even the end of the year. For its part, the European Central Bank launched its monetary easing with a first cut of 25 basis points (bp) at the beginning of June.

Faced with the Fed’s delayed timetable, emerging countries will have to slow down or delay their rate-cutting cycle to avoid a rebound in inflation via imports. Brazil, for example, cut its key rate by just 25bp in May, after 6 consecutive 50bp cuts. The Fed’s postponement will also condition monetary policies in Africa and Asia. The central banks of the main emerging economies have not yet begun their monetary easing, limiting the scale of their economic rebound for 2024 and 2025.

Despite this delayed timetable, many regions will enjoy positive momentum. Some of Southeast Asia countries (Vietnam and the Philippines) will achieve growth rates more than 6%. India, despite a slight slowdown, should post growth of 6.1%. Africa is also set to outperform and exceed 4% growth, with acceleration in all major economies (Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, Ethiopia, Morocco and, to a lesser extent, South Africa).

US customs barriers: heading towards a trade war 2.0?

The announcement on May 14 of a sharp rise in customs duties on imports of Chinese goods confirms the United States’ determination to counter China in its strategic sectors. The European Union adopted similar measures, imposing additional tariffs of up to 38% on Chinese electric vehicles. Countries such as India and Brazil have already taken similar steps, increasing the risk of global trade tensions. This context could make Mexico and Vietnam the main beneficiaries of this reorganization, thanks to the transshipment of Chinese products. Although trade links between the USA and China appear to have weakened, it would be premature at this stage to conclude that the two powers have decoupled.

In addition to the current administration’s decision, candidate Trump’s campaign promises to implement global tariffs of 10% are fueling concerns surrounding US trade policy, while heightening fears of fragmentation in global trade.

In an increasingly uncertain geopolitical context, an escalation of customs barriers would mean higher costs for businesses, contributing to the risk of a more inflationary future.

Through this forum, we aim to share global public policies related to AI development and accelerate sustainable progress using AI technology. ICF Chairman and Co-founder John G.
