Mitsubishi Electric Develops Edge-device Language Model for Domain-specific Manufacturing
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has developed a language model tailored for manufacturing processes operating on edge devices. The Maisart ® -branded AI technology has been pre-trained with data from Mitsubishi Electric's internal operations, enabling it to support a wide range of applications in specific manufacturing domains. In addition, the model leverages a uniquely developed data-augmentation technique to generate responses optimized for user-specific applications. The widespread adoption of generative AI is accelerating the use of large language models (LLMs). However, the significant computational and energy costs associated with LLMs are a growing concern. Additionally, there is increasing demand for generative AI solutions that can operate in on-premises environments due to data privacy and confidential information management requirements. In response, Mitsubishi Electric has developed a domain-specific language model by training a publicly available Japanese base model with the company's proprietary data from its own business domains, including factory automation (FA). Using training data generated through the company's original augmentation techniques enabled effective, task-specific fine-tuning. The resulting model is compact enough to run on limited hardware resources, making it suitable for environments with constrained computing capabilities such as edge devices, as well as for on-premises operations such as call centers that handle sensitive customer information.

Sangfor Technologies Unveils Sangfor Athena: A Bold New Brand for Its Cybersecurity Business
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sangfor Technologies, a leading global provider of cybersecurity and cloud computing solutions, proudly announces the launch of Sangfor Athena, the new brand identity for its cybersecurity business. This new brand brings together Sangfor's advanced security technologies under one unified name, marking a strategic evolution in its commitment to delivering intelligent, integrated, and proactive cyber defense. Sangfor Athena blends cutting-edge AI with powerful product synergy, empowering organizations to take a proactive stance against today's sophisticated cyber threats. The Sangfor Athena brand was first introduced through a soft launch during the recent Sangfor International Roadshows, where it was exclusively previewed to local audiences of customers and partners in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, the Philippines, Italy, Türkiye, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Initial feedback showed strong alignment with market needs and confirmed the demand for a more AI-driven, solution-focused approach to cybersecurity. Sangfor Athena: Outsmart Cyber Threats with SynergyAI Inspired by Athena—the symbol of wisdom and warfare in Greek mythology—Sangfor Athena embodies strategic security and powerful protection. Just as Athena wielded wisdom and weaponry in perfect harmony, Sangfor Athena unites cutting-edge AI with advanced security tools to create an intelligent and cohesive security framework. At the heart of Sangfor Athena is SynergyAI —Sangfor's vision of AI-driven and integrated cybersecurity. Synergy represents the powerful collaboration between cloud-based and on-premises infrastructures, between solutions and services, and between security and cloud computing. By infusing AI across this ecosystem, SynergyAI delivers a streamlined and end-to-end security infrastructure that not only enhances threat detection and response but also reduces complexity. It empowers organizations to shift from a reactive stance to a proactive one—anticipating, adapting to, and outsmarting evolving cyber threats with speed and precision. Athena personifies this concept through her six symbolic elements: Shield: Impenetrable defenses against advanced cyber threats Spear: Fast, precise, and proactive response to active attacks Helmet: Robust protection for critical systems and sensitive data Owl: Deep visibility and insight into security events Wisdom & Strategy: Transforming fragmented tools into an intelligent and unified security framework Olive Tree: Delivering peace of mind so organizations can thrive securely Basis for the New Brand The new brand marks more than a name change; it's a reorganization of Sangfor's security portfolio to enhance product clarity, usability, and recognition. In the past, Sangfor's cybersecurity offerings were spread across multiple individually named products, including Network Secure, Endpoint Secure, and Cyber Command. As the product portfolio expanded, it became increasingly difficult for customers to remember and understand how these individual products address their needs. Today's cybersecurity challenges are complex and multidimensional, and point solutions alone are no longer enough. What organizations need are integrated solutions—combinations of technologies that work seamlessly together to fully resolve their security challenges. 'Our mission has always been to Make Your Digital Transformation Simpler and Secure,' said Darren Du, Vice President of Sangfor International Market. 'We recognize that 'simpler' means more than easy-to-use products and streamlined operations; it also means having a brand that's memorable and offerings that align with customer needs. Sangfor Athena brings clarity and confidence to our customers as they navigate increasingly complex cybersecurity landscapes.' The Three Pillars of Sangfor Athena Under the Sangfor Athena brand, cybersecurity offerings will now be organized into three series: 1. Sangfor Athena Foundation Main Offerings: Athena NGFW (Next Generation Firewall), Athena EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform), Athena SWG (Secure Web Gateway), and Athena NDR (Network Detection and Response) Focus: Network and endpoint security, and core components of Sangfor's XDR and SASE platforms. 2. Sangfor Athena Security Operations Main Offerings: Athena XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and Athena MDR (Managed Detection and Response), both enhanced with Sangfor Security GPT Focus: Building full-fledged, AI-driven security operations by addressing the needs across people, technology, and processes. Notably, Sangfor was recently honored with the Frost & Sullivan 2025 APAC XDR Customer Value Leadership Recognition, demonstrating its ability to meet market demands and deliver superior customer outcomes. Download your complimentary copy of the Frost & Sullivan report to discover why Sangfor Athena XDR leads the way in shaping the future of the XDR market in APAC and beyond. 3. Sangfor Athena Cloud Security Main Offerings: Athena SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) Focus: Providing secure and reliable access to cloud services, SaaS applications, data centers, and the internet across all business locations and remote users. Together, these three pillars provide comprehensive protection across the entire organization—from core to edge and on-premises to cloud—addressing today's most pressing security challenges: defending against sophisticated attacks, managing complex security operations, and securing hybrid and cloud-first environments. Transform Your Security Strategy with Sangfor Athena The Sangfor Athena brand is a reflection of Sangfor's enduring mission: To Make Your Digital Transformation Simpler and Secure. By unifying its cybersecurity portfolio under one powerful, intuitive brand, Sangfor empowers organizations to better understand, implement, and optimize their security strategies.

Metropolitan Earns Excellent Credit Ratings From Top Rating Agencies
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citing strong financial policies and prudent planning in a challenging water environment, the nation's top rating agencies have again assigned the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California excellent credit ratings. In recent weeks, S&P reaffirmed Metropolitan's AAA/stable rating and Moody's reaffirmed an Aa1/stable rating for the recent sale of $132 million series 2025A water revenue refunding bonds on its senior lien. In addition, last week Metropolitan earned an AA+/stable rating from Fitch and AA+/stable rating from S&P for the upcoming proposed sale of $173 million in bonds that have a subordinate lien on Metropolitan revenues. Those bonds will help fund the design and construction of the High Desert Water Bank Program being developed in partnership between Metropolitan and the Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency. 'It's gratifying to see Metropolitan receive high credit ratings, amid difficult choices about our water and financial future,' said Metropolitan board Chair Adán Ortega, Jr. 'We will continue to be fiscally responsible as we adapt our water supply to the challenges brought by climate change. Having excellent credit ratings will help reduce the cost of essential investments.' All three rating agencies noted that budget and business model refinements adopted in recent years have made Metropolitan more financially stable. While Metropolitan faces increased climate risks, such as drought and wildfires, S&P cited the modeling of various supply and demand scenarios in Metropolitan's recently adopted Climate Adaptation Master Plan for Water, as well as strong emergency planning, as key factors that will reduce vulnerabilities. The CAMP4Water implementation plan will help Metropolitan evaluate its capital investments and support long-term water affordability and reliability. 'Metropolitan is prioritizing planning and climate adaptation processes, knowing that climate change will affect our water supplies, infrastructure, operations and financial sustainability,' said John Bednarski, Metropolitan's assistant general manager of water resources and technical services. 'The CAMP4Water planning process will allow us to manage risk and make better decisions for our customers and our investors.'
