Menlo Security, Google To Simplify Zero Trust Access For Enterprises

KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 (Bernama) -- Menlo Security, the pioneer of browser security, has expanded its partnership with Google to simplify Zero Trust Access for enterprises that need to support both managed and unmanaged devices.

This collaboration empowers organisations to provide secure access to enterprise applications for managed devices, bring your own device (BYOD) users, and contractors using their devices, all through their existing Google Chrome Enterprise browser.

Menlo Security Chief Executive Officer, Amir Ben-Efraim in a statement emphasised that the integration provides a seamless Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) experience, offering flexible and secure access for today's hybrid workforce.

“This empowers organisations with easy-to-use controls, works across any device, and deploys quickly to secure access to apps and data. This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in browser security, making work safer and more productive for everyone,” he said.

Meanwhile, Google Chrome Enterprise Product Manager, Kiran Nair highlighted the adaptive nature of this agentless solution, which responds to user and device risks in real time, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure wherever users are working.

By leveraging Menlo Security Secure Application Access (SAA), businesses eliminate the need to deploy multiple heavy clients or replacement browsers while significantly enhancing their security posture.

The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser creates a physical separation between the user’s device and the corporate application, preventing web-borne threats like malware and phishing from ever reaching endpoints.

With Chrome Enterprise's existing security and management complementing Menlo's air-gapped protection, businesses gain a comprehensive, defence-in-depth solution, all while preserving the familiar Chrome experience for users.

Menlo Security SAA, through its integration with Chrome Enterprise, validates endpoint security posture on both managed and unmanaged devices without the need to install any client software. Together, both companies improve upon legacy clientless ZTNA solutions, ensuring corporate data is only accessed through secure, compliant endpoints.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- SWISSto12, a satellite manufacturer, has partnered with Astrum Mobile to deliver the first-ever Satellite-to-Device (S2D) platform in Asia Pacific.

This collaboration involves the development of the NEASTAR-1 satellite, based on SWISSto12’s compact HummingSat platform, which will be operated at geosynchronous position 105E to provide 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) services across the region, according to a statement.

SWISSto12 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder, Emile de Rijk expressed enthusiasm about the project, noting that the collaboration will demonstrate the power and versatility of S2D service through a compact satellite payload designed to enhance global connectivity.

Meanwhile, Astrum Mobile CEO, Sean Wallace said the upcoming launch of NEASTAR-1 has generated significant interest from customers and partners, underscoring the need for ubiquitous service access that aligns with national and commercial priorities.

Astrum Mobile's S2D service will utilise Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) NTN technology to support rich media streaming, data casting, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, mass notifications, and emergency alerts throughout Asia Pacific.

Designed to operate in the L-band with high power and resistance to severe weather disruptions, the service aims to provide uninterrupted connectivity during natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and earthquakes. Standard smartphones and smart devices will be able to access the service without requiring additional hardware.

NEASTAR-1 is the fifth satellite in the HummingSat product line and will be equipped with reconfigurable beams to adapt to evolving market demands.

TOSHIBA BEGINS MASS PRODUCTION OF GATE DRIVER IC FOR AUTOMOTIVE DC MOTORS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has commenced mass production of the "TB9103FTG", a gate driver integrated circuit (IC) designed for automotive brushed DC motors.

According to a statement, this includes latch motors and lock motors for power backdoors and power slide doors, as well as drive motors for power windows and power seats.

With the shift to electrified automotive parts, the demand for electric motors and their drivers has increased, prompting the need for more compact, integrated solutions.

The TB9103FTG offers streamlined gate driver capabilities for brushed DC motors that do not require speed control, enabling a more compact design. It features a built-in charge pump circuit that ensures adequate voltage to power external MOSFETs for motor operation.

Additionally, it incorporates a gate monitoring function to prevent through-current by automatically controlling the output timing of the gate signal to the high-side and low-side external MOSFETs.

The IC is also equipped with a sleep function, reducing power consumption in standby mode. It can be utilised as a one-channel H-bridge or a two-channel half-bridge configuration.

Beyond motor driver applications, it can be integrated with an external MOSFET to replace mechanical relays and switches, contributing to quieter operation and enhanced reliability.

Toshiba reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its range of automotive motor drivers, supporting the electrification and enhanced safety of automotive systems.

GUANGDONG DELEGATION HIGHLIGHTS INDUSTRIAL GROWTH, GBA INTEGRATION AT NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CONGRESS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- The Guangdong Delegation to the third session of the 14th National People's Congress held a plenary meeting on March 6, attracting 267 journalists from 107 domestic and international media outlets.

Led by Provincial Party Secretary Huang Kunming and Governor Wang Weizhong, the delegation addressed key issues on Guangdong’s role in advancing Chinese modernisation and economic development.

Huang in a statement outlined Guangdong's strategy for creating a modern industrial system, emphasising the integration of technological innovation with industrial progress.

The province's robust industrial base spans all 31 major manufacturing sectors, featuring nine trillion Chinese yuan-level industrial clusters, with innovation and infrastructure remaining core drivers, accelerating the commercialisation of research.

Guangdong's trade volume reached nine trillion Chinese yuan (US$1.2 trillion) in 2024, reinforcing its global economic position. Additionally, the province launched the Action Plan for Attracting a Million Talents to South Guangdong, aiming to recruit one million college graduates for employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, bolstering its talent pool. (US$1=RM4.42)

Meanwhile, on regional cooperation, Governor Wang highlighted the economic importance of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), which contributes one-ninth of China’s national gross domestic product (GDP) despite comprising less than one per cent of the country’s land area and housing only six per cent of its population.

In 2024, the GBA’s GDP reached 14.5 trillion Chinese yuan (US$2 trillion), marking a significant increase of 3.7 trillion Chinese yuan (US$511 billion) since 2018.

Hengqin, a key platform for Macao’s economic diversification, saw its GDP soar from 285 million Chinese yuan (US$39 million) in 2009 to 53.8 billion Chinese yuan (US$7.4 billion) by 2024, with high-tech industries now making up 59.4 per cent of its industrial output.

The "Open Day" event provided a platform for Guangdong to showcase its economic progress and global partnerships, reaffirming its role as a global leader through innovation, openness, and sustainable growth.
