Conversant Group Named Gold Winner in Company of the Year, Security Services Category, and Grypho5 Identified as Gold Winner in Security Services Category

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Conversant Group™, an innovative provider of “Secure First” infrastructure and cybersecurity services, announced today that it and its battalion Grypho5™ have both secured gold winner designations in the 16th Annual 2024 Golden Bridge Awards. Conversant Group was recognized in the Company of the Year–Security Services category, while Grypho5 was honored in the Security Services category.

Last year, Conversant Group and its battalions rose as the go-to force for organizations looking to understand their vulnerabilities, manage those gaps and recover from devastating breaches (restoring seven of the top 10 breaches in North America), proving that their relentless pursuit of security can be the difference between falling victim and remaining secure.

The Grypho5 team understands the hard reality that defenses need to be right 24/7; threat actors aren’t taking a day off and they only need to be right once to penetrate. By leveraging insights from the Fenix24™ battalion, which is on the front lines of breach restoration, Grypho5 experts regularly adjust the client’s tools, processes and policies against changing threat actor tactics to build a defensive shield against the most frequently targeted areas: endpoints, firewalls and backups.

“Securing these prestigious security awards is a tremendous honor,” said Mark Grazman, CEO of Conversant Group. “Leveraging the insights of our ransomware restoration/incident response battalion, Fenix24, we have reverse engineered defensive security to thwart todays’ threat actor playbooks. The growing demand for our services speaks volumes. In 2024, expect even more groundbreaking advancements from Conversant Group and Grypho5 as we explore what’s possible in the cybersecurity landscape.”

The 16th Annual 2024 Golden Bridge Awards celebrate the spirit of innovation and achievement across the entire spectrum of global business. From leading-edge tech startups to established industry giants, the awards recognize organizations that are pushing boundaries and making a real difference. Whether it’s groundbreaking research in healthcare, visionary marketing campaigns or sustainable practices that benefit the environment, the Golden Bridge Awards shine a spotlight on those who are shaping a brighter future.

By

TAIPEI, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cathay United Bank (CUB), a subsidiary of Cathay Financial Holdings—the largest financial group in Taiwan—has firmly established its presence in Cambodia for over a decade, actively supporting local government’s initiatives. Recently, Cathay United Bank Cambodia (CUBC) received approval from Cambodia’s Trust Regulator to offer escrow services. This milestone underscores CUBC’s commitment to fostering economic growth across diverse sectors and boosting investor confidence in Cambodia.

Since the enactment of Cambodia’s Law on Trust in 2019 and the establishment of the Trust Regulator in 2021, the trust business in Cambodia has witnessed remarkable growth. According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Cambodia, the country’s GDP is projected to grow 6% in 2024 and accelerate to 6.3% in 2025, with an average growth rate projected to be above 6.6% from 2026 to 2027.

Kevin Yeh, President of CUBC, emphasized the significance of the new escrow service: “Cambodia’s economy continues to grow steadily, with real estate transactions being a key focus of the local market. Given the large transaction amounts involved, ensuring secure payments between buyers and sellers is crucial. This escrow service provides a secure platform for holding and disbursing funds. CUBC will safeguard the transaction funds and release them to the seller only after all contractual conditions are met, ensuring the smooth completion of transactions. We have high expectations for the future growth of escrow services.”

CUBC is dedicated to enhancing customer experience through its customer-centric approach and comprehensive financial services. In 2023, CUBC became the first Taiwanese bank in Cambodia to offer KHQR payments by integrating with the National Bank of Cambodia’s Bakong system. Additionally, for eligible corporate customers, CUBC provides a dedicated support team and video customer service to streamline processes and save time.

CUBC also offers its Global MyB2B service, which is secure, simple, and convenient. This platform enables easy access to global account consolidation, trade finance, cash management, and other financial services, helping clients optimize operational efficiency and create seamless financial experience across online and offline channels. CUBC will continue to prioritize the needs of its customers by offering bespoke solutions, and plans to further strengthen its digital development and enhance the customer experience.
