Fraud Syndicates Now Operate Like Businesses: VIDA Urges Malaysian CISOs to Rethink AI-Era Defense

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fraud in Southeast Asia has passed a tipping point, evolving from isolated scams to highly commercial operations run by organized syndicates operating with the scale and efficiency of modern, legitimate businesses. This warning was delivered by Niki Luhur, Founder and CEO of VIDA Group, at CISO Malaysia 2026, an event that brings together Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in Malaysia.

In his presentation, “From Fraudster to Syndicate: The Rise of Commercial Fraud in Southeast Asia,” Niki detailed how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the digital crime economy, automating and scaling fraud into a structured, industrialized threat. “Fraud today is no longer about individuals seeking quick profits; it has become a business,” said Niki Luhur. “When crime operates like an industry, security cannot rely on assumptions built for a different era.”

This message resonates with CISOs, as AI-powered threats like deepfake attacks and synthetic identity fraud erode traditional security models. And in line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) decision to phase out SMS OTPs by June 2026, which underscores the inadequacy of legacy authentication and requires a fundamental redesign of defense strategies for banking leaders.

Niki emphasized layered and coordinated identity defense. Effective fraud prevention requires unifying identity verification, device integrity checks, liveness detection, and PKI authentication into a cohesive system that can withstand large-scale AI-based attacks. Device trust is now a critical frontline control. For more information, visit www.vida.id

tridorian Takes Southeast Asian Innovation Global with the U.S. Launch After Breaking $15.6M ARR in 24 Months


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 February 2026 – tridorian, the region’s premier people-centric Google Cloud Partner, today announced its official launch into the United States with a new regional headquarters in Chicago. This milestone follows a period of hyper-growth built primarily in Singapore and Thailand, where the firm scaled to $15.6M ARR in just 24 months before expanding operations across Southeast Asia. tridorian is now one of the region’s fastest-growing digital transformation firms.

The U.S launch reflects growing global demand for the capabilities tridorian has developed in Southeast Asia: helping organizations move beyond experimentation to deploy secure, governed AI systems in production, grounded in real data and integrated into everyday business workflows. Rather than signaling a shift away from the region, the expansion represents the next chapter of what the team has built together.

Across Southeast Asia, tridorian has worked closely with enterprises in regulated and high-growth sectors to modernize cloud foundations, migrate and optimize critical workloads, and prepare data platforms for AI at scale, laying the groundwork for reliable, production-ready systems.

“We built this in Southeast Asia, together with our customers and our teams,” said Jimmy Jigmo, Chief Executive Officer of tridorian. “Reaching $15.6M ARR across two countries in two years wasn’t about chasing trends—it came from doing the hard work of making AI operate reliably in real environments. Being invited to bring that approach into the U.S. is something we’re proud of. It shows that what we’ve built here stands up on a global stage.”

tridorian’s execution-led approach is reflected in customer outcomes delivered across the region. In Singapore, Ryobi-G partnered with tridorian to build a real-time monitoring system on Google Cloud, achieving 99% availability, doubling project capacity, and reducing deployment time by more than 50%, while Nanyang Inc. transformed fragmented order processing into an automated system with agents, saving 850 hours monthly, boosted client retention by 65%, achieving a 257% ROI in its first year. In Thailand, Thai Wacoal successfully accelerated its ‘trend-to-market’ cycle by automating product content generation and brand reviews, significantly reducing manual tasks and unlocking strategic capacity for its creative teams. Shop Global implemented an AI-powered search and personal shopper experience, driving a 20% topline revenue increase, while in Indonesia, FDC Dental Clinic modernized patient journeys, cutting down patient booking time by 87%.

“The opportunity for transformation is vast,” said Andhika, Chief Revenue Officer at tridorian. “Whether in Singapore or Chicago, leaders are asking the same question: ‘How do we rethink our business in the AI-Native era?’ We’ve answered that question countless times across the Asia Pacific. Now we’re bringing those playbooks to the U.S.”

tridorian will continue investing in regional capabilities, talent, and delivery excellence across Southeast Asia, while expanding its global footprint to support customers with increasingly complex transformation programs.

International Cancer Organizations Work Together to Meet the Needs of Women with Cancer in Vietnam

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is collaborating with the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital (K Hospital) to adapt regional recommendations for treating breast and ovarian cancers.

HANOI, Vietnam, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)—an alliance of leading cancer centers in the United States—is marking a major milestone in work to improve outcomes for people with cancer across Vietnam, in collaboration with the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital (K Hospital). The organizations have now published NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) Adaptations for Vietnam for both breast and ovarian cancers, marking their commitment to address high-incidence cancers for women in Vietnam, enhance overall quality of care, and strengthen Vietnam’s role in the region.

International Adaptations of the NCCN Guidelines®—which are customized for regional practice patterns, regulatory status, and health care technologies—are available for free at NCCN.org/global or via the Virtual Library of NCCN Guidelines App.

“We continuously strive to access, update, and apply the most advanced medical progress worldwide to provide optimal diagnostic and treatment quality for cancer patients in Vietnam,” said Prof. Le Van Quang, MD, PhD, Director, Vietnam National Cancer Hospital and Chair of the NCCN Guidelines for Vietnam Panel for Ovarian Cancer. “The collaboration with NCCN carries profound significance. NCCN Guidelines embody internationally-recognized standards grounded in the most up-to-date scientific evidence. The joint effort to develop, adapt, and localize these guidelines in Vietnam represents an important step toward harmonizing cancer treatment practices with global standards. We believe that the strategic agreement between K Hospital and NCCN will continue to expand, creating a solid foundation for training, research, and improving the quality of cancer care in Vietnam.”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Vietnam, representing approximately one in every seven new cancer cases in 20221. Globally, one in three women diagnosed with breast cancer is under 50 years old, but in Southeast Asia, almost half of all women diagnosed with breast cancer are below this threshold2.

NCCN and K Hospital first signed a memo of understanding in 2023, when they embarked on a successful pilot program to adapt and publish evidence-based, expert-consensus-driven guidelines for lung cancer based on the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and tailored for patients in Vietnam. They subsequently added liver cancer, with the new guidelines for breast and ovarian cancers bringing the total to four adaptations. Additional resources for colorectal, stomach, and other cancers are coming soon.

During the adaptation process, local panel members for the NCCN Guidelines for Vietnam for Ovarian Cancer contributed essential information on addressing the treatment of ovarian cancer during pregnancy.

“Although uncommon, ovarian cancer during pregnancy requires complex decision-making with a high potential for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes if management is not standardized,” explained Dr. Quang. “This added algorithm provides explicit criteria for surgical management, chemotherapy indications and timing, and coordinated maternal-fetal monitoring.”

“The feedback we get from international experts helps us to improve care in the United States as well,” said Crystal S. Denlinger, MD, CEO, NCCN. “We are proud to exchange knowledge that drives research, training, and education for cancer care worldwide. These regionally-adapted guidelines can serve as the basis for a National Cancer Control Plan (NCCP) and provide a foundation for future work to improve cancer treatment and build capacity in Vietnam and globally.”

There are currently nearly 100 global adaptations of NCCN Guidelines available across Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America. NCCN resources have also been translated into more than 70 languages. Visit NCCN.org/global for more information on ongoing collaborations and how they elevate cancer care worldwide.

About the National Comprehensive Cancer Network
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) is a not-for-profit alliance of leading cancer centers devoted to patient care, research, and education. NCCN is dedicated to defining and advancing quality, effective, equitable, and accessible cancer care and prevention so all people can live better lives. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) provide transparent, evidence-based, expert consensus-driven recommendations for cancer treatment, prevention, and supportive services; they are the recognized standard for clinical direction and policy in cancer management and the most thorough and frequently-updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. The NCCN Guidelines for Patients® provide expert cancer treatment information to inform and empower patients and caregivers, through support from the NCCN Foundation®. NCCN also advances continuing education, global initiatives, policy, and research collaboration and publication in oncology. Visit NCCN.org for more information.

Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center first in U.S. to implant FDA-approved novel defibrillation lead

The new technology is the world’s smallest, catheter-delivered defibrillation lead

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electrophysiologists at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David’s Medical Center recently became the first in the nation to implant an FDA-approved novel defibrillation lead—a specialized, insulated wire that connects to an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-Ds) device to the heart and corrects abnormal rhythm. The defibrillation lead is the world’s smallest, catheter-delivered defibrillation lead, which allows for precise delivery and placement in the right ventricle.

The first procedure was performed by Robert Canby, M.D., and Amin Al-Ahmad, M.D., clinical cardiac electrophysiologists at TCAI, on Jan. 7. Dr. Canby also participated in the trial that led to FDA approval.

“When treating patients, safety and efficacy are paramount, and this novel technology allows us to achieve both with greater precision,” said Andrea Natale, M.D., F.H.R.S., F.A.C.C., F.E.S.C., cardiac electrophysiologist and executive medical director of TCAI. “This milestone is a testament to the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute’s continued pursuit of innovation that will improve outcomes and access to life-saving care.”

A lead senses the heartbeat and transmits signals to the implanted device, which then delivers therapy to correct or interrupt abnormally fast rhythms—called arrhythmias—that can result in sudden cardiac arrest. Existing defibrillation leads are larger in diameter, increasing the potential for future complications.

According to the Journal of the American Heart Association, an estimated 12.1 million people in the U.S. are expected to have atrial fibrillation—the most common arrhythmia—by 2030.

TCAI is a state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Center that includes six labs equipped with advanced technology where a group of esteemed cardiac electrophysiologists—led by Dr. Natale, a world-renowned expert in the field—perform a high volume of the most complex electrophysiology procedures.
