GITLAB VIRTUAL EVENT HIGHLIGHTS AGENTIC AI'S POTENTIAL FOR SOFTWARE DELIVERY

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- GitLab Inc, the intelligent orchestration platform for development, security and operations (DevSecOps), has hosted GitLab Transcend, an exclusive virtual event for technology leaders focused on the role of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) in modern software delivery.

The event showcased how software teams are orchestrating AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle to automate routine tasks, accelerate innovation and maintain enterprise-grade security, compliance and governance, according to a statement.

In a keynote address, GitLab Chief Executive Officer, Bill Staples highlighted what he described as the “AI paradox” in software delivery, noting that while AI tools can deliver up to 10 times productivity gains in coding, developers spend only about 52 minutes a day writing code, limiting overall delivery impact.

He said GitLab’s Intelligent Orchestration enables agentic AI automation across the full software lifecycle in alignment with organisational standards, workflows and compliance requirements.

Meanwhile, GitLab Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Manav Khurana outlined three core components of the company’s Intelligent Orchestration strategy, namely the Agentic Core, which combines the GitLab Duo Agent Platform with unified context to enable agentic AI across the lifecycle; Unified DevOps and Security to simplify end-to-end software delivery; and Enterprise Guardrails to provide deployment flexibility and operational control.

A customer session with Southwest Airlines discussed how the GitLab Duo Agent Platform supports the delivery of mission-critical software while maintaining the reliability and resilience required for round-the-clock airline operations.

Additional sessions featured customer results from organisations including Ericsson, Deutsche Telekom and Barclays, as well as a partner discussion with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) on scaling enterprise deployments through pre-validated solutions combining GitLab’s orchestration capabilities with OCI infrastructure.

The event also included product demonstrations showing collaboration between software teams and AI agents across the development lifecycle, with visibility into the impact on software engineering performance metrics.

GitLab further announced the launch of a virtual hackathon, running through March 25, inviting developers to create and share custom AI agents and workflows, with selected projects to be featured in GitLab’s AI Catalog.

Veritage Issues Research Report on The Missing Link in Family Business Transitions

Veritage report shows emotional disconnection in wealthy business families, urging dialogue and governance to protect relationships and transitions


HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb 12 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veritage International has released a new research report that examines key hidden risks facing business families around the world. Missing Link in Family Business Transitions: How Emotional Disconnection Threatens Family Legacy report identifies a major disconnect between founders/current owners and the next generation on how to prepare for future ownership and wealth transitions, driven by gaps in communication and alignment.

The research summarizes patterns in preparing both generations, concerns about letting go and taking over, and unaddressed emotional challenges in families of wealth. It notes that success involves wellbeing, unity, and a long‑term shared vision, with the family and its wealth vision needing to support each other through clear vision, safe dialogue, and investment in relationships.

The report shows that many next generation members feel there is no clear role for them in family wealth decisions or ownership, but that when family members feel heard and respected they can manage transitions with greater confidence and alignment. Veritage presents the research as a resource for advisors, family offices, and business families, aiming to open discussion about often avoided emotional challenges in families of wealth and make emotional governance a regular part of conversations about wealth, succession, and shared contribution.

RegASK Launches AI-Assisted Label Review Delivering Compliance Reports in Seconds Across Global Markets

New label review capability and global regulatory database transform compliance from a manual bottleneck to competitive advantage.

NEW YORK & SINGAPORE, Feb 11 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- RegASK, the Agentic AI platform redefining regulatory intelligence and workflow orchestration for Life Sciences and Consumer Products organizations, today announced the launch of its AI-Assisted Label Compliance Review, a transformative capability that delivers comprehensive label compliance checks in seconds.

Label compliance checks have long been one of the most time-consuming and risk-prone steps in product commercialization. RegASK’s new capability replaces weeks of manual checks with instant review, enabling teams to launch products faster without compromising regulatory rigor.

With RegASK’s new capability, teams can upload packaging artwork and seamlessly validate it against the web of regulations across global markets, including the US, EU, UK, and China. The system delivers clear compliance assessments with actionable recommendations and pinpoints issues directly on the label using an interactive viewer. Each finding is fully traceable, with direct hyperlinks to the underlying source regulations, creating a complete audit trail for confident, defensible decision-making.

“Our AI-Assisted Label Compliance Review transforms one of the biggest bottlenecks in product launches into a true go-to-market advantage,” said Caroline Shleifer, Founder & CEO of RegASK. “By unifying regulatory intelligence and AI-assisted label review, we’re removing structural friction and enabling compliance to operate at the speed global markets demand.”

The launch is underpinned by major enhancements to RegASK’s core infrastructure, including a new global regulatory database that provides a 360-degree, chronological view of each regulation’s full lifecycle from initial consultation to amendments and enforcement. Teams now have access to the complete timeline of a regulation, tracking how it has evolved and its current status. This robust foundation ensures label compliance checks are always based on the most current and complete regulatory information available.

“For decades, regulatory teams have been forced to manually cross-reference fragmented regulations,” said Amenallah Reghimi, Chief Product & Technology Officer of RegASK. “That era is over. With our AI-Assisted Label Review and global regulatory database, we’re redefining what operational excellence looks like in compliance. We've built a system where teams can operate with unprecedented speed, visibility, and confidence in their everyday compliance workflows.”

RegASK’s new capability compresses review timelines, reduces rework, and eliminates avoidable compliance delays, fundamentally changing how organizations approach product launches. It reflects the company’s broader mission to close the gap between regulatory complexity and business velocity, empowering teams to operate with regulatory readiness at global scale.

EC-Council Expands AI Certification Portfolio to Support Singapore’s AI Workforce Readiness and Trusted AI Adoption

Aligned with Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0 focus on talent and trust, four new AI certifications and Certified CISO v4 build role-ready skills to adopt, defend, and govern AI at scale

SINGAPORE, Feb 11 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EC-Council, creator of the world-renowned Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential and a global leader in applied cybersecurity education and training, today launched its Enterprise AI Credential Suite, with four new role-based AI certifications debuting alongside Certified CISO v4, an overhauled executive cyber leadership program. The dual launch is the largest single expansion of EC-Council’s portfolio in its 25-year history, built for one clear reality: AI is scaling faster than the workforce trained to run, secure, and govern it.

The launch is aligned with Singapore’s national direction on AI capability and trusted deployment under the National AI Strategy 2.0, which emphasizes building practical talent pipelines and strengthening trust as AI expands across sectors. As organizations move AI from pilots into everyday operations and decision-making, the need is rising for structured, role-ready pathways that support responsible adoption, stronger security, and clear governance.

Singapore has been deliberate in investing behind this ambition, including more than S$1 billion committed to national AI research and development through 2030, reinforcing the country’s push to scale AI capability with accountability and real-world readiness.

That urgency is visible in the global trendlines shaping enterprise AI. IDC estimates skills shortages could cost the global economy up to $5.5 trillion, while the IMF has 40% of jobs are exposed to AI-driven change and the WEF projects 39% of workers’ skills will shift by 2030.

Security pressure is rising in parallel. Eighty-seven percent of organizations report AI-driven attacks, and generative AI traffic has surged by 890 percent, expanding attack surfaces that many teams are still learning to defend. At the same time, participation gaps remain, with women representing about 22% of AI talent globally.

“Singapore has been deliberate about scaling AI with trust, and that approach depends on practical workforce capability,” said Jay Bavisi, Group President, EC-Council. “This portfolio is designed to help professionals adopt AI responsibly, defend it under real conditions, and govern it with accountability as AI becomes part of everyday work.”

Role-Aligned Certifications

The Enterprise AI Credential Suite is structured to mirror how AI capability is developed in practice. Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) serves as the baseline, building practical AI fluency and responsible usage across roles, and it is supported by EC-Council’s proprietary Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) framework, which defines how AI should be operationalized at scale in real environments.

Adopt: Prepare teams to deploy AI deliberately, with readiness and safeguards

Defend: Secure AI systems against emerging risks, including prompt injection, data poisoning, model exploitation, and AI supply-chain compromise

Govern: Embed accountability, oversight, and risk management into AI systems from the outset
Within this structure, the four new certifications align directly to specific workforce needs across the AI lifecycle.

• Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) builds foundational AI literacy. 
   
• Certified AI Program Manager (CAIPM) equips to translate AI strategy into execution, aligning teams, governance, and delivery to drive measurable ROI and enterprise-scale intelligence.
   
• Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) Builds elite capabilities to test vulnerabilities in LLMs, simulate exploits, and secure AI infrastructure hardening enterprises against emerging threats.
   
• Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics Professional (CRAGE) Focuses on Responsible AI, Governance and Ethics at enterprise scale with NIST/ISO compliance.
   

Alongside the new AI certifications, Certified CISO v4 updates executive cyber leadership education for AI-driven risk environments, strengthening leadership readiness as intelligent systems become part of core business operations and security decision-making.

“Security leaders are now accountable for systems that learn, adapt, and influence outcomes at speed,” Bavisi added. “Certified CISO v4 prepares leaders to manage AI-driven risk with clarity, strengthen governance, and make informed decisions when responsibility is on the line.”

The portfolio also builds on EC-Council’s long-standing work with government and defense organizations, including its existing DoD 8140 baseline certification recognition, as AI security and workforce readiness take on greater national importance.
