The New vivo V25 Pro Inspires Creativity with Enhanced Photography Features

vivo V25 Pro enables new dimensions of creativity with Super Night Video and stylish appearances with eye-catching colours

vivo has unveiled the highly anticipated addition to its stylish V25 series – vivo V25 Pro. With superior photography features, the smartphone has been designed for users who express themselves through photos and videos. The vivo V25 Pro will give users the power to embark on a self-expression journey with its stunning camera, powered by high-performance, energy-efficient hardware, all encased in an exquisite body.

The flagship-level 64MP OIS ultra-sensing camera on the back of the V25 Pro minimises blurry shots and supports a longer exposure time, creating clearer and brighter images and videos even in dim lighting conditions. With an eye-catching design, the Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass covering the rear panel changes its hue when exposed to UV light, reflecting the dynamic personalities of users.

Below its beautiful appearance lies a powerful processor with high energy-efficiency ratio and great capacity. Coupled with the newest cooling technology and fast charging capabilities, it offers a long-lasting and smooth mobile experience in various scenarios.

“The vivo V25 Pro brings new innovative and technologically advanced features to its users while exuding style and encouraging users to create, have fun, and explore. With the new V25 Pro, it continues to embody the V series concept and provide users with fresh tools and features,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo Malaysia. “vivo understands that users want a smartphone that is aesthetically pleasing and has excellent functional attributes. With the vivo V25 Pro, users can capture the best moments in life with their family and friends anywhere, any time with intuitive camera technologies, while expressing their creativity and emotions through the unique colour-changing design.”

Light up portraits in the night with intuitive imaging technology

Equipped with a 64MP OIS ultra-sensing rear camera that boasts an upgraded OIS and EIS capabilities and an 8MP wide-angle camera, the vivo V25 Pro delivers an excellent imaging experience and allows users to capture high-quality, super-wide shots with ease.

The vivo V25 Pro is setting new standards in night photography with the upgraded Super Night Mode feature, which accurately restores the colours and brightness of highly saturated images at night. Coupled with the new Real-Time Extreme Night Vision feature, users can manually adjust the exposure intensity when they preview an image, further improving the brightness, noise control and details of photos in real-time even in low-light environments. This gives users the freedom to play with the rear camera portrait features at night.

Easy and fun video filming experience with style

The vivo V25 Pro creates more possibilities for users to easily film and record fun and playful moments with families, friends, or pets at night. The Super Night Video feature is excellent at brightening and noise reduction in dark environments, enabling users to shoot brighter and clearer videos at night. The front camera of V25 Pro has the Natural Portrait video mode, which enhances the overall skin texture and clarity. Furthermore, the Hybrid Image Stabilisation (OIS+EIS) feature makes video shooting clearer and more stable.

The vivo V25 Pro also comes with a new Vlog Movie feature that improves the filming experience with video templates and tutorials to guide users on how to shoot in different scenarios, such as night, food, city and more, as well as an upgraded Multi-Style Portrait feature in the front camera that provides fun filters, enhancing the video shooting experience.

The Multi-Style Portrait feature also allows users to unleash their creativity with the Motion Blur effect, a new style which innovatively separates people from the background for a better portrait creation experience.

Spark creativity and fun through innovative colour-changing design

The vivo V25 Pro has a slim body of 8.62mm and features an elegant 3D Curved Screen with a centred punch hole at the top of the front camera. The lightweight and slim body make the device a comfortable fit in the hands of users. To ensure the phones stand out, vivo incorporated vivid colours for the vivo V25 Pro, with two colours available – Surfing Blue and Starlight Black.

In addition, vivo designed the smartphone to spark creativity and fun in users with the revolutionary Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass, which enables the rear panel of the devices to display different colours at different angles when exposed to UV light. The Surfing Blue edition of vivo V25 Pro changes from light sky blue to deep ocean blue.

Powered by energy-efficient and high-performance chipsets

The new vivo V25 Pro delivers robust performance and high-power efficiency to support various daily uses of its users. It is equipped with a quasi-flagship octa-core CPU, MediaTek Dimensity 1300, with 12GB RAM + 8GB extended RAM, which powers exceptional 5G capabilities, provides greater AI imaging capacity to effortlessly produce stunning 4K videos and ensures a smooth gaming experience.

Its performance and user experience are also improved thanks to the new, industry-leading Bionic Cooling System. The vivo V25 Pro also features a 66W FlashCharge capability and a 4830mAh large battery. It can power up the large-capacity and high-density battery cell from 0% to 71% in 30 minutes.

TWS Air, Lightweight Wireless Earbuds with Great Sound

Apart from the vivo V25 Pro, vivo also introduces the vivo TWS Air, a lightweight wireless earbuds design for music enthusiasts. The TWS Air is vivo’s lightest true wireless earbuds, with each earbud weighing just 3.5 grams. The earbuds are designed to fit the contours of the face and cannot be easily brushed out. It is available in two colours – White Bubble and Pebble Blue.

The TWS Air offers superb sound quality even in the lightweight design. It features a 14.2mm driver, the largest speaker driver for vivo’s earbuds to date. The powerful bass takes users on an immersive experience as they play games and watch movies, while the clear mids and highs make vocals stands out and every note from musical instruments come alive.

Top 3 Advantages of Galaxy Watch5 Series That Will Help You Become “That Girl”

You’ve probably heard of the “that girl” trend by now if you’ve ever browsed through the TikTok “For You Page” or Instagram “Reels”. In short, “that girl” resembles self-love, wellness physically and mentally, making positive changes in your life, and improving yourself every day to become a better person. The typical day of “that girl” would usually involve waking up early, eating well, exercising, going outside, journaling and dressing stylishly.

If you’re still working on making 2022 the year you become your best self, here’s how are some practical ways you can practice living “that girl” lifestyle with the help of Galaxy Watch5 Series!

*Although the phrase is genderized as “girl”, it has nothing to do with gender, so guys are of course encouraged to adopt the lifestyle!

Morning Routine: Rise Early with the Sun

Morning routines are crucial if you’re serious about improving your lifestyle. Waking up early will give you extra time to be more productive and accomplish things you want to. Wear the Galaxy Watch5 all night to

So, try challenging yourself to be active and workout for at least 30 minutes every day with the Galaxy Watch5, perhaps a simple jog or run around your neighbourhood. The workout tracking tool in the watch will automatically track your activity and evaluate your performance with the
Advanced Running Metrics
.

Like a personal coach on your wrist, the running metrics include detailed targeted drills – such as asymmetry, stiffness, regularity, vertical oscillation, and ground contact time – to improve various aspects of your running performance and educate ways to perfect your form to prevent possible injuries.

If you’re an outdoor adventure enthusiast, it’s no surprise that your day will be filled with adrenaline rush activities like rock climbing, hiking or biking. But while you’re at it, remember to wear your sturdy Galaxy Watch5 Pro throughout to track your progress because every sweat counts.

The smartwatch is able to auto-detect physical activities and
support over 90 exercises
 progress tracking, from steps to calories and more.
Made with 2x tougher Sapphire Crystal glass display, Titanium case and is water resistant at IP68 rating

Top 6 Ethical Hacking Certifications to Boost Your Career in 2022

Nearly no week seems to go by these days without at least one report of a data breach. Credit card information may have been taken from a shop. The records of those covered by a health insurance company may have been lost. Everyone seems to need the assistance of an ethical hacker with good Ethical Hacking Certifications to test their systems.

Ethical hackers are being used by businesses and governments to boost security by identifying holes before unscrupulous hackers can take advantage of them. In the field of ethical hacking, more and more people are using their skills with technology to have fun and make money.

Become “
certified ethical hacker v11
”

Types Of Ethical Hacking Certifications

Certified Ethical Hacker
Global Information Assurance Certification Penetration Tester
Offensive Security Certified Professional
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)

1. Certified Ethical Hacker

The most inclusive certification choice is the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). Through lectures and practical laboratories, the CEH exam is meant to evaluate a cybersecurity professional’s fundamental understanding of security threats, risks, and countermeasures. The test doesn’t need to be studied for by qualified professionals with at least two years of experience in cybersecurity.

Flexibility is a key advantage of the CEH certification, which is managed by the EC-Council. The EC-Council offers alternatives for instructor-led training, video lectures, and self-study. You can find these options online, and companies can hire EC-Council trainers to come to them and teach.

Even while a CEH certification is frequently specified as a requirement in job postings for ethical hackers, it might not always be the best choice. The fact that CEH places a strong emphasis on lecture-based training and that many of its hacking courses don’t offer enough hands-on experience is one of its biggest critics.

2. Global Information Assurance Certification Penetration Tester

The SANS Institute, one of the first institutions to offer cybersecurity training, oversees the Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) programme. Numerous vendor-neutral certifications with practical learning requirements are available from GIAC. Online classes are offered by GIAC. Additionally, the business supports white papers that are freely offered to the cybersecurity sector.

There are many ways to obtain the GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN) certification, but it is strongly advised that students enroll in the SANS Institute’s SEC560 course on Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking. It is one of the most in-depth courses on the topic and shows that the certificate holder has learned a good mix of theory and practice.

3. Offensive Security Certified Professional

Although it is the least well-known certification option, the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) is also the most technical. It is marketed as the only certification programme that is entirely hands-on and is provided by the for-profit Offensive Security. Offensive Security created the curriculum for technical workers to “demonstrate they have a clear, practical understanding of the penetration testing process and lifespan.

Knowing that the training necessitates a firm technical grasp of networking protocols, software development, and system internals—specifically Kali Linux, an open-source project managed by Offensive Security—should be taken into consideration before considering the OCSP certification. The majority of participants in this training programme will attend the course online; Las Vegas is the only location where classroom instruction is provided.

The OCSP exam is run on a virtual network with various configurations. Within 24 hours, the test-taker must investigate the network, spot flaws, and hack the system to get administrative access. A thorough penetration test report must be delivered to the Offensive Security certification committee at the end of the 24-hour period for evaluation. After reviewing the report’s findings, they will decide whether to approve the certification.

4. Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

An advanced certification exam in ethical hacking, called Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or CISSP for short, is created to assess a professional’s capacity for performing information security-related tasks. Also, this certification gives a professional the skills they need to handle security and stand out in an enterprise environment.

The three specializations available for CISSP certification are engineering, management, and architecture. A person with a degree in management, for example, can go for the CISSP management certification.

To take the CISSP test, candidates must have a minimum of five years of expertise in any two of the eight areas that ICS has authorized.
How can I register to take the CISSP exam? If a person has the relevant experience listed above, they can apply for the exam. If they pass, they will be able to manage cyber security in an enterprise environment.

5. Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)

The acronym CHFI stands for Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator, commonly referred to as the cyber equivalent of a detective’s license. This certification covers the most important parts, like a cyber security investigation and some advanced hacking clues that regular hackers might miss.

With this credential, you can work online in a number of different ways and get a good salary.

Requirements: A person needs to know a lot about computers, their hardware and software, and all the strategies that go with them.
How to show up for the CHFI exam: Depending on the competence level already attained, a person can prepare for an exam by training for 1 to 2 weeks. After successfully completing CHFI training, a person can apply for the exam once they feel they are prepared for it. After passing a test, a person can apply to work in the public or commercial sectors of computer forensic investigation as an expert in the field.

6. Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)

One of the greatest certification programmes in information security management with several employment options is the Certified Information Security Manager, generally known as CISM.

Requirements:
 A person must have at least three years of managerial experience in information security. If a person lacks certain information security management abilities that are not covered by either academic or work experience, they can also enroll in training programmes.
How can I register to take the CISM exam? An individual can submit an application for the exam once they have satisfied the skill requirements and have professional experience in the management of information security.

Conclusion

The cost of a data breach is rising. In 2018, the price increased a staggering 6.4 percent, averaging a cost of $3.86 million for each breach. With an average of 196 days to discover a data breach, the need for certified ethical hackers is growing exponentially. There is no shortage of opportunities for the
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
professional, but certification, skill, and solid ethics are key for anyone looking to build a successful career.

Trend Micro Blocks Over 63 Billion Cyber Threats in 1H 2022, Warns of Attack Surge

Trend Micro Incorporated
 today announced it blocked 63 billion email threats, malicious files, and malicious URLs in the first half of 2022, a 54% year-on-year (YoY) increase. It also revealed that government, manufacturing, and healthcare are the top three sectors targeted with malware.

Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director of Trend Micro Malaysia and Nascent Countries said
: “New and emerging threat groups continue to evolve their business model, focusing their attacks with even greater precision. That is why it is essential that organizations get better at mapping, understanding, and protecting their expanding digital attack surface. A single, unified cybersecurity platform is the best place to start.”

Ransomware continues to pose a major threat to local organizations; emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity in upcoming Budget 2023

In Malaysia specifically, Trend Micro shared that:

A total of 239,214,683 cyber threats were blocked in the first half of 2022.
It detected an alarming increase of 282% YoY ransomware attacks in 1H 2022.
The number of detected malware surged by 227% from 1H 2021 to 21,566,246.

Trend Micro’s report further highlighted the key factors influencing the increase in cyberattacks:

The rise of the hybrid working model – a combination of both work-from-home and on-site work.
Rising popularity of service-based malware – ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) – an illegal pay-to-use service using malicious software to extort payment or exchange from its victims.
The capitalization of the Russia-Ukraine hostilities by launching cyberattacks on both sides and people who are concerned about the conflict.
Cloud is another popular target for threat actors by taking advantage of misconfigurations and its infrastructure.

Cybersecurity remains a critical component in Malaysia

According to Goh, “Our timely mid-year roundup report evidently shows the significant increase in cyberattacks, indicating the dire need for public and private sectors to prioritize cybersecurity in any digitalization journey. Proactive and effective cybersecurity investments and measures are pivotal to keep the ever-evolving cyber threats at bay in ensuring continuous business operations to drive and strengthen economic growth.”

“To deal with new or heightened risks of more sophisticated cybercriminals, we welcome the government’s initiative to enhance existing legal provisions to protect the country against cyber threats. We also welcome the government’s unwavering commitment towards strengthening cyber resilience across the nation’s industry ecosystems,” said Goh.

In addition, Goh expressed his hopes that the upcoming Budget 2023 announcement would explore initiatives to solidify the nation’s cybersecurity posture by emphasizing the importance and value of investing in cybersecurity to mitigate cyberattacks regardless of the economic situation ahead of the Budget 2023 tabling on October 7.

Budget 2023 will focus primarily on continuing to protect the people’s well-being, ensure business continuity, and rebuild economic resilience to enable more sustainable economic growth in the medium term.

U Mobile’s Latest Collaboration With Qualcomm Offers Smart Retail Innovations in Malaysia

U Mobile and Qualcomm are collaborating to offer Smart Retail innovations for the retail industry in Malaysia
Smart Retail innovations merge technology into the retail experience, personalising the shopping experience for better customer experience and simplifying retailers’ operations through digitalisation
Smart Retail is only the first of more to come from this collaboration

U Mobile, the data-centric and award-winning mobile and digital services company, has collaborated with Qualcomm Technologies, the world’s leading wireless technology innovator, to explore the future of Smart Retailing. As part of this collaboration, U Mobile and Qualcomm will work together to enable digital innovations for retail players, enhancing the shopping experience for customers and simplifying operations for retailers in the process.

This collaboration is particularly timely as the retail industry has enjoyed a healthy rebound in recent months with the lifting of pandemic restrictions. According to the Malaysia Retail Industry Report for September 2022, the country’s retail industry recorded a growth rate of 62.5% in retail sales in 2Q2022, versus 18.3% in 1Q22M, with the projection of an average growth rate of 61.7% for the following quarter. In addition, the upcoming commercial launch of 5G also means that more and more digital transformations and innovation opportunities will become reality.

Smart Retail solutions will help retailers transform the shopping experience for customers while minimising their digital pain points. For example, retailers may personalise shopping experience according to customer profiles, making it easier for shoppers to locate a product within the store and even engage with customers while they are shopping through Augmented Reality (AR) and Location-Based Services (LBS).

The end-to-end customer shopping journey is also taken into consideration and enhanced with features like smart parking, integrated loyalty rewards system, enhanced VIP services and Online-to-Offline (O2O) retail, made possible by 360 degrees integrated IoT platform with existing retail digital enablement.

On the retailer’s end, their daily retail operations including inventory and resources management will be digitised, integrated and simplified for better management as well. Furthermore, retailer pain points like shrinkage, theft and security issues may be better managed using vision AI technology.

We look forward to this collaboration with U Mobile as together, we will be able to empower more retailers through Smart Retail,” said ST Liew, Vice President of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and President of Qualcomm in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

The vivo V25 Pro is designed to allow users to take amazing portrait masterpieces at night with its Super Night Portrait, Super Night Video mode and other key unique features.

Super Night Portrait
Due to limited light at night, the subject often seem dark causing the image to be blurry. The vivo V25 Pro is able to address this problem with its OIS, Super Night Portrait and Bokeh Flare Portrait. The OIS automatically detects the environment, especially during the night, and gets activated. It works in synergy with the AI Skin Retouching Algorithm to make faces look brighter and more detailed.
In addition to that, if point light sources are present in the background, bokeh flares will be added. These soft bokeh flares blur the busy background, making the subject stand out more. vivo’s own RAWHDR3.0 algorithm faithfully restore highlights, colours and brightness by adopting a more rational process and making more detailed colour adjustments.
The Real-Time Extreme Night Vision feature also allows one to preview how bright the image is in real time. Users can manually adjust the exposure and brightness during preview, so that they can decide the brightness level they like. It also tells the users how long it would take to shoot the photo, giving them total control in night photography.

Super Night Video
It reduces noise and helps brighten night footage, so users can capture wonderful memories with one simple tap even when it’s dark. The resulting footage brims with exquisite detail, looking bright and clear. Users have the option to turn on bokeh portrait video. The newest AI algorithm recognises depth-of-field and accurately separates characters from the background, focusing on the former while blurring the latter, making the picture much more cinematic. When a spotlight source is present in the background, it will be turned into a natural, soft flare, making the individual look like a big star in a video that is more artistic.

Vlog Movie
It includes 9 built-in vlog templates to cover common everyday video scenarios. Scripts are also available in real-time to guide users on how to move the camera, add special effects, apply filters, and add background music. In short, it shows users how to create a professional vlog step by step.

Workato customers also have the option to store, process, and retain their data in Singapore, if necessary or preferred.

“As Singapore has some of the highest regulatory standards for data protection and privacy laws in the world, we are now able to support customers with their data governance needs as they accelerate their adoption of digital automation,” Mr Teng added.

Are You Ready To Flexcam Your Best Shot?

No matter where you are, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is ready to capture the perfect moment. With this device, you can flex tons of amazing photos from new perspectives! We know it’s hard to get the perfect shot when you’re all alone especially when you want to try new angles.

With FlexCam, though, you can enjoy hands-free photography from any angle you want. Simply prop up your Galaxy Z Flip4 and snap away.  So whether you’re traveling solo or in the mood for a photo session with friends, FlexCam has got your back—literally!

Flex for Social

It’s not too late to build your social profile. Building your social is an important way to build your brand and the image you want to portray. It’s a reflection of your values and what you care about. So start glowing up your profile because making your own content has never been simpler with FlexCam.

Flex the angle that works for you—leave it flat on a surface and begin capturing with your voice or palm out for recognition! If you want to record a video, use the Auto Framing feature to film hands-free videos in Flex Mode while keeping in focus. If you’re on-the-go and need to be quick, hold the camera in the conventional camcorder mode for a more secure fit. Plus point: the capture or record button is just located nearby your thumb.

Flex for Nightography

You know what’s better than a night out? A night out with really great photos of all the memories you made—the excitement, the embarrassment, the people and the fun you were having. Capturing photos at night is a lot of fun, but it can be tough to get the right shot.

With powerful camera advancements, the camera on the Galaxy Z Flip4 will automatically adjust its settings to boost the lighting in every shot so that you can capture all the adventures from every angle in clear, low-light situations. This includes smoother and brighter nighttime videos too—with its Night, Hyper lapse feature, you can make time-lapse video in the dark too. It’s like having a professional photographer and videographer right there with you!

Asia Mobiliti to Enable Truck It with Advertising Technology to Match Advertisers

The collaboration enables advertisement buyers and agencies with targeted advertisements based on geolocation of vehicles location and demographics

Asia Mobility Technologies Sdn Bhd (“Asia Mobiliti”), a leading mobility-as-a-service and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider, has signed a commercial agreement with Truck It Sdn Bhd at the 6th Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) 2022 that will enable it with the technology to match advertisement buyers to Truck It’s fleet of logistic partners.

Truck It is amongst the first companies in Malaysia to offer advertisers – both big and small – mobility advertisements by wrapping them around its partners’ fleet of vehicles. These partners range from third party logistics providers to companies that operate their own fleet of vehicles. The concept brings billboard advertisements to where customers are as opposed to waiting for customers to come to them.

Under the agreement, Asia Mobiliti will provide comprehensive telematics and geo-mapping technologies to Truck It, which can then offer advertisement buyers the capability to target their customers, offer them real-time tracking information of all trucks, routes and display the type of truck that suits their choice.

The new upgraded solution, dubbed Truck It 2.0 and powered by Asia Mobiliti’s platform, allows advertisers to use a brand-new search engine to find the best options for their advertisement. This enables them to optimise their spending and strategically place advertisements on Truck It’s fleet partners based on location and demographics so that the advertisements can reach their intended audiences as they ply multiple routes locally and internationally.

“We are constantly evolving our business and Truck It 2.0 is the next iteration of that evolution,” said V. Thilaganathan, Chief Executive Officer of Truck It. “We began by revolutionising the outdoor billboard space by bringing mobile advertisements to those who have fleet transportation and now, we’re extending that concept by adding geolocation intelligence and advertisement technology (AdTech) to create more value for our customers.”

Asia Mobiliti Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder Ramachandran Muniandy said, “We are continuing to empower our clients in the mobility and transportation space and in this case, we are marrying traditional outdoor advertising with Internet of Things technology to create innovation in the AdTech space, a nascent area very few have explored to date.

This is a powerful combination as by using our technology, any company with a fleet of trucks can leverage the surface area of their trucks for advertising by equipping themselves with our telematics-enabled AdTech solution thereby growing new revenue streams for their businesses via the Truck It 2.0 platform.”
