NextGen Holistic Cyber Defense Platform Empowers Threat Hunters with
 Unmatched Real-Time Threat Detection and Analysis

FAIRFAX, Va., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Craxel, a leading-edge software company, announced the launch of their ground-breaking integrated cyber defense platform, Black Forest Reaper.

Designed to revolutionize cyber defense capabilities for the world’s largest cyber threat hunting enterprises, including U.S. government federal civilian agencies, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and the intelligence community, Black Forest Reaper offers unparalleled speed, visibility, and price performance in combating cyber threats at scale.

Craxel Founder and CEO David Enga commented, “We are thrilled to unveil Black Forest Reaper, a game changing solution that is the future of cybersecurity for very large-scale enterprises. Our technology will arm both human and automated AI cyber threat hunters with advanced capabilities to connect the dots between observed data, threat intelligence, and vulnerability data, enabling them to extract insights at line speed and at very large scale, all with unrivaled price/performance.”

A key challenge in cybersecurity is the sheer volume of data that needs to be rapidly managed and analyzed. Legacy database engines are unable to efficiently index complex data at the necessary scale, creating an “indexing bottleneck.” Black Forest Reaper eliminates this bottleneck, allowing for complex data to be indexed at extremely fast rates and large scale, enabling analysts and algorithms to quickly and efficiently ingest cyber data and detect threats.

“This is a compelling technology that I encourage all cyber experts to evaluate,” said Payal Vadhani, Senior Executive in Cyber Risk & Compliance, formerly with AWS, HCL Tech, and Big 4. “A powerful multi-dimensional indexing capability like this could transform the defensive cyber analytics landscape.”

In addition to the features of the Black Forest platform, Black Forest Reaper includes:

Holistic Cyber Defense: Unified cyber platform that supports the entire end-to-end workflow from cyber threat intelligence analysis, detection, and remediation.Ingest Data from Any Source: Robust ingest framework supports ingesting STIX, NetFlow, syslog, and DNS data and provides a pluggable framework so any data source can be rapidly integrated. End user and machine-to-machine interfaces are delivered by the pluggable UX framework and Native/SQL interfaces, respectively.UX Interface: Flexible UX provides out-of-the-box capability and a framework to rapidly integrate custom UX components.Cost Structure: Petabytes/years of data kept hot in inexpensive, hyperscale storage, such as AWS S3, instead of large clusters of servers; data is kept readily accessible for cyber defense purposes, even for attacks that are “low and slow,” allowing typical queries to be performed in less than a second, without the use of any cache.

Black Forest Reaper is available to select Craxel customers for immediate deployment.

LONGPORT Whale Enters Malaysian Market with Next Generation Trading Infrastructure for Local Brokerages

LONGPORT Whale, with proven track record across 100+ institutional clients in Asia, makes its Malaysia debut at Bursa Malaysia Stockbroking Trade Fair 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LONGPORT Whale, a provider of AI-Ready securities trading infrastructure, is making its entry into the Malaysian market at the Bursa Malaysia Stockbroking Trade Fair 2026. The move comes as Malaysia’s Capital Market Masterplan 2026–2030 (CMP4) continues to hone in on local brokerages to modernise core systems, balancing investor experience, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience simultaneously.

Malaysian brokerages are increasingly confronted by a challenge that goes beyond front-end upgrades. Legacy architectures struggle to keep pace with digital-native investor expectations, rising cybersecurity standards, and the demand for multi-market expansion simultaneously. For many such brokerages, the question is no longer whether to modernize, but how to do so without adding complexity or disrupting the business continuity that clients depend on.

Zhong Hua, CEO, LONGPORT Whale, said, “Core trading infrastructure must support continuous evolution — in investor experience, compliance, and AI readiness — without adding unnecessary complexity. The brokerages that lead the next decade won’t be the ones with the best system today; they’ll be the ones whose systems are designed to keep getting better. LONGPORT Whale aims to bring its Asia-proven experience to help Malaysian brokers strike that balance.”

Built on a cloud-native microservices architecture and trusted by more than 100 institutional clients in Asia, Whale’s platform is engineered by industry professionals and refined through years of first-hand operational experience. For the Malaysian market, it addresses four priorities: a best-in-class trading experience validated across competitive, highly regulated markets in Asia; system resilience and performance built for institutional scale, with high system performance and output, real time risk management, and low system latency; global market connectivity spanning Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, US, and Japan without requiring system rebuilds; and an API-first, data-unified architecture that gives brokerages a practical foundation for AI adoption.

Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, where Whale serves online brokers, traditional banking firms, banks and wealth management institutes in a stringent regulatory environment, serve as the primary reference market for its Malaysia expansion. The company said it aims to work with local industry participants as both an infrastructure partner and a contributor to broader conversation on responsible modernization under CMP4.

About LONGPORT Whale

LONGPORT Whale provides integrated securities trading infrastructure to brokers, banks, fund houses, wealth managers, and family offices across Asia. Its cloud-native platform supports multi-market, multi-asset trading across front-, middle-, and back-office workflows, with a deployment model designed for regulatory alignment and long-term scalability.

Collaboration revolutionises trade & financial convenience for Tanzanian merchants and consumers

SINGAPORE, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thunes, the Smart Superhighway to move money around the world, has joined forces with Vodacom Tanzania, the country’s leading telco company, to transform cross-border trade and digital financial inclusion with Vodacom’s new M-Pesa Global Payment solution. Thanks to the collaboration, Vodacom customers in Tanzania can now seamlessly pay merchants in Uganda and China directly from their mobile phones.

This milestone solution responds to growing demand from Tanzanian traders who engage in commerce with Ugandan and Chinese markets but often face challenges with costly, slow, and insecure payment methods. With this innovation, leveraging the Thunes Direct Global Network, Vodacom aims to bridge those gaps, offering secure, real-time digital payments across borders and reinforcing its leadership in mobile money innovation in Africa.

The solution supports trade with two key markets for Tanzania. For eight consecutive years, China has been Tanzania’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $8.8 billion in 2024. In the same year, bilateral trade between Tanzania and Uganda reached approximately $2.23 billion, an increase of 64% on the previous year.

Epimack Mbeteni, M-Pesa Director at Vodacom Tanzania said: “This is more than just a payment feature, it is a catalyst for economic empowerment and a gateway for small and medium businesses and entrepreneurs in Tanzania to compete and thrive in regional and global markets. Through Thunes’ expansive and trusted Network we are enabling seamless, secure, and affordable cross-border payments that empower people, fuel trade and place M-Pesa at the center of Africa’s digital commerce future.”

Through Thunes’ Direct Global Network, customers can now send payments to merchants in Uganda using MTN MoMo and to Chinese merchants through the Alipay network, all through the M-Pesa USSD menu or the M-Pesa Super App. The process is secure, user-friendly, and eliminates the burden of traditional banking barriers for everyday traders and businesses.

Dawei Wang, SVP Network at Thunes, added: “Vodacom Tanzania joining the Thunes Direct Global Network to digitise cross-border payments is a game changer for local businesses. By combining Vodacom’s technology with Thunes’ trusted and proprietary Network, Tanzanian customers can pay partners in China and Uganda in real time. This innovation accelerates interoperability along with international trade and business growth and supports our vision of connecting the next billion end users to the global economy.”

This initiative stands as a strategic enabler for consumers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who need reliable and quick financial tools such as mobile money. A 2025 GeoPoll survey on Tanzania Financial Services and Usage found that 94% of the survey’s respondents use mobile money.

The Thunes and Vodacom Tanzania alliance is set to transform the lives of millions of consumers by dismantling cross-border barriers. By hyper-connecting Tanzania to global powerhouses like China and streamlining intra-African trade, the collaboration is helping to build an inclusive economy and grow Tanzania’s role as a force in the global market.
