State-of-the-Art Building Emphasizes Employee Experience and Sustainability

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced the opening of its new North America headquarters in Downtown San Diego. Representing a significant milestone in the company’s growth, the state-of-the-art facility will support over 200 North American local and remote employees. The opening was celebrated at the new headquarters – bringing together ESET’s community partners, building and construction partners, ESET’s global leadership and local employees.

“Our new San Diego office is not just a place to work, it’s a space where our employees can thrive,” said Ryan Grant, SVP of Sales and Marketing at ESET North America. “Our goal was to create a distinctly different environment from working at home, which meant that every decision – from the floorplan to the furniture – was guided by our desire to create a dynamic and sustainable workplace for our teams. At the same time, we have built a collaborative environment for our channel partners, business customers and local community partners to convene and tackle tomorrow’s greatest cybersecurity threats and solutions. In fact, we recently held our first event in the new space with #LatinaGeeks – offering a Cybersecurity Certification Workshop that trained 37 San Diegans.”

Located down the street from ESET’s former location in Little Italy, ESET’s new 655 W Broadway location was selected to allow employees to maintain their connections to the vibrant waterfront area and Little Italy, which offer healthy eating and easily accessible public transportation options, including the COASTER Commuter Rail, Coronado Ferry, the San Diego Trolley, and the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. With a commitment to minimizing environmental impact, the modern 24,000-square-foot office boasts a Platinum LEED and Energy Star Gold certification as well as a 2-star Fitwel rating, which incorporates more than 55 evidence-based design and operational strategies that enhance buildings by addressing a broad range of health behaviors and risks.

From site selection to décor, ESET prioritized a landfill-neutral strategy and ethically sourced materials, aligning with the company’s net zero 2050 sustainability goals. ESET partnered with local vendors like bkm OfficeWorks to design modular office systems, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional stick-built offices, which give employees the flexibility to quickly change the office configuration if desired. The office comes with an outdoor patio with an amphitheater, a full gym with an active class schedule, spaces for entertaining, stunning views and complimentary services that appeal to the modern worker. Additional partners who helped bring ESET’s vision to life for the new headquarters included Hughes Marino, WareMalcomb and Back’s Construction.

“At ESET we are committed to making a difference, not only in the cyber world, but in the everyday lives of the communities where we operate,” added Grant. “We have an established history of local engagement and cybersecurity awareness in San Diego, and this was a key factor in our decision to double down on our San Diego presence. ESET is a proud partner of a number of local foundations – from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego and Promises2Kids to San Diego Police Foundation’s SafetyNet program – where we have supported programs to close cybersecurity education gaps and ensure San Diegans are able to defend against bad actors. We are also active members of San Diego’s Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) where we work to educate local SMBs and are involved in programs to grow the regional cyber economy.”

As the cybersecurity industry struggles with an ongoing talent shortage and slow progress toward diversity, ESET’s efforts are making a difference in San Diego and across its offices. While recent (ISC)2 industry research puts the percentage of women in the cybersecurity workforce at 24%, ESET North America has made impressive strides to hire and foster diversity at all levels with a workforce that is 37% women and a leadership team that is 39% women. To support this, the company has developed mentorship programs and expanded Women of the Workforce groups aimed at supporting women in their careers, encouraging advancement and promoting work-life balance. ESET also launched the Women in Cybersecurity Scholarship in 2016 to help close the gap in STEM – awarding multiple scholarships each year to women in the U.S. and Canada. To date, 26 recipients have been awarded and the program has continued to expand to other ESET global offices, including Australia, United Kingdom and Singapore.

AIS Advances Core Network Resilience and Efficiency to Achieve Zero Service Outage

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 11, 2024, the 9th 5G Core Network Summit, hosted by Informa Tech in Dubai, brought together global industry leaders and technical experts to discuss cutting-edge topics such as 5G SA, voice, telco cloud, autonomous networks, and 5.5G core networks. Noppadon Poungsri, Head of Core Network Planning and Operation at AIS Thailand, delivered a keynote speech titled “Building a High-Resilience, High-Efficiency Core Network” and shared AIS’s strategies for improving core network reliability and efficiency in a media interview with Informa.

As the largest mobile communications operator in Thailand, AIS builds the best 5G network and provides a wide range of services, including mobile, fixed network home broadband, enterprise network, and digital services. With superior 5G network covering over 95% of the population, 5G subscribers increased to 10.6 million.

Noppadon emphasized that the evolution of cloud-native technologies has increased the complexity of core networks, making them more prone to reliability and efficiency issues. To address these challenges, AIS continues to invest in network resilience and proposes a Network Resilience strategy to achieve the strategic goal of Zero Service Outage in three years. Currently, AIS’s network resilience strategy is centered around three key areas: risk prevention, network visualization, and service recovery.

In terms of risk prevention, AIS has introduced the MDAF signaling storm prevention and control solution. This solution enables routine, automated simulations of network status to identify potential risks in advance. By transitioning from a passive O&M approach to a proactive prevention strategy, AIS can stay ahead of potential issues and ensure business continuity.To enhance network visibility, AIS introduces the MDAF-based cloud-network visualization solution. This innovative solution enables five-layer topology visualization and analysis of complex cloud core networks, allowing AIS to quickly detect network faults.Regarding the target of service recovery within 30 minutes, AIS implements solutions such as bypass and localization to guarantee that 70% of users remain connected during transport network disruptions. This approach allows users to continue using essential data services and VoLTE voice services.

Additionally, Noppadon emphasized the importance of network efficiency. AIS has developed an autonomous network strategy to enhance the intelligence and automation of its networks. This initiative aims to facilitate AIS’s transformation from a traditional communications service provider into a cognitive technology company.

In the future, AIS will maintain its focus on enhancing the reliability and efficiency of its core network, while actively integrating industry-leading technologies such as AI. For instance, AIS plans to develop a cross-domain digital twin network and implement the Telecom Foundation Model to transform its O&M processes. The goal is to gradually achieve zero service outage and advance towards Level-4 autonomous networks.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On its final day, Global Health Exhibition turned its focus to a new generation of health technology innovators with the winner of the event’s Vision NextGen competition announced as local biotech business X-Genome. A series of Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) signings and the future of women’s health, brought the Exhibition to a successful conclusion.  

X-Genome is the first genomics training facility for health and scientific professionals in Saudi Arabia, delivering world class educational programs in molecular genetics and cancer cell diseases with the goal of equipping a new generation of professionals to support patients with future technology. 

The third day marked the establishment of fresh MoUs, partnerships and deals totalling USD 13.3bn. These included a cooperation agreement between the Saudi State-owned Health Holding Company and Huawei, as well as a partnership agreement between the Council of Health Insurance and the Johns Hopkins Center.

MoUs were signed between the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health and Ascend Solutions, AlRamz Medical Company and GSK.

In addition, an attendance of more than 105,000 was confirmed over the three days of Global Health Exhibition, representing 35,000 people per day. The Exhibition also saw a 72 percent increase in international attendance from over 138 countries. It featured 1,240 exhibiting brands, four times more than last year, with more than fifty percent of those brands being international.

The future of women’s healthcare was also a highlight on day three, under the heading ‘Wellness and Beyond’. Sessions highlighted the under representation of women in clinical studies and research as well as significant gaps in access to screening for certain cancers. Also noted was the growing global challenge to redesign health systems to meet the mental health needs of women and the role of emerging technologies to achieve this.

“In disease prevention for women, there is not enough being done to provide cancer screening,” said Dr Ritu Garg, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer, Fortis Healthcare

“We are seeing an explosion in cancer cases worldwide. Beyond this, mental health issues are likely to reach epidemic proportions in the coming years. We require scaleable, technology-driven solutions to meet this challenge.”

Looking further ahead, the Leaders’ Summit considered the state of healthcare services in 2040 and how recognized health challenges today are projected to grow exponentially.

“We are looking at a world with five billion chronic disease patients in 2040, from a global population of eight billion,” said Reenita Das, Partner, Senior Vice President, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Frost & Sullivan.

“In the connected age, what’s needed are personalized digital tools, which support what I term the ‘IKEA-ization of healthcare’. This means, a world where every individual becomes the CEO of his or her health to manage their own wellbeing, utilizing apps and wearables – turning patients into consumers.

“We are on the road to curing cancer, in the same way that we have collectively all but eradicated HIV, but other threats remain on the horizon, including new infectious diseases and ‘super bugs’, which will continue to proliferate around the world. Advanced technology has a role to play here too, with AI becoming ubiquitous.”

The Digital Health Forum included a panel on harnessing the power of digitized data for enhanced patient care.

“In 2024, a live-stream connected King Faisal Hospital with 600 cardiac surgeons at 300 hospitals virtually, as I performed complex robotic procedures,” said Prof Feras Khaliel, Consultant, Cardiac Surgery, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center.

“It was an educational tool. Surgeons were not only observing but in constant communication to ask questions. We have made advances, not only in diagnosis and treatments, but in 3D monitoring for the patient during surgery.”

Global Health Exhibition Foundation Partner Lean also commented on the event:

“Lean is thrilled to be part of Saudi Arabia’s groundbreaking journey in innovation towards a healthier nation,” said Hisham Al-Falih, Co-founder and CEO, Lean. “We’re excited to share how our cutting-edge solutions are reshaping healthcare, easing access to and powering a healthier, tech-driven future for the Kingdom.”

“Cultivating the next generation of healthcare talent is a defining goal of Global Health Exhibition, and the exceptional skill and ability shown across the high number of entries to the Vision NextGen competition gives us confidence we are in safe hands,” said Rachel Sturgess, Group Director, Tahaluf.

“Global Health Exhibition 2024 featured 1,240 exhibiting brands, four times more than last year, with more than fifty percent of those brands being international. The show has doubled in size, to 80,000 square meters, the size of 11 football fields.”
