SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Health Catalyst publicly announced the seven winners of the Catalyst Awards, an annual awards program recognizing hospitals and health systems that have led the way in digitizing and transforming healthcare.

The Catalyst Awards

High-Value Data and Analytics Winner: Baylor Scott & White Health

Baylor Scott & White Health achieved a six-fold increase in sepsis bundle compliance, $8.3M cost savings during the 15-month study period, the result of a statistically significant difference in total direct costs, 17 percent lower ICU admission, and 17 percent lower mortality rate.

Patient Engagement Winner: Providence

Providence achieved a 25.2 percent increase in average patient engagement, increased engagement across 13 separate deployments, including different hospitals, clinics, and service lines. The organization also achieved a 44 percent relative decrease in readmissions for patients undergoing total joint replacement and a 15 percent relative decrease in LOS.

Collaboration to leverage Akamai’s proven Tactical ICAM capabilities and P3M Works’ UK government expertise to secure third-party access and supply chain operations

LONDON, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online, and P3M Works, a UK-based cyber resilience and transformation consultancy trusted across government and critical national infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver zero trust identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) solutions for UK government and defense supply chains. The partnership will combine Akamai’s proven zero trust security capabilities, currently deployed across U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) networks, with P3M’s deep understanding of UK government requirements to deliver robust supply chain security frameworks. Together they will address the growing need to secure third-party access to sensitive systems and data.

“P3M Works’s established relationships with the UK government and National Security, combined with Akamai’s proven ICAM technologies creates a powerful offering that addresses a critical security gap in the defense supply chain,” said Jack Marley, Founder of P3M Works. “This partnership allows us to implement policy-based controls that enforce least-privilege access while providing the flexibility needed to maintain operational effectiveness across complex multi-party collaborations. We’re bringing next-generation technology solutions to organizations that need assurance, speed, and trust in every access decision.”

The partnership will combine Akamai’s proven zero trust security capabilities, currently deployed across multiple U.S. DoD networks, with P3M’s deep understanding of UK government requirements to deliver robust supply chain security frameworks. Specifically, the focus will be on Akamai’s Zero Trust Federated ICAM solutions, which have been successfully implemented by the U.S. Army. These solutions enable secure collaboration with vendors, contractors, and allies without exposing underlying networks or expanding the attack surface.

“Building on our two decades of success securing mission-critical systems for the U.S. DoD and Federal Civilian government, we’re excited to partner with P3M Works to bring these solutions to UK government agencies and their supply chain partners,” said Martin Hellmer, Vice President of Strategic Alliances, Akamai. “The increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the expansion of supply chain attack vectors demand a zero trust approach that continuously validates every access request, regardless of source or destination.”

Akamai’s solutions enable a policy engine that enforces dynamic, context-aware access decisions based on identity, device health, and behavioral analytics. This approach minimizes the risk of supply chain vulnerabilities and insider threats through continuous verification of all access requests, even in disconnected, denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited bandwidth (DDIL) environments.

Key features of the joint proposition include:

Federated identity management for secure third-party collaborationZero Trust policy enforcement with dynamic, attribute-based access controlContinuous authentication and authorization throughout user sessionsSupport for various authenticators, including hardware tokens and mobile authenticationComprehensive auditing and monitoring of third-party activities

Together, Akamai and P3M Works will address the urgent need for resilient, context-aware access management across complex and distributed UK defense environments. The collaborative offering will be available to UK government agencies and their supply chain partners beginning in Q3 2025.

Akamai is a Lead Sponsor of CYBERUK, the UK government’s flagship cybersecurity event, hosted by the National Cyber Security Centre. The event takes place in Manchester at Manchester Central, May 6-8. Akamai will exhibit on stand C10.

CGTN: How does head-of-state diplomacy inject new vitality into China-Russia relations?

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid growing global uncertainties, including rising trade protectionism and unilateralism, ChinaRussia relations continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and momentum. In 2024, bilateral trade between the two countries reached a record high of $244.8 billion, marking a 1.9 percent year-on-year increase – a testament to the enduring strength of their strategic partnership.

Andrey Denisov, first deputy chair of Russia’s Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs and the former ambassador to China, highlighted that the strategic guidance of the two heads of state has been a critical factor in maintaining the steady and sustained growth of ChinaRussia ties.

China on Sunday announced that at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation, President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to Russia from May 7 to 10 and attend the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow. The upcoming visit is widely expected to underscore the vital role of head-of-state diplomacy in advancing the ChinaRussia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era.

Fundamental guarantee

Over the last decade or so, Xi and Putin have met over 40 times on various bilateral and multilateral occasions. Their frequent, candid, and strategic exchanges have become the cornerstone of the stable and evolving ChinaRussia relationship.

Back in 2013, Xi chose Russia as the first destination of his state visit as China’s head of state, ushering a new phase of bilateral relations based on equality, mutual trust and support, common prosperity and lasting friendship.

During Xi’s visit to Moscow in June 2019, the two leaders agreed to elevate bilateral ties to the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, opening up a new chapter in ChinaRussia relations.

After being re-elected as Chinese president in March 2023, Xi’s first state visit was once again to Russia. Upon Putin’s re-election as President of the Russian Federation in May 2024, similarly, Putin chose China for his first foreign visit, underscoring the deep personal rapport and strategic trust between the two leaders.

“President Xi maintains a respectful, friendly, open, and at the same time business-like style of communication,” President Putin has remarked, describing their meetings as “not only dialogues between old friends, but also productive discussions on bilateral and global issues.”

In a recent article published in Russian media, Zhang Hanhui, the Chinese ambassador to Russia, said the two heads of state’s guiding role represents a fundamental guarantee for ChinaRussia relations maintaining a high level of operation.

Navigating global uncertainty with bilateral stability

At the beginning of 2025, Xi and Putin held a virtual meeting to set the tone for the year ahead. They pledged to deepen strategic cooperation, promote national development and revitalization, and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice.

President Xi stressed his readiness to work with President Putin to guide the bilateral relationship towards a new height, and called on the two sides to cope with uncertainties of the external environment with the stability and resilience of ChinaRussia relations.

Commenting on the virtual meeting, Ma Youjun, an expert with the Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the head-of-state diplomacy has ensured ChinaRussia relations becoming increasingly mature, dynamic, and resilient – injecting not only vitality into their partnership but also stability into the broader international landscape.

This view aligns with the latest statement from Chinese Foreign Ministry, which expressed confidence that President Xi’s upcoming visit will lead to deeper political mutual trust, enhanced strategic coordination, and expanded practical cooperation between the two sides.

“The important common understandings between the two presidents,” the ministry stated, “will bring more tangible benefits to the two peoples and contribute greater stability and positive energy to the international community.
