THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
Traditionally known for its reliance on heavy machinery and manual labor, the mining industry is undergoing a digital transformation propelled by advancements in AI, data analysis and data modeling. These technologies have become pivotal in driving innovation, enhancing operational efficiency and mitigating risks effectively in today's digital landscape. AI, data analysis and data modeling have become integral tools for businesses worldwide. While some companies are still in the research and development (R&D) phase, the rapid advancements in big data technology, particularly distributed or parallel processing, have simplified the process of building complex models. Cloud technology has further accelerated this progress by eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure investments. Cloud services offered by providers like Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) allow businesses to manage everything seamlessly, with options for pay-as-you-go or long-term reservation plans for cost-effectiveness. The evolution of AI technology into generative AI signifies a significant milestone in the industry's digital journey. Tools like ChatGPT, released by OpenAI in 2022, have transformed text generation by responding to prompts with coherent and contextually relevant content. Similarly, advancements in image generation AI models like DALL-E and Imagen have expanded the scope of AI applications, enabling image generation from textual prompts and even modification of image components, which can be particularly useful in visualizing mining processes and equipment configurations. In the mining industry, specifically in my current firm as a leading mining company, AI, data analysis and data modeling have played a pivotal role in driving digital transformation since 2018. The development of applications in 2018 marked our entry into the realm of digital innovation.

A defensive-only approach is no longer sufficient in the cybersecurity landscape. Today’s more complex and multi-dimensional cyberattacks call for employing various offensive security measures to detect and address vulnerabilities beforehand. Next Security, a cybersecurity consulting company stands at the forefront of this paradigm shift by championing offensive tactics such as in-depth vulnerability assessments, thorough penetration testing and comprehensive red team assessments. This suite of services systematically addresses and neutralizes potential breaches proactively, minimizing the window of potential cyberattacks. Kelvin Siu, founder and CEO of Next Security, succinctly expresses the company’s core advantage, “Our promise to deliver top-tier offensive cybersecurity assessments more cost-effectively gives clients the flexibility to redirect their investments into other essential business domains without compromising on the integrity of their cybersecurity posture.” What sets Next Security apart from other cybersecurity consulting firms is its integration of industry-recognized methodologies with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. This synergy results in advanced, customized tools and applications to provide organizations with a detailed, evidence-based overview of vulnerabilities and associated risks. By automating the offensive cybersecurity assessment process, Next Security streamlines workflow, boosts accuracy and ensures results are delivered with exceptional speed and efficiency. The objective is simple—to empower organizations to improve their security posture significantly, protecting them against the burgeoning wave of cyber threats more efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively than other market options.
Top Network Security Technology Solutions In Apac 2025
In the overly digitized world, the need to safeguard the integrity and security of the involved systems is paramount. However, the traditional models of internet communication, primarily based on IP, are no longer immune in the face of modern-day vulnerabilities like network stealing and wiretapping. That’s where the Zero Trust model has emerged as a counter strategy to these fundamental problems in networking and communication. One of the proponents of this push is PRIBIT Technology, changing the game with its PacketGo solution. Complying with Zero Trust principles, it eliminates the possibility of unauthorized access for identified users, authorized applications, data, devices, infrastructure and networks. This forward-thinking approach discards outdated network communication practices and embraces a proactive security stance. PacketGo ensures that all access requests are premised on strict and persistent verification and identification. This means that no one, regardless of location or role, is trusted by default. Every access request is scrutinized to ensure it meets the stringent criteria set forth by the system, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. This method has proven to be a more effective means of securing data and systems, especially in environments with limited protection. “Zero Trust represents a paradigm shift in security architecture, moving away from the traditional model that relied heavily on one-time authentication. Through PacketGo, we employ many advanced technologies to solidify the Zero Trust architecture,” says Young-Rang Kim, CEO and founder of PRIBIT Technology. At its core, PacketGo has three key components. First is the software-defined perimeter (SDP), which dynamically creates secure perimeters around user groups, applications and data.
