Published

on

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Kanpai Pandas will officially be sponsoring Hamdy (“The Hammer”) Abdelwahab, the FIRST Egyptian UFC fighter (6–0 record)! Hamdy is an Olympian wrestler who fights in UFC’s heavyweight division and who recently defeated Don’tale Mayes on July 30th at UFC 277. Hamdy is the Kanpai Pandas’ first sponsored athlete who will be representing us in upcoming fights and other related events. One Hamdy, 10,000 Pandas, and 100 million Egyptians.

 

Statement from Hamdy Abdelwahab regarding the Kanpai Panda partnership:

“I always knew I wanted to be a fighter with the ufc. Everything I did in my childhood to compete at an Olympic level has gotten me to where I am today. Managing to work a full-time job and making sure I’m at the gym at least two to three times a day has been a struggle. My last fight was on 12 days’ notice, 7 of the 12 days of preparing for my ufc debut involved getting all my medicals and working my shifts at work because I couldn’t call out on my co-workers who were relying on me. I knew I had to show up for UFC 277 as this was my chance and opportunity to showcase some of my skills to the world, nothing was going to stop me. I knew with a full camp I could of put on an even better performance, my team knows that and they knew I need to spend more time in the gym to achieve that so the goal was to find a sponsor that can support me with that. After my manager, Malki, met and connected with Josh at my fight, he told him my story, Josh saw what my true potential could be. He believed in me that I will become the UFC heavyweight champion of the world one day. So he decided to support my career at my earliest stage by sponsoring me through a new and fun NFT project called Kanpai Panda, not only is this project the next big thing, the team has been supportive and fully collaborative with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better sponsor at such an early stage of my career and I’m forever thankful for Kanpai and Josh for allowing me to just focus on training and getting better to achieve my goal as a world champion. Thank you Kanpai and looking forward for this journey!”

Statement from Ice Bagz, CEO of Kanpai Pandas

“We’re extremely excited about our partnership with Hamdy Abdelwahab. After talking with Malki Kawa at UFC 277, he convinced me that Hamdy was the Kanpai Pandas’ guy. Hamdy’s first UFC fight was taken with 12 days’ notice. 7 of those days he was working a job to provide for his family. Imagine how scary Hamdy can be with proper time to prepare and without having to focus on anything other than fighting.

“This partnership allows him to do that. Hamdy is an Olympian medalist and the first Egyptian to fight in the UFC EVER. That’s a story we can get behind. Hamdy is a class act and has the potential to be the biggest sports star in a country with 100 million people. We’re excited to have him on board.”

At UFC 280 on Oct. 22, Abdelwahab (6–0 MMA, 1–0 UFC) will take on Parker Porter (13–7 MMA, 3–2 UFC) in a heavyweight bout at Etihad Arena (Abu Dhabi). The Kanpai Pandas will be side by side with Hamdy for this bout and future bouts!

Hamdy is among the first steps we are taking with individual sponsorships to ensure our brand grows far and wide within and to multiple sectors. The Kanpai Pandas plan to further integrate blockchain technology with real-life utility to provide holders the benefits of blockchain’s efficiency and transparency with the fun of exclusive real-world partnerships and events. The aim is to grow within and beyond crypto. We believe our project has the ability to successfully reach audiences outside of crypto, supported by our past, current, and future IRL events.

We are super excited to be sponsoring Hamdy and look forward to what our relationship will bring. Kanpai!

New feature automates the creation of secret-based and federated NHIs, ensuring every NHI is fully secured from day one

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the RSA Conference today, Oasis Security, the leader in Non-Human Identity Management (NHIM), announced the launch of Oasis NHI Provisioning, a groundbreaking capability that automates the creation, governance, and security of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) from their inception. Built into the Oasis NHI Security Cloud, this solution addresses the critical challenges of fragmented processes, ungoverned sprawl, and manual workflows that plague NHI provisioning today.

According to ESG research, NHIs, such as service accounts, service principals, managed accounts, secrets, keys, and access tokens, are growing 20% year-over-year, powering automation across legacy, cloud, and agentic AI architectures. Built into the Oasis NHI Security Cloud, Oasis NHI Provisioning ensures every NHI is secure by design, embedding policy-driven governance, ownership, and least-privilege access from day one. Designed to be infrastructure- and vault-agnostic, Oasis NHI Provisioning seamlessly integrates with enterprise environments ensuring that every NHI is fully secured from the moment it’s created, eliminating critical security risks without impacting developer experience and freedom of choice.

“Oasis NHI Provisioning redefines identity security by automating provisioning with built-in governance, enabling security teams to reduce risk, remove error-prone manual tasks and enhance developers’ productivity,” said Danny Brickman, CEO and Co-Founder of Oasis Security. “With Oasis NHI Provisioning, NHIs are secured by default the moment they are created and throughout their lifecycle. Automated provisioning helps organizations stay ahead of identity-based attacks, and eliminate the overhead of manual processes. With Oasis NHI Provisioning, we are empowering customers to move from reactive controls to proactive, continuous governance.”

Core capabilities of Oasis NHI Provisioning include:

Request and approval workflows via the Oasis UI, ServiceNow, or TerraformSupport for credential-based and federated identitiesSupport for multi-cloud (e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP), PaaS and SaaS (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks and others)Automated creation and vaulting of credentials with support for cloud native key vaults and secret managers, HashiCorp Vault, or CyberArkIndividual or group-based ownership assignmentOasis Outpost that ensures that sensitive operations like secret generation and storage happen entirely within customers’ infrastructureAutomatic onboarding into Oasis Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) engine for seamless enforcement of governance policies, including credential rotation and automated decommissioning

BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BAE Systems (LON: BA) has been selected by U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to provide a new satellite command and control (C2) system for its Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) program. FORGE C2 will provide the Space Force with a command-and-control system for several of its Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next-Gen OPIR) missile warning satellites. In addition, the on-orbit Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) constellation will be transitioned onto the FORGE C2 system.

Under FORGE C2, the Space Force will utilize BAE Systems’ software solution to consolidate telemetry, tracking and command, flight dynamics, mission management, and ground resource management applications onto a single framework. This will allow satellite operators to command and control the Space Force’s missile warning satellites with the same core applications, which will simplify operations, reduce operations and maintenance costs, minimize training, and provide extensibility to future missile warning systems.

“FORGE C2 represents an innovative new approach to advancing command and control capabilities for the Space Force,” said Don Speranzini, vice president and general manager of Ground Systems & Services for BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems. “Our team has worked as a mission partner with the Space Force to develop a system that effectively monitors threats and helps strengthen the defense of the U.S. and our allied nations. We’re proud to contribute to this critical mission.”

The FORGE C2 program builds on BAE Systems’ history of developing industry-leading ground systems for the defense and intelligence communities.

BAE Systems also helped develop infrared sensor payloads for the Next-Gen OPIR constellation and leveraged the company’s deep knowledge of the mission to assist in advancing FORGE C2.

Award spotlights Britive’s leadership in identity security for the cloud era, Zero Trust, and AI-ready access management.

GLENDALE, Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Britive, the leader in cloud-native Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), announced today that it has been named a winner in the Market Innovator for PAM category of the prestigious Global InfoSec Awards presented by Cyber Defense Magazine during the RSA Conference 2025.

Britive was recognized for its innovative approach to securing cloud access in dynamic, multi-cloud environments, especially for organizations facing identity sprawl across humans, non-human identities (NHIs) such as AI agents, AI workflows, API Keys, and cloud workloads.

“We’re honored to be recognized with this award at RSA,” said Art Poghosyan, CEO and Co-founder of Britive. “It’s a strong validation of the market shift we’re seeing organizations are realizing that traditional PAM wasn’t built for the cloud, and certainly not for AI and the speed of today’s innovations. We’re proud to lead the industry toward a model where dynamic Zero Trust access powered by Zero Standing Privileges at scale isn’t just a policy, it’s the default best practice.”

The Global InfoSec Awards honor companies and solutions with a proven track record of cybersecurity innovation, leadership, and effectiveness. Winners are selected by a panel of certified security professionals who vote based on independent review, without any sponsor influence.

“Britive embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Britive’s platform stands apart with its agent-less, proxy-less cloud-native architecture. It enables true just-in-time (JIT) access and enforces true Zero Standing Privileges across all identities in the cloud. The result: faster access, reduced risk, and better alignment with Zero Trust security models.

Why Britive Won:

Unified access control across public cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environmentsReal-time, ephemeral access provisioning — no standing privilegesScalable security for both human users and non-human identities such as AI Agents, Machines, and AutomationsSeamless integration with identity platforms like Okta, Azure AD, and cloud providers including AWS, GCP, and Azure.
