TC&C Receives Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Global New Product Innovation Recognition for Real-Time Deepfake Detection

The recognition acknowledges TC&C’s Deepfake Guard platform for pioneering real-time, enterprise-grade protection against synthetic media threats through innovation, scalability, and customer-focused design.

SAN ANTONIO, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that TC&C has been awarded the 2025 Global New Product Innovation Recognition in the real-time deepfake detection industry for its outstanding achievements in technology innovation aimed at proactive threat mitigation, which delivers substantial value to customers.

This recognition highlights TC&C’s leadership in redefining enterprise communication security through its next-generation platform, Deepfake Guard.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. TC&C excelled in both, demonstrating a clear product-market fit and the ability to scale secure AI-driven solutions across regulated industries. “TC&C’s Deepfake Guard is not just a defensive tool—it’s a proactive shield designed for real-world operational environments,” said Elka Popova, research, vice president at Frost & Sullivan. “Its unique ability to detect and neutralize AI-driven voice and video impersonation during live interactions, rather than relying on post-event analysis, gives it a clear edge in enterprise-grade protection.”

Guided by a strategy rooted in direct industry engagement and iterative product development, TC&C has proven its ability to respond to high-impact challenges with highly effective, readily deployable solutions. The company’s investment in multimodal detection, contextual threat evaluation, and dynamic response capabilities has enabled Deepfake Guard to perform at scale in demanding environments such as financial services, healthcare, and customer contact centers.

TC&C’s highly innovative approach enables it to deliver compelling and differentiated capabilities to customers. Deepfake Guard evaluates audiovisual, linguistic, and behavioral signals concurrently to identify threats as they emerge. Its layered defense model—combining the DFG Analysis Engine, Feedback and Alerting Engine, and proprietary Deepfake Captcha Engine—enables active intervention during live communication sessions. The platform integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and TC&C’s own compliance stack while offering deployment flexibility across cloud, on-premises, and mobile infrastructures. “We are incredibly honored to receive Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Global New Product Innovation Recognition for Deepfake Guard. This award validates our unwavering commitment to pioneering a holistic, real-time deepfake detection platform that protects the very core of enterprise communications: trust. Unlike traditional solutions that focus solely on identity verification, Deepfake Guard proactively neutralizes AI-driven impersonation in live interactions across audio, video, images, and text, by assessing the authenticity of the communication itself. We believe this unique, multi-layered approach provides unparalleled security for businesses in an increasingly vulnerable digital world, ensuring their operations and reputation remain safeguarded against evolving synthetic media threats, even before any damage is done.” said Csaba Juhasz, Chief Executive Officer at TC&C.

TC&C’s focus on real-time detection is matched by a robust service and support framework. Its customer engagement model includes structured onboarding, multilingual training, 24/7 technical escalation, and localized support through regional distribution partnerships. These initiatives ensure seamless implementation and sustained alignment with customer objectives. Clients benefit from continuous system optimization, proactive updates, and transparent auditability, which are crucial for regulated sectors that rely on forensic-grade documentation and evidence traceability.

Frost & Sullivan commends TC&C for setting a new standard in enterprise threat detection. Deepfake Guard’s ability to operate at high volume with low latency, combined with infrastructure-agnostic design and dynamic inference adaptation, delivers a compelling value proposition to enterprises seeking scalable, future-proof protection. Its customer-first innovation cycle, backed by rigorous testing and client co-development, positions the company as a market leader in secure communications.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the New Product Innovation Recognition to a company that has introduced an innovative product that delivers superior value and addresses critical customer pain points. The recognition honors organizations that bring fresh thinking, technical excellence, and measurable market impact to the industries they serve.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognitions acknowledge companies in regional and global markets for outstanding achievement in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.

From Indonesia to Malaysia: Elitery Accelerates Regional Expansion with Local Partnership in Malaysia

JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PT Data Sinergitama Jaya Tbk (Elitery), a leading provider of Managed IT Services in Indonesia, has officially announced its business expansion into Malaysia through the establishment of a new entity, Elitery Global Technology Sdn. Bhd. This expansion is part of Elitery’s global growth strategy to strengthen its competitive edge and business resilience amid a rapidly evolving technology landscape. As an initial step, Elitery Global Technology Sdn. Bhd. has entered into a strategic partnership with Iloken System Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysia-based technology company with a strong track record in digital solutions and systems integration.

“Our expansion into Malaysia through our subsidiary, Elitery Global Technology Sdn. Bhd., marks a strategic move to penetrate the regional market and accelerate global growth. Through the acquisition of Iloken System Sdn. Bhd., we have secured a local partner with highly competent talent, a proven business track record, and relevant experience in delivering critical digital infrastructure projects in Malaysia,” said Kresna Adiprawira, President Director of Elitery.

According to Kresna, Elitery’s decision to acquire rather than build from the ground up was driven by the strategic advantages Iloken System brings. Iloken System already has a solid operational foundation and significant potential for joint growth. The company has successfully developed emergency response systems (line one emergency system) and flood warning systems in Malaysia, along with a strong portfolio of recurring clients.

The decision to expand into Malaysia was based on strategic analysis of the country’s market potential and its digital ecosystem readiness. Malaysia is currently experiencing rapid growth in the fields of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber security. According to the report Gartner: Information Security, Worldwide Forecast, 1Q25 Update, Malaysia’s spending on information security is projected to increase by 84% between 2023 and 2029, driven by escalating digital threats and nationwide transformation initiatives. Meanwhile, the public cloud market is expected to reach USD 2.82 billion by 2025. In addition, Statista Market Insights: Generative AI – Malaysia (2024) projects that the generative AI market in Malaysia will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.98% from 2025 to 2031, starting at an estimated USD 333 million.

This momentum is no coincidence. Leading global technology companies such as Google, AWS, Oracle, and Microsoft have committed multi-billion-dollar investments in Malaysia, establishing data centers, public cloud infrastructure, and AI capabilities. With progressive digital policies and attractive investment incentives from the government, Malaysia is rapidly positioning itself as a strategic hub for digital transformation in Southeast Asia.

At the same time, the growing demand for reliable technology partners has become increasingly crucial. Local institutions and industries in Malaysia are actively looking for digital transformation partners with strong expertise in cloud systems integration, IT automation, and data protection. Elitery sees this as a strategic opportunity to bring significant value, leveraging its proven track record in the Indonesian market.

“We believe this marks the beginning of a new chapter for Elitery, transitioning from a national leader into a regional enabler of digital change. With collaboration and innovation at our core, we are committed to supporting Southeast Asia’s digital transformation journey. ” Kresna concluded.

About Elitery:

Elitery (PT. Data Sinergitama Jaya Tbk) is an IT managed services company specializing in information technology, particularly in cloud technology. With over 14 years of experience, we are committed to delivering excellent services to our clients. Backed by a solid reputation, Elitery is trusted by global cloud service providers such as Google Cloud as a go-to-market partner in Indonesia.

Since 2011, Elitery has handled numerous mission-critical systems accessed by tens of millions of users daily. Our clientele spans various sectors, both private and public. With our proven experience and capabilities, we are confident in our ability to serve as a reliable partner for your organization’s digital transformation journey.

In both 2023 and 2024, Elitery was honored with the prestigious Public Sector Partner of the Year – Asia Pacific award from Google Cloud for two consecutive years. In 2024, Elitery also officially joined the Google Cloud Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) initiative marking a strategic move to enhance our cybersecurity services.

Throughout 2024, Elitery achieved several other significant milestones, including receiving the Indonesia Best CX-EX Strategy Award 2024 from SWA, and being recognized as a Great Place to Work (GPTW) 2024, reflecting our commitment to strong governance and an inclusive, collaborative work environment.

Empowering Smart Enterprises: HashMicro’s Role in Singapore’s Digital Future

SINGAPORE, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore’s digital economy is on track to contribute over 17% to GDP by 2025, with estimates placing its value at more than $30 billion, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). Supported by initiatives like Smart Nation, Digital Enterprise Blueprint, and CTO-as-a-Service, the country’s digital push is accelerating across industries, driven by infrastructure readiness, policy clarity, and the business community’s appetite for smarter, more connected systems.

HashMicro real-time dashboard for increased company performance

Yet even in one of the world’s most digitally advanced nations, transformation isn’t always straightforward. Many established companies, especially larger enterprises with legacy systems, grapple with change management, integration complexity, and operational continuity. As Singapore transitions toward a future led by intelligent, data-driven enterprises, success hinges on more than adopting new technology; it requires a well-rounded ecosystem where access, talent, regulation, and trust work in sync.

This is the role HashMicro plays. As a homegrown enterprise software provider with strong roots in Southeast Asia, HashMicro is not only delivering powerful ERP solutions, but it’s also helping shape the digital foundation on which smart enterprises can scale, adapt, and lead. The company’s growth in Singapore and beyond is grounded in its commitment to building this ecosystem regionally.

HashMicro’s approach begins with access, ensuring technology is not just available, but usable and effective. Many large companies today still operate in silos, with separate systems for procurement, inventory, HR, and finance. HashMicro’s ERP suite integrates these into one centralized platform, offering real-time visibility, custom automation, and modular flexibility. “We’re not here to rip and replace,” explains Lusiana Lu, Chief of Business Development at HashMicro. “We enhance existing processes, modernize workflows, and make it intuitive for teams to adapt.”

Beyond access, talent enablement is key. HashMicro believes that software doesn’t drive transformation; people do. That’s why the company invests heavily in internal training, client onboarding, and user education. Its consultants are trained to align technology with business outcomes, ensuring every deployment delivers practical impact. “Our goal isn’t just to implement systems, it’s to build digital confidence within organizations,” Lusiana shares.

The third piece is regulatory readiness. With Singapore’s well-defined but evolving compliance landscape, enterprises need systems that are both agile and localized. From IRAS GST reporting to MOM payroll standards, HashMicro ensures that its platforms are always up to date with regulatory requirements. This level of localization not only reduces risk but also gives companies the clarity to expand confidently across borders.

But above all, what sets HashMicro apart is its ability to build trust. In an era of tech fatigue and overpromised innovation, trust becomes the true catalyst for change. For HashMicro, that trust is built through reliability, partnership, and long-term commitment. “We’ve worked with enterprises across logistics, retail, construction, and manufacturing, many of them with complex setups and high compliance needs,” Lusiana explains. “They don’t just need software, they need a partner who understands their business inside out.”

HashMicro’s success in Singapore is part of a broader mission to support smart enterprises across Asia. As it deepens its presence in markets like Indonesia, the Philippines, and beyond, its model remains consistent: build systems that make sense, invest in people, stay aligned with local needs, and deliver results clients can trust.

By empowering businesses with seamless technology, guided onboarding, and localized intelligence, HashMicro is enabling enterprises not just to adopt digital tools but to thrive as leaders in the digital economy. In doing so, it’s helping define what a smart enterprise truly looks like: agile, integrated, and future-ready.

 

Korean Ginseng Makes a Strong Debut in Taiwan! K-Food Teams Up with Taiwanese Sports Stars to Launch a New Wave of Health Trends

HONG KONG, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To promote K-Food Korean ginseng, the aT Center Hong Kong (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation Hong Kong Branch) joined forces with Taiwanese sports celebrities and cheerleading icons in Taipei this June.

Athletes Bring the Power of Ginseng to Life

Renowned for its high nutritional value, Korean ginseng is being promoted through the K-Food campaign by the aT Center Hong Kong. Prominent Taiwanese athletes were invited to serve as ambassadors, leveraging their energetic and healthy image to showcase the many benefits of ginseng. Kai-Yen Lee shared touching family stories to create an emotional connection to ginseng, while Wei-Chia Kuo-Mao engaged the public through fun basketball games that highlighted its effects. Both athletes believe Korean ginseng products help them recover quickly before and after training. Meanwhile, cheerleading icon Lin Dai-Ying couldn’t get enough of Korean ginseng drink products specially designed for women—her go-to secret for a radiant glow.

More Than Just Red Ginseng! A Variety of Ginseng Products Enter Taiwan

In addition to the familiar red ginseng drink, this K-Food campaign introduced a variety of Korean ginseng products to Taiwanese consumers. These include black ginseng, sliced ginseng, ginseng tea, and ginseng products developed specifically for infants and young children—catering to a wide range of age groups and needs. The aT Center hopes to convey that Korean ginseng isn’t just a rare health supplement, but a nutritious daily option suitable for the whole family.

Expanding Market Presence and Promoting Korea–Taiwan Food Exchange

Hyunhoo Kim, Director of the aT Center Hong Kong, stated that Taiwan is one of the major export markets for Korean food. By partnering with Taiwanese sports stars, the campaign aims to raise awareness of Korean ginseng in Taiwan and create opportunities to export a wider variety of ginseng products. Looking ahead, the aT Center plans to use marketing strategies tailored to Taiwanese consumer preferences to introduce K-Food products that align with local trends, ultimately deepening the food culture exchange between Korea and Taiwan.

Xuan Wu Cloud Wind ESG rating upgraded to A level, accompanied by exceptional sustainability performance

GUANGZHOU, China, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, according to the latest rating report released by Wind, an authoritative domestic ESG rating agency, the ESG rating of Xuan Wu Cloud (2392.HK) has been upgraded from BBB to A. The company’s overall ESG score is 7.84 (out of 10), ranking 19th out of the 181 rated enterprises in the software industry of the A-share and Hong Kong stock market, among the top 10% of the industry. This rating result is also an authoritative recognition of Xuan Wu Cloud’s innovative practice and continuous cultivation in the ESG field.

According to the information provided, the Wind ESG Rating System is based on international standards, combined with the characteristics of China’s capital market. It evaluates companies’ substantial ESG risks and sustainable management ability through more than 500 sub-indicators. The Wind ESG rating system defines an A-rated company as having a high level of corporate management, low ESG risk, and strong sustainable development capability. In the software industry, only 13.26% of companies received an A rating. It is worth mentioning that Xuan Wu Cloud’s scores in the three dimensions of environmental, social, and corporate governance all significantly exceeded the industry average.

Xuan Wu Cloud’s improved rating stems from its systematic ESG management system and multidimensional practical innovations. In 2024, Xuan Wu Cloud established the ESG mission of “Assisting enterprises in sustainable development through digital intelligence” and achieved high-quality development in the ESG field through four dimensions: improving an efficient, standardized governance system; constructing an open ecosystem for value co-creation with stakeholders; creating excellent products and services; and assisting enterprises in digital intelligence transformation and practicing green development.

Specifically, at the corporate governance level, Xuan Wu Cloud has systematically built a comprehensive ESG management system. The Company has constructed a four-tier ESG governance structure, comprising the Board of Directors and its associated committees (Audit, Remuneration, and Nomination Committees), the President’s Office, and a dedicated ESG working group in collaboration with various business units. At the same time, the Company’s governance structure is designed to adhere strictly to the requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s Listing Rules, and this commitment is supported by the implementation of internal systems, including the Nomination Policy and the Policy on Diversity of Board Members. The Company’s Board of Directors includes three independent non-executive directors (including one female director), fully reflecting the diversity and independence of the governance structure.

At the same time, Xuan Wu Cloud has always adhered to high standards of business ethics in its daily operations, and has carried out multi-frequency trainings related to business ethics, anti-corruption and anti-monopoly, which continuously strengthens and improves the construction of a clean culture. In 2024, the company’s employees completed anti-commercial bribery and integrity training, with a 100% participation rate. This has led to significant improvements in Xuan Wu Cloud’s scores on substantive issues, such as anti-graft and corruption, and anti-monopoly and fair competition, surpassing the industry’s average. In terms of risk and compliance management, Xuan Wu Cloud’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors will review the Risk Management Policy on an annual basis to ensure the effective operation of the risk management and internal control system. In addition, Xuan Wu Cloud issued two issues of Risk Management Report internally in 2024 to address the company’s risk key points and enhance the efficiency of risk management.

In terms of social responsibility, Xuan Wu Cloud adheres to the concept of “customer first” and continues to provide customers with high-quality digital intelligence products and services. In the field of AI, for example, Xuan Wu Cloud has released vertical models for consumer goods business scenarios in the past year, such as the SKU super model and the industry’s only marketing domain model for the infant formula industry. The company has also released a matrix of AI intelligences, including development assistant, market mapping assistant, and business assistant, based on the aPaaS platform.

Meanwhile, as a technology enterprise being passionate about public welfare, Xuan Wu Cloud has a proven track record of actively supporting social welfare initiatives. In alignment with its business operations, the company has consistently contributed to community public welfare, promoting national fitness and other significant social causes. For instance, in 2024, Xuan Wu Cloud collected 149 pieces of materials within the company, and donated to people in need through the social work service station.

Xuan Wu Cloud places a significant emphasis on employee health and well-being within the organization. In terms of employee well-being, in addition to the compliance with national statutory employee benefits, the company also offers supplementary accident insurance, IT office subsidies, and various other benefits to its staff. The company fosters an inclusive and supportive organizational culture through regular events such as “Xuan Ai Week” and other employee activities. It also utilizes the effective “Xuan Wu Experience Officer” internal feedback mechanism to ensure employee satisfaction and growth.

Xuan Wu Cloud has established a comprehensive enterprise green development system, integrating it into the enterprise management strategy, daily operations, and the daily behaviors of all employees. In addition to promoting the enterprise’s commitment to conservation efforts, Xuan Wu Cloud has consistently organized staff members to participate in various environmental initiatives. These initiatives include public welfare activities, low-carbon walks, and collection of used batteries, among others. Through these actions, Xuan Wu Cloud demonstrates a commitment to promoting harmonious coexistence between enterprises and the environment.

Xuan Wu Cloud’s innovative practices and continuous development in the ESG field have earned the company several prestigious awards, including the “ESG Corporate Governance Excellence Enterprise” and the “JINGE AWARD: Annual ESG Pioneer Award,” both awarded by Gelonghui, and the “Best ESG Rising Star” awarded by China IR Annual Awards.

The upgrade of Wind’s ESG rating reflects Xuan Wu Cloud’s continuous innovation and practical effectiveness in the field of environmental, social, and corporate governance. It also reflects the capital market’s recognition of Xuan Wu Cloud’s ESG value. It is foreseeable that Xuan Wu Cloud’s excellent ESG performance will also become an important foundation for the company to continue to create value for all parties in society and realize sustainable business success.
