Appdome Unveils GenAI-Powered Mobile Threat Resolution

Published

on

New Threat Resolution Center revolutionizes cyber support, dramatically lowering resolution time and getting users back to using the mobile apps they love.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Appdome, the experience leader in mobile defense, today announced its new Threat Resolution Center, powered by GenAI. The new service enables mobile support teams to instantly identify mobile threats, generate context-specific resolution steps, and improve threat response for all stakeholders. Appdome will be demonstrating the new GenAI powered Threat Resolution Center live at the upcoming Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas Aug. 7 and 8.

The scope, diversity, and sophistication of mobile threats are exploding. This, combined with the proliferation of malware, spyware and AI-based threats, means that the risk to mobile identity, data and transactions is higher than ever. Legacy mobile app security, anti-fraud and other products don’t consider the user experience. When mobile attacks happen, mobile end users are typically locked out of their accounts and left confused, frustrated, and flying blind. Likewise, understanding, and troubleshooting mobile cyber-attacks and threats is complex, time consuming and costly – for the mobile brand, enterprise and user.

The new Appdome Threat Resolution Center leverages the power of GenAI to provide real-time, context-specific, step-by-step guidance for end users to resolve threats and attacks on mobile devices quickly. This gives mobile support teams and end users the information they need to get past any attack fast. It also shrinks the mobile attack surface by speeding removal of mobile threats on end user devices. Mobile support teams also realize a boost in productivity by delivering faster mean time to resolution (MTTR) and reducing overall cost of threat response for all end users.

“We’ve been evaluating LLMs and GenAI as part of the threat response lifecycle since GenAI came on the scene,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO at Appdome. “Threat Resolution Center leverages two new innovations at Appdome – our new ThreatCode™ and Threat Resolution Agent™ – with GenAI to quickly synthetize massive amounts of unstructured data into step-by-step instructions that stop cyberattacks, malware and other threats on mobile end user devices fast.”

Fraud, malware and other attacks, combined with limited attack data and poor resolutions destroy the mobile experience. When cyberattacks happen, fire-drills arise between cyber and support teams. Triage, diagnosis and removing threats from mobile devices is extremely complex, time-consuming and challenging due to the immense diversity and dynamic nature of (a) mobile exploits, tools and malware, (b) mobile devices, (c) mobile operating systems (OS), (d) mobile networks and (e) other factors. To make matters worse, many forms of malware can hide inside other mobile apps, and access mobile apps via accessibility, custom keyboards and other settings. What works to remove a threat on one mobile device, mobile OS and network will not work for a different threat on a different mobile device, mobile OS and network.

“The mobile ecosystem is diverse, with seemingly endless permutations of apps, exploits, operating systems, and device types. Detecting and removing threats and attacks can feel impossibly difficult, let alone doing so with the user experience in mind,” said Katie Norton, Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC. “Appdome’s ThreatCode and Threat Resolution Agent aim to address this challenge by leveraging RAG-optimized GenAI, automatically creating and chaining GenAI prompts to bring threat-specific, context-aware instructions that seek to balance quick threat resolution with a high-quality user experience.”

How Appdome Threat Resolution Center Works

When an attack or threat is detected by an Appdome-protected mobile app, the Appdome Defense Framework in a mobile app dynamically generates a context-specific ThreatCode™. The ThreatCode is encoded with detailed and specific data about the threat, attack method, device, OS and other information, providing the DNA of each attack on the mobile end user’s device. Support, engineering or cyber personnel at mobile brands and enterprises enter the ThreatCode into Appdome’s Threat Resolution Center where Appdome’s Threat Resolution Agent™ generates the GenAI-prompts using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to query and optimize responses from GenAI for the attack. The resolution response includes how to identify and understand the attack, how to find the attack, and the step-by-step instructions to remediate or remove the mobile threat on the end user’s device, creating – for the first time – true self-service threat response and real-time threat resolution for mobile end users.

“Better threat resolution is critical to better brand loyalty and the best end user experience,” said Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer at Appdome. “Legacy products get in the way of app experience, doing little more than crashing the app with no data about the attack and no way to help the user. Appdome, by comparison, puts the user first – first by removing the engineering burden and now, by removing the support burden from the cyber defense lifecycle.”

Appdome will be demonstrating its new Threat Resolution Center at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas Aug. 7-8, 2024 at booth #1350.

By

SINGAPORE, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Homegrown artisanal brownie brand Crunchie Meltz is stepping up to support women in leadership as an official partner of the Her Courage Leaders Summit 2025 by Class Living, happening on April 5, 2025. The summit, which celebrates resilience, leadership, and empowerment among women, aligns with Crunchie Meltz’s vision of creating a positive community impact beyond just sweet treats.

The event will bring together inspiring women leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers to share their stories, and Crunchie Meltz will be contributing in a special way—crafting exclusive brownies for the summit’s participants as a symbol of encouragement and perseverance. This partnership marks a significant moment for the artisanal brand, highlighting its commitment to not only baking but also creating meaningful connections within the community.

Beyond Brownies: Crunchie Meltz Expands Community Initiatives

This latest collaboration underscores Crunchie Meltz’s growing commitment to using baking as a force for good. Co-founders Simon Yio and Chef Evon Chan are not only passionate about their artisanal brownies but also about fostering meaningful experiences through baking. Their vision is to create more than just a business; they aim to craft memories, inspire change, and build connections through the simple joy of delicious, thoughtfully made treats.

Building on this momentum, Crunchie Meltz is also partnering with a local training company, ThinkBox Solutions and Class Living to develop an innovative Parent-Child Bakery Program. The initiative, set to launch later this year, will give families the opportunity to bond over shared experiences in the kitchen, learning the secrets behind the brand’s signature brownies. “We believe baking is more than just a craft — it’s a way to bring people together,” says Simon Yio, Co-Founder of Crunchie Meltz. “Whether it’s supporting women leaders at Her Courage Leaders Summit or creating meaningful parent-child experiences, we want to make an impact beyond our brownies.”

Customer Review: A Sweet Success

Crunchie Meltz’s focus on quality and flavour continues to win the hearts of dessert lovers. Here’s what one of our loyal customers, Amar Kumar, had to say about our signature brownie:

“This brownie with a cookie top is amazing! The brownie is rich, fudgy, and perfectly sweet, while the cookie on top is warm, chewy, and golden on the edges. The combination of the soft brownie and the slightly crisp cookie is just perfect. Each bite is a delicious mix of flavors and textures, with the chocolatey brownie and buttery cookie blending so well. It’s a sweet, satisfying treat that’s hard to resist—one of the best desserts you’ll ever try!”

Such enthusiastic responses from customers have fuelled Crunchie Meltz’s success and reinforced its mission to spread joy through every bite.

A Growing Brand with a Heart

The brand’s signature treats, including CookieCrunch, ChocoCrunch, CrunchieDark brownies and FlorenCrunch, a healthy snack baked with nuts and seeds, continue to delight customers, offering a delightful balance of textures and flavours.

Looking ahead, Crunchie Meltz has exciting plans for further expansion, including the launch of its “Bake for Hope” CSR program in early 2026. This initiative aims to use baking as a platform to support social causes and give back to the community. As the company grows, Crunchie Meltz remains committed to making a lasting, positive impact — one brownie at a time.

Wat Arun Beyond Reality Step into a Virtual Journey Like Never Before

Published

on

By

BANGKOK, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a bid to promote cultural tourism, a team led by researchers from Chulalongkorn University has incorporated cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) technology to bring Wat Arun to life. Through the “Temple of Dawn VR Game” project, visitors can explore exclusive, restricted areas of the temple and appreciate the historical, cultural, and architectural beauty of one of Thailand’s most prominent landmarks.

Wat Arun VR Game: Revealing Unseen Experiences 

Among Thailand’s iconic landmarks, Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, holds immense cultural and historical significance. The temple’s mesmerizing corn-shaped stupa rises dramatically from the bank of Chao Phraya River, captivating all who visit.   

Wat Arun is one of the major landmarks I usually bring foreign friends and international guests to visit. Many were impressed when I shared the temple’s historical and cultural details. This made me realize that without a guide, many tourists would miss enticing information about the temple’s history and architecture,” shared Dr. Ratchaneekorn Ratchatakorntrakoon, researcher at the Institute of Thai Studies, Chulalongkorn University

As the mastermind behind the project, Dr. Ratchaneekorn hopes the VR game will enrich visitors’ experiences while promoting learning and cultural tourism. 

A New Perspective Through Virtual Reality 

Building on her previous experience in creating VR applications at Chulalongkorn University’s Memorial Hall, Dr. Ratchaneekorn recognized VR technology’s potential to revolutionize storytelling.  

“This project aims to provide an immersive storytelling experience, bringing the temple’s stories and heritage to life,” she explained. 

According to the project’s tagline, “Reveal Unseen Experiences”, the Temple of Dawn VR Game allows tourists exclusive access to areas typically off-limits. These include: 

The top of the central corn-shaped stupa  The interiors of the directional pavilions housing Buddha images A bird’s-eye view of Wat Arun, offering new perspectives on its intricate architecture 

The project employs cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to recreate a virtual space of Wat Arun, enabling users to:  

Explore restricted areas Learn about the stupa’s architecture Discover stories of Buddha’s life depicted within the temple 

Overcoming Challenges: Technology Meets Tradition 

Dr. Ratchaneekorn identified two key challenges in developing the Temple of Dawn VR Game:     

Technical Limitations: Large 3D files slowed development process. The engineering team had to compress files and adjust textures for compatibility. Cultural Understanding: Tourists unfamiliar with Thai cultural norms sometimes behaved inappropriately at the temple.  

Despite these challenges, the project was successfully completed and had been introduced to tourists for trial. “Tourists gave positive feedback during the testing phase, appreciating the opportunity to engage with Wat Arun in previously unavailable ways,” Dr. Ratchaneekorn noted.  

How to Play: The Temple of Dawn VR Game  

Designed as a multi-player game, The Temple of Dawn VR experience mirrors real-life tourist dynamics, as visitors often come in pairs or groups.  Solo visitors can team up with on-site project coordinators.

The Temple of Dawn VR game includes four sub-games: 

The Old Sermon Hall (Vihan-Noi)  The Old Ordination Hall (Ubosot-Noi) The Directional Pavilions The Central Prang 

Each sub-game includes an introduction, game rules, missions to accomplish, knowledge gained, and knowledge summaries.   

Each game session lasts approximately 5-7 minutes. Players can choose one or multiple sub-games. After completing the VR experience, visitors return the document.

Educational Opportunities and Cultural Impact 

Dr. Ratchaneekorn concluded that the Temple of Dawn VR Game provides significant educational and cultural benefits:   

For Tourists: Enhances their understanding of Thai culture and encourages respectful behavior in temples. For Tour Guides: Equips guides with deeper insights to enrich visitor experiences. For Students: Supports academic research and offers practical experience in VR development. For Society: Serves as an educational tool to explore the biography of the Lord Buddha. 

Looking Ahead: A Sustainable Cultural Asset

The final version of the VR application will be soon handed over to Wat Arun. Plans are underway to train temple staff on system operation. Although set to be available for visitors this November, access to the VR game may initially be limited due to the high cost of VR headsets and specialized equipment.  

“Our long-term goal is to make this innovative tool a sustainable asset that preserves cultural heritage while engaging a global audience,” said Dr. Rachaneekorn.
