Appdome Unveils GenAI-Powered Mobile Threat Resolution

Published

on

New Threat Resolution Center revolutionizes cyber support, dramatically lowering resolution time and getting users back to using the mobile apps they love.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Appdome, the experience leader in mobile defense, today announced its new Threat Resolution Center, powered by GenAI. The new service enables mobile support teams to instantly identify mobile threats, generate context-specific resolution steps, and improve threat response for all stakeholders. Appdome will be demonstrating the new GenAI powered Threat Resolution Center live at the upcoming Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas Aug. 7 and 8.

The scope, diversity, and sophistication of mobile threats are exploding. This, combined with the proliferation of malware, spyware and AI-based threats, means that the risk to mobile identity, data and transactions is higher than ever. Legacy mobile app security, anti-fraud and other products don’t consider the user experience. When mobile attacks happen, mobile end users are typically locked out of their accounts and left confused, frustrated, and flying blind. Likewise, understanding, and troubleshooting mobile cyber-attacks and threats is complex, time consuming and costly – for the mobile brand, enterprise and user.

The new Appdome Threat Resolution Center leverages the power of GenAI to provide real-time, context-specific, step-by-step guidance for end users to resolve threats and attacks on mobile devices quickly. This gives mobile support teams and end users the information they need to get past any attack fast. It also shrinks the mobile attack surface by speeding removal of mobile threats on end user devices. Mobile support teams also realize a boost in productivity by delivering faster mean time to resolution (MTTR) and reducing overall cost of threat response for all end users.

“We’ve been evaluating LLMs and GenAI as part of the threat response lifecycle since GenAI came on the scene,” said Tom Tovar, co-creator and CEO at Appdome. “Threat Resolution Center leverages two new innovations at Appdome – our new ThreatCode™ and Threat Resolution Agent™ – with GenAI to quickly synthetize massive amounts of unstructured data into step-by-step instructions that stop cyberattacks, malware and other threats on mobile end user devices fast.”

Fraud, malware and other attacks, combined with limited attack data and poor resolutions destroy the mobile experience. When cyberattacks happen, fire-drills arise between cyber and support teams. Triage, diagnosis and removing threats from mobile devices is extremely complex, time-consuming and challenging due to the immense diversity and dynamic nature of (a) mobile exploits, tools and malware, (b) mobile devices, (c) mobile operating systems (OS), (d) mobile networks and (e) other factors. To make matters worse, many forms of malware can hide inside other mobile apps, and access mobile apps via accessibility, custom keyboards and other settings. What works to remove a threat on one mobile device, mobile OS and network will not work for a different threat on a different mobile device, mobile OS and network.

“The mobile ecosystem is diverse, with seemingly endless permutations of apps, exploits, operating systems, and device types. Detecting and removing threats and attacks can feel impossibly difficult, let alone doing so with the user experience in mind,” said Katie Norton, Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC. “Appdome’s ThreatCode and Threat Resolution Agent aim to address this challenge by leveraging RAG-optimized GenAI, automatically creating and chaining GenAI prompts to bring threat-specific, context-aware instructions that seek to balance quick threat resolution with a high-quality user experience.”

How Appdome Threat Resolution Center Works

When an attack or threat is detected by an Appdome-protected mobile app, the Appdome Defense Framework in a mobile app dynamically generates a context-specific ThreatCode™. The ThreatCode is encoded with detailed and specific data about the threat, attack method, device, OS and other information, providing the DNA of each attack on the mobile end user’s device. Support, engineering or cyber personnel at mobile brands and enterprises enter the ThreatCode into Appdome’s Threat Resolution Center where Appdome’s Threat Resolution Agent™ generates the GenAI-prompts using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to query and optimize responses from GenAI for the attack. The resolution response includes how to identify and understand the attack, how to find the attack, and the step-by-step instructions to remediate or remove the mobile threat on the end user’s device, creating – for the first time – true self-service threat response and real-time threat resolution for mobile end users.

“Better threat resolution is critical to better brand loyalty and the best end user experience,” said Chris Roeckl, Chief Product Officer at Appdome. “Legacy products get in the way of app experience, doing little more than crashing the app with no data about the attack and no way to help the user. Appdome, by comparison, puts the user first – first by removing the engineering burden and now, by removing the support burden from the cyber defense lifecycle.”

Appdome will be demonstrating its new Threat Resolution Center at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas Aug. 7-8, 2024 at booth #1350.

CHiQ at IFA 2026: From Global Expansion to Deeper Local Engagement

Published

on

By

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA Berlin on September 4, CHiQ unveiled its new AI-powered home appliance range, covering TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washer-dryer combos. Rather than emphasizing technical specifications in isolation, the brand demonstrated how AI integrates into real-life household routines, marking a shift from technological innovation to everyday experiences and reflecting parent company Changhong’s continued focus on localization across global markets.

To address diverse household needs, CHiQ is embedding AI into a growing number of everyday scenarios. Its RGB MiniLED AI TV lineup integrates an integrated AI Sports Platform, transforming the TV from a traditional display into an interactive hub for home fitness and shared activities. The air conditioner features AI Human Presence Radar, which detects users’ locations and habits to adjust airflow dynamically. Meanwhile, the AI-powered refrigerator and laundry care system employ intelligent sensing and monitoring to help users take a more proactive approach to managing food freshness and garment cleanliness.

On IFA’s opening day, Grundig, CHiQ’s strategic partner and a premium European home appliance brand, presented a new product lineup across TVs, refrigerators, washer-dryers, and air conditioners. This showcase represents a further extension of Grundig’s brand development and product strategy and points to a new direction for Grundig in European and global markets.

In recent years, CHiQ’s focus has centered on simplifying everyday household chores through smart innovation. The brand has introduced a virtual giant panda as an AI interactive assistant, adding warmth and personality to its smart TVs and other AI-enabled appliances while naturally incorporating distinctive elements of Chinese culture into the user experience.

Skiing has also become another bridge connecting CHiQ with European lifestyles. Over the same period, the brand has strengthened its European presence as an official data partner of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup. These efforts have deepened CHiQ’s connections with consumers in Europe and around the world. At the same time, the brand incorporates the speed of skiing and the pristine character of winter sports into its products, bringing technology closer to users’ lifestyles.

Behind these initiatives lies a broader shift: CHiQ is advancing its localization efforts. From product experiences and brand messaging to sports, culture and other aspects of local life, the company is establishing more diverse touchpoints as it expands its presence in Europe. Moving beyond simply entering overseas markets toward becoming part of them, CHiQ is bringing its global expansion into closer alignment with the local markets it serves.

About CHiQ

CHiQ, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of consumer electronics and household appliances, is redefining industry standards with innovative products, intelligent technologies, and a growing commitment to corporate social responsibility. Its influence continues to grow across global markets, especially in Europe.

More Than Four-in-Five Parents Want Other Platforms Such As TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat to Adopt Safeguards

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Coalition to Empower our Future (CEF) today released new research finding overwhelming support among parents nationwide for the recent agreement between states across the country and Meta to strengthen protections for young people online and give parents additional tools to support their children. The findings show that parents not only support the agreement, but also want other social media platforms to follow Meta’s lead and implement similar protections so young people have consistent safeguards across platforms.

“Parents want practical tools that help them keep their kids safe online, and they want those tools no matter what platform their kids are on,” said Glen Weiner, executive director of the Coalition to Empower our Future. “This agreement is an important step forward that will help protect young people using Instagram and Facebook, but kids don’t spend all their time on one platform. To continue making progress, other social media platforms need to join these efforts and adopt the same policies. There’s no single solution to the challenges young people are facing, but giving parents more tools and helping young people build healthier habits with technology are important pieces of a broader, comprehensive approach.”

According to the survey, more than four-in-five parents across the country support the agreement between the states and Meta, including 82 percent of Democratic parents and 84 percent of Republican parents. Other key findings include:

Parents believe the new safety measures will have a positive impact on youth mental health, including expanded parental controls (82 percent), daily screen-time limits (80 percent), and muting notifications during school hours (77 percent) and overnight (76 percent).Overwhelming majorities of parents on both sides of the aisle want other platforms to adopt the same policies. More than four-in-five say other platforms should implement the same online safety measures, including 85 percent of Democratic parents and 86 percent of Republican parents.

Support is similarly strong when parents are asked about individual platforms, including:TikTok (85 percent);YouTube (84 percent); andSnapchat (82 percent).Parents want policymakers to take action. Four-in-five parents (80 percent) would support their state legislature putting these online safety measures into law, and more than two-thirds of parents (67 percent) would be more likely to vote for an elected official who advances these measures.

The new findings build on previous research from CEF showing that parents and voters want a comprehensive approach to youth mental health that gives families practical tools and teaches young people how to navigate technology safely and responsibly.

The full research findings can be found HERE.

The research, conducted between August 28 and August 31, 2026, in partnership with Mercury Analytics, included an online survey of 1,000 parents nationwide.

Bybit On-Chain Earn Raises BTC Staking Yield by 50% to 1.2% APR

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce Bybit On-Chain Earn has partnered with Function (FBTC) to upgrade its BTC staking Vault product, raising the guaranteed annualized return from 0.8% to as much as 1.2%, a 50% increase of the evergreen offering.  With Bybit, BTC holders no longer need to sit on their idle asset as they navigate a range-bound BTC.

In early September 2026, BTC has been consolidating around the $80,000 level after rebounding from roughly $62,600 in August and briefly climbing above $81,000 in late August. The cryptocurrency continues to hold above its key moving averages, encouraging many long-term holders to maintain their position.

Bybit On-Chain Earn‘s new BTC staking solution comes with a guaranteed minimum return, distinguishing it from variable-rate products where yield fluctuates with market conditions. Eligible users may subscribe to a fixed 45-day term with no option for early redemption. A subscription cap of 200 BTC applies. Upon maturity, participants can opt into automatic renewal, allowing both principal and accrued returns to roll seamlessly into the next staking cycle without requiring manual reinvestment. This structure is designed to give BTC holders a straightforward way to generate yield on idle holdings while maintaining predictable, fixed-term commitments.

The partnership with Function, the protocol behind FBTC, extends Bybit’s collaboration with the DeFi and TradFi convergence space, diversifying user access to potential yield opportunities across the digital asset landscape.

The upgraded exclusive BTC vault is now live on Bybit. Terms and conditions apply. Users may visit Bybit On-Chain Earn for details on eligibility requirements and potential restrictions.
