Movate and Anzenna Forge Strategic Partnership to Redefine Insider Risk Governance in the AI Era

The Wire21-07-2025
BENGALURU, India, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Movate, a global leader in digital technology and IT services, today announced a strategic partnership with Anzenna, a next-generation AI-powered insider risk platform. This alliance marks a significant step forward in addressing what is now emerging as the biggest cybersecurity threat of the AI era, insider risk, where human behavior, compromised credentials, and internal misuse represent the weakest link in enterprise defense.
As cyberattacks grow more advanced, insider-driven breaches now make up over 68% of cybersecurity incidents. Addressing this rising threat requires a new governance model. Current tools remain siloed, reactive, and dependent on agent-based setups that slow performance and erode user trust.
Anzenna changes this by using data from existing systems along with Generative AI and LLMs to detect and prioritize insider threats with context-aware precision. It enables autonomous or semi-autonomous responses, all without the need for endpoint agents.
With this partnership, Movate becomes a certified Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) for Anzenna, delivering 24/7 detection, response, and insider risk governance as a fully managed service. Enterprises benefit from reduced operational complexity, faster time to value, and a seamless transition from reactive controls to proactive, AI-enabled governance frameworks.
"This partnership is a strategic accelerator for our AI-first cybersecurity vision," said Sunil Mittal, CEO, Movate. "Insider risk has emerged as one of the most business-critical security challenges of the AI era. By integrating Anzenna's lightweight, agentless platform into our global SOC services, we empower enterprises to neutralize these threats while strengthening governance, agility, and resilience at scale." The timing is crucial. The industry is facing a shortage of cybersecurity talent, with enterprises struggling to scale risk programs fast enough. Movate brings a unique advantage, with a strong, dedicated cybersecurity practice, supported by thousands of certified professionals across 20 global delivery centers.
"We're witnessing an inflection point in cybersecurity where enterprises need simplicity, scale, and intelligence, not more tools," said Ganesh Krishnan, CEO, Anzenna. "Through this partnership, our platform becomes a turnkey service, backed by Movate's cybersecurity depth and operational rigor. Together, we're enabling organizations to operationalize trust and take meaningful action in real time, not just gather alerts." In a recent deployment at a large educational institution, Anzenna's platform accelerated threat resolution by 40%, eliminated 228 risky applications via automated remediation, and secured a 20% increase in cybersecurity budget justification without expanding headcount.
The combination of Anzenna's AI-native capabilities and Movate's service delivery muscle offers a rare blueprint for reducing risk without increasing friction - exactly what today's boardrooms and CISOs are demanding. Together, Movate and Anzenna are delivering a first-of-its-kind Insider Risk Remediation as a Service model tailored to how modern enterprises consume security: integrated, contextual, and outcome-driven.

Nvidia says no 'backdoors' in chips as China questions security

Nvidia chips do not contain "backdoors" allowing remote access, the U.S. tech giant has said, after Beijing summoned company representatives to discuss "serious security issues". The California-based company is a world-leading producer of AI semiconductors, and this month became the first company to hit $4 trillion in market value. But it has become entangled in trade tensions between China and the United States, and Washington effectively restricts which chips Nvidia can export to China on national security grounds. "Cybersecurity is critically important to us. Nvidia does not have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them," Nvidia said in a statement Thursday. A key issue has been Chinese access to the "H20": a less powerful version of Nvidia's AI processing units that the company developed specifically for export to China. Nvidia said this month it would resume H20 sales to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing curbs that had halted exports. But the tech giant still faces obstacles. U.S. lawmakers have proposed plans to require Nvidia and other manufacturers of advanced AI chips to include built-in location tracking capabilities. Beijing's top internet regulator said Thursday it had summoned Nvidia representatives to discuss recently discovered "serious security issues" involving the H20. The Cyberspace Administration of China said it had asked Nvidia to "explain the security risks of vulnerabilities and backdoors in its H20 chips sold to China and submit relevant supporting materials". China is aiming to reduce reliance on foreign tech by promoting Huawei's domestically developed 910C chip as an alternative to the H20, said Jost Wubbeke of the Sinolytics consultancy. "From that perspective, the U.S. decision to allow renewed exports of the H20 to China could be seen as counterproductive, as it might tempt Chinese hyperscalers to revert to the H20, potentially undermining momentum behind the 910C and other domestic alternatives," he said. Other hurdles to Nvidia's operations in China are the sputtering economy, beset by a years-long property sector crisis, and heightened trade headwinds under U.S. President Donald Trump. CEO Jensen Huang said during a visit to Beijing this month that the company remained committed to serving local customers, adding that he had been assured during talks with top Chinese officials that the country was "open and stable".

Apple to boost AI spending, Tim Cook says difficult to see a world where iPhone is not living in it

There is no doubt that Apple is officially late to the AI party. However, the company still has high hopes for its devices. This is not just a trend we observed, but CEO Tim Cook has recently told investors that Apple is throwing its full weight behind artificial intelligence as it seeks to catch up with rivals in the race to develop nextgeneration AI technologies. Speaking on the company's thirdquarter earnings call, he described AI as transformative and confirmed that Apple was reallocating resources and staff to strengthen its see AI as one of the most profound technologies of our lifetime. We are embedding it across our devices and platforms and across the company. We are also significantly growing our investments,' Cook said. 'Apple has always been about taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use and accessible for everyone, and that's at the heart of our AI strategy,' he explained that Apple has been moving more people onto AI projects. 'We have a great, great team and we're putting all of our energy behind it,' he said. The company said its growing AI ambitions are also visible in its capital expenditure. Spending is trending higher yeartodate, although Apple still leans on thirdparty partners for some infrastructure, limiting the overall rise in its CapEx an interview with CNBC ahead of the earnings release, Apple disclosed that mergers and acquisitions form part of this accelerated push. Cook said the company had already completed seven acquisitions in 2025, describing them as modest in size but significant strategically. 'None was huge,' he said, adding during the call that Apple was 'making acquisitions at the rate of one every several weeks.'The company has faced criticism for being slow to respond to the current AI wave. Some of its flagship announcements, such as a revamped AIpowered Siri, have failed to ship on time. Reports have even suggested that a demo of the new Siri was far from Cook defended the company's approach, insisting that Apple is not interested in speed for its own sake. 'Rushing out the wrong features or the wrong products just to be first would be a mistake,' the company has repeatedly said. 'That's especially true if those products don't work as promised.'Apple says it has already launched more than 20 new AIpowered capabilities under its 'Apple Intelligence' branding. These include Visual Intelligence features, a Writing assistant, and a Cleanup tool. Later this year, the company expects to roll out live translation and an AI workout companion. However, the muchanticipated update to Siri has been pushed back to 2026. Cook said Apple was 'making good progress' on the the call, Cook was asked about the possibility that future hardware, such as the AI glasses recently touted by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, could threaten the dominance of the iPhone.'It's difficult to see a world where iPhones aren't living in it,' Cook replied. 'That doesn't mean that we are not thinking about other things, as well, but I think that the [AI] devices are likely to be complementary devices, not substitutions.'Pressed on which areas of AI technology Apple sees as commoditised, Cook declined to give specifics, saying: 'That would give away part of our strategy.'While the AI future for Apple devices is still under wraps, this year we are excited to see how the rumoured iPhone 17 Air will turn out. It is speculated to be the thinnest iPhone ever in the Apple-verse. The iPhone 17 series is expected to debut next month.- Ends

‘To be seen in office is to survive': Layoff-weary Bengaluru techies ditch WFH, brave traffic

Representative Image BENGALURU: As fears of AI-driven layoffs grip the tech industry, a new pattern has emerged on the city's already clogged Outer Ring Road (ORR): Wednesday is now the worst day to commute. In what officials call a clear shift in behaviour, the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) say vehicle entries into 26 tech parks on ORR spiked by 20-45% this June compared to the same period last year. And Wednesday stands out — with 1.2 lakh vehicles logged, up from 82,168 in June 2024. The rising midweek rush, say police, appears to stem from a growing belief among tech workers that being visible in office improves job security amid a wave of AI-triggered downsizing.

'These days, optics matter. Being seen at your desk might ensure job security.' The trend is fuelling severe congestion along tech corridors like ORR (Silk Board to KR Pura), Sarjapur Road, and roads leading to Electronics City. Sensing a growing crisis, newly-appointed joint commissioner (traffic) Karthik Reddy has suggested a midweek work-from-home policy for tech companies to curb the surge. 'Peak traffic is observed between 9am and 10am on all weekdays, but Wednesday stands out because of increased office attendance by IT employees. We've recommended that tech firms either allow work-from-home every Wednesday or shift office timings to start by 7.30am and end earlier in the day,' Reddy told TOI . But the traffic chaos has reignited frustration about the city's inadequate infrastructure — something commuters say needs urgent fixing, beyond temporary work-from-home measures. 'Work-from-home for a single day is only a temporary band-aid,' said Suma Santosh, a data analyst who works in Bellandur. 'The deeper problem lies in poor pedestrian infrastructure. I live barely 2.5km from my office, but I'm forced to take my two-wheeler because walking is unsafe and inconvenient. If proper footpaths and crossings existed, at least 25% of two-wheeler traffic could be cut down.' Others point to the lack of coordination among civic agencies. 'From Metro construction to BWSSB's pipeline works to road widening, everything is happening at the same time,' said Vikram Naik, a project lead in Marathahalli. 'There's no synchronisation between agencies. This chaos is what's fuelling peak-hour gridlocks.' A BBMP official who was part of the recent coordination meeting acknowledged that concurrent infrastructure works have worsened the situation. 'We're working with BMRCL and BWSSB to ensure better coordination in project planning. We're also exploring the feasibility of creating parallel service roads or alternative routes to divert traffic.' Some companies are willing to explore flexible options, but stress the need for careful rollout. 'Work-from-home arrangement on Wednesdays is doable but optional,' said Sridhar M, an HR executive at a major tech firm. 'Some roles demand physical presence. We're open to encouraging early shift starts, and promoting carpooling and BMTC usage among our employees.' As bottlenecks intensify across Bellandur, Marathahalli, Kadubeesanahalli and Devarabisanahalli, the coming weeks could prove crucial in determining whether better coordination and corporate cooperation can untangle the city's tech traffic mess.
