Global Leader in Business Risk Intelligence (BRI) provides Decision
Advantage over Threats and Adversaries
SINGAPORE, June 4, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Flashpoint, the global
leader in Business Risk Intelligence (BRI) from the Deep & Dark
Web (DDW), has officially announced its expansion in the
Asia-Pacific market, with significant focus on Singapore, Japan and
Australia.
Jankang Tao, whose appointment as Flashpoint Managing Director for
Asia-Pacific at follows 16 years leading business initiatives for
global organisations such as Internet Security Systems, IBM, JouleX
and Cisco, will oversee operations in the region.
The company's decision to strengthen its presence in Asia-Pacific
follows its roadmap. Home to global leaders in industries such as
technology, oil and gas, manufacturing, retail, and financial
services, Asia-Pacific is an ideal environment for Flashpoint to
pursue its mission.
However, as markets and business practices in Asia-Pacific continue
to evolve, so do the threats and adversaries that organisations in
the region are facing. Flashpoint analysts have been monitoring
several cybercrime trends specifically in relation to the region's
core industries, including:
- Law enforcement action against criminal Bitcoin exchanges and
tumbler services
- Cybercriminal groups increasingly seeking and recruiting insiders
in financial institutions
- The apparent adoption of financially motivated cybercrime
techniques (ransomware and attacks on financial institutions for
profit)
- Consistent discussions of, and recruitment for, insider trading
schemes leveraging data stolen from financial institutions, news
agencies, and law firms
Flashpoint's offerings are particularly suitable for the region.
With unique DDW data, expertise and technology, the company's BRI
empowers organisations with a decision advantage over threats and
adversaries. By broadening the scope of intelligence beyond threat
detection, BRI provides relevant context to business units not
traditionally afforded the benefits of intelligence derived from
the Deep & Dark Web.
"We are excited to be ramping up our presence in Asia-Pacific. Not
only will this expansion provide Flashpoint with ample opportunity
to partner and collaborate with leading experts in the region, it
will enable us to provide even more organisations with a decision
advantage over a broad spectrum of threats and adversaries," said
Josh Lefkowitz, Flashpoint CEO and co-founder.
"Flashpoint's expansion in Asia-Pacific presents a fantastic
opportunity for even more organisations to develop and enhance
their security and risk postures with BRI," said Jankang Tao. "I am
excited to collaborate with esteemed experts in all sectors
throughout the region, to combat insider threats, fight fraud and
mitigate third-party risk, among many other use cases."
