<p>PLDT Enterprise and Cisco plan to cooperate and bring to market the technology and managed services that will enable enterprise customers to deploy Private 5G successfully and achieve better business outcomes. The companies plan to accelerate edge connectivity through PLDT Enterprise’s Managed Private 5G solution, so that their business partners will be able to seamlessly integrate Private 5G into their pre-existing LAN, WAN, and Cloud infrastructure. This enables enterprises to leverage their existing infrastructure for security, policy, and device management to take advantage of the benefits of 5G.
</p><p>
Together, the companies can rapidly enable critical Industry 4.0 capabilities such as push-to-talk, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), always connected PCs (for digital frontline workers), machine vision (e.g., predictive maintenance, PPE detection) and more.
</p><p>
Cisco and PLDT Enterprise intend to collaborate on specific customer use cases to support businesses in their digital transformation. The companies plan to focus on empowering computer vision for precise product quality analysis, enhancing predictive analytics for optimizing manufacturing equipment functionality and maintenance schedules, and advancing the integration of autonomous vehicles for streamlined product movement on factory floors.
</p><p>
Leveraging PLDT's Internet of Things (IoT) solution, these initiatives aim to significantly improve operational efficiency, drive innovation, reduce costs and contribute to the overall success of businesses undergoing digital transformation.
</p><p>
<i>“Together with PLDT Enterprise, we aim to help our customers accelerate digital transformation, with the power of 5G and Wi-Fi across IT and OT operations,”</i> said Jonathan Davidson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Networking. <i>“With Private 5G as-a-service, we are helping businesses to reduce the technical, financial, and operational risks associated with managing 5G networks, so they can focus on driving business agility and efficiency.”</i>
</p><p>
<i>“Our commitment is rooted in introducing cutting-edge capabilities and services, empowering our customers in their journey to digitally transform and modernize their businesses,”</i> said Jojo Gendrano, Senior Vice President and Head of Enterprise Business Group at PLDT and Smart. “As the first and only Philippine telco to be recognized as Cisco’s Gold Service Provider, we are exceptionally positioned to deliver a secure, reliable, and future-proof Private 5G network. This aligns with our overarching mission to drive businesses towards a digitally transformed future through connectivity and innovation.”

Their style deserves to be showcased on social media, and the realme 12 Pro+ 5G is the stylish new tool to bring fashion-forward ideas to life and share these with the world.</p>
<a name='more'></a>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="realme 12 Pro+ 5G Outfits" border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL_50iDrmbgn0J_Fz8leUyaOX9KbiZ33iWooowGNDhqL3aWIsp7WUWyxh6VFYQD8-izdt_hDcfKAKBIa_zkkzmTSvQOOhxgQfhWAESGvZ36GcHS0eCbccsERCceZWuqtK4kU-uT6ih68oH-10TlMjXvn4knRnkWGVx_vHp1AzYlr_ma1U1xTGFd9qeMAJE/s16000/realme-12-Proplus-5G-Outfits.webp" title="realme 12 Pro+ 5G Outfits" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">real talk: the realme 12 Pro+ 5G is a stylish piece that can up one’s fashion game</td></tr></tbody></table>
<p>Here are some ways to stand out online and in the world:
</p><p>
<b>Put together high-quality looks through minimalist pieces</b>
</p><p>
Minimalism in fashion remains timeless because it opposes flashy yet temporary trends. Simple pieces in neutral colors will remain in style season after season, so it’s no surprise that this aesthetic is still current. Looking good doesn’t necessarily mean having to wear over-the-top pieces.
</p><p>
To make sure minimalist ‘fits are showcased properly, the quality, material, and visual impact of the entire look must be captured with precise detail. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G and its three distinct cameras provide the perfect solution to this. The high-quality photos produced by the 64MP Periscope Portrait Lens allows quiet pieces to stand out and shine. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G currently has one of the highest resolution telephoto lenses on any smartphone camera in its segment, with up to 3x Telephoto Zoom and 6x In-Sensor Zoom for up close and personal portrait shots. Additionally, the realme 12 Pro+ 5G showcases the ultimate in versatility with its other two cameras. It has a 50MP Sony IMX890 Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) lens that allows users to take photos on the move, with no blurs and other interference, while its 8MP 112° Wide Angle camera is perfect for capturing backgrounds in OOTDs.
</p><p>
<b>Exude sophistication through chic and luxurious outfits</b>
</p><p>
A new trend that popped up recently is the quiet luxury aesthetic. This style champions understated elegance, refined taste, and high-quality pieces made with sumptuous materials. Quiet luxury, a style favored by those who favor traditional looks, is often associated with muted colors, rich materials like cashmere, and craftsmanship.
</p><p>
Channel the traditional look with a smartphone that’s not just stylish but looks upscale. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G accentuates chic, classic outfits with its Luxury Watch Design. Ollivier Savéo, an international luxury watch design master who has worked with labels like Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Piaget, Breitling, and Quentin, co-designed realme’s latest smartphone. He infused elements from luxury watchmaking into the smartphone, like a classic polished sunburst dial, a golden fluted bezel, and a 3D jubilee bracelet. The back has a silky, high-end vegan leather finish.
</p><p>
<b>Stand out with an urban and sophisticated ‘fit</b>
</p><p>
While understated elegance has its appeal, some choose to stand out and dazzle. Combining streetwear with luxury pieces makes a bold declaration of style with its contrast.
</p><p>
Highlight this eye-catching look with the realme 12 Pro+ 5G’s Master Portrait Filters. Claudio Miranda, an Oscar Award winner, took inspiration from Hollywood films to create exclusive filters that suit different ‘fits. Users can choose from any of the following available filters:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Journey:</b> Inspired by the hit movie “Life of Pi” with yellow tones and high contrast colors to create a “dream-like” tone</li><li><b>Memory:</b> Inspired by the film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” with cold tones and low-saturation colors for a calm and capable vibe</li><li><b>Maverick:</b> Inspired by the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” with yellow-green tones, high contrast, and high noise to create a retro film-like vibe</li></ul>
><p>Gen Z and millennials’ impact on the fashion industry extends beyond mere trends; it's a cultural movement that champions individuality and inclusivity. With their innovative style approach and widespread influence across different platforms, these groups shape the fashion landscape in many ways.

Until May 12th, players can now experience the new themed mode Skyhigh Spectacle and battle across the Nimbus Islands, a pair of islands offering players unique ways to engage in intense battles and strategic gameplay. Metro Royale Chapter 19 also receives updates and fixes, whilst World of Wonder sees new improvements, including an all-new feature allowing players to design their own dream homes inside PUBG MOBILE.</p>

<p>The Version 3.1 Update, which releases in line with PUBG MOBILE’s sixth anniversary, sees the Nimbus Islands invite PUBG MOBILE players to vary their gameplay. The Nimbus Islands offer different combat experiences, while Sky Isle (Day) is illuminated and ideal for intense firefights, Sky Isle (Night) provides a darker, stealthier setting.
</p><p>
As players jump into the fray on the Erangel, Livik, and Miramar maps, they will encounter two portals in the sky along the flight path, transporting them to the Nimbus Island of their choice. Upon reaching the Nimbus Islands, a countdown timer starts; if eliminated on the islands, players will parachute directly back to the main match. After the countdown, the islands disappear, becoming unavailable for the rest of the match. With ample supplies scattered across the islands, PUBG MOBILE players can gear up for intense battles on the Nimbus Islands or opt for a tactical retreat through the portal and back to the main match.
</p><p>
You can also summon a Genie on the Nimbus Islands. Alongside summoning a Genie to receive bountiful rewards and Respawn Card, players can also experience the whimsical Flying Carpet vehicle. With its groundbreaking Ground/Air Flight Switch feature, players can seamlessly transition between ground and air travel. While on the ground, the carpet glides smoothly, allowing the backseat passenger to participate in combat; however, once airborne, shooting is disabled, compelling players to hold on tightly as the carpet performs exhilarating aerial manoeuvres. Players can also recall the Flying Carpet once they reach a certain distance, or release it if desired, providing new tactical opportunities on the battleground. When a Flying Carpet is unoccupied, players can use emotes near the carpet, causing it to dance with them, with further Flying Carpet interactions for PUBG MOBILE players to explore and discover.
</p><p>
The Nimbus Islands also introduces the flying Sky Treasure Ship, capable of journeying on a set route to different locations. Operating on a predetermined path, the Sky Treasure Ship pauses at each boarding point along its route for players to hop aboard, and sporadically releases numerous rewards at these boarding points, enticing players with valuable loot.
</p><p>
The Version 3.1 Update also brings a variety of new weapons and tactical items in themed game mode, including the Grooving grenade, a new throwable that will summon a Genie and create a temporary dancing zone, and the Portal Staff, which can create two portals for quick mid-range transportation and teammate rescues. Each player is also equipped with a Treasure Map, enabling them to locate both common and rare crates containing various supplies during the match, with the added possibility of discovering the elusive Treasure Vault Key, which will grant access to rare supplies when used to unlock the Auspicious Treasure Vault.
</p><p>
Miramar also receives a significant update in Version 3.1, including new areas, gas station updates, and new ziplines, alongside the introduction of potential sandstorms. The Truck Stop and Partona areas are now integrated into Miramar, and gas stations across the map now offer vehicle refuelling services, allowing players to replenish fuel using tokens. A new Trade Shop has also emerged, and will purchase five specific types of items from players each match, with a small amount of items also available for players to purchase.
</p><p>
The P90 firearm also returns to being the first SMG available in air drop crates. This updated version of the P90 will exclusively spawn in air drop crates, and utilises a distinctive 5.7mm ammo, with a high rate of fire and minimal recoil offering exceptional performance. Cycle 6 Season 17 also arrives in the Version 3.1 Update, bringing forth an array of exciting updates and enhancements, including the introduction of new legendary items, promising players an elevated experience with exclusive rewards.
</p><p>
The Version 3.1 Update also sees new additions to the World of Wonder creative mode as it celebrates its one year anniversary, with new Fairy Tale elements including pirate ships, cannons, telescopes, and more, alongside new rainy and snowy weather, and an all-new Home system.
</p><p>
Unlike World of Wonder’s limited access, Home is open to all players, allowing them to construct their dream home, fostering creativity and community engagement on a grand scale. The Home tab, which can be found on the World of Wonders page, offers players the unique chance to design and build their own dream homes within PUBG MOBILE! Decorate your home with a variety of interactable items including chairs, sofas, beds, lamps, two-seater swings, speakers, guitars, pianos, violins, and more. Each home also features its own butler. Players are also able to browse and visit their friends’ homes, join forces to edit homes with up to four people online, explore featured homes, and check home rankings.
</p><p>
Furthermore, a Home Shop has been added to the Cheer Park, enabling players to purchase home items. Players can also use a special Home token to participate in Lucky Spins and win exclusive furniture and items for their homes. Complete home missions to win fabulous rewards, and utilise camera modes to save images of your home to your mobile phones and in-game home photo albums.
</p><p>
Additionally, the new Metro Royale Chapter will be available from March 14th to May 12th. Players can enjoy Treasure Ship areas and Balloon Crates added to Misty Port and Arctic Base maps, alongside new Chapter 19 collectibles.
</p><p>
Players can also look forward to an exciting upcoming collaboration with the highly acclaimed anime and manga series Spy x Family, as well as another partnership with a yet to be announced new luxury car manufacturer coming soon. Stay tuned for more details!

The weaknesses could enable hackers to take control of the toy’s system and misuse it to secretly communicate with kids through video chat without parental consent. The risks associated with the robot system’s application extend to dangers that sensitive details such as users’ names, genders, ages and even their locations may be compromised.</p>
<a name='more'></a>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Robot toy secueity" border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZaXZ3mi6PbC0IvFzc9KfF9BlegRepj7zkNH7eKmyndufnxyAAerPvP4wRjWTfV0qG_am25QBwS6vmB_WfuxxF5sKIbks-GeWvwfQ6y7Ox5qOk_aHtQbKDspVUqDnowygCtSicYPbbYnfM5_2UyNOIKmUdxy-UKVda0IaetV0vCWsinGWBECpHkPXoLtnz/s16000/Robot-toy-secueity.jpg" title="Robot toy secueity" /></div>
<p>An Android-based robot designed for kids is equipped with a built-in video camera and microphone. It harnesses artificial intelligence to recognize and interact with children by name and to adjust its responses based on the child’s mood, gradually getting acquainted with them over time. To unlock the full potential of the toy, parents are required to download the application to their mobile device. Through this app, parents can track the child's progress with their learning activities and even initiate a video call with the child via the robot.
</p><p>
During initial setup, parents are instructed to connect the toy to a Wi-Fi network, link it to their mobile device, then provide the child’s name and age. During this phase, Kaspersky experts have uncovered a concerning security issue: the responsible API (Application Programming Interface) for requesting this information lacks authentication enforcement, a step that confirms who can access your network resources. This potentially allows cybercriminals to intercept and access various types of data – including the child’s name, age, gender, country of residence, and even their IP address – by intercepting and analyzing the network traffic.
</p><p>
What’s more, this flaw enables cybercriminals to exploit the robot’s camera and microphone, initiating direct calls to e users, bypassing the required authorization from the guardians’ account. If a child accepts this call, an attacker can communicate covertly, without parents’ consent. In such cases, the attacker could manipulate the user, potentially luring them out of the safety of their home or influencing them into engaging in risky behaviors.
</p><p>
Furthermore, security issues of the parent’s mobile application may enable an attacker to remotely take control over the robot and gain unauthorized access to the network. Using brute-force methods to recover the six-digit one time-password (OTP), and with no enforced limit on failed attempts, an attacker could remotely link the robot to his own account, effectively taking the device out of its owner’s control.
</p><p>
<i>“When purchasing smart toys, it becomes imperative to prioritize not only their entertainment and educational value but also their safety and security features. Despite the common belief that a higher price tag implies enhanced security, it is essential to understand that even the most expensive smart toys may not be immune to vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. Hence, parents must carefully examine toy reviews, remain vigilant about updating smart device software, and closely supervise their child's activities during playtime,”</i> comments Nikolay Frolov, senior security researcher at Kaspersky’s ICS CERT.
</p><p>
The findings from the team's thorough research were presented during the panel <a href="https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/agenda/sessions/4310-how-can-we-empower-the-vulnerable-in-the-digital-environment" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">session</a> titled “Empowering the Vulnerable in the Digital Environment” at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024.

</p><p>
To keep all smart devices, secure and protected, Kaspersky experts compiled the following tips:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Keep your devices updated: Regularly update the firmware and software of all your connected devices, including smart toys. These updates often contain crucial security patches that address known vulnerabilities.</li><li>Research before purchase: Before buying a smart toy or any connected device, research the manufacturer's reputation for security and privacy. Choose devices from reputable brands that prioritize security and provide regular updates.</li><li>Be cautious with app permissions: Review and limit the permissions granted to mobile apps associated with your smart device. Only provide necessary access to features and data, and avoid granting excessive privileges.</li><li>Power it off when not used: Switch off the smart toy when not in use to prevent data collection. If the device has a microphone, store it in a hard-to-reach place when not active, and cover or redirect any cameras when not in use.</li><li>Use reliable security solutions: Employ a dependable <a href="https://www.kaspersky.com/premium" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">security solution</a> to help secure and protect your entire smart home ecosystem.</li></ul>Adrian Patrick Gemorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13543837305398095678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354789637022581656.post-544068228469953172024-03-18T08:36:00.002+08:002024-03-18T08:36:32.559+08:00GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE × Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Crossover Coming March 21!<p>Level Infinite, a gaming brand dedicated to delivering high-quality experiences to a global audience, recently announced that <b>GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE</b>, the mobile sci-fi RPG shooter with adorable android NIKKEs is set to launch a crossover with the anime television series, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- on March 21, 2024 (Thursday).

<p>De Ocampo began his career as a seafarer in 2009 and was trained as a Pastry Chef aboard cruise ships. This was followed by a chance to train under the esteemed Jean-Philippe Maury’s chocolate shop, honing Isagani’s skills under the guidance of masters.</p><p>But fate had different plans for the chocolatier. When the pandemic hit in 2020, Isagani belonged to the first batch of repatriated overseas Filipino workers. It was also this time when he started creating his own chocolate formula, dreaming of launching his own chocolate line in the Philippines.
</p><p>
<i>“It was hard at first because our taste for chocolate is quite different. Filipinos prefer the “stateside” chocolate. So, I thought of making a local version of chocolate that tastes like it’s imported,”</i> he shared. <i>“I wanted to bring the technology and the taste that I learned from abroad closer to chocolate lovers here,”</i> he added.
</p><p>
But starting the business in a pandemic was not easy. For one, he had to rent a separate place for his chocolate factory – which was not possible during the lockdown. De Ocampo had to put his business on hold for a year before he was able to launch his first product in November of 2021.
</p><p>
<i>“It became a hit, and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) heard about it. They approached me and offered me help. I held my first bazaar with them in January of the next year and I introduced my product as a local ‘imported’ chocolate. And the rest is history,”</i> he recalled.</p>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="685" data-original-width="886" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-BeMB7JBZvohmgVsl26ly64bu7-EfLb8A4jkYfZZJsHW-MVuujAAPd88IVf9Q-OI5ZbbC9bpblb3DDBdgFg5VwF9r9tnyyaq8tTmEbs9tAQg1shJd4vcvPEk9I2JncMzNgd5f_1yDg2hEYEw3oywq_dX391o5ShVtBJ0y_KdcFm51O-BXP9nFf-hdZOWi/s16000/Kakaw-Galleon.webp" title="Local chocolates on display from Kakaw Galleon at the bazaar in Smart HQ." alt="Local chocolates on display from Kakaw Galleon" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Local chocolates on display from Kakaw Galleon at the bazaar in Smart HQ.</td></tr></tbody></table>
<p>To scale his business even further, Isagani saw the value of upskilling and learning how to employ digital tools to boost micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) like Kakaw Galleon. When the invitation to attend the eBizNovation program under the livelihood advocacy of PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) came, he did not hesitate to join.
</p><p>
<i>“I’m a non-tech savvy person. Technology and I don’t get along. But I saw the invite to the eBizNovation workshop of DTI and PLDT and Smart, so I attended the event. Then, when I returned home, I told my wife about it, and she volunteered to implement it,”</i> de Ocampo said.
</p><p>
The eBizNovation program is a digital upskilling-to-ecommerce program that aims to provide local entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and MSMEs like Kakaw Galleon the right digital tools to help them grow their businesses online.
</p><p>
Together with government partners such as the DTI, LGUs, local chambers of commerce, and ecommerce platforms like TikTok Shop, eBizNovation trains local business owners like Isagani how to maximize digital commerce to boost their livelihood.
</p><p>
<i>“The skills and knowledge we gained from PLDT and Smart’s eBizNovation training have helped us build our digital platforms and online payment system, and ultimately helped boost our online presence and sales. We are thankful for this opportunity,”</i> the chocolatier shared.
</p><p>
PLDT and Smart are committed to uplifting the lives of Filipinos through livelihood and entrepreneurship opportunities made possible by technology. These initiatives also support the UN SDGs #1 No Poverty and #8 Decent Work and Economic Growth.</p>Adrian Patrick Gemorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13543837305398095678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354789637022581656.post-77368473331132053792024-03-14T12:50:00.003+08:002024-03-14T12:50:29.607+08:00PNP, GCash arrest online task scammer<p>The Philippine National Police arrests a suspect behind an online work scam following a successful collaboration with the country’s leading finance app GCash. The scam involves luring a victim to accept online tasks requiring investing money to earn a commission.</p>

<p>The suspect was identified as 21-year-old female Danica Dela Cruz Valdez, a resident of Balayong, Malolos City, Bulacan. Valdez had initially paid the victim for the first milestone to gain trust. With the succeeding tasks, Valdez then required the victim to complete the entire project first before the commission could be given, for which the suspect required more investment money. The victim agreed and sent payment to the suspect's bank accounts. Later, Valdez introduced additional problems involving a crypto account that coerced her victim to send an additional payment, banking on the victim's desire to get paid once and for all. In the end, the scammer collected P314,080 from the unsuspecting victim.
</p><p>
As part of its ongoing initiative to educate the public on how they protect themselves from scams and other financial cyber crimes, GCash continues to remind its users to practice extra vigilance and awareness of the various modes of scams.
</p><p>
<i>"Having millions of users and with the end goal of financial inclusion, online safety tops the priorities of GCash. We remain steadfast in our dedication to ensuring the security and protection of our users. We shall remain faithful to our collaborative efforts with the Philippine National Police in swiftly addressing any scams, fraud, and cybercrime,"</i> said GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc. head of legal Atty. Gilbert Escoto.
</p><p>
While intensifying its cooperation with law enforcement authorities, GCash also urges users to be extra vigilant of online scammers and fraudsters. When making transactions on the app, users are reminded never to disclose their MPIN or One-time PIN (OTP). With the rise in phishing incidents, users are strongly advised to never click links, especially from unknown senders.

</p><p>

Customers can also contact the official GCash hotline at 2882 for queries and other concerns.

<p><i>“Organizations across a variety of verticals increasingly require a fast, reliable, and secure networking architecture in remote locations and harsh environments. Unfortunately, it can often be complicated and costly to bring these types of networks online,”</i> said John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer and EVP, Product Strategy at Fortinet. <i>"With its 5G dual modem, AI-powered security, and zero-trust features, our newest FortiGate provides the latest secure networking innovations in a single, powerful appliance built to withstand the toughest environments. Customers can use the FortiGate Rugged 70G with 5G Dual Modem to realize secure and simplified infrastructure, enhanced business efficiencies and cost savings, and an excellent user experience even in the most remote, hard-to-reach locations.”</i>
</p><p>
<b>Connecting and protecting remote locations</b>
</p><p>
Networks are expanding to new, remote locations that must support and protect massive amounts of sensitive traffic and data while remaining highly available. In the past, companies would have deployed numerous point products to address individual networking, security, and connectivity needs at these locations. However, this creates a complex, poorly performing infrastructure that’s costly to manage and challenging to secure. The solution is a single appliance that meets all networking, security, and connectivity needs in remote OT environments.
</p><p>
<b>Cutting-edge networking, security, and 5G connectivity for OT</b>
</p><p>
The FortiGate Rugged 70G with 5G Dual Modem brings 5G connectivity to the Fortinet portfolio of rugged next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) for the first time. This means the appliance not only converges enterprise-grade threat protection with high-performing networking capabilities like SD-WAN and zero-trust network access but also delivers industry-leading wireless WAN functionality to ensure high availability.
</p><p>
Key features include:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>A 5G dual modem</b> that enables seamless, reliable, and lightning-fast communication to ensure high availability and enhanced connectivity for critical applications.</li><li><b>Unparalleled secure networking performance</b> powered by the latest, fifth-generation Fortinet Security Processing Unit (SP5), including 8 Gbps firewall throughput and 7 Gbps IPSec VPN throughput.</li><li><b>Compact form factor with a fan-less, ruggedized design</b> that can withstand harsh conditions like extreme temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration.</li><li><b>Industry-leading, AI-powered security</b> through FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services to protect critical data from sophisticated threats.</li></ul>
<p><b>Enabling the next evolution in banking</b>
</p><p>
A primary use case for the FortiGate Rugged 70G with 5G Dual Modem is deploying and managing remote ATMs, which are often installed in challenging environments like stadiums, malls, or outdoors. The appliance provides the networking functionality (SD-WAN for dynamic connectivity, network access control, and ZTNA application gateway), best-of-breed security (end-to-end encryption and embedded threat intelligence), and high availability (5G dual modem) needed to deploy, secure, and manage remote ATMs. And its ruggedized form factor meets the durability requirements of ATMs in extreme heat or cold.
</p><p>
Through this single, powerful appliance, the banking industry can elevate their remote ATM networks, seamlessly scale across thousands of locations, and easily spin up new services with minimal infrastructure investment.
</p><p>
<i>“Remote locations and harsh environments are becoming increasingly important to the enterprise but pose significant technical and budgetary challenges to connect and secure. Fortinet is well suited for these applications due to their expertise in converging networking and feature-rich security into a single appliance built to endure extreme conditions. The addition of a 5G dual modem is also a stand-out feature, which provides redundant connectivity for remote locations, ensuring availability and uninterrupted service.</i>” – Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security & Trust, IDC</p>Adrian Patrick Gemorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13543837305398095678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354789637022581656.post-57447379601235235422024-03-14T07:01:00.000+08:002024-03-14T07:01:06.368+08:00DTI PTTC-GMEA awards top graduates of the inaugural Obra Design Masterclass for Furniture Industry<p>The Department of Trade and Industry’s Philippine Trade Training Center – Global MSME Academy (PTTC-GMEA) has recognized the top designers among the 52 graduates of the very first Obra Design Masterclass, a design and product development mentorship initiative to uplift local talent within the furniture and creative industries.</p>

The most prevalent threat to mobile devices was adware, constituting 40.8% of all threats detected.</p>
<a name='more'></a>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtuXWFEglVm4tC-zS3IQ1CjdDD4_QC9qWETAecYZZIrNrVO7eJeLxUf6hw3P0xH0WC7FCdL1ribPLBjyznl_aNLIkvSevyP_QOaZgixeLyucKnAl673_ijGMU-nfBX0kVR4aa8zeBCGshij0CLfg8-Wigz7a1DTstvhC2mW5-jWGVWvyUqcpbG1P_9Rdo/s16000/Mobile-phone-malware.webp" title="Mobile Phone Malware" alt="Mobile Phone Malware" /></div>
<p>As the international mobile industry leaders gather in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress, Kaspersky's annual analysis of mobile threat landscape highlights the growing prevalence of mobile security risks alongside the advancement of malicious mobile tools and technologies. According to the company's experts, there is a noticeable upward trend in attacks targeting mobile devices. In 2023 alone, the number of such attacks surged to 33,790,599, representing a significant increase of almost 52%, compared to the 22,255,956 attacks recorded in 2022.
</p><p>
The most prevalent threat to mobile devices was adware, a type of software that displays unwanted (and sometimes irritating) pop-up adverts, comprising 40.8% of all threats detected. Regarding banking Trojans, the number of installation packages for such malware dropped to 153,682 after experiencing a sharp increase last year when the figure doubled. At the same time, the number of attacks using mobile bankers remained at the relatively same level.
</p><p>
Cybercriminals frequently distribute mobile threats through both official and unofficial app stores. In 2023, Kaspersky experts observed numerous malicious applications infiltrating Google Play. One of the most common disguises for 2023 were fake investment apps that relied on social engineering tactics to extract personal data from users, primarily phone numbers and full names, which were later added to databases used for phone fraud. Another prevalent vector of attacks observed was malicious WhatsApp and Telegram mods designed to steal user data.
</p><p>
<i>“The surge in Android malware and riskware activity throughout 2023 marks a concerning shift after a period of relative calm. Reaching levels reminiscent of early 2021 by year-end, this uptick underscores the significant threat users face. It's a stark reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and implementing robust security measures to protect against evolving cyber threats,"</i> comments Anton Kivva, mobile security expert at Kaspersky.

</p><p>
To protect yourself from mobile threats, Kaspersky shares the following recommendations:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It is safer to download your apps only from official stores like Apple App Store, Google Play or Amazon Appstore. Apps from these markets are not 100% failsafe, but at least they get checked by shop representatives and there is some filtration system — not every app can get onto these stores.</li><li>Check the permissions of apps that you use and think carefully before permitting an app, especially when it comes to high-risk permissions such as Accessibility Services. The only permission that a flashlight app needs is to the flashlight (which doesn’t even involve camera access).</li><li>A reliable security solution helps you detect malicious apps and adware before they start behaving badly on your devices. Conveniently, you can get protection, like <a href="https://www.kaspersky.com/premium?reseller=gl_mobile-threat-reports_pr_b2c_pr___b2c_press-release_lnk__kas__kprem___" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kaspersky Premium</a>, directly from mobile operators.</li><li>A good piece of advice is to update your operating system and important apps as updates become available. Many safety issues can be solved by installing updated versions of software.</li></ul>Adrian Patrick Gemorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13543837305398095678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354789637022581656.post-28833870465245860492024-03-13T07:09:00.001+08:002024-03-13T07:09:22.979+08:00The TechLife Notebook Series are designed to boost your productivity in school and at work <p>Nowadays, laptops have become a necessity for everyday individuals wanting to be productive at home, work, and school.

<p>The Pro X 2 Lightspeed Gaming Headset comes with 50mm graphene drivers, a rare and lightweight material that ensures sound clarity and enhanced audio response. Graphene also reduces the risk of sound distortions, allowing you to listen to your favorite game’s OSTs and sound designs in greater detail, making you feel like you’re inside the game itself.
</p><p>
Spatial awareness and accuracy are crucial for most FPS games and with the DTS Headphone:X 3D audio support feature, you can pinpoint anyone's location with ease. This cutting-edge technology creates an audio environment that emulates where and how far sound cues are in-game, allowing you to make quick decisions and react to environmental threats in a snap.
</p><p>
Elevate your shot calling skills and deliver studio-quality voice communication to your teammates with Blue VO!CE technology. The detachable 6mm cardioid microphone removes any pops and hisses during active comms. With its robust design, coupled with an effective noise-canceling feature, you can ensure that your instructions are communicated clearly and crisply to your comrades on the battlefield.
</p><p>
Another core feature is the LIGHTSPEED wireless technology that takes the audio experience to new heights with its lag-free connection, making sure in-game sounds are delivered to you in real-time.
</p><p>
Additionally, the wireless setup is a huge plus for gamers that enjoy the freedom of moving around, eliminating the hassle of tangled wires and maintaining uncompromised audio quality within a 30-meter connection radius. This is also complemented by a 50-hour battery lifespan to maximize long gaming sessions.
</p><p>
If you do enjoy the traditional feel wired headsets offers, then you’re in luck. You can seamlessly switch between using Bluetooth and a reliable 3.5mm wired connection depending on which setup or preference you’re most comfortable with. Effortlessly transitioning between hardcore gaming sessions and casual sound trips with friends proves the PRO X 2’s versatility whether you’re online or offline.

<p>The Pro X 2 Lightspeed Gaming Headset goes beyond exceptional audio specifications.

It’s sleek, ergonomic and sustainably-made design takes into account extended gaming sessions, ensuring a comfortable fit as you play. The adjustable metal headband is wrapped in thick cushions with a rotating durable hinge, allowing you to play securely from multiple angles.
</p><p>

This snugly conforms around the user's ears to block out external noise and distractions. The lightweight construction also adds to the overall comfort, preventing additional strain on the head and neck.
</p><p>
An immersive sound design can make all the difference in any great game. Whether it’s a highly-competitive FPS game that requires your undivided attention to every minute sound cue or a laid-back, open-world adventure filled with breathtaking scenes, captivating storylines and riveting symphonies, a good and quality headset can definitely elevate the experience.
