This year’s winners are leading the way through innovation, from adopting AI and strengthening cybersecurity to integrating ESG values into their core operations.

The Golden Bull Award goes beyond celebrating success to enabling growth. As 80.7% of SMEs ramp up marketing efforts and 64.5% plan to scale their operations, the Award opens doors, connecting ambitious businesses with the networks, platforms, and partnerships they need to thrive.

“This year’s Golden Bull Award is a testament not just to business success, but to business evolution,” said Datuk William Ng, National President of SAMENTA. “Our winners reflect the best of Malaysia’s entrepreneurial spirit: resilient, bold, and future-ready. With stronger government backing, they’re will be able reach even greater heights.”

Trend Micro uncovers the criminal playbook for deepfake-enabled cybercrime

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 July 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today released a new report exposing the scale and maturity of deepfake-enabled cybercrime. As generative AI tools become more powerful, affordable, and accessible, cybercriminals are rapidly adopting them to support attacks, ranging from business fraud to extortion and identity theft.

To read the full report, Deepfake it ’til You Make It: A Comprehensive View of the New AI Criminal Toolset, please visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hk/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/deepfake-it-til-you-make-it-a-comprehensive-view-of-the-new-ai-criminal-toolset

The report shows how deepfakes have moved beyond hype into real-world exploitation, undermining digital trust, exposing companies to new risks, and accelerating the business models of cybercriminals.

Tony Lee, Head of Consulting, Hong Kong & Macau, at Trend: “AI-generated media is not just a future risk, it’s a real business threat. We’re seeing executives impersonated, hiring processes compromised, and financial safeguards bypassed with alarming ease. This research is a wake up call—if businesses are not proactively preparing for the deepfake era, they’re already behind. In a world where seeing is no longer believing, digital trust must be rebuilt from the ground up.”

The research found that threat actors no longer need underground expertise to launch convincing attacks. Instead, they are using off-the-shelf video, audio, and image generation platforms, many of which are marketed to content creators, to generate realistic deepfakes that deceive both individuals and organizations. These tools are inexpensive, easy to use, and increasingly capable of bypassing identity verification systems and security controls.

The report outlines a growing cybercriminal ecosystem where these platforms are used to execute convincing scams, including:

• CEO fraud has become increasingly harder to detect as attackers use deepfake audio or video to impersonate senior leaders in real-time meetings.
• Recruitment processes are being compromised by fake candidates who use AI to pass interviews and gain unauthorized access to internal systems.
• Financial services firms are seeing a surge in deepfake attempts to bypass KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, enabling anonymous money laundering through falsified credentials.

The criminal underground is actively trading tutorials, toolkits, and services to streamline these operations. From step-by-step playbooks for bypassing onboarding procedures to plug-and-play face-swapping tools, the barrier to entry is now minimal.

As deepfake-enabled scams grow in frequency and complexity, businesses are urged to take proactive steps to minimize their risk exposure and protect their people and processes. This includes educating staff on social engineering risks, reviewing authentication workflows, and exploring detection solutions for synthetic media.Hashtag: #trendmicro #trendvisionone #visionone #cybersecurity

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 July 2025 – At the esteemed United Nations-led AI for Good Global Summit 2025, SenseRobot President Mark Ma delivered an insightful session titled “How Chess-Inspired AI Can Empower Human Learning.” The presentation marked SenseRobot’s debut on such a prestigious global United Nations platform; it served as a significant global showcase of China’s original AI technologies, reflecting the depth, wisdom, and ethical dimensions intrinsic to Chinese innovation.

How AI Enhances Learning, Family Bonds, and Inclusion—Not Replaces Them

In his engaging address, Mark raised a Central question: Can AI truly replace human learning, or can it deepen it? Drawing inspiration from chess, Mark demonstrated how SenseRobot effectively employs AI-powered robots to support cognitive development among young learners, foster meaningful intergenerational connections within families, and promote inclusive engagement for people with disabilities.

Mark emphasized that AI technology integrates mathematical precision, strategic reasoning, and accumulated human insight, resulting in a form of artificial intelligence deeply embedded in human experience and ethics. Highlighting the landmark accomplishments of AlphaGo alongside SenseRobot’s practical use in educational and familial settings, he emphasized a transformative shift: perceiving AI not as a replacement, but as a collaborative ally in human development.

The accompanying exhibition at the summit prominently showcased SenseRobot’s advanced technological capabilities, drawing widespread interest from attendees and international media alike. Featured products included the SenseRobot Chess Edition, the Go Edition, and the innovative two-in-one Chess-Go Robot, each demonstrating remarkable technical strengths such as millimeter-level robotic arm precision, high accuracy AI vision algorithms (99.9% recognition accuracy), and sophisticated hand-eye coordination. SenseRobot also exhibited its multi-level AI competence and its advanced Apex Duel mode, surpassing human champion-level chess performance.

SenseRobot’s influential presence at the AI for Good Conference marked a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy.

Looking ahead, SenseRobot continues to pursue its vision of human-centered technology. By blending innovation with tradition, data with empathy, and robotics with ethics, SenseRobot embodies a pioneering narrative in AI: technology created by people, designed for people’s enrichment.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 July 2025 – Cloud 11 announces its readiness to become Asia’s new creative destination. Backed by the region’s most comprehensive creative ecosystem – spanning production studios, creative facilities, a creative park, and hands-on courses, workshop, and training for creators, Cloud 11 now forges solid collaborations with 30 nationally and internationally recognized partners. These include the New York Film Academy, CJ ENM, prominent organizations in the film and content industry, as well as SM True, 88rising and 1500 Sound Academy from the music and entertainment sectors. Scheduled to open late this year, Cloud 11 in collaboration with its partners aim to drive, empower, and elevate the Thai creative industry to the global stage.

Mr. Onza Janyaprasert, Chief Executive Officer of Cloud 11, said, “We see a growing number of talented Thai creatives gaining international recognition. However, at the same time, the industry remains fragmented with opportunities to strengthen collaboration and infrastructure.”

“Cloud 11 was born from a clear vision – to empower creators and drive the growth of Thailand’s creative industry. More than just a property project, Cloud 11 is now emerging as the region’s most comprehensive content hub. It offers not only space, infrastructure, and world-class facilities, but also a dynamic ecosystem that connects creators of all levels, from emerging talents to established professionals. Currently, Cloud 11 is over 90% complete and on track for soft opening by the end of this year.”

Mr. Paul Sirisant, Managing Director of Cloud 11, said, “Cloud 11 is visualizing the ‘Creator Commerce’ concept, by positioning itself as both a creative space and a commercial platform where creators can bring their ideas to life and grow them into revenue-generating ventures. Our comprehensive creative facilities will support them in every stage, from upstream to downstream, all in one place. Today marks another important milestone for us as we officially announce partnerships with over 30 leading Thai and international organizations from various industries. These include renowned names in film and content production such as the New York Film Academy, Unformat Studio, T&B Media Global, and Beartai; music and entertainment powerhouses like SM True, CJ ENM, The Black Sea, 88rising, 1500 Sound Academy, Kantana Sound, and Cat Radio; as well as cultural and art institutions like Bangkok Kunsthalle and Documentary Club. We also partner with creator-focused and creative community organizations such as THE LEMON SHOT, Online Station, Floc, and Soho House.”

“Notably, the New York Film Academy – a world-renowned institution in acting, film, and creative media arts – and the globally respected 1500 Sound Academy will each launch their first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to bringing Thailand’s film and music industries to the next level,” Mr. Paul added.

Mr. James Fauntleroy, the singer-songwriter who has won four Grammy Awards and a co-founder of 1500 Sound Academy, said about his institute’s decision to partner with Cloud 11 that, “People are at the heart of the creative industry, and creativity flows within everyone. The best place for artists is where their creativity is not only welcomed but also actively nurtured to reach its full potential. I believe Cloud 11’s creative ecosystem will be a launchpad for the next generation, empowering young talents to become key forces in not just Thailand’s but also the world’s music scene. Here, creativity knows no limits. This collaboration is more than just the opening of an academy; it is the laying of long-term foundations for building the ‘human capital’ of the future.”

Mr. Michael Young, President and CEO of New York Film Academy, said about his institute’s partnership with Cloud 11, which will host his institute’s first training and workshop in Southeast Asia, “The New York Film Academy is committed to making film education accessible to students around the world. We chose to launch our first academy in Southeast Asia at Cloud 11 because it not only offers world-class studios, modern equipment, and cutting-edge film technology, but also shares our vision of empowering the next generation of creators through access to meaningful learning and development opportunities. We truly hope that this collaboration will help unlock creative potential and provide a platform for emerging creators in the region to express their perspectives, cultures, and identities—through the language of film—to audiences around the world.”

Cloud 11’s Creative Ecosystem embraces the following concepts:

Upstream: Talent Development

Cloud 11 aims to cultivate top talent for the creative industry through its academy, where learning, skill development, and capability building are promoted and nurtured. Creators will have access to workshops and programs offered by Cloud 11’s world-class partners such as the New York Film Academy and 1500 Sound Academy.

Midstream: Creative Production

To become a vibrant hub for content creation, Cloud 11 has developed a wide range of creative facilities that support creators in realizing their visions:

1. Creator Studio: Spanning over 2,500 square meters, this fully integrated content creation space is designed by RIOS, the team behind Spotify’s Content Campus and Sony Music HQ in Hollywood. The Creator Studio features professional-grade technology and welcomes both emerging creators and seasoned professionals.

It features a flexible air-conditioning system and super high-speed internet connectivity. In addition, Creator Village tenants receive one Creator Credit token for every square meter rented. Tokens can be redeemed for the use of studios and exhibition space.

Downstream: Value Creation

Cloud 11 seeks to create opportunities for all creators to express themselves and showcase their work by providing a full range of purpose-built spaces and stages. Open Box Theatre, with seating for 200 people, is ideal for debut performances by emerging artists. Cloud 11 Hall, with a capacity of up to 3,000 people, is a multifunctional venue that can host concerts, e-sports and expos. Art Exhibitions and Galleries offer dedicated spaces for artistic displays. Moreover, Cloud 11 has prepared Passion Playground for creators to transform their creative concepts into storefront businesses, ensuring every shop receives the spotlight it deserves. Cloud 11 Park, meanwhile, is designed not just as a recreational space but a vibrant park for exhibitions, events, and other creative activities throughout the year.

“Cloud 11 isn’t just for creators or organizational content producers, it’s for everyone who believes in the power of creativity. From budding artists, marketers and brand owners to creative enthusiasts and people looking for inspiration, Cloud 11 is a hub that fuels creativity and turns ideas into reality. And We believe that advancing Thailand’s creative industry forward requires industry-wide collaboration. That’s why Cloud 11 continues to seek and welcome partners who share our vision of bringing the Thai creative and entertainment industry to a global stage,” Mr. Paul concluded.

Cloud 11 is now over 90% complete. With structural construction fully finished, the project is now undergoing interior decoration phase. Schedule to launch at the end of 2025, Cloud 11 will soon unveil a new immersive experience through Cloud 11 Park—Bangkok’s largest rooftop park and a new green landmark in the heart of South Sukhumvit.
