TAIPEI, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cathay United Bank, a longstanding advocate for energy transition, was recently crowned Best Bank for Sustainable Finance at the ESG Investing Awards by Global Markets Media. The Bank outperformed prominent global contenders such as Morgan Stanley, TD Bank Group, and the Bank of Nova Scotia, to be named the winner – the only Asian enterprise to claim such a title!

As the top sustainable finance brand in Taiwan, Cathay United Bank bases its energy transition policy on the Low-Carbon Economic Blueprint and the Environmental Sustainability Blueprint – covering Scope 1 to 3 emissions and the use of renewable energy – fully supporting Earth Day’s 2025 theme: “Our Power, Our Planet”. In addition to being the first in Taiwan’s financial sector to complete the energy transition of its head office in 2022, the Bank has been paving the way toward sustainability, providing financial solutions to all customers and stakeholders in pursuit of net zero.

Cathay United Bank noted that instead of viewing sustainable transition as a risk, it should be regarded as a positive force that drives business growth and transformation, while enhancing the risk resilience of businesses. The Bank introduced several innovations during its commitment to sustainable development, such as promoting internal carbon pricing for internal energy transition, and empowering employees to engage in their companies’ transition through sustainability performance-linked payroll services. With many companies inspired, the Bank is increasingly focused on transition strategies in its planning, aiming to create mutually beneficial long-term value for stakeholders.

To share experiences and explore solutions for sustainable transition with its partners, Cathay United Bank has established diverse collaboration models. For example, the Bank teamed up with the CDP, an international non-profit organization that helps companies disclose their environmental impact, to assist customers in understanding the importance of net zero and impact management. In 2024, thanks to the efforts of experts and the Bank’s staff, 121 among 150 companies invited by the Bank successfully obtained CDP scores, with the response rate of the CDP questionnaire exceeding 80 percent – landing high above the global supply chain’s average of 50 percent. The Bank also held forums and workshops with reputed organizations to share knowledge on achieving sustainable transition.

Furthermore, Cathay United Bank engaged with the Metal Industries Research and Development Centre, Taiwan’s first carbon footprint verification agency, to accelerate net zero transition by offering businesses transition technologies. The Bank has also created engagement models tailored to customers’ industry type, business scale, carbon emission level, and ESG development progress, aiming to enhance the customers’ ability to implement net zero transition. At the same time, the Bank continues to provide sustainability-linked loans, green deposits, sustainability performance-linked payroll services, and sustainable finance partnerships with small and medium enterprises. By offering technical and capital support, the Bank assists customers in achieving their sustainability goals.

Aside from achieving PAS 2060 certification for its head office and three green branches in 2024, Cathay United Bank further exemplified its role as a “green” landlord by signing a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA). This CPPA offers lessees with the option of renewable energy and marks a step further towards achieving sustainability. Looking ahead, the Bank remains committed to the idea of “Our Power, Our Planet”, and aspires to wield its influence to bring together employees, customers, and stakeholders in the pursuit of net zero – building a sustainable tomorrow.

Cohesity RecoveryAgent’s AI-powered Orchestration Makes Cyber Response and Recovery Easy so Customers Can Recover From Incidents Faster and With More Confidence 

SINGAPORE, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, today announced Cohesity RecoveryAgent, a new AI-powered cyber orchestration solution for Cohesity NetBackup and DataProtect customers. RecoveryAgent automates cyber recovery preparation, testing, compliance, and response, enabling customers to recover from cyber incidents faster. It offers intelligent, customizable recovery blueprints and enables rigorous testing of recovery processes in a non-production environment, giving customers more confidence in their ability to respond to proliferating cyberattacks.

Simplifying Cyber Recovery Through Automation and Intelligence
Modern IT environments are complex, comprising physical, virtual, and cloud-based systems. Responding to cyberattacks requires organizations to navigate this complexity while ensuring data integrity, availability, and regulatory compliance. RecoveryAgent addresses these challenges by generating customizable blueprints that automate recovery workflows, making cyber recovery response more efficient and adaptable.

With these customizable blueprints, organizations can better prepare for cyber incidents before they happen. RecoveryAgent’s intuitive UI allows teams to easily build recovery plans with scripted workflows that automatically integrate critical steps for incident response, such as threat hunting, malware scanning, and instant data restores. Users can rehearse recoveries to prove the blueprint will effectively recover their data in a non-production environment without impacting production applications. This frequent testing helps ensure readiness for real-world incidents.

RecoveryAgent’s Agentic AI capabilities allow recovery teams to:

• Rapidly and easily create and edit recovery blueprints with AI assistance for automated testing of cyber impact or disaster recovery
• Manage granular recovery across multiple domains in complex hybrid environments, including on-premises, cloud, PaaS, and containers

• Have more confidence in a clean incident recovery with Agentic AI-powered intelligent recovery point recommendations and blast radius analysis of infected files across domains
• Understand the real-world recovery times and how they align with the business SLAs
• Ensure and demonstrate compliance with regulatory and business drivers by implementing standard recovery practices

“Every moment matters to customers experiencing a cyber incident. Having a comprehensive and thoroughly tested incident response plan can be the difference between minimal disruption and massive impact,” said Vasu Murthy, Chief Product Officer, Cohesity. “By simplifying and automating every step of the complex cyber recovery process, RecoveryAgent helps customers boost resilience and respond faster with more confidence to cyber incidents. The world’s largest organizations trust Cohesity because we understand the impact of cyber incidents and consistently offer new solutions like RecoveryAgent to help our customers be more confident in their cyber readiness and recovery.”

Seamless Integration for Enhanced Cyber Resilience
RecoveryAgent automates time-consuming and manual tasks such as vulnerability scanning, malware scanning, and data classification into a structured blueprint. It can also automate forensics investigation, configuration hardening, and patching when orchestrated on virtual machines that are recovered within the solution. These capabilities are powered by Cohesity’s Data Security Alliance, which integrates with leading security vendors to help security teams become more agile and productive. Additionally, RecoveryAgent enhances Cohesity’s existing clean room solution, making activation faster and more intuitive.  

“AntemetA has a complex technology infrastructure, and as a result, we need solutions developed with extensive field experience to enable us to be as effective as possible, especially as we are exposed to increasing amount of cyber risks,” said Stéphane Colin, CTO, AntemetA. “This is only possible with trusted partners who take time to understand our unique complexity and work with us to ensure our data can be recovered with confidence and our services guarantee the highest level of resilience, whatever cyber challenges we face. We have a longstanding partnership with Cohesity because it continues to develop solutions like RecoveryAgent, which help us deliver more relevant and effective services. That, in turn, has earned us an equally long-lasting trust from our customers.”

RecoveryAgent is the first new offering to emerge from the joint development efforts of Cohesity and Veritas since the companies came together in December. By combining the capabilities of NetBackup Recovery Blueprints and Recommended Recovery Points with AI-powered intelligence and innovation native to DataProtect, RecoveryAgent is an example of the rapid innovation enabled by integrating both companies’ technology. It also highlights Cohesity’s commitment to simplifying user experiences and enhancing customer confidence in cyber resilience strategies.
