Battle against cyber threats to be addressed by cyber security visionaries at #WCSSJordan

August 11, 2022
The 17th global edition of World Cyber Security Summit is gearing up with the goal of constructing a security framework for organisations in Jordan. The summit is taking place on 15 – 16 August 2022 in Jordan, and features notable speakers including Mohammad Alkhudari, Ira Winkler, Abdulrahman Al-nimari, Prof. Mohand Tahar Kechadi, George Eapen and many more.Amman, Jordan, Aug 11, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The 17th global edition of World Cyber Security Summit will be held under the auspices of H.E. Dr Bisher Al-Khasawneh, Prime Minister of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and supported by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Jordan. The summit is taking place on 15 – 16 August 2022 at The Ritz-Carlton in Amman, Jordan. World Cyber Security Summit is part of a global series and is brought to Jordan by Trescon, a global business events and consulting firm that specialises in hosting future-tech events across the world.As the country braces for a protracted cyber insecurity, government and organisations are looking for an action plan to mitigate the risks and become resilient to cyber threats. Thus resulting in the announcements of a raft of policies to manage digital vulnerabilities in the recent years. In order for effective implementation of these policies, World Cyber Security Summit will play its part by providing a platform to conduct thorough debates, and deliberations on the proposed cyber security strategies.The summit will host more than 300+ C level attendees, including government officials, Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Information Officers, CEOs and technology leaders from enterprises and government agencies in Jordan to meet, network, and engage with global cyber security experts and technology innovators over the course of two days."The importance of cyber security is being increased and it is not an option for companies and organizations, and having the advanced defence in place is required for critical infrastructure and data. Sensitive data and information protection is the source of trust in organizations," said H.E. Belal Hafnawi, Commissioner - Board Member at Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC-Jordan).Abdulrahman Al-Nimari, VP - Cybersecurity from Saudi Arabia stated, "Remember: compliance to regulations does not mean you are secure, you must have your own risk driven cyber security program and strategy that mitigate your own unique risks."Haidar Fraihat, Cluster Leader - Statistics, Information Society, and Technology at United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) says, "Corporations can easily fall into the false sense of security syndrome. Illusioned that their precious data is safe, they may tend to drop guard and invest less in enhancing their data security. Realizing that data and information is the strategic asset to organizations, perhaps more than financial resources, is of paramount importance to keep your competitive edge, security and even survivability.

MAS, the Metaverse Planet that links virtual and reality, Avatar and content social interaction, is coming to BNB Chain SeaPRwire

MAS, the Metaverse Planet that links virtual and reality, Avatar and content social interaction, is coming to BNB Chain

August 8, 2022
MAS (Metaverse Avatar Show) Universe is a Web3.0 project based on BNB chain and will deploy multiple chains in the future. New York, NY, August 08, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – MAS universe creates a personalized anonymous Avatar Show for each user, with user interaction, space exploration behavior and content sharing/creation as the core, building a Metaverse Space/Planet that can be interactive, entertaining, build, content create, participate, watch, generate value and return, and build social order. It will bring a more immersive metaverse social life experience to users and the blockchain industry. MAS combines the characteristics of SocialFi, DeFi and DAO, creating a metaverse world that is open to exploration, inclusive and harmonious through its own content production and the aggregation of content produced by third parties and users. MAS aims to promote the flourishing of the metaverse industry through platform content creation and user social interaction participation, linking reality and building an orderly new world. MAS Team, working around the Metaverse dream The core project members of MAS manage the development and operation process in the form of a DAO. The development team has 10 years of experience in motion and facial capture technology, AR/VR/XR and AI. Among them, there are many core members with more than 15 years of experience from Sandbox’s application scenario building.Meanwhile, the marketing and operation team also comes from well-known game companies, with more than 10 years of experience in marketing and operation of games and entertainment products. All core members of the team have served as core members in web3.0 or metaverse projects.It is worth mentioning that the 3D virtual scene building and avatar production, IP virtual image restoration introduced by the team have been widely used in the Asian region and have many cooperation cases. At the end of 2021, the team had an exciting idea: they wanted to create a metaverse world that would give users an immersive experience. Each user would have an exclusive metaverse avatar and form a social network by exploring different themed planets, and this planet continent would bring everyone various mysterious interactive experiences. This is the prototype of MAS dream, and we will continue to work hard around this design concept. How the world of the MAS works Users can join MAS easily and freely, and we will provide each Metaverse citizen with an exclusive Avatar, which means your Metaverse life has begun. Users can socialize and interact in the Metaverse, publish the created content to become influential people. Of course, you can also participate in various entertainment events: music festivals, painting exhibitions, launch parties, bars, cafes, etc., to experience the fun brought by various scenes. Not only that, we have a personal space for each user, so you can create your own favorite space, invite your friends to parties and keep meeting strangers with common interests. There will also be constant third-party partners joining and participating in the building of the public space, interpreting their brand image in the metaverse and bringing users a refreshing product experience. As a Web3.0 & blockchain project, the economic system of MAS is also worthy of attention. Putting aside the complex financial system and numerical design, users only need to remember one thing: all actions and owned spaces and NFTs in MAS have value, and interactions can generate actual token benefits, easily realizing ‘X to earn’. MAS Token, as the main token of ecological governance, will be heavily invested in the reward system. In addition, the combination of defi features in MAS also provides liquidity to protect the value of MAS Token. MAS Token will also be available on CEX/DEX in near future. The value and use of MAS NFTs MAS provides users with five major types of NFTs that will be launched one after another. in addition to the value of collection, NFTs can also be used within MAS, and depending on the function, the scenarios and conditions of use will vary, but all NFTs have a certain degree of profitability. After the official trading market is officially launched, users can buy NFT and trade freely. – Space/Land : contains personal space, public space, commercial space – Avatar : including clothing, accessories, special effects, skin, etc. – MAS props: including space decoration, space furniture, props and tools, etc. – Tickets and rights: including passes, activation codes, tickets, etc. – Limited category: including limited-time props, limited NFT, etc. MAS will bring three core values to all users: 1. Create an exclusive identity and exclusive space for each person, and the interactive behavior of users will be effectively combined with the value system of MAS (virtual economy, NFT, virtual currency system). Realize social2earn, interaction to earn. 2.High freedom, easy to explore and release creativity. a large part of the unlimited imagination of MAS world (the look you see, the wealth you want to get, the order you want to establish, the activities you want to carry out, the information/interest/knowledge you want to share ……) will be created by users, without the limitation of time and space. 3. No threshold and difficulty to enter the metaverse world, we welcome Web2.0 & Web3.0 users. Flexible interaction mode with low threshold for participation, in the first moment when users enter MAS, they will be attracted by the magic of exclusive doppelganger and personal space building system and have 100% sense of belonging in the virtual world.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Ready to Defend Unbeaten Home Record JCN Newswire

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Ready to Defend Unbeaten Home Record

July 29, 2022
TOKYO, Jul 29, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team will compete on home soil at Rally Finland on August 4-7 and target another victory on the fastest round of the season with its driver line-up of championship leader and hometown hero Kalle Rovanpera, his fellow Flying Finn Esapekka Lappi and defending event king Elfyn Evans.The GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID takes to its home roads around Jyvaskyla having performed strongly so far in its debut season with victories in five of the last six events. It has a tough act to follow though at Rally Finland, where its predecessor the Yaris WRC won all four editions held between 2017 and 2021. A dominant display on the most recent round in Estonia on similarly fast roads provides the team with confidence, but a single pre-event test over the coming days will be crucial for tailoring the car setup to the specific characteristics of Finnish gravel stages.The rally-mad Finnish public is expected to turn out in their numbers to cheer for Jyvaskyla-born Rovanpera in particular following his outstanding form in 2022. He increased his championship lead to 83 points with his fifth win in Estonia, but is taking nothing for granted as he looks to improve upon a challenging top-level debut on Rally Finland in 2021.Lappi is also a local favourite, hailing from around an hour from the service park, and claimed his maiden FIA World Rally Championship victory on the event with TGR in 2017. Evans meanwhile achieved an epic win at last year's Rally Finland and finished a strong second last time out in Estonia, rising to third in the championship. Takamoto Katsuta should also feel at home in his TGR WRT Next Generation entry, having learned his trade on Finnish roads as part of the TGR WRC Challenge Program.Renowned for its smooth and fast forest roads featuring numerous crests and jumps, Rally Finland is returning to its traditional summer date for the first time since 2019. The rally begins with an extended version of the mixed-surface Harju stage in the centre of Jyvaskyla, which is revisited in shorter form after Friday morning's loop of two repeated stages to the north. Another two stages to the west are run twice in the afternoon. Saturday as usual takes the crews south for four stages around Jamsa, each to be repeated after midday service. Sunday's double loop pairs the Oittila stage with Ruuhimaki which once more hosts the rally-ending Power Stage.For more information visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/release/2022/rd08-preview/.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing reaches for top gear at the halfway stage

July 8, 2022
TOKYO, Jul 8, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team arrives at the midway point of the 2022 FIA World Rally Championship season at Rally Estonia (July 14-17): the first of two back-to-back events on fast gravel roads in the north of Europe.2022 GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRIDEstonia was the scene of Kalle Rovanper's maiden WRC victory one year ago. Since then, the young Finn has taken five further victories, including four in the last five events to build a lead of 65 points in the drivers' championship.TOYOTA GAZOO Racing heads the manufacturers' standings by 62 points after a historic 1-2-3-4 finish on last month's Safari Rally Kenya led by Rovanpera, Elfyn Evans and TGR WRT Next Generation driver Takamoto Katsuta. Esapekka Lappi will return to the TGR WRT line-up in Estonia alongside Rovanpera and Evans for his fourth start of the season.Rally Estonia offers a very different challenge to the three previous rounds on gravel, with smooth and fast roads featuring many jumps and crests, although the soft and sandy surface can become rutted for the second pass of each stage.The rally is based in Tartu, Estonia's second largest city, and begins on Thursday evening with a short super special next to the service park. Both Friday and Saturday feature a loop of four stages to be run twice either side of mid-day service. Another pass of the super special to round out Saturday's action and an extended version around the Raadi airfield, run in the opposite direction to last year's Power Stage, opens two loops of three stages on Sunday. The rally-ending Power Stage once more takes place over the Kambja test, as it did in 2020.For more information, visit https://toyotagazooracing.com/wrc/release/2022/rd07-preview/.

The world is waiting for us," Mulyani remarked.Furthermore, she also asserted the importance of inclusivity in the work of FIF, led together by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, which required the involvement of both developed and developing countries."Only then, we can be effective in preparing to tackle the next global pandemic together," Mulyani stated."I would like to acknowledge the central role of the WHO in fighting pandemic and the importance of including the voice of developing countries in our institutional arrangement to create the most effective system for pandemic preparedness and response," she added.The WHO and the World Bank estimated that US$31 billion is required annually for strengthening global health security, according to WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.About two-third of that fund could come from existing resources but that leaves a gap of US$10 billion per year. Hence, he expects that the FIF would help close that gap.WHO and the World Bank have been cooperating to establish the FIF, which would be overseen by a board that takes a decision on funding allocation supported by a technical advisory panel.Both the board and the technical advisory panel would be supported by the joint WHO-WB secretariat based at the Bank's headquarters in Washington, with assisting staff from the WHO.According to the plan, the Bank will provide financial and administrative leadership at the secretariat, operate as a representative for the FIF, hold and transfer relief funds, as well as provide administrative services.Meanwhile, the WHO will provide technical leadership; coordinate input for the technical advisory panel; and prepare relevant technical documentation, recommendations, and reports for the council.Both the World Bank and WHO will act as implementing entities, along with other global health partners with relevant expertise, including the Global Fund, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)."We look forward to your active participation in building and financing a FIF that is inclusive, equitable, and effective in making our world safer from pandemics," Tedros noted.To date, the G20 has pushed for an emergency fundraising commitment of around US$1.1 billion from five member countries and one international social organization to mobilize the role of FIF.The pledges came from the United States, the European Union, Germany, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Wellcome Trust.Additionally, Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin stated the meeting was not only focusing on the FIF as the source of funds to face future pandemics, but the world must also think about the uses of funds."Because money is (only) half the solution for the health crisis. We need to translate this money into access to vaccines, medicines, and diagnostic tools," he said at a press conference after the joint ministerial meeting.In order to create such access, he explained, the engagement with private sectors as the producers of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics was crucial."We need to talk to them, to engage with them. How can they maintain a certain volume commitment? How then we will be able to distribute equally and very quickly if the next pandemic happens?" he noted.The establishment of FIF is still in the ongoing discussion that will be continued at the next G20 meetings, hosted this year by Indonesia.However, as the G20 President, Indonesia will continue to gather as much as possible support from more countries as well as an international organization even philanthropists, in order for them to be able to contribute to the financing side of pandemic preparedness and response.Written by: Yashinta Difa Pramudyani, Editor: Fardah Assegaf (c) ANTARA 2022 Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.
