HONG KONG, Feb 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CITIC Telecom International CPC Limited (“CITIC Telecom CPC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1883) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, China Enterprise ICT Solutions Limited (“China Entercom”), and H&H Group (“H&H Group”) has forged a successful partnership, strengthening the “Belt and Road” initiative and embodying the service of “CITIC, your trusted partner for Going Global and Coming to China”, deepening the company's strategy of connecting the world and fostering ecosystem collaboration. This partnership showcases how holistic information security and agile connectivity are achieved through a strengthened digital infrastructure, demonstrating how enterprises can excel in the global market by harnessing digital capabilities and embarking on a successful digital journey.An Unbreakable Bond: From Biostime to a Globally Diversified BrandEstablished as Biostime, H&H Group has overcome challenges and matured through various developmental phases, and more importantly, it has achieved remarkable digital transformation leveraging a suite of innovative technologies. In 2015, the Group strategically acquired Swisse, an Australian supplement brand, and therefore unlocked unprecedented opportunities for its development in the global market.Amidst transformative shifts, China Entercom has excelled as the digital service partner of H&H Group since Biostime’s listing in Hong Kong in 2010, offering a comprehensive “Cloud-network-security” full-stack service that encompasses a mature network architecture and cloud resources. Leveraging international experience and reliable technical capabilities, China Entercom provides H&H Group with crucial ICT infrastructure. Over the years, China Entercom and H&H Group have laid a solid foundation for domestic and international global coverage, including the seamless connection of its digitized platforms, private line service and cloud voice service, enhanced the network architecture to ensure efficient collaboration and service stability of its global team.Joe Liang, IT Operations and Information Security Head, H&H GroupJoe Liang, IT Operations and Information Security Head of H&H Group, stated that the Group faces challenges such as global expansion and ensuring information security in its digital transformation journey. However, leveraging China Entercom’s extensive ICT resources, global service expertise, robust network operation and maintenance, as well as in-depth industry insights, China Entercom successfully established a reliable platform for the Group’s businesses and facilitated its entry into the international market.Joe emphasized that besides being a trusted service provider, China Entercom is also a partner working hand-in-hand with the Group. The partnership marked a new era in digital transformation, transcending technical level and delved into strategic planning, cost reduction, efficiency enhancement and other aspects. This profound partnership infused boundless momentum and dynamism into the globalization and diversification journey of the H&H Group.Taking Cooperation to the Next Level: From Single Private Network to SD-WAN and IP-GuardIn today’s era of globalization, numerous Chinese enterprises have proactively set sail for the overseas market. As a leading company of the industry, H&H Group has also been steadily expanding its market abroad. Despite its successful expansion, challenges such as global management of operating systems, data interaction efficiency, system stability have emerged, prompting the H&H Group team to actively address these issues with determination.Acknowledging the immediate needs of H&H Group, China Entercom customized a comprehensive solution that upgraded the single private network to SD-WAN and IP-Guard together with its parent companies, CITIC Telecom CPC and CITIC Group. This solution delivered exceptional results for the Group that fulfilled its goal of global business expansion with unparalleled security, stability, reliability, flexibility, scalability and highly efficient cross-cultural management capability. China Entercom empowered H&H Group to overcome various challenges during business expansion – from introducing systems and applications across different regions to enhancing data interaction and unified management, ultimately raising the operation efficiency and market competitiveness in the globe. Today, H&H Group has been thoroughly immersed in globalization and firmly rooted in the whole-family nutrition and wellness market.“Zero Trust” Reinforcement: Building Globalized Security FrontierH&H Group and China Entercom have established a nearly 15-year closely bonded partnership from 2010 to 2025. In the next phase, this partnership will mark a new milestone with Zero Trust. According to Joe, Zero Trust can be illustrated in three ways. First of all, ensuring data uniqueness is paramount, any unauthorized endpoint accessing the Group’s network, system or SaaS platform may pose a severe risk of data breach. The second concern is hackers may use illegal terminals to invade the network, which will constitute significant security vulnerabilities and require urgent response and remedial measures from the Group. At last, due to its notable market share and profitability of e-commerce in the world, especially in North America, there is an increasing demand for data security capabilities in the online business of the Group. With Zero Trust being the key technology, the partnership with China Entercom is expected to build a more solid security protection for the Group in terms of operation and maintenance.Sam Guo, Sales General Manager, South China, China EntercomSam Guo, Sales General Manager of South China, China Entercom, further explained the integration of “Zero Trust” into the SASE solution, making it the cornerstone of TrustCSI™ 3.0, as China Entercom pioneers Zero Trust MSP (Managed Service Provider) services. The solution has 2 key features, first of all, by implementing Zero Trust technology, it significantly enhances the efficiency of users’ access to enterprises’ resources; secondly, through continuous monitoring measures, it effectively reduces cybersecurity risks and minimize operational downtime and financial loss resulting from security incidents. As for H&H Group, the day-to-day challenge lies in enhancing access efficiency and strengthening security defenses in its North American and interstate operation. Meanwhile, the pivotal role of security stakeholders in steering corporate growth and operation and development remains prominent.Securing “Going Global” through Digital Intelligence EmpowermentWith the ever-increasing threats of information security around the globe, enterprises going overseas like H&H Group are seeking to cope with the challenges and enhance their security protection level by improving intelligentized capabilities. The potential attack surface broadens as the globalization of enterprises accelerates, it underscores the increasingly symbiotic relationship between security and development.Adan Zhan, Senior Director of Data Science and Innovation of China Entercom, underlined that China Entercom has implemented TrustCSI™ 3.0, a holistic protection solution focusing on defense and attack strategies to address the challenges faced by H&H Group. To enhance its defense capabilities, China Entercom continuously optimizes its intelligent algorithms for precise threat detection, leveraging anomaly detection technology, big data models and AI to combat evolving threats such as zero-day attacks, enabling AI-driven human-machine collaboration that surpasses AI in global security operations. In terms of attack strategy, adhering to the principle of "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated”, China Entercom strategically deploys AI to automate the penetration testing tools, scanning enterprises’ threat and attack surface from various aspects.

香港, 2025年2月19日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 中信國際電訊集團有限公司（「中信國際電訊」，香港交易所股份代號：1883）全資擁有的中信國際電訊(信息技術)有限公司(「中信國際電訊CPC」)欣然宣布，其子公司中企網絡通信技術有限公司（簡稱「中企通信」）携手健合集團積極夯實"一帶一路"倡議，體現"要出國、找中信""來中國、找中信"服務，深化海外協同橋梁紐帶角色。雙方聯合案例更充分展現了健合集團通過強化數字底座，推動數智化國際化發展，以信息安全確保連接高效，實現企業在全球市場中暢享數字之旅。不解之緣：從「合生元」到全球多元化品牌健合集團，自「合生元」起航，歷經風雨洗禮，跨越多個發展階段，最終憑藉一系列數字化創新舉措，鑄就了數字化轉型的輝煌歷程。2015年，健合集團以非凡的戰略眼光，成功收購澳洲保健品品牌Swisse，這一里程碑式的舉措為健合集團開啟了前所未有的發展機遇，引領其邁向全球市場的廣闊舞台。在這一波瀾壯闊的轉型過程中，中企通信自2010年合生元在香港成功上市後便成為健合集團的數字化服務夥伴，從完善的的網絡架構、雲端資源到信息安全保障一站式"雲網安"全棧服務，結合國際化經驗和可信賴的技術實力，為健合集團提供了不可或缺的ICT基建底座支持。多年來，雙方攜手並進，不斷深化合作，鋪墊國內國際全球布局，為健合集團的數據化平台、專線業務和雲語音業務的緊密連接奠定了堅實的基礎，確保了健合集團全球團隊的高效協作和服務的穩定性。健合集團IT運維及信息安全總負責人梁志堅健合集團IT運維及信息安全總負責人梁志堅表示，在數字化轉型的征途中，健合集團面臨著出海項目拓展、信息安全保障等多重挑戰。而中企通信憑藉其強大的ICT資源布局、國際化服務經驗、穩健的網絡運維和深厚的行業洞察，成為我們業務基礎架構的底座，幫助健合集團進一步擴展了海外市場。梁志堅強調，中企通信不僅是健合集團信賴的供應商，更是攜手並進的合作夥伴。雙方的合作不僅停留在技術層面，更深入到戰略規劃、降本增效等多個維度，共同書寫了數字化轉型的嶄新篇章。這份緊密而深入的合作，無疑為健合集團的全球多元化品牌之路注入了源源不斷的動力與活力。合作升級：從單一專網邁向SD-WAN及桌管服務在全球化的洪流中，眾多中國企業揚帆出海，積極開拓國際市場。健合集團，作為行業翹楚，隨着業務的持續擴張，健合集團也面臨了業務系統全球化管理、數據交互效率以及系統穩定性等方面的嚴峻挑戰，並成為健合集團團隊極需解決的關鍵問題。針對健合集團的迫切需求，中企通信聯合母公司中信國際電訊CPC及集團為其量身打造了從單一專網向SD-WAN及桌管服務（IP-Guard）升級的多方位解決方案。這一方案以其安全性、穩定性、可靠性、靈活性、拓展性以及跨文化環境下的高效管理能力，成功為健合集團克服了業務拓展過程中的諸多難題，高效地將業務和應用系統推向不同國家和地區，實現數據的高效交互和統一管理，顯著提升運營效率和全球範圍內的市場競爭力，完美達成了健合集團全球化業務拓展的目標預期。今天，健合集團已經深度融入全球化進程，並在全家庭營養健康布局上紮根更穩。深化"零信任"，共築全球化安全防線從2010年到2025年，健合集團與中企通信在長達近15年的合作中建立了緊密的夥伴關係。接下來，雙方的合作將迎來新的里程碑 - 零信任。梁志堅從三個維度介紹了零信任的重要性，首要的是確保數據唯一性，任何非授權終端嘗試訪問我們的網絡、系統、SaaS平台等，都將帶來嚴峻的數據泄露風險。其次，黑客利用非法終端入侵網絡的風險不容忽視，這構成了重大的信息安全漏洞，需集團層面緊急應對。再者，考慮到健合集團在全球，尤其是北美地區電子商務的顯著份額及利潤貢獻，線上業務對數據安全能力的需求日益迫切。從運維的角度來看，健合集團期望與中企通信的零信任技術溝通合作能夠為其提供更加穩固的安全保障。中企通信南中國區銷售總經理郭遠達中企通信南中國區銷售總經理郭遠達補充道，中企通信是較早從事零信任MSP（管理服務供應商）的公司之一，已將"零信任"理念進化為SASE解決方案，這也是其雲網神盾(R)的重要組成部分。該方案具備兩大核心特性：一方面，通過零信任技術的應用，顯著提升了用戶訪問企業資源的效率；另一方面，藉助持續的監控措施，有效降低了客戶的網絡安全風險，幫助客戶避免因安全事件造成的業務中斷和經濟損失。健合集團在北美及其他跨州的運營中，如何有效提高訪問效率並加強安全防禦能力，是其每天都要思考的問題，安全負責人肩負着企業發展的重任，其重要性在其運行和發展中越來越突出。數智"賦能"安全"出海"在當前全球信息安全威脅日益加劇的背景下，眾多像健合集團這樣的出海企業正積極應對挑戰，不斷部署智能化能力以提升安全防護水平。隨着企業全球化步伐的加快，其所面臨的攻擊範圍也在不斷擴大，安全與發展之間的關係變得愈加密切。中企通信數據科學與創新高級總監詹東東強調，為有效應對這一挑戰，中企通信全新升級信息安全管理服務能力並打造"雲網神盾(R)"，從防禦與攻擊兩個維度入手，全力協助企業構建比較全面的防範體系。在防禦方面，中企通信不斷優化智能算法，精準識別潛在的未知威脅。面對零日攻擊等新型威脅的增多，其採用異常檢測技術，結合大數據模型與人工智能，實現了基於AI且超越AI的人機協同全球安全運營。在攻擊層面，秉持"知己知彼，百戰不殆"的原則，利用人工智能技術自動化編排滲透測試工具，多方面掃描企業在全球的威脅面與暴露面。通過深入分析現有資產，制定出精準的滲透攻擊策略，旨在發現並修補潛在的安全漏洞與脆弱點。中企通信將攻防策略、紅藍對抗緊密結合，致力於為全球信息化進程中的企業提供多方位的安全保障。強強聯合：共謀"一帶一路"新機遇在複雜多變的全球化市場環境中，企業戰略的制定和執行猶如航海中的舵手，而數字化策略及創新發展能力無疑是航行的動力，助推企業無懼風浪，邁步下一片藍海。健合集團作為大健康行業的領導者，多年來歷經市場風浪，始終目標篤定，乘風破浪中穩步前行。過程中，中企通信的優質服務為健合集團的業務擴展和全球化戰略提供了強有力的支持，實現了高效網絡連接、穩定業務運營和可靠信息安全保障。梁志堅指出，作為一家擁有豐富國際化經驗與全球化資源的民營企業，健合集團攜手中企通信，將更有效地迎接市場上的各種挑戰。他特別提到，兩者的合作不僅建立在堅實的技術基礎之上，還相互認可對方的品牌影響力和國際聲望。梁志堅還向有意加入"一帶一路"倡議的企業提出建議，強調需要清晰地認識自身業務，理解當前的IT業務狀況和發展需求，並可考慮與像中企通信這樣信譽良好的服務供應商建立合作關係，共享共贏。針對"一帶一路"倡議，中企通信郭遠達提出了四項建議：第一，深入研究目標市場的法律體系、政策環境、文化特質及社會需求，確保項目順利實施；第二，強化合規性和安全管理，嚴格遵循國際標準和地方性法規；第三，積極履行社會責任，關注環境保護和社區貢獻；第四，構築信創朋友圈，深化國際優秀合作夥伴相互賦能，通過資源共享和優勢互補，共同實現成長和發展。郭遠達認為，中企通信與健合集團的合作模式是上述建議的最佳實踐之一，雙方將繼續緊密合作，致力於推動"一帶一路"項目的高效進展和可持續發展。關於健合集團H&H（健合）集團秉承讓人們更健康更快樂的使命，聚焦嬰幼兒營養及護理業務單元(BNC)、成人營養及護理業務單元(ANC)和寵物營養與護理業務單元(PNC)三大核心業務，致力於創造差異化的優質產品及令人嚮往的品牌，成為全球高端營養及健康產業領導者。 集團旗下匯聚高端品牌：高端嬰幼兒營養與健康品牌Biostime合生元、專業嬰幼兒護理用品品牌dodie杜迪、有機兒童食品品牌GOOD GOÛT咕咕好味、海外自然健康營養品牌Swisse斯維詩、高端益生菌科技護膚品牌Aurelia、專註腸道健康的進口寵物營養品牌Solid Gold素力高。請瀏覽www.hh.global獲取更多資訊。關於中企通信中企網絡通信技術有限公司（簡稱"中企通信"或"CEC"）是中信成員企業。憑藉扎實的全球市場經驗、多行業應用、客戶實踐以及技術實力，結合廣泛的ICT資源覆蓋、專業的本地化服務、優質的技術解決方案，中企通信為「一帶一路」及全球化企業打造綜合數智解決方案， 滿足千行百業ICT服務需求。請瀏覽www.china-entercom.com獲取更多資訊。中信國際電訊CPC簡介中信國際電訊（信息技術）有限公司（「中信國際電訊CPC」）是中信國際電訊集團有限公司（香港交易所股份代號：1883）的全資附屬公司，公司一直矢志透過先進技術及旗艦解決方案，包括TrueCONNECT™專用網絡服務、TrustCSI™信息安全解決方案、DataHOUSE™全球統一雲數據中心解決方案及SmartCLOUD™雲端運算解決方案，為全球跨國企業提供綜合數碼解決方案， 滿足不同行業的ICT服務需求。憑借「創新‧不斷」的服務理念，中信國際電訊CPC積極利用創新技術，將人工智能、擴增實境、大數據，物聯網和其他尖端新興技術的強大潛力轉化為企業客戶的業務價值，協助客戶透過數碼化發展保持市場領先優勢、業務更具靈活性及成本效益，成為企業推動數碼轉型的重要策略夥伴。中信國際電訊CPC以「服務在地，連接全球」的優勢，承諾為客戶提供最優質的全球化一站式ICT服務。全球化網絡資源連接近170個服務據點、60多個SDWAN 網關；21個雲服務中心、30多個數據中心及3個全天候運作的安全運作中心，服務遍布约160個國家和地區，無縫連接亞洲、歐美、非洲、中東以及中亞等地區 。透過全球化服務佈局，多年不斷深耕各個行業與領域經驗，一系列國際標準服務認證（SD-WAN Ready, ISO 9001、14001、20000、27001 及27017），確保為企業提供國際化標準及服務資源，專業的在地服務及交付能力，同時，優質的客戶體驗和服務質量，成為領先的綜合信息智能化服務供應商。請瀏覽www.citictel-cpc.com獲取更多資訊。傳媒查詢：Catherine Yuen中信國際電訊CPC(852) 2170 7536電郵：catherine.yuen@citictel-cpc.com Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

The 11th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo from 2 to 6 March, showcasing a wide range of jewellery raw materials, while the 41st Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai from 4 to 8 March, presenting a range of exquisite finished jewellery pieces. The twin shows will help exhibitors and buyers tap into global trade opportunities.Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year's twin jewellery shows are bringing together some 4,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries and regions, of which nearly 70% are coming from outside Hong Kong. Among them, exhibitors from Japan, Spain, French Polynesia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico and Lebanon are all expanding their presence at the fairs. The two shows are expected to attract more than 110 buyer missions, demonstrating the HKTDC’s strengths in creating a world-class jewellery trading platform for the industry and reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as an international jewellery sourcing and trading hub."Despite the various challenges facing the global jewellery market, the value of fine jewellery exported from Hong Kong to the United States rose by more than 10% year-on-year in 2024, while exports to the European Union, the Middle East and ASEAN rose by 6.5%, 3.8% and 2.6% respectively.38 pavilions welcome global buyersThe twin jewellery shows have received strong support from industry players around the world for many years. In 2025, the shows feature 38 geographic and industry pavilions from Mainland China, Taiwan, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Türkiye, United Kingdom, Israel, Brazil, Colombia and the United States. In terms of industry pavilions, the Asia Jewelry Culture Design and Crafts Association is joining the show for the first time, while the Tanzanite Foundation, Asia Pacific Creator Association and International Colored Gemstone Association are all returning. In addition, the Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association is once again setting up a pavilion together with the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), featuring jewellery-making machinery and technologies. The twin shows are attracting buyers from across the globe, covering large jewellery retail chains and both luxury and affordable jewellery and designer brands. Exhibitors and buyers alike will enjoy bountiful opportunities for industry exchange and collaboration.The HKTDC is always looking to optimise the sourcing experience for buyers worldwide through various initiatives. This year, special measures have been introduced to encourage more Muslim buyers to visit the shows, including providing shuttle buses to and from local mosques, offering a list of Muslim-friendly hotels and restaurants, and cooperating with the Hong Kong Tourism Board to arrange guided tours for Muslim buyers.Creative designs in focus, Gold Jewellery Zone makes debutTrendy and innovative products can help manufacturers stand out in the market. The theme of this year’s twin jewellery shows is Symphony of Sparkles, likening gemstone carving to the arrangement of musical notes, embodying the beauty of creation. This year's Designer Jewellery Galleria at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show features exhibitors using filigree inlay technique, an almost-lost craft that is part of China’s intangible cultural heritage, to create fine designs. Among them are 18K gold wheat ears launched by Mainland China company Changzhou Yi'an Jewelry Co., Ltd (Booth: CEC 1CON-029) that won the Best Design Award in the 2019 Tiangong Awards. Many Hong Kong exhibitors are also using the shows to launch creative products, including Austy Lee Company Limited (Booth: CEC 1E-F32), which will introduce a snake-shaped necklace to mark the new lunar year, and Zuri Jewelry Company Limited (Booth: CEC 1E-C18), which is launching its "Panda and Bamboo" jewellery collection with cute designs modelled on An An and Ke Ke, the giant pandas in Hong Kong.The International Jewellery Show is proud to introduce the Gold Jewellery Zone in 2025 as a new showcase for novel designs. Exhibitors include Malaysian jewellery company CHL Innovation Industries Sdn Bhd (Booth: CEC 3E-D15) which is launching a series of affordable luxury gold jewellery sets suitable for daily wear, including a durian pendant that stands out with its unique local characteristics.With the goal of nurturing new design talents in the industry, the HKTDC had organised the International Jewellery Design Excellence (IJDE) Award and the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition. The results will be announced at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show with the winning designs going on display. In addition, the Young Jewellery Designer Arena has been added for this year’s show to spotlight the creativity and craftsmanship of up-and-coming designers.Rare and precious treasures in the spotlightThe two shows will continue to exhibit rare jewellery to attract buyers. At the International Jewellery Show, Hong Kong exhibitor Unique Brilliant Limited (Booth: CEC GH-C13) will showcase a pendant mounted with an extremely rare 40+ carat unheated Tanzanian ruby. At the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show, American exhibitor Emco Gem (Booth: AWE 7-H01) will present high-quality Colombian emeralds ranging from 9 to 15 carats while Indian exhibitor Fine Star Jewellery & Diamond (Booth: AWE 5-D23) will display a fancy yellow diamond of over 30 carats. Hong Kong exhibitor HYT International HK Limited (Booth: AWE 9-A23) will exhibit a heart-shaped pink diamond weighing 1.5 carats from Australia.Mens and unisex jewellery and affordable jewellery are all becoming increasingly popular. This year, nearly 200 exhibitors will be showcasing men’s jewellery, including Hong Kong exhibitor Austy Lee Company Limited (Booth: CEC 1E-F32) which will present the Tsuruhime Sen no Odori Brooch made of 18K rose gold with antique materials. In the affordable luxury jewellery category, Hong Kong exhibitors – G S Jewellery (Mfy) Co. Limited (Booth: CEC 1A-E36), IAD Jewellery Limited (Booth: CEC 1C-A12) and Kayra Creation Limited (Booth: CEC 1C-F18) – will all be showcasing their daily wear lines.30+ events explore hot topics such as sustainable development and AIMore than 30 industry-related seminars and networking activities will be held during the twin jewellery shows, covering topics such as sustainable development, jewellery technology, identification technology and other new industry trends. ISO certification expert CK Cheung and Edward Johnson, Corporate Social Responsibility Director from British company GEMFIELDS, will explain the latest developments in ISO and ESG certification and analyse how these certifications set standards for the industry and help propel its sustainable development.In the area of jewellery and identification technology, the shows will feature a series of seminars on design, craftsmanship and innovation. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will explain the heat treatment of gemstones and introduce new identification services for emerald fillings. Gübelin Gem Lab will explain how to apply various breakthrough technologies to establish more consistent and reliable standards, including AI-driven "Gemtelligence" technology and the use of blockchain technology and physical tracking markers to enhance market transparency in helping dealers and consumers verify the traceability information of materials.Combining online and offline services to boost sourcing efficiencyThis year’s twin jewellery shows will continue to use the EXHIBITION+ hybrid format. In addition to on-site procurement, the HKTDC AI-powered “Click2Match” will provide online business matching for exhibitors and buyers. Onsite buyers can use "Scan2Match" to scan exhibitors’ QR codes and continue discussions with exhibitors online during or after the show. To ease the buyer admission process, the HKTDC Marketplace App and the official websites of the two shows provide online verification functions. Buyers need only to register through these platforms and upload a photo and valid identification to obtain a verified eBadge for direct entry, greatly reducing queuing times for onsite registration and verification and enhancing sourcing efficiency.To help buyers visit the two shows, free shuttle buses to and from AsiaWorld-Expo and the city (including the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai) will be arranged.
