TAIPEI, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As cybersecurity threats grow worldwide, HyperG Smart Security, a leader in Security-as-a-Service solutions, is highlighting the major vulnerabilities and threat vectors of mobile apps while offering solutions for developers across both Android and iOS. For DevOps pros in search of the most up-to-date security solutions, please visit: appGuard: https://www.hypergsecurity.com/appguard Recent insights from the 2023 Global Mobile Threat Report by mobile security vendor Zimperium highlight an alarming surge in detected vulnerabilities. The report found "a 138% increase in critical Android vulnerabilities discovered in 2022, while Apple iOS accounted for 80% of the zero-day vulnerabilities actively being exploited in the wild." On top of growing threat levels, a survey from the organization OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project) identified that a frequent oversight in mobile app development is the absence of memory protection against debugging capabilities. "Mobile apps are flourishing, particularly gaming apps," noted Allen Lin General Manager at HyperG Smart Security. "In this dynamic world, staying ahead of threats is not an option, but a necessity. Hacks of mobile apps share several factors in common, and we're addressing these with solutions for developers to stay multiple steps ahead." With app source code as the main aspect to keep protected, HyperG Smart Security has identified the major vulnerabilities in the mobile app threat landscape: Reverse engineering: Apps are susceptible to hackers reverse engineering an app by decompilation, which enables them to directly view an app's source code and expose weaknesses. In turn, hackers can then recreate and repackage it into a counterfeit app. Anti-debugging: Due to inadequate memory, debugging can enable unauthorized control of the app, leading to extraction of both app and user data. Lack of encryption: Without effective encryption, a staggering 80% of app data is readily accessible to hackers. User data is also exposed, and lack of encryption further enables man-in-the-middle attacks that intercept processes between the app and the server. Integrity protection: Through reverse engineering, genuine apps can be repackaged into deceptive versions, misleading users and jeopardizing data. Security solutions for mobile app developers When selecting security tools for mobile app development, support for both iOS and Android and compliance with MAS or OWASP criteria are key factors to consider. Checking all these boxes, HyperG's appGuard Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a powerful solution crafted to address the current threat landscape. Based on the robust AES-256 encryption standard as its foundation and with EAL2 Common Criteria certification, appGuard's method of encrypting and decrypting source code protects from the bottom layer, preventing any other app from spying on the source code or the phone's data via memory error detection. Ideal for apps that are frequently revised, it does not modify app source code and offers efficient ease-of-use. After a mobile app's source code is evaluated, black-box testing is performed, and then the app is protected with a solution like appGuard, the final step for devs is to use a security detection and evaluation tool. Several solutions such as AppTotalGo and AppSweep offer rigorous security evaluations, covering source code protection level, anti-memory detection, and integrity verification. Beyond mobile app security-as-a-service solutions, HyperG Smart Security also offers security testing services powered by a robust array of physical mobile phones, ensuring that an app's source code undergoes rigorous testing during the development cycle. About HyperG Smart Security HyperG Smart Security is a Singapore-based joint venture by Taiwan's Digicentre, a subsidiary of Gamania Group, and Malaysia's Simsense. With well-established global sales channels, HyperG Smart Security is devoted to developing security products for smart technologies as it becomes a world-class smart security company and sales platform. Philosophy: Focusing on "Developing Cyber Security Technologies", HyperG Smart Security aims to be a world's leading provider of cyber security services and devotes itself to application innovation and R&D revolving around the five fields of "Cloud", "Security", "Action", "Big data" and "Internet of Things". Safety: We commit to improving technology quality and accept no compromises on defects. Integrity: The first two requirements for our employees are integrity and competence. We stick to beating the competition through the sheer quality of our products and aiming high. In selecting suppliers, we embrace objectivity and fairness. Employees: We provide a challenging and favorable work environment and competitive compensation for employees who are encouraged to pursue continuous learning. We continually strive to create and maintain such an environment, so as to attract and retain like-minded and talented employees. Partners: We are seeking qualified partners to build a global sales network and create an industry value chain. Customers: We don't promise easily, because when we do, we will go all out at all costs. Quality: We adhere to the attitude that "customer satisfaction" is the best touchstone for product quality and make every effort to ensure the overall satisfaction of customers.

It guides private equity investors on how to align their strategy, management, transparency and governance practices, to achieve their decarbonisation goals. SINGAPORE, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fullerton Fund Management (Fullerton) has partnered with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to develop a Sustainability Management Framework to guide private equity climate investing in Asia, using UNDP's SDG Impact Standards as a foundation. The framework offers private equity companies a roadmap to adopting practices that can help to accelerate their net zero goals. In Asia, the environmental and commercial case for climate investments is compelling, with the addressable market size for green businesses in Asia targeted to reach over US$4 trillion by 2030[1]. Governments have made strong commitments to decarbonise their economies, and around $53.5 trillion of investments between 2020-2060 is required to meet the net-zero targets already announced[2]. There are significant investment opportunities ahead and private equity can play a pivotal role alongside public spending in bridging the funding gap. Private equity investors are well-positioned to exert greater influence on portfolio companies over climate and sustainability issues. However, disclosure standards in the region are uneven and corporate disclosures remain lacking, particularly in emerging Asia. This poses challenges for climate investors who are looking to assess the material environmental issues, and their implications, for their investments. The Sustainability Management Framework guides private equity investors on how to integrate sustainability considerations and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) into their strategy, management, transparency and governance practices, to achieve their decarbonisation goals. Through the framework, climate investors can conduct a critical evaluation of the various possible investment practices and decide on the unique set of practices which aligns best to their investment mandates and stakeholders' requirements. "As an investor of private capital in Asia, we recognise that sustainability issues have considerable implications for a company's investment value, particularly for private equity, which has a long investment horizon. With the launch of this Sustainability Management Framework with support from the UNDP, we are committed to integrating sustainability considerations in our private equity climate investments. More importantly, we hope to share this framework and insights from real-world case studies with our peers, to enable them to evaluate the relevant sustainability aspects required to optimise decarbonisation in the region," said Huck Khim Tan, Deputy Chief Investment Officer and Head of Alternatives at Fullerton Fund Management. "The private sector has a significant role to play in accelerating Asia's decarbonisation, including in collaboration with and alongside efforts from actors in the public and multilateral domains. Recognising this, we are delighted to collaborate with Fullerton Fund Management to develop this Sustainability Management Framework, leveraging the UNDP's SDG Impact Standards for private equity funds. This framework is useful for climate investors who are looking to align their internal practices and decision-making to achieve their decarbonisation goals," said Haoliang Xu, UN Under Secretary General and Associate Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme. #### About Fullerton Fund Management Fullerton Fund Management Company Ltd ("Fullerton") is an active investment specialist, focused on optimising investment outcomes and enhancing investor experience.

Singapore-based programme to support Southeast Asia innovators and drive the commercialisation of deep-tech climate technologies    SINGAPORE, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Breakthrough Energy (BE), the climate organisation founded by Bill Gates; Temasek, a global investment company headquartered in Singapore; and Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), the government agency championing enterprise growth, have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish Breakthrough Energy Fellows – Southeast Asia ("BE Fellows – SEA") with a joint funding commitment over the next three years. The programme will be helmed out of Singapore and marks the first BE Fellows hub outside of the United States.  Announced at Ecosperity Week 2024[1], BE Fellows – SEA will be the first regional hub in BE's existing signature global Fellows programme. It aims to tackle early-stage barriers to climate technology innovation in Southeast Asia and accelerate the development of climate technologies that have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gases at scale and contribute towards global net-zero targets. The partnership will leverage the pioneering climate technology platform established by Breakthrough Energy, Temasek's thought leadership, expertise and networks as a global investor anchored in Asia, and Enterprise Singapore's commitment to drive startup development and nurture deep tech startups in Singapore and the region. The complementary combination of the strengths and capabilities of the partners will enable the creation of a strategic and novel programme that can help address the critical innovation gap in the development of deep-tech climate technologies here in Southeast Asia. BE Fellows – SEA will provide researchers, scientists, engineers and technology innovators in the region with funding and support to help take their promising climate solutions to the next stage of development and commercialisation. Through the programme, each participating Fellow's research will receive an initial USD$500,000 grant for further development and technology de-risking. They will also gain access to a global network of industry partners, mentors, investors and experts, as they develop, demonstrate and commercialise their solutions for a clean energy future, with potential to receive follow-on funding from the same programme. These collective efforts aim to help the Fellows with technology advancement, commercialisation fundamentals, and go-to-market strategies as they work to scale their solutions for wide-spread adoption. Across the first three cohorts of Breakthrough Energy Fellows, teams have raised over US$150 million in follow-on funding and created more than 200 full-time jobs. Learn more about the technologies and solutions existing Fellows have developed here.  Addressing the climate gap, especially in Southeast Asia, requires concerted efforts by public and private stakeholders to identify actionable and investible business opportunities and accelerators to unlock decarbonisation outcomes. In Southeast Asia alone, a significant investment gap of US$1.5 trillion[2] needs to be bridged from now till 2030, and substantially more until 2050 to meet its net zero target. New technologies are needed to reduce the costs, and more needs to be done to cultivate talent and develop capabilities in climate science and innovation. Collective efforts to fund and invest in research and capacity building can support the development of expertise; accelerate discovery and increase the number of projects and companies working on climate technologies; and advance commercialisation of sustainable solutions required to tackle the climate crisis more effectively. The BE Fellows SEA aims to spark and accelerate the development of such technologies. Ms. Ashley Grosh, Vice President, Breakthrough Energy Fellows, said, "To address the world's most pressing climate challenges, innovators require tailored resources and support. That's why we established the Breakthrough Energy Fellows programme. We are excited to deepen our commitment to early-stage innovation through the launch of a regional hub in Singapore. With its strategic location, thriving ecosystem, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Singapore is an ideal epicenter for nurturing climate innovation in Southeast Asia and beyond. Temasek and Enterprise Singapore's existing deep understanding of the regional landscape make them ideal partners for this expansion. Together, we're ready to develop and scale tailored solutions to address the urgent clean energy needs we need to reach net-zero." Mr. Russell Tham, Head, Emerging Technologies, Temasek, said, "There is an urgent imperative to bridge the capabilities gap in climate-tech innovation in Southeast Asia. We're excited to convene this partnership with our trusted partner, Breakthrough Energy, to pioneer what is the first regional hub of their well-established global Fellows programme here, alongside Enterprise Singapore. Breakthrough Energy's extensive global science, investment, and innovation ecosystem, coupled with Temasek's global sustainability focus, has been and will continue to be a powerful and complementary combination. We are confident that this tripartite Fellows programme will catalyse a new wave of tech innovations in Singapore and Southeast Asia that can contribute towards solving our global climate challenge." Ms. Cindy Khoo, Managing Director, Enterprise Singapore, said, "Deep tech innovations possess the transformative power to solve climate change challenges, but startup founders often face early-stage roadblocks as they take their technologies from lab to market. We need to be deliberate in providing climate-tech innovators with the right support needed to develop and commercialise new, game-changing solutions more quickly. We are excited to partner with Breakthrough Energy and Temasek to anchor Breakthrough Energy Fellows - SEA in Singapore, and build upon our strong fundamentals and infrastructure in both research and venture building to catalyse climate tech breakthroughs in the region."  More information and application details for BE Fellows - SEA will be announced in the later half of the year.  [1] Ecosperity Week 2024 is a three-day conference organised by Temasek, which catalyses discussions on innovative solutions across technology, nature and finance to accelerate a green and just transition.  [2] Southeast Asia Green Economy 2024 – Moving the needle, a report by Bain & Company, GenZero, Standard Chartered and Temasek About Breakthrough Energy Breakthrough Energy is committed to accelerating the world's journey to a clean energy future.
