Trend Micro Announces New Subsidiary for 5G Cybersecurity

CTOne delivers seamless network protection in the 5G Era

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 6 January 2023 – Trend Micro (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, has established CTOne, a new Trend Micro subsidiary focused on advancing 5G network security and beyond. The group’s intellectual capital and leadership come from Trend Micro’s culture of innovation and is the latest incubation project to launch as a standalone business.

Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro: “Trend Micro has been at the forefront of network transformations for over three decades. The 5G network technology has enabled new capabilities and applications requiring new cybersecurity infrastructure. With our foresight and over six years of dedicated research into network technology, we are confident that CTOne will safeguard organizations in all 5G network environments.”

Organizations need to integrate resources to combat emerging threats in the private 5G networks more effectively. By pre-deploying a security net, CTOne strengthens the digital resilience of vertical application fields and provides security for landing applications in private 5G network environments and achieving comprehensive protection from network to endpoint.

Low latency, large bandwidth, and high-density capabilities have accelerated many organizations to adopt private 5G networks. According to a Grand View Research report*, the global private 5G network market size was valued at USD 1.38 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 49% in the next year. Private 5G networks are usually considered the most secure wireless communications standard. However, with the widely used Open Radio Access (O-RAN) structure, the proliferation of cloud networks, open-source software, and the variety of IoT devices, the 5G environment faces more cyber threats than ever.

Jason Huang, CEO of CTOne: “Safety today doesn’t guarantee Safety tomorrow. While the communications technology market is booming, business operations are facing exposure to more complex risks. CTOne enables enterprises to secure private 5G networks against potential cyberattacks and build a high-quality industrial application ecosystem. In the future, we will collaborate with partners to maximize the advantages of private 5G with comprehensive security solutions.”

In addition to private 5G network end-to-end security solutions, CTOne is also developing O-RAN and edge computing security solutions to assist enterprises in mitigating cyber risk when deploying related technologies.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach – 6 January 2023 – Tia Lee Yu Fen has collaborated with Grammy award winning DJ duo NERVO on a remixed version of her global C-Pop hit “GOODBYE PRINCESS.

Tia partnered with Australian DJs Olivia and Miriam Nervo – who have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Kylie Minogue, Ke$ha, Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Steve Aoki and The Pussycat Dolls.

NERVO believe in the charitable ethos of the campaign, which encourages women to strive for a better future, and supports organisations helping to make this happen.

We’ve had a long history working with Asian pop stars so we jumped at the opportunity to remix Tia’s great tune! ‘Goodbye Princess’ is already such a memorable song with a powerful message about empowerment, but we wanted to make the production a bit crunchier for real dance music fans. We hope everyone loves it as much as we do!” Olivia and Miriam Nervo said.

Under the #EmpowerHer movement, Tia has pledged to make donations to four charities, totalling up to HKD3.8 million. The figure was chosen as a nod to International Women’s Day on March 8, 2023.

Pioneering Instruments

De Beers Institute of Diamonds (DBIoD) uses innovative proprietary technology by De Beers Group’s Ignite, which offers cutting-edge detection instruments that can readily screen out simulants, synthetics and treated diamonds. Through continued research, development and innovation, Ignite strive to make those instruments more easily available to all members of the diamond pipeline. Meanwhile, developing new screening and testing methods can reduce referral rates and increase throughput.

01 SynthDetect is the latest addition to our range of screening and detection instruments. It is specially designed for testing stones in mounted jewellery but can also be used to test loose stones.

02 AMS2 (Automated Melee Screening2) is a revolutionary technological advance in the field of diamond melee screening that accepts a wider range of stone sizes and shapes with smaller minimum sizes at a much higher speed, giving a much lower referral rate than its predecessor.

03 The DiamondSure compact screening device is a protective and handy carry case designed to distinguish natural diamonds from synthetics and simulants. The instrument is intended for colourless or near-colourless stones, although it will distinguish yellow synthetics from natural cape yellow stones.

04 DiamondView looks at surface florescence by illuminating the diamond with shortwave ultraviolet light.

05 The SynthDetect XL (SDXL) base can replace the SynthDetect standard base and has the advantage of holding larger pieces of jewellery as well as multiple pieces.

06 The DiamondPlus is a compact screening device intended for use in all locations where polished diamonds are handled. It is primarily designed to screen for Type II high pressure high temperature (HPHT) treated natural diamonds.

The ASSURE Programme delivers ongoing testing of Diamond Verification Instruments to ensure the trade is fully informed of the relative performance of the Diamond Verification Instruments in the market. The instruments are rigorously tested in a transparent manner against a unique common sample and standard.

De Beers Group Ignite is proud to be the only technology provider, with four diamond verification instruments, which passed the ASSURE testing with outstanding results.
