British Council to host its Going Global Asia Pacific Conference in Singapore

First regional edition of the British Council’s flagship global higher education conference provides a strategic forum for leaders in international education in the UK and Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 22 November 2022 – The British Council today announced its Going Global Asia Pacific Conference, which provides a strategic forum for leaders in international education to share knowledge and build a global network to shape the future of higher education across the world. The conference will take place from 28 November to 1 December 2022 in Singapore and is the first regional edition of the British Council’s flagship Going Global conference. It also marks 75 years of the British Council’s presence in Singapore and its role in advancing the city-state’s growth story through its work in the English language, Education, Arts and Culture.

The conference will explore the theme of International Education in the United Kingdom (UK) and Asia Pacific region: How to pursue equity in an inequitable world – an especially pertinent topic at a time when disparities in educational opportunities are on the rise due to the global pandemic. The conference aims to reimagine the future of education and build stronger, more inclusive, internationally connected education systems through exchange of insight, learning and ideas to benefit hundreds of millions of people across the UK and Asia Pacific region.

The conference will include both in-person and livestream sessions. The in-person events are being attended by 200 invited senior leaders in the tertiary education sector from 20 countries and territories, representing over 140 organisations across Asia Pacific and the UK at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Senior education leaders globally can also attend key segments of the conference online by registering for live stream sessions until 28 November 2022.

The conference will be opened by Maddalaine Ansell, Director of Education, British Council and attended by Sir Steve Smith, the UK Government’s International Education Champion. It will cover key themes including: The context for education in a changing world; Addressing gender gaps in higher education; Digital inclusion; How Higher Education Institutions can contribute to climate action, and many more.

Key speakers at the conference will include recognised leaders in the global education sector including Dr Libing Wang, Chief of Section for Educational Innovation and Skills Development for UNESCO Asia Pacific; James Crabtree, Executive Director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS-Asia); Rodora Turalde-Babaran, Director of Human Development at the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat; and Md. Mokhlesur Rahman, Senior Operations Officer at The World Bank, among others.

The United Kingdom is consistently ranked amongst the most popular destinations for higher education amongst students from across the Asia Pacific. Students from the region account for almost half of the UK’s 600,000 international students, including over 14,000 from Singapore alone. Some notable alumni from Singapore and the wider region include the current Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, the first female Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi and Pakistani female education activist and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai, to name a few.

Maddalaine Ansell, Director of Education, British Council, said: “We are thrilled to be hosting our first regional Going Global conference in Singapore this year – at the same time as we celebrate the British Council’s 75th anniversary in the city-state – and focusing on the Asia Pacific region. We are looking forward to robust discussions on a range of topics including how to ensure that educating international students overseas also builds higher education capacity in sending countries, and that partnerships between countries are equitable and benefit everyone involved. For close to 20 years, through our flagship Going Global conference the British Council has provided a strategic forum for leaders in international education to share knowledge and build global networks that shape the future of further and higher education across the world.”

Lucy Watkins, Regional Director East Asia, British Council, added: “The UK Higher Education sector has strong historic and academic ties with institutions across the Asia Pacific, but the impact of Covid 19, environment concerns and the dramatic rise in the prominence of the sector across the region require innovative collaborations to match these new realities. The British Council supports the formation of new partnerships and collaboration across the Asia Pacific in the tertiary education sector and, through the development of new models that will be explored at the conference, also supports the region’s drive to internationalise at home and create more equitable opportunities for all students.”

In addition to the various conference sessions and plenaries, there will be networking opportunities built into the agenda for in-person attendees, along with organised visits and in-person meetings with representatives from some of Singapore’s world class universities and polytechnics.

The next international Going Global conference will be held towards the end of 2023. For more information on Going Global Asia Pacific 2022 please visit: https://www.britishcouncil.sg/events/going-global-asia-pacific-conference-2022.

Black Friday Scams: avoid online fraudsters with 5 useful security tips

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach -22 November 2022 – OctaFX has prepared a list of security tips that will come in handy during this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

OctaFX-Black-Friday.jpeg

The online frauds surrounding Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales have become a major concern recently. With so many people making purchases, it is easy for scammers and hackers to use some of their sophisticated techniques to defraud unsuspecting customers. Let’s look at the scams you might encounter during the upcoming shopping season and how to avoid them.

Top 5 online shopping scams to be aware of

The five most common online shopping scams mostly focus on either impersonating famous retailers or social engineering tricks, which usually end up in phishing attacks that aim at stealing your online identity. Being able to spot them is crucial in such an intense period when everything around you creates a sense of urgency and even fear (of missing out, in this case).

Fake retailer scam

During the shopping craze, it’s hard to identify all the luring offers and where they come from. You can easily find yourself on a site with a URL that almost precisely copies the address of a well-known and trusted retailer. The site would look very similar to the original one. However, it would be used to steal your login credentials, bank card information, or even money, should you place an order through it.

Fake advert scam

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Beware of adverts that promise unrealistically great deals. Those might either look like legitimate retailers (as described above) or try to develop their own branding. They might either make you pay for goods you’ll never receive, steal your payment info to use in another fraud, or do both. Before entering sensitive information, check if the URL is legitimate and if the reviews on trusted review sites are positive.

Fake order scam

Scammers might send you emails with either an order they claim you made or a tracking number for some of your orders. Those letters are usually sent from ‘typosquatting’ email addresses that are quite hard to spot, especially during the tense online shopping period. If you download a file attached to such an email or follow a link in it, hackers might inject malware into your computer and steal your login credentials or payment information.

Social media scam

During holidays, influencers on social media—Instagram in particular—often offer free giveaways, and scammers might create a similar giveaway pretending to be a famous person. In such posts, they include links that lead to phishing sites used for stealing users’ personal data.

Another scam commonly seen on social media is fake adverts that lead to similar malicious sites or cloned stores of well-known retailers.

Fake charity scam

During the holiday season, ensure that the money you donate does not go to scammers that set up a fake charity to exploit the heightened charitable spirit. Legitimate charities never urge you to donate ‘quickly’ or ‘act now’. Fake charities also ask for donations in gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrencies, and other methods that make the funds you send them almost impossible to track and reclaim.

Tips for Black Friday shopping

It’s hard to spot all the scams that exist. Yet, several useful tips will help you keep safe during the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

  • Shop only with legitimate online retailers. Check its reviews and ratings if you want to shop with a site you’ve never seen before.
  • Look for a padlock symbol in the address bar, confirming that your connection is secure and cannot be used to steal your personal data.
  • Do not use public Wi-Fi networks. Hackers can compromise that. If you still need to use it, turn on a VPN—it will encrypt your internet traffic, making it impossible for fraudsters to intercept it.
  • Use two-factor authentication to additionally confirm your identity via email notification, smartphone, PIN, fingerprints, or facial recognition.
  • Don’t save your bank cards with any online store. When buying something on the internet, make sure the site you are using is reliable and secure.
  • Don’t follow suspicious links or download attachments from suspicious emails. Double-check the info you receive with the online store if you need clarification on whether the email address is legitimate.

Following the tips above, you will be quite safe during this year’s holiday season. However, don’t let the sense of urgency and FOMO take away your vigilance— fraudsters, hackers, and scammers might take advantage of that.

The Singapore-headquartered cloud computing consultancy is the first ASEAN-headquartered AWS partner to attain the status.

MSSP-Image-2-.png

This designation recognizes that Cloud Comrade has successfully met AWS’s extensive list of requirements for a baseline of managed security services to protect and monitor essential AWS resources 24/7, known as Level 1 Managed Security Services (MSS). AWS introduced the Level 1 MSS baseline detailing ten foundational capabilities for MSSP partners to align their managed services to in August 2021, along with the Level 1 MSSP Competency, establishing an industry-first quality standard for customers to measure their security operations to.

These ten baseline categories, which Cloud Comrade has been validated against, include vulnerability management, cloud security best practices, and 24×7 threat detection and response.

Customers can confidently get the help they need for a holistic managed security service tailored for their uniquely challenging environments from validated Level 1 MSSP Competency Partners with these additional areas of specialization.

To attain the new AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency, Cloud Comrade underwent a rigorous validation process. AWS Partner Solution Architects validated Cloud Comrade’s technical proficiency and architecture for previously completed customer use cases and thought leadership in Managed Security Services.

Achieving the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency differentiates Cloud Comrade as an AWS Partner Network Premier Tier Consulting Partner with essential managed cloud security skill sets and industry-leading expertise in deploying customer solutions, seamless migration, proactive monitoring, and security on AWS.

“The AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency provides a faster and easier experience for customers to select the right MSSP to help them achieve their goals for business risk and cloud strategy confidence,” says Kirsten Gilbertson, Partner Sales Leader ASEAN at AWS. “It is no easy task to achieve the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency. Cloud Comrade is a valued partner of AWS, and its dedication to delivering the best-in-class cloud services for their customers propelled it to becoming the one of the first MSPs in Asia to obtain this competency.”

Cloud Comrade customers can now easily extend the benefits of their cloud infrastructure by leveraging the AWS MSSP-certified capabilities to help them find and address vulnerabilities, detect intrusions, and enable faster response to incidents while minimizing business disruptions.

Global Remote Vitals Monitoring platform provider HealthBeats is one satisfied customer of Cloud Comrade. “In the healthcare industry, we deal with highly sensitive and confidential health data. This makes security and data protection all the more paramount.” says Aileen Lai, CEO and Founder of HealthBeats. “Since day one we are founded, Cloud Comrade has helped us to create a reliable, secure, and scalable cloud infrastructure, complete with 24/7 managed security services to protect our cloud environments globally.

I believe more companies will benefit from the top notch security standards that Cloud Comrade provides.”

Says Andy Waroma, Co-managing Director, Cloud Comrade, “As digital transformation accelerates and cyber attacks become more sophisticated, cloud security is increasingly critical for organisations undergoing digital transformation. With AWS’s validation of our MSSP expertise, our customers will be able to increase their cloud security posture and maintain it with experts watching 24/7. This way, they can forge ahead and capture the new opportunities of their cloud innovation with a greater peace of mind, knowing they are getting an AWS-certified security service.

Magnetic Workplace Barometer: Businesses must put people first to retain and gain talent, and to drive sustainable business growth, new report reveals

TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach – 22 November 2022 – A new report by Economist Impact, sponsored by Kyocera Document Solutions, has revealed that human-centric strategies are needed for businesses to drive sustainable business growth, focusing on three pillars: productivity and infrastructure, employee engagement and culture. The Magnetic Workplace Barometer gauges confidence both today and five years across three main pillars of productivity and infrastructure; employee engagement; and culture. The barometer scores are scaled from 1 to 7, 7 being the most confident.

Key findings from the report include:

  • The US and Australia have shown commitment to developing workplace technology, employee engagement and culture, whilst Japan comparatively performs less well on the barometer, due to a less flexible working culture.
  • 74.8%* of surveyed companies globally are confident about the future of digital collaboration, saying they are confident about providing their organisations with the tech infrastructure needed to facilitate greater productivity within the next five years.
  • The retail, media and IT and financial industries will perform best in the workplace of the future, whilst the construction and real estate industries will struggle.
  • Employees care about workforce diversity and wellbeing now more than ever, and 68%* of respondents feel confident their organisations have introduced recruitment processes that enhance diversity, with demand for D&I only set to grow following recent global reckonings on issues of race and gender.
  • Investment in virtual reality will enable teams to bridge physical distance and boost productivity, but companies must simultaneously invest in human-centric policies that are considerate of individual employees’ needs.

Drawn from a survey of 250 business executives from Australia, Germany, Japan, the UK, and the US, The magnetic workplace: Keys to unlock sustainable growth for business examines the human-centric strategies and attributes that make somewhere a ‘magnetic’ place to work, as organisations continue to evolve with a shifting employment landscape. Participants from companies including Stripe, PwC and Google were asked to quantify their confidence in the appeal of their workplace for employees both now and in five years’ time.

In the wake of the pandemic’s impact on workplace norms, the challenge of attracting and retaining talent is more prevalent than ever. Increasingly, organisations are being obligated to shift their focus onto previously underexplored facets of the workplace. In addition to digital technology’s importance link with improved productivity, addressing issues of diversity, inclusion, and gender equality, establishing workforce culture and meeting a growing demand for hybrid work are all key elements that are shown to establish “magnetic workplaces” and lead sustainable business growth.

The Barometer also highlighted a need for companies to rethink performance management, due to a growing decentralisation of the workplace. Shifting to an outcome-driven style of management is shown to encourage transparency and trust between managers and employers, whilst more frequent assessments and personal goals suggested to encourage transparency and trust between managers and employers. Job-crafting, which is defined as allowing employees to have a hand in shaping their role, was also found to have improved employee job satisfaction and engagement.

The Magnetic Workplace Barometer reveals that the US is the leader when it comes to confidence in establishing magnetic workplaces, scoring above the global average, and displaying a strong commitment to investment in tech tools, flexible work and conscious leadership. In contrast, Japan is less certain about facilitating flexible working, or bolstering technological infrastructure, though 52%* of Japanese respondents expressed optimism for flexible working arrangements in the future.

Commenting on the report, lead editor Naka Kondo at Economist Impact said: “Organisations must put their people first if they want to remain an attractive workplace. Digital technology will be the key resource for companies to facilitate and engage with existing and prospective employees’ changing demands and help to mitigate against an increasingly decentralised workplace. Whilst companies globally are optimistic, they must ensure they continue to prioritise human-centric strategies in order to drive sustainable growth.”

*where we state a certain % of respondents are confident, it means they indicated a confidence level of 5 or greater

The keys to unlocking the magnetic workplace

Pillar 1: Technology and productivity

Digital technologies are the bedrock of the magnetic workplace. With strong investments in the latest technologies and a culture of upgrading legacy systems, organisations are able to realise the gains from allowing employees to work where and when they are most productive. Remote work technologies, collaborative and automation technologies will be necessary ingredients to empower workers with more autonomy and access to skills development opportunities.

Performance management is changing, as more companies rethink what values and outcomes matter to them. The growing decentralisation of the workplace will require companies to shift to a style of performance management that is outcome-driven and continuous to encourage transparency and trust between managers and employers.

Pillar 2: Employee engagement

Flexible work is here to stay, especially among industries where remote work arrangements have the biggest impacts such as media and IT (5.76), finance and insurance (5.57), and retail (5.56). Magnetic workplaces can leverage flexible work options to provide employees with more autonomy, but also to access more diverse talent. Flexible work allows employees to work in a way that maximises their performance and increases productivity for sustainable business growth.

Magnetic workplaces are not focused on just attracting and retaining talent, but upskilling and developing existing employees. Employees are actively looking for companies that foster upskilling and career growth, and companies that can meet these demands will see their retention improve.

The advent of more flexible work will require more skilled managers equipped with new approaches to employee engagement. This next generation of managers need to be able to manage scattered workforces and encourage effective communication via digital communication tools.

Pillar 3: Culture

Going all-in on diversity and inclusion can boost talent retention and attraction. Recent events have pushed issues of diversity and inclusion into the spotlight, especially as employees are actively looking to work with firms that share their values. Technology can help firms bolster their diversity and inclusion initiatives, but strong internal values are foundational to ensuring a magnetic workplace make them a reality.

A strong sense of alignment with a business’s overall goals can help drive employee retention. When employees feel tethered to a core set of values and a sense of purpose, they report better job satisfaction and productivity. Technology can help mediate this sense of disconnection by fostering better communication of company goals and in-team collaboration.

Work-life balance is a paramount concern in magnetic workplaces, especially as mental wellbeing is increasingly becoming an important factor for job-seekers. Companies that ensure workers’ personal time is protected tend to see improvements in worker productivity, health and satisfaction.

ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Freshworks Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – FRSH

New York, US – Newsfile Corp. – November 21, 2022 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted in September 2021 (the “IPO”), of the important January 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Freshworks securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company’s IPO were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the offering, the Company’s business had encountered obstacles. As a result, Freshworks’ net dollar retention rate was plateauing, and its revenue growth rate and billings were decelerating. As the truth about Freshworks’ business reached the market, the value of its shares declined dramatically, causing Freshworks investors to suffer significant damages. Indeed, by the commencement of the action, Freshworks’ shares traded as low as $10.51 per share, representing a decline of over 70% from the IPO price.

To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
