Participants who pre-registered via the whitelist were able to complete Naoris Protocol’s Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before the start of the sale event.Since launching on January 31, 2025, Naoris’s post-quantum testnet has been an overwhelming success, processing more than 64 million post-quantum transactions, onboarding 2.1 million wallets, deploying 828,000+ security nodes, and mitigating 342 million cyber threats, making it the fastest-growing trust and security layer in Web3.David Carvalho, CEO and Founder of Naoris Protocol, says: “We experienced overwhelming demand for our pre-registration whitelist when it opened, which was very encouraging and gave us an indication of the interest in our protocol.The threat to cryptography from quantum computing is no longer distant or theoretical - it’s on our doorstep, and the time to act is now. Naoris Protocol is the first-ever architecture that can easily integrate with any EVM-compatible blockchain and make transactions quantum-secure, as their security becomes more pressing every year.”Naoris Protocol is led by industry experts and cyber pioneers and backed by advisors with decades of experience. These include David Holtzman, former CTO of IBM and architect of the DNS protocol; Ahmed Réda Chami, Ambassador for Morocco to the EU and former CEO of Microsoft North Africa; Mick Mulvaney, former White House Chief of Staff; and Inge Kampenes, former Major General (ret.) and former fighter pilot and Chief of Norwegian Armed Forces Cyber Defence.The protocol’s architecture operates at the Sub-Zero Layer below layers L0 to L3, meaning it can seamlessly integrate to secure blockchain transactions, decentralized exchange (DEX) dApps, nodes, bridges, and other Web3 systems, without requiring hard forks or operational disruption. Beyond Web3, it is designed to secure a wide variety of systems, processes and physical infrastructure in traditional Web2 sectors, from healthcare to defense.In addition, Naoris Protocol runs a fully quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain secured by its proprietary Proof-of-Security (dPoSec) consensus mechanism. Its security mesh is powered by post-quantum cryptography and decentralized AI, and aligned with emerging EU and US quantum standards like NIST, NATO & ETSI.In 2022, Naoris Protocol raised a total of $31 million, backed by well-known visionary leader, Tim Draper, and institutional investors such as the Holdun Family Office and CLS Global. About Naoris ProtocolNaoris Protocol is the world’s first Decentralized Post-Quantum Infrastructure, built to secure both Web3 and Web2 against traditional and quantum threats. Operating beneath blockchain layers 0 to 3 as a Sub-Zero Layer, it integrates with existing EVM chains, nodes, bridges, dApps, enterprise systems, and IoT devices without requiring hard forks. Naoris Protocol combines Post-Quantum Cryptography, dPoSec Consensus, and Decentralized Swarm AI to create a self-healing security mesh that eliminates single points of failure. Since launching in January 2025, it has processed over 64 million transactions and mitigated 341 million threats.

宾夕法尼亚州费城, 2025年5月16日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit™（前身為 CGFNS International）歡迎世界衛生組織本週發布《世界護理現況報告》，該報告是自新冠疫情以來，首次對全球護理領域進行的全面評估。該報告強調，在疫情過後以及面對經濟不確定性、氣候變遷影響和持續的健康不平等情況下，強化全球護理能力已成為當務之急。報告警告，全球醫療人力短缺問題將持續惡化，預計到2030年將達到1,100萬人的缺口，這將迫使各國必須從根本上改變對醫療人力規劃與投資的思維模式。TruMerit 總裁暨執行長 Peter Preziosi 博士曾參與指導本報告撰寫的世界衛生組織指導委員會。他強調雖然這項挑戰迫在眉睫，但也提供了運用護理力量來解決不平等、強化醫療服務與全球醫療品質的契機。Preziosi 表示：「對此報告，醫療領域的非政府組織應將『協作』作為核心理念，與彼此、與專業學會以及以病患為中心的組織共同努力，追求真正的社會影響力。我們需要支持嶄新的方法，認可護理人員——全球醫療人力中人數最多的群體——在推動初級照護、韌性醫療體系以及全民健康覆蓋方案中所扮演的關鍵角色，以優化每個國家人民的健康。」他補充說：「正如報告所指出的，全球近80%的護理人員集中在僅覆蓋全球一半人口的國家中。這是全球護理人力的重大失衡，必須加以解決。我們可以透過擴大全球高品質護理教育與跨境職涯發展的方式，讓世界各地的護理人員發揮他們的潛能，進而改善這一狀況。」Preziosi 也指出了報告中強調的幾項重要機會：護理主導照護模式的擴展已取得顯著進展，目前已有超過60%的國家引進了高階實務護理（Advanced Practice Nursing）。透過強化在地化與專業化的照護，這些模式已被證實能提供具成本效益的醫療服務，並為擴大全民健康覆蓋與醫療平等提供可行的解決方案。全球護理專業正變得更加專業化與成熟，目前已有80%的護理人員達到「專業」等級。Preziosi 指出，下一個挑戰是確保這些專業護理人員能充分發揮其受訓所具備的能力，而這需要各國的法規架構加以強化與現代化，以反映更新後的執業範疇與相關的持續專業發展需求。此外，數位健康工具的廣泛應用也正在將專業諮詢服務帶到偏遠地區，其中包括遠距醫療與人工智慧驅動的應用。這些創新方式在提升可及性、彌補照護差距、活化護理教育，以及改善效率、可近性與醫療成果方面展現出極大潛力。針對報告中強調的這些以及其他機會，Preziosi 表示樂觀，認為當前由護理人力短缺及其他因素所帶來的嚴峻挑戰是可以被克服的。他說：「當照護提供者被賦予知識、工具與靈感，能在其專業中追求卓越時，他們就能引領我們解決當前與未來的醫療挑戰。」點此查看《世界護理現況報告》。 關於 TruMeritTruMerit 是全球領先的醫療人力發展機構。前身為 CGFNS International，該組織擁有近 50 年歷史，致力於協助護理人員與其他醫療工作者——以及負責發照與聘用的機構——在尋求在美國及其他國家執業許可時，驗證其教育背景、專業技能與實務經驗，促進其職涯流動性。作為 TruMerit，該機構的使命已擴展為建立符合全球快速變遷健康需求的人力資源能力。透過旗下的全球健康人力發展研究院（Global Health Workforce Development Institute），TruMerit 正在推動以實證為基礎的研究、思想領導與倡議，支持各項醫療人力發展方案，包括全球認可的執業標準與認證，藉此強化醫療工作者的職涯發展途徑。联系信息David St. Johndstjohn@trumerit.org来源: TruMerit相关图片 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

The IHW’s flagship events, the Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), jointly organised by the HKSAR Government and HKTDC, will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) on 26 and 27 May while the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair (Medical Fair), organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong Medical and Healthcare Device Industries Association (HKMHDIA), will run concurrently from 26 to 28 May, highlighting Hong Kong’s position as a leading regional healthcare hub.Margaret Fong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “As a global hub for medical innovation, Hong Kong serves as both a ‘super-connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’, driving regional collaboration to advance healthcare innovation and foster new quality productivity in biopharmaceutical technologies. At the same time, there are pressing global public health challenges, such as an ageing population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, which are intensifying healthcare demand. To address these challenges, the industry is actively embracing innovative technologies to upgrade and transform the healthcare sector. This year’s ASGH introduces a dedicated Silver Health Chapter, with both ASGH and the Medical Fair highlighting healthy ageing and elderly health innovations. The HKTDC will continue to serve as a platform for cross-sector collaboration supporting industry-academia-research partnership in fields including biotechnology, digital healthcare, and smart elderly wellness.

MELBOURNE, May 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - With geopolitical tensions, inflation uncertainty, and global capital flows still shifting in response to the Trump administration's renewed sanctions, fixed income continues to emerge as the strategic asset class for long-term investors.

Yet Australia's fixed income market remains a pillar of strength.The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) forecasts inflation to moderate toward the 2-3% target range by late 2025. Coupled with Australia's sound credit environment, strong institutional frameworks, and fiscal stability, this positions the domestic bond market as one of the most attractive globally.Key research insights from Quotient Capital include:Australian private credit grew by 14% year-on-year (2024-2025).Domestic corporate bond issuance surged 22% in Q1 2025.Liquidity across the investment-grade bond market is at its strongest in over a decade."Fixed income is no longer just a defensive allocation - it's a proactive, yield-focused wealth strategy," said Tom McCallister, Senior Fixed Income Advisor at Quotient Capital."In this cycle, investors are demanding capital protection, income certainty, and inflation resilience - and Australian bonds deliver all three."Geopolitical Shifts and Global Capital ReallocationThe global ripple effects of U.S. sanctions have disrupted cross-border capital flows and credit availability across multiple regions - driving a recalibration among asset allocators.Australia is benefitting as a preferred destination for investors seeking:Political neutralityRobust regulatory governanceHigh-grade credit assets"Private wealth, family offices, and institutions are reallocating to Australia with growing conviction," said James Harrington, Senior Fixed Income Advisor at Quotient Capital."We offer a unique mix of economic resilience and institutional-grade product access, which is proving incredibly attractive."Bringing Institutional Access to Private InvestorsQuotient Capital bridges the gap between institutional-grade opportunities and private capital - making it possible for high-net-worth individuals and SMSFs to access premium fixed income products, previously restricted to larger funds.Tailored solutions include:Infrastructure-linked debt instrumentsInflation-linked corporate bond portfoliosPrivate credit notes focused on essential service sectorsAll offerings are underpinned by detailed credit analysis, transparent structuring, and clear maturity horizons.

The mission also successfully enhanced collaboration between Hong Kong and the mainland, enabling mainland companies to partner with Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Middle East and beyond.Over the past few days, the delegation, comprising over 50 business leaders from Hong Kong and enterprise representatives from seven mainland provinces and cities, explored the Middle Eastern market and supported high-quality Belt and Road cooperation while promoting Hong Kong’s unique role as a superconnector and super value-adder.During the visit to Kuwait, 24 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and announcements were facilitated in trade and investment promotion, finance, law, transport and logistics, innovation and technology (I&T), agriculture, education and sport.The delegation met with senior executives and key members of the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA), conglomerate Bukhamseen Group Holding and the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) to discuss investment opportunities and potential collaborations.The delegation also met with several representatives from the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) to gain an in-depth understanding of the operations of Kuwait’s free trade zones. The meeting explored potential cooperation opportunities in areas such as logistics, manufacturing, distribution, and technology.The delegation visited the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre to gain a comprehensive overview of Kuwaiti history, culture and achievements.To foster cooperation, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organised a high-level business luncheon, which was attended by some 270 business leaders and key officials.Concluding the Middle East mission, Mr Lee said the delegation, comprising Hong Kong and mainland business leaders, had achieved three key objectives: 1. To strengthen government-to-government relations; 2. To find new areas of collaboration; and 3. To make friends, and expand networks. “Over the past four days, I have observed that both Qatar and Kuwait are experiencing rapid development, supported by substantial investment and continually expanding economies. In meetings with leaders and officials, I appreciated their forward-looking vision and understanding of Hong Kong’s unparalleled advantages under ‘one country, two systems’ as a bridge between the mainland and the world. As Middle Eastern countries seek diversification of risk and look for opportunities in China and the Hong Kong SAR to join the tide of the global economic shift towards the East, Hong Kong has boundless opportunities.”He pointed out that this visit will elevate the relationship between Hong Kong and Qatar and Kuwait to a new level, bringing more business opportunities to Hong Kong, and noted, “We will continue to strive to explore new opportunities and frontiers for Hong Kong.”Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: “Over the past few days, we engaged in high-level government and business meetings, hosted business luncheons and visited key development projects in Qatar and Kuwait. We explored how Qatari and Kuwaiti businesses can leverage Hong Kong's advantages in finance, innovation and technology and professional services to advance intiatives in finance, energy transformation and smart infrastructure projects, contributing to the Qatar National Vision 2030 and Kuwait Vision 2035.”“Following the visits, the HKTDC will continue to invite business leaders from the Middle East to visit Hong Kong.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Groundbreaking new research was released today revealing that illicit streaming devices (ISDs) in Taiwan are not only enabling rampant piracy, but also potentially pose significant cybersecurity threats to consumers and national infrastructure. The study was released at an enforcement workshop hosted in Taipei by the Taiwan Society of Convergence and the Asia Video Industry Association’s Coalition Against Piracy (CAP).The research, conducted by Professor Paul A. Watters of Cyberstronomy Pty Ltd, found that many ISDs are vulnerable to malware infections and can be remotely hijacked, putting users at risk of identity theft, ransomware, and espionage. Even more alarmingly, these devices could be exploited to form large-scale botnets capable of disrupting Taiwan’s critical infrastructure through coordinated cyberattacks.Key findings from the study include:49% of apps commonly associated with ISDs which were tested contained malware, with some triggering up to 20 detections on industry-leading security platforms.ISDs were found to have an average of 7.75 security vulnerabilities, leaving users exposed to exploits such as command-and-control takeovers and phishing attacks.One malware-laden app was found to use “superuser” privileges, granting attackers full access to a user’s device and connected network.Malicious infrastructure supporting ISD apps is hosted via obscure and abuse-prone domains, such as 6868c.cc and 1357c.cc, often shielded by private registrations.“Every ISD in Taiwan represents a potential node in a nationwide cyberattack,” said Matt Cheetham, General Manager of CAP. “If left unregulated, these devices could be weaponised to compromise homes, businesses, and government networks.” Cheetham noted that the study recommended a three-pronged approach to address the threat: tighten regulations on the sale and distribution of ISDs; expand enforcement and monitoring of malicious ISD infrastructure, and; implement DNS/site blocking to prevent access to known malware-distributing domains.About the Asia Video Industry AssociationThe Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA) is the trade association for the video industry and ecosystem in Asia Pacific. It serves to make the video industry stronger and healthier through promoting the common interests of its members. AVIA is the interlocutor for the industry with governments across the region, leads the fight against video piracy through its Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) and provides insight into the video industry through reports and conferences aimed to support a vibrant video industry.For media enquiries and additional background please contact:Charmaine Kwan, Head of Marketing and Communications | charmaine@avia.orgLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/asiavideoia |X: @AsiaVideoIA Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
