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)

As Part of Its Request for Offer for a Low-Cost Male UAV, DGA (French Defense Procurement Agency) Has Notified FLY-R of Its First Contract Based on the R2-600 Rhomboid UAV
LE BOURGET, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FLY-R, the French company specializing in the design and construction of rhomboid-wing UAVs, has been notified of a contract within the framework of a request for offer launched by DGA to develop the largest model of the FLY-R range, the R2-600. Thanks to its specific aerodynamics, the rhomboid wing, a type of shape similar to a lozenge, with no vertical surface, allows speed ranges and maneuverability far superior to other sail shapes. For similar wingspan, a rhomboid-wing aircraft can double the performance in terms of speed, flight time and payload carried. Nevertheless, no system based on rhomboid wing could be operationally developed because of its complexity. But progress recently realized in the fields of aerodynamics, computational code, new materials, equipment and propulsion, have allowed the success of FLY-R innovative approach. FLY-R is developing a complete range of UAVs with wingspans of 1.20 m, 1.50 m, 2.40 m and 6.00 m. The R2-600, the object of DGA's request for offer, is a hybrid-powered medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 1,700 kg, capable of flying up to 45,000 feet (around 15,000 meters) for missions of more than 20 hours. The R2-600 is particularly well-suited to military missions: surveillance of vast areas, operations in hostile territory, offensive missions thanks to its weapons-carrying capacity, and the possibility of remote launch from a deployable infrastructure, while maintaining a very moderate cost to facilitate mass deployment. According to the terms of this request for offer, FLY-R must demonstrate the R2-600's operational capabilities in flight before the end of 2026. The fact that FLY-R has been selected for this request for offer illustrates the company's success in the design and development of these new types of aircraft, thanks to high-quality R&D and exemplary cooperation with ONERA (French National Aeronautical Laboratory) and the Duqueine group, which specializes in the design and manufacture of parts and sub-assemblies in high-performance composite materials, notably for the aeronautics sector. As part of its international development strategy, FLY-R is in discussions with defense contractors in the European Union and Middle East countries. « The current geostrategic context shows that drones have become essential components of military operations. FLY-R has been working for several years on rhomboid-wing UAVs, which are complex to build. The expertise of our teams has enabled us to take a major technological step forward by developing a complete range of these unmanned vehicles, including the R2-600 which, if it meets the requirements of the request for offer, will complete the French air arsenal with an easy-to-use and costeffective machine. » Laurent COLLET-BILLON, CEO of FLY-R « Being selected for this request for offer is a source of pride for our teams, and the achievement of years of research, development and testing. We would like to thank DGA for its confidence, as well as ONERA and the Duqueine Group for the quality of our partnership. » Rémi ALBERT, Deputy CEO of FLY-R « The Duqueine Group is delighted to contribute to the manufacture of the first large-scale rhomboid UAV designed by FLY-R, which represents a remarkable innovation for aeronautics and MALE missions in particular. » Gilles DUQUEINE, President of the Duqueine Group « FLY-R has proven expertise in rhomboid wing systems and a high degree of maturity in complex aeronautical systems. Rhomboid wing systems have demonstrated excellent aerodynamic and structural performance, with unique flying qualities and the ability to perform original maneuvers. The implementation of the rhomboid configuration in a MALE context seems to us to be highly relevant. » Franck LEFÈVRE, General Technical Director of ONERA FLY-R is chaired by Éric Thieulin, and its executive committee includes Laurent Collet-Billon, CEO Strategy & Development; Rémi Albert, Deputy CEO Operations & Business; François Varigas, CTO. About FLY-R FLY-R has been Founded in 2013 by François Varigas and Rémi Albert, civil and military engineers. The company has developed a full range of remarkably efficient rhomboid drones from 1.20 to 6.00 meters wingspan, used in civil (surveillance of industrial complexes, medical assistance, combating illegal trafficking...) and military applications (target detection, air-to-ground strikes, operations in hostile territory, air defense, air combat...). Since 2019, FLY-R has forged an in-depth partnership with the Office national d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA). In 2023, FLY-R was awarded the 1st Innovation Prize by the French Ministry of Defense and the Special Forces at SOFINS, the Special Forces Defense and Armament Exhibition,
