SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, today released its latest white paper, Combating Modern DDoS Threats 2025. The white paper offers an in-depth perspective on the rapidly evolving DDoS landscape and the urgent need for organizations to modernize their defense strategies to ensure service continuity.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks remain one of the most effective tactics in the cybercriminal playbook. As organizations reinforce their defenses, adversaries respond with new attack methods, adopting AI-driven automation, multivector tactics, and prolonged campaigns to slip past protection systems. These shifts expose the limits of traditional rule-based defenses, which can no longer keep pace with the sophistication of modern DDoS threats.

As the white paper outlines, adaptive DDoS protection offers the path forward. Unlike signature-based systems, it leverages machine learning and behavioral analysis to continuously profile traffic and detect anomalies in real time.

CDNetworks has translated this approach into practice with Flood Shield 2.0, which combines AI-powered threat detection, automated mitigation, and over 20 Tbps of global scrubbing capacity to deliver faster and more precise mitigation against evolving threats.

“DDoS attacks are becoming more intelligent and disruptive, demanding an equally dynamic security posture,” said Antony Li, APAC Head of Sales at CDNetworks. “With Flood Shied 2.0, we are dedicated to equipping organizations with adaptive, AI-powered defenses that ensure their services remain secure and resilient, no matter how the threat landscape changes. In the first half of 2025 alone, Flood Shield 2.0 mitigated over 20,000 attacks, ensuring uninterrupted service availability for every customer.”

Furthermore, Moreh plans to jointly develop an AMD-based distributed inference system with SGLang to accelerate its expansion of the rapidly growing deep learning inference market.

Moreh CEO Gangwon Jo stated, “Moreh possesses the strongest technical capabilities among AMD’s global software partners and is currently conducting proof-of-concept (PoC) projects with several leading LLM companies,” and added, “Through close collaboration with AMD, Tenstorrent, and SGLang, we aim to establish ourselves as a global company providing customers with diverse AI computing alternatives.”

Moreh is developing its own core AI infrastructure engine and, through its foundation LLM subsidiary Motif Technologies, is securing comprehensive technological capabilities that span the model domain. Simultaneously, the company is making its mark in the global market through collaborations with key partners such as AMD, Tenstorrent, and SGLang.

New virtual card solution replaces manual processes with faster, safer payments, real-time visibility and automated reconciliation, all within Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP

SYDNEY, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mastercard has announced the local launch of a new embedded virtual card payment capability, with Westpac becoming the first commercial issuer in Australia to activate the solution for clients using Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

The integration leverages Mastercard’s innovative virtual card solution and Oracle’s B2B technology platform to deliver a seamless, secure, and fully embedded virtual card experience. By embedding virtual cards directly into the Oracle Cloud ERP, businesses gain real-time visibility, enhanced control, improved working capital management, and streamlined supplier onboarding, all within their system of record.

“Manual commercial payments are the silent drag on growth, slowing operations, increasing exposure, and tying up capital that should be fuelling innovation,” said Anouska Ladds, Executive Vice President, Commercial and New Payment Flows, Asia Pacific at Mastercard. “By embedding our virtual card technology into enterprise workflows like the Oracle Cloud ERP, we are removing long-standing friction and empowering organizations and businesses across Asia Pacific to operate at the scale and speed of today’s economy.”

“Helping our customers transition to real-time payments is important to ensure they have the competitive edge in the ever-increasing digitised economy. We’re pleased to be providing a simpler way to manage payments, and one that is already built into the systems businesses use every day. We are proud to be the first in Australia offering this virtual card solution that is helping our corporate and government clients manage payments more efficiently.” said Jeff Byrne, Managing Director, Global Transaction Services, Westpac Group.

“Consumers have long enjoyed fast, frictionless transactions, but the business-to-business world has lagged behind with outdated, cumbersome processes,” said Catherine You, Group Vice President at Oracle. “Through this collaboration, we’re reimagining how businesses transact by empowering mutual customers to streamline cash management, tap into credit, and arrange financing all from one unified platform within Oracle Cloud ERP.”

The solution helps businesses move from manual, fragmented processes to a unified payment flow that centralises financial management. Automated reconciliation reduces human error and frees finance teams to focus on higher-value work, while detailed remittance data improves transparency and simplifies the payment lifecycle for both customers and vendors.

Unlike traditional implementations that require custom integration work, this solution is embedded in the customer’s existing Oracle Cloud ERP subscription, eliminating the need for additional setup or technical resources.

The launch builds on Mastercard’s global partnership with Oracle and its commitment to modernising commercial payments.

About Mastercard

Mastercard powers economies and empowers people in 200+ countries and territories worldwide. Together with our customers, we’re building a resilient economy where everyone can prosper. We support a wide range of digital payments choices, making transactions secure, simple, smart and accessible.
