Arup experts share trends shaping the future of rail at Asia Pacific Rail
Arup experts gathered at Asia Pacific Rail 2025, exploring how to transform rail across the region.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 May 2025 – Rail leaders of global sustainable development consultancy Arup from across the Asia Pacific region shared their insights into the future of rail at Asia Pacific Rail 2025, ranging from the role of transit-oriented development in funding rail infrastructure, the use of the latest green and smart technology in transit systems, station transformation, and customer journey planning.
Held in Bangkok on 28-29 May 2025, the major rail event in the region was attended by 4,000 people and brought together more than 160 speakers and 200 exhibitors.
As moderator of the keynote panel, TC Chew, Managing Director of APAC at Arup, discussed with leaders of key rail organisations in the region the crucial role of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in making public-private partnerships (PPPs) financially viable and sustainable, the challenges in implementing TOD as well as opportunities for future regional collaboration.

'Governments are under increasing pressure to look for innovative ways to fund rail projects. TOD could be part of the answer. If planned and designed carefully, TOD can help address challenges such as a growing population and demand for housing and employment, while promoting efficient transport options needed for a long-term sustainable future,' said TC.
James Musgrave, APAC Rail Business Leader at Arup, said, 'From the Kowloon Station development in Hong Kong to the Sydney Metro Martin Place integrated station development in Australia, Arup provided strategic planning, design and engineering expertise to maximise the value of investment in transit infrastructure and the positive impact on the community it serves. When we create an impactful TOD, we don't just change how a city moves, we redefine how people live.'
Three leaders from Arup also spoke at Asia Pacific 2025 on major topics in railway development:
Alberto Battois, Malaysia Rail Business Leader, on 'Integrated mobility – what next?';
Carol Lau, Associate Director, on 'New forms of smart and green mass transit systems for medium capacity network – planning and design'; and
Aden Chua, Associate, on 'Digitalising station transformation'.
In addition, Arup sponsored the British Embassy Reception, where Arup's clients and partners connected with rail leaders to exchange ideas and share insights. With over 6,400 people in 28 offices across Asia Pacific and direct access to a larger global network, Arup is committed to supporting clients to deliver transformative railways that enhance lives and connectivity across cities and nations.

CDNetworks' State of WAAP Report Reveals 887.4 Billion Web App and API Attacks in 2024, a 21.4% YoY increase
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 May 2025 - CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, today released its latest State of Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) Report. The report shows that CDNetworks' security platform intercepted 887.4 billion web attacks targeting applications and APIs in 2024, marking a 21.4% increase compared to the previous year. The report also highlights a rise in both the intensity and sophistication of attacks, fueled by the rapid adoption of AI automation tools. In 2024, terabit-level DDoS attacks increased nearly tenfold, with 86% lasting more than 10 minutes. At the same time, CDNetworks' AI-powered defenses blocked 114.7% more malicious bot traffic compared to 2023. These trends point to a more challenging threat landscape, where attacks are easier to launch and increasingly difficult to defend against. Other key findings of the report include: Gaming platforms remained top DDoS targets; e-commerce bot attacks increased by 46.2%. 78% of API attacks occurred post-authentication, revealing a significant security gap. Web exploit attacks surged by 35.01%, with HTTP protocol violations identified as a primary attack vector. AI-powered defense has become essential against evolving threats (e.g., low-and-slow DDoS, AI-driven bot attacks). The State of WAAP Report 2024 also provides strategic recommendations to help organizations strengthen their security posture and prepare for future security challenges. "The landscape of web application and API attacks is shifting dramatically due to increased automation and complexity," said Antony Li, Global Head of Infrastructure at CDNetworks. "Our report uncovers these emerging challenges and highlights why intelligent, AI-powered defenses are no longer optional but essential." Access the Full Report The State of WAAP Report 2024 is a valuable resource for organizations to stay ahead of today's increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape. Download the full report.
