First held in 1995, the Ulsan Whale Festival has continued annually – except during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) – and has become the signature festival of Nam-gu District. Now in its 29th year, the event celebrates Ulsan’s identity as the City of Whales.

This year’s theme, “Gift From A Whale,” aims to share messages of hope, courage, love, and happiness with visitors.

The 2025 festival introduces immersive experiences and interactive exhibitions using artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and augmented reality (AR). These programs will highlight whale ecology and the importance of marine conservation in engaging and accessible ways.

“Visitors will be able to experience whale ecosystems and the marine environment more vividly through these future-focused experience zones,” said a Nam-gu official.

The opening ceremony will feature performances by popular artists Park Ji-hyun and Kim Da-hyun, setting a festive tone for the four-day celebration. Throughout the festival, local artists will also present a variety of cultural performances and programs.

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.”
