Companies turn to EnterpriseDB for AI data control

Organizations are increasingly adopting EnterpriseDB's EDB Postgres AI platform due to a rising demand for enhanced control over data in AI systems, particularly in sectors like banking, insurance, retail, and trading. Research from MIT Technology Review Insights indicates that prioritizing AI and data sovereignty significantly predicts success in AI initiatives, with such organizations achieving five times the return on investment. In South Korea, the Industrial Bank of Korea migrated 15 core systems to EDB Postgres AI, citing significant reductions in licensing costs compared to Oracle and improved scalability for future AI services. Shinhan EZ Insurance transitioned its core system to the public cloud using EDB, overcoming challenges related to legacy database licensing and emphasizing the importance of operational stability. Beyond finance, companies like MNTN, Euronext FX, and Kyobo Book Centre have adopted the platform to reduce vendor reliance, manage data workloads, and enhance compliance control. MNTN uses EDB for large-scale analytical processing, Euronext FX has implemented it across four data centers, and Kyobo Book Centre migrated from a costly data warehouse to the EDB solution. A common trend among these deployments is the use of a single Postgres-based platform for transactional processing, analytics, and AI tasks, reflecting an industry initiative to simplify operations and reduce costs. Hensley noted the critical convergence of AI systems with operational data, as AI agents operate against live data in high-volume workflows, highlighting the drawbacks of using separate platforms for transactions and analytics.

Windows Users Targeted in New Phishing Campaign

Research from FortiGuard Labs has identified a phishing campaign that disguises itself as purchase orders, prompting recipients to open harmful attachments. The campaign begins with a phishing email containing a malicious JavaScript file. When executed, this JavaScript decrypts and runs a PowerShell script that uses process hollowing to inject a .NET downloader module into the trusted Windows process MsBuild.exe. This downloader connects to a remote command and control (C2) server to download and execute additional modules, allowing the attacker to alter the malware's behavior after the initial compromise. The campaign poses significant detection challenges for Windows users due to its use of multiple encryption layers, fileless execution techniques, and process hollowing strategies. Security experts emphasize the need for organizations to enhance their detection capabilities beyond traditional methods, focusing on identifying suspicious activity across various devices and applications. The phishing attack exploits social engineering tactics and blends malicious actions with legitimate administrative tools, complicating detection efforts. Additionally, the human element plays a crucial role in breaches, highlighting the importance of effective communication and collaboration between security teams and other departments to improve security awareness and behavior.

Omnissa adds Windows Server management to Workspace ONE

Omnissa has integrated Windows Server management into its Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform, allowing organizations to manage Windows Server alongside various endpoints from a single cloud-based system. This integration aims to address challenges faced by IT teams that rely on separate tools for server management, which can increase costs and complicate operations. The inclusion of Windows Server enables IT teams to apply policies, automate tasks, and maintain visibility across devices. Hemant Sahani, Vice President of Product Management at Omnissa, noted that this approach offers cost benefits compared to traditional solutions like Microsoft System Centre Configuration Manager, enhancing security and streamlining server lifecycle management. The new support includes over-the-air configuration management, allowing enforcement of security policies and automation of patching. Administrators will have access to remote inventory data and insights into system performance and security issues, leveraging AI and machine learning. The integration allows for the consolidation of management tools, reducing the number of consoles IT staff must navigate. CDW has endorsed this launch, highlighting its potential to simplify operations and improve security for customers. Omnissa currently serves 26,000 customers globally in various domains, including unified endpoint management and security compliance.
