Our partners get guaranteed revenue with zero capex, and we handle the rest.'

UK Retailers React to Tariff Uncertainty With 76% of Exporters Diversifying Beyond the US Market, New Study Finds
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New research from ESW and Retail Economics reveals that 76% of UK exporters are now actively diversifying beyond the US, historically the UK's largest non-EU retail market. Larger UK retailers are radically re-drawing their global growth playbooks as protectionist trade policies upend decades-old export patterns. However, 71% of small UK retailers admit they have no formal plan for sudden trade-policy shocks, a stark operational gap that could hit margins overnight. The report, ' Rethinking Reach: How UK Retailers Are Turning Trade Pressure into Global Advantage,' highlights the factors driving the urgency of this pivotal moment for British retail. The US's new baseline 10% tariff in 2025 is set to increase average duties on UK non-food exports from 2.3% to 17.2%, forcing retailers to reevaluate long-held assumptions about US viability. More than half of UK exporters would find trade to the US commercially unviable if tariffs exceed 22%. 'UK retailers are undergoing a seismic shift in their export strategies,' said Jon Sheard, VP of Northern Europe at ESW. 'Retailers can no longer be overly reliant on a single trade corridor and are pivoting to new regions, including the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, where we are seeing exponential growth.' According to the report, exports to the Middle East and North Africa surged 34% between 2021 and 2024, with the UAE now the fastest-growing UK export market outside the EU. Other growth regions include Non-EU Western Europe (+15%) and Asia-Pacific (+6%). 'Tariff volatility is reshaping the global retail landscape,' said Richard Lim, CEO of Retail Economics. 'Retailers can no longer rely solely on traditional export markets like the US. Instead, they're evaluating new trade routes and pivoting toward high-growth regions to diversify risk and capture new demand. Now is the time for exporters to plan and act. Future success will depend on the ability to adapt, localise, and seize emerging trade opportunities.' The report also finds: 77% of retailers view global brand-building as a strategic imperative. Two-thirds are willing to sacrifice profit margin for export growth. The biggest barriers to international expansion include logistics costs, operational complexity, and regulatory uncertainty. UK retailers retain a distinctive advantage, with 40% of respondents noting that the 'Made in UK' label delivers a premium perception overseas due to the country's elevated safety and regulatory standards. Many retailers are increasingly turning to strategic partners that offer fast turnkey market entry to help mitigate the challenges new market expansion presents. This can include services such as handling payments, taxes, and logistics; local cultural positioning and trust-building; targeted demand generation and localisation; and expertise in warehousing, shipping, and customs. Methodology Research was undertaken by Retail Economics in Q2 2025. This includes surveys of 200 businesses across UK non-food retail, focused on exporters, and economic modelling – drawing on annual national statistics and proprietary data to classify trade flows by retail category, region and country.

2025 CrowdStrike Threat Hunting Report: Adversaries Weaponize and Target AI at Scale
AUSTIN, Texas & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Black Hat USA 2025-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today released the 2025 Threat Hunting Report, highlighting a new phase in modern cyberattacks: adversaries are weaponizing GenAI to scale operations and accelerate attacks – and increasingly targeting the autonomous AI agents reshaping enterprise operations. The report reveals how threat actors are targeting tools used to build AI agents – gaining access, stealing credentials, and deploying malware – a clear sign that autonomous systems and machine identities have become a core part of the enterprise attack surface. CrowdStrike Threat Hunting Report Highlights Based on frontline intelligence from CrowdStrike's elite threat hunters and intelligence analysts tracking more than 265 named adversaries, the report reveals: Adversaries Weaponize AI at Scale: DPRK-nexus adversary FAMOUS CHOLLIMA used GenAI to automate every phase of its insider attack program. From building fake resumes and conducting deepfake interviews to completing technical tasks under false identities – AI-powered adversary tradecraft is transforming traditional insider threats into scalable, persistent operations. Russia-nexus adversary EMBER BEAR used GenAI to amplify pro-Russia narratives and Iran-nexus adversary CHARMING KITTEN deployed LLM-crafted phishing lures targeting U.S. and EU entities. Agentic AI Is the New Attack Surface: CrowdStrike observed multiple threat actors exploiting vulnerabilities in tools used to build AI agents, gaining unauthenticated access, establishing persistence, harvesting credentials, and deploying malware and ransomware. These attacks demonstrate how the agentic AI revolution is reshaping the enterprise attack surface – turning autonomous workflows and non-human identities into the next frontier of adversary exploitation. GenAI-built Malware Becomes Reality: Lower-tier eCrime and hacktivist actors are abusing AI to generate scripts, solve technical problems, and build malware – automating tasks that once required advanced expertise. Funklocker and SparkCat are early proof points that GenAI-built malware is no longer theoretical, it's already operational. SCATTERED SPIDER Accelerates Identity-Based, Cross-Domain Attacks: The group resurged in 2025 with faster and more aggressive tradecraft – leveraging vishing and help desk impersonation to reset credentials, bypass MFA, and move laterally across SaaS and cloud environments. In one incident, the group moved from initial access to encryption by deploying ransomware in under 24 hours. China-nexus Adversaries Drive Continued Surge in Cloud Attacks: Cloud intrusions rose 136%, with China-linked adversaries responsible for 40% of increased activity, as GENESIS PANDA and MURKY PANDA evaded detection through cloud misconfigurations and trusted access. 'The AI era has redefined how businesses operate, and how adversaries attack. We're seeing threat actors use GenAI to scale social engineering, accelerate operations, and lower the barrier to entry for hands-on-keyboard intrusions,' said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. 'At the same time, adversaries are targeting the very AI systems organizations are deploying. Every AI agent is a superhuman identity: autonomous, fast, and deeply integrated, making them high-value targets. Adversaries are treating these agents like infrastructure, attacking them the same way they target SaaS platforms, cloud consoles, and privileged accounts. Securing the AI that powers business is where the cyber battleground is evolving.' Additional Resources: Download the 2025 CrowdStrike Threat Hunting Report.

Legatum on Track for Initial Commitments of Over $US30 Million for New Collaborative Fund to Transform Crisis Relief
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Legatum, the private investment group with a twenty-year track record in collaborative philanthropy and humanitarian action, has today announced it is on track to secure over $US30 million in initial commitments for its latest philanthropic endeavour — the Resilio Fund, a pioneering initiative designed to transform crisis response by putting resources and decision-making into the hands of the affected communities. The Resilio Fund, which is the fourth collaborative fund launched by Legatum, follows a four-year pilot across seven countries, in which over 1000 micro-grants were distributed to communities by local NGOs, reaching more than 500,000 people. These grants enabled communities to rapidly restore essential services and build resilience against future shocks. From mending wells and clearing roads to distributing seeds and tools, the model has demonstrated speed, cost-efficiency, and, critically, has respected the dignity and agency of those affected. This announcement marks a significant milestone in the evolution of humanitarian funding models, with Legatum committing $10 million as Founding Donor, and three leading philanthropic institutions confirmed as Anchor Donors: the Vitol Foundation, UBS Optimus Foundation, and the Irene M Staehelin Foundation, with more to be announced shortly. Guy Cave, President of the Legatum Foundation, said, 'After years of discussion in the sector about shifting power to communities, we believe it's past time to act. The Resilio Fund embodies our conviction that those closest to crises are best placed to lead the response. We are proud to stand with a coalition of visionary donors who are backing this transformative approach.' The Fund's innovative model is based on the principle of survivor-and community-led crisis response. Grants are channelled to local NGOs, which in turn issue trust-based micro-grants to grassroots community groups. These groups, already taking action to help their community, use the funds flexibly to meet urgent needs — from purchasing emergency food and water to repairing vital infrastructure and securing livelihoods through agriculture and trade. Unlike much international, top-down humanitarian funding, which can be hampered by bureaucracy and external control, Resilio's approach champions trust, flexibility, and proximity. It acknowledges the capacity and courage of communities to respond to their own needs and supports them with the resources to do so effectively. Tom Hall, Global Head of Social Impact and Philanthropy and CEO, UBS Optimus Foundation Network, said, 'We are proud to be an anchor partner in the Resilio Fund, deepening our collaboration with Legatum. This partnership reinforces our commitment to community resilience by empowering local organisations and the communities they support to lead crisis response and recovery – a strategy that has proven effective through our emergency response portfolio.' Federico Motka, Head of Emergencies and Humanitarian Portfolio, Vitol Foundation, added, 'The Resilio Fund is setting a new benchmark for humanitarian response by putting local communities at the heart of crisis relief. By empowering hyper-local groups - those who are first to respond and best understand their own needs - Resilio will ensure aid is fast, effective, and rooted in dignity and agency. This approach not only delivers immediate support where it's needed most, but also strengthens the long-term resilience of communities, transforming the way the world responds to crises. At this critical time of the humanitarian reset the Resilio Fund shows us the way forward, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.' Legatum confirmed that an inaugural CEO of the Resilio Fund will be announced in the coming days, signalling the next phase of development for the initiative. Discussions are also underway with additional prospective donors, with further announcements expected later this year. For more information about the Resilio Fund, or to enquire about becoming a donor, please visit About Legatum Legatum is an investment partnership that invests its capital and ideas in initiatives it believes will shape a better future. Since 2006, Legatum has supported a range of philanthropic initiatives, and founded three previous collaborative Funds: The END Fund formed to control and eliminate the five most common neglected tropical diseases by 2030. To date the Fund has directly impacted over 480 million lives. The Luminos Fund gives children excluded from school due to poverty, conflict or discrimination, a second chance at mainstream education. To date, it has supported more than 377,000 children to return to school. The Freedom Fund, co-founded with Walk Free Foundation and Humanity United, identifies and invests in the most effective community-led efforts to eradicate modern slavery. In the last nine years, the fund has helped liberate more than 30,000 people from slavery. For more information visit
