New Regional HQ and Company’s First Customer Experience Centre Start Operations

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 12 April 2023 – Positioning itself as the cybersecurity leader in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) that protects critical applications, APIs, and data, anywhere at scale, Imperva, Inc., (@Imperva) unveils a Network and Security Operations Centre (NOC/SOC) in Singapore. The NOC/SOC will enable it to better understand the cyberattacks occurring in the region, and help customers more quickly navigate the complex business risks associated with those attacks.

Singapore’s open economy and its presence as a major centre for trade, finance, and logistics make it a target for a myriad of sophisticated attacks like API abuse, automated fraud, DDoS attacks, and business logic attacks daily. According to an Imperva Threat Research report, attacks targeting Singapore businesses more than doubled in the second half of 2022, in comparison to the same time period in 2021. It has become crucial to protect against attacks that can potentially impact the wider regional and global economy.

The NOC monitors Imperva’s globally-distributed network and IT infrastructure, ensuring that everything is running smoothly for Imperva customers. If issues arise, they can be detected and resolved quickly to minimise downtime. Long-term, this will help Imperva deliver consistent services with better uptime. The SOC is responsible for monitoring systems for security threats and vulnerabilities. With a SOC based in the region, Imperva can maintain and bolster the integrity and availability of its security services.

This investment in a regional NOC and SOC will help our customers navigate complex security and compliance risks. This NOC/SOC joins its global network of NOC/SOC’s that provide 24/7 protection and support to Imperva customers around the world, through its follow-the-sun model.

Today’s NOC/SOC opening follows the establishment of the Imperva office in Singapore in 2017, and the subsequent expansion of the Company’s presence to Australia, China, India, Japan, and Taiwan.

Singapore is the Imperva headquarters for the APJ region. Concurrent with the opening of this NOC/SOC, the Singapore office has also doubled in size, housing employees from functions like engineering, finance, legal, marketing, professional services, and sales.

Imperva is also strengthening its local data centre infrastructure in the region. There are currently 15 PoPs (Point of Presence) across APJ, with more planned for this year. Through these investments, Imperva continues to provide the right level of protection, performance, and availability to its APJ customers.

New Facility Houses the first Imperva APJ Customer Experience Centre, and Supports Cybersecurity Talent Development

Occupying the same space in downtown Suntec City is the first Imperva Customer Experience Centre in APJ. Customers can visit the facility to meet with Imperva experts, see threat intelligence data in real-time, and use solutions from Imperva hands-on.

Imperva will also harness its new facility to support the industry’s efforts to develop a pipeline of cybersecurity professionals for the region. Imperva has an ongoing internship program with the National University of Singapore. Students gain valuable hands-on experience providing technical support to customers, while being mentored by the brightest security engineers in the company. At the end of the program, they will have a deeper understanding of application and data security, as well as exposure and experience with the latest technologies in cybersecurity in a state-of-the art environment.

“The opening of today’s trio of facilities highlights our long-term interest and commitment to Singapore, and to APJ,” says George Lee, Imperva Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific and Japan. “Our thousands of customers here deserve world-class standards of support, and Imperva will continue to invest to provide them with the highest levels of protection, performance, and availability.”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 12 April 2023 – CHINA ISOTOPE & RADIATION CORPORATION (“CIRC”) (01763.HK) held its 2022 Annual Results Investor and Analysts Presentation in Hong Kong on 11 April, attracting a number of well-known investment institutions. CIRC attaches great importance to this opportunity to on-site communicate with investors and analysts. Mr. Wang Suohui, Chairman and Secretary of the Party Committee; Mr. Xu Hongchao, Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Party secretary; Mr. Du Jin, Executive Director and Chief Engineer; and Mr. Gui Youquan, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Joint Company Secretary, attended this presentation. Shareholder representative Mr. Hu Song and Independent Director Mr. Poon Chiu kwok were also invited to attend the conference.

According to the 2022 Annual Results announcement of CIRC, during the reporting period, CIRC took multiple measures to coordinate production and operation, and achieved annual operating revenue of RMB 6.146 billion, with a YoY growth of 19.5%; Net profit attributable to the owner of the parent company was RMB 392 million, with a YoY increase of 16.6%. Major economic indicators such as revenue, total profit, net profit and economic value added etc. all achieved rapid growth, and the operating performance reached the best in history.

At the presentation, Mr. Gui Youquan, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Joint Company Secretary of CIRC, said that in 2022, the company optimized the business model. On the basis of the steady growth of the overall performance, the outstanding performance of all business segments has increased. Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are still the largest business segment of the company. In 2022, it contributed 64% of the revenue. The company will continue to promote the development of the existing industry and steadily increase its influence in the field of nuclear medicine.

“Research and development capability is an indispensable lifeblood for the development of a company,” said Mr. Du Jin, Executive Director and Chief Engineer of CIRC. In 2022, the company invested RMB 300 million in research and development expenses, a YoY increase of 53%, accounting for 4.9% of revenue. This increase in research and development investment has helped to promote the high-quality development of the company. During the year, the company made multiple layouts in the field of science and technology research and development and achieved breakthrough progress in several in-progress projects for radiopharmaceuticals. The sodium fluoride [18F] injection project completed all clinical trial research, officially submitted a registration application and was accepted, and 6 drugs have been submitted for IND acceptance. In terms of the construction of scientific research platforms, the first International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Collaboration Center on Production and application of medical radioisotopes, radiopharmaceuticals, industrial radiotracers and sealed sources in Asia has been established in CIRC, and multiple national-level scientific research and development platforms have been approved. These new breakthroughs in the construction of scientific research platforms have provided a guarantee for enriching the company’s product development pipeline and promoting further development of scientific research projects.

Currently, China’s medical equipment industry has entered a new stage of systematic development. Mr. Xu Hongchao, Executive Director, General Manager, and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of CIRC, stated that in implementing the “14th Five-Year Plan” for the development of the medical equipment industry, the company will focus on two major industrial directions: Nuclear Healthcare and radiation applications, actively implementing the “nuclear industry power” and “healthy China” strategies. As China’s nuclear medicine industry gradually enters a phase of high-speed development, the company has already established multiple radiopharmaceutical pipelines in the fields of tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, and will continue to promote the independent research and development of nuclear medical equipment. The domestically developed intelligent Cobalt-60 cone beam focused stereotactic radiotherapy system is undergoing clinical trials, and the company is continuously narrowing the gap between China’s high-end radiotherapy technology and the world’s leading level, promoting the early realization of localization of high-end radiotherapy products through practical actions.

Finally, Mr. Wang Suohui, Chairman and Secretary of the Party Committee of CIRC, said that 2023 is the opening year of the comprehensive implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, the key year of the implementation of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, and also the 40th anniversary of the establishment of CIRC and the 5th anniversary of its listing. CIRC, as the main force of China National Nuclear Corporation to advance towards people’s life and health technology and the main channel for the transformation of advanced nuclear scientific and technological achievements, shoulders the dual responsibilities of building a “powerful country in the nuclear industry” and a “healthy China”. We will keep our mission in mind, deeply plant the concept of “lean, standard, reform and high efficiency”, vigorously practice the speed of “immediate action and rapid completion”. We will continue to promote the implementation of the “14th Five-Year Plan” task, and contribute to the development of a bigger, stronger and better nuclear technology industry. CIRC will continue to create greater value for customers and shareholders in the future.

Trend Micro report shows how criminal organizations come to resemble legitimate businesses

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 12 April 2023 – Trend Micro (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today published new research detailing how criminal groups start behaving like corporations as they grow bigger, but that this comes with its own attendant costs and challenges.

To read a full copy of the report, Inside the Halls of a Cybercrime Business, please visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hk/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/inside-the-halls-of-a-cybercrime-business

Jon Clay, VP of threat intelligence at Trend Micro: “The criminal underground is rapidly professionalizing – with groups beginning to mimic legitimate businesses that grow in complexity as their membership and revenue increases. However, larger cybercrime organizations can be harder to manage and have more ‘office politics,’ poor performers, and trust issues. This report highlights to investigators the importance of understanding the size of the criminal entities they’re dealing with.”

A typical large organization allocates 80% of its operating expenses to wages, with the figure similarly high (78%) for small criminal organizations, according to the report. Other common expenses include infrastructure (servers/routers/VPNs), virtual machines, and software.

The study outlined three types of organizations based on size, using examples where Trend Micro collected the most data from law enforcement and insider information.

Small criminal businesses (e.g., Counter Anti-Virus service Scan4You):

• Typically, one management layer, 1-5 staff members, and under $500K in annual turnover.
• Their members often handle multiple tasks within the group and also have a day job on top of this work.
• Comprise the majority of criminal businesses, often partnering with other criminal entities.

Medium-sized criminal businesses (e.g., bulletproof hoster MaxDedi):

• Typically have two management layers, 6-49 employees, and up to $50m in annual turnover.
• They usually have a pyramid-style hierarchical structure with a single person in charge.

Large criminal business (e.g., ransomware group Conti):

• Typically have three management layers, 50+ staff, and $50m+ in annual turnover.
• Feature relatively large numbers of lower management and supervisors.
• Implement effective OPSEC and partner with other criminal organizations.
• Those in charge are seasoned cyber-criminals and hire multiple developers, administrators, and penetration testers – including short-term contractors.
• They may have corporate-like departments (e.g., IT, HR) and even run employee programs, such as performance reviews.

According to the report, knowing the size and complexity of a criminal organization can provide critical clues to investigators, such as what types of data to hunt for.

For example, larger criminal entities may store employee lists, financial statements, company guides/tutorials, M&A documents, employee crypto wallet details, and even shared calendars to probe.

Understanding the size of targeted criminal organizations can also allow law enforcers to prioritize better which groups should be pursued for maximum impact.
