W Energy Brings Advanced AI Energy Forecasting Back to Australia in Partnership with Simble

Malay Mail2 days ago
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 14 August 2025 - Australian clean energy innovation takes a leap forward as W Energy, a new energy technology company, teams up with long-established ASX-listed Simble Solutions (ASX: SIS) to deploy AI-driven energy forecasting and management solutions nationwide. Simble has also formally engaged Yongxin Sun, W Energy's founder and former AI Clean Energy GLOBAL lead, to provide technical support and strategic guidance. Mr. Sun combines expertise in finance, large-scale energy project modelling, and applied AI technology.W Energy's AI forecasting platform originated in Australia to enhance solar and battery performance predictions while integrating financial modelling for investors and operators. Due to limited local data early on, the system was trialed in Southeast Asia across Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. These deployments delivered diverse climate and grid datasets, mature near real-time forecasting capabilities, and proven commercial benefits such as reduced investment risk and optimized storage dispatch.Now commercially mature, W Energy and Simble will begin rolling out projects in New South Wales, expanding to Queensland and Victoria. The partnership leverages W Energy's predictive AI for generation, demand, and pricing optimization alongside Simble's established market presence and energy monitoring tools. Together, they will serve commercial buildings, industrial precincts, and regional grid networks, supporting virtual power plants, dynamic pricing response, and grid resilience.This collaboration aligns with Australia's energy transition goals, using AI to boost renewable penetration and grid flexibility. The platform integrates real-time IoT sensor data with historical weather and market information, applies adaptive algorithms for storage dispatch, and incorporates financial scenario modelling to assess project returns under varying conditions—all secured to comply with Australian data standards.Key benefits include higher forecasting accuracy across diverse weather conditions, direct integration of financial metrics into operational decisions, and scalability from small commercial sites to utility-scale assets. Potential applications range from energy cost reductions for commercial customers to enhanced stability in high-renewable regions.W Energy and Simble plan initial deployments in NSW commercial and industrial sites while collaborating with universities and research institutions to refine the AI platform using local data, further improving its accuracy, adaptability, and security.Hashtag: #WEnergy

KKFD targets 50% digital forensics lab accreditation in five years

KOTA TINGGI: The Digital Forensics Workgroup (KKFD) plans to have 50% of its member agencies' digital forensics laboratories accredited by the Department of Standards Malaysia (DSM) within five years. Currently, only six out of 16 KKFD agencies hold the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. Accredited agencies include the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), and CyberSecurity Malaysia. KKFD chairman Wan Zulkifli Wan Jusoh stressed that accreditation ensures forensic labs meet international operational and quality standards. 'Obtaining this recognition is challenging—MACC took three years—but we aim for half of KKFD agencies to achieve it in five years,' he said during a press conference after the 2025 KKFD Law Enforcement Agency meeting. The two-day meeting involved 100 members from 16 agencies discussing cybercrime challenges and AI's role in digital investigations. Wan Zulkifli highlighted the meeting as proof of Malaysia's commitment to advancing digital forensics for combating cybercrime. KKFD, established in 2015, serves as a knowledge-sharing platform for digital investigation best practices. Post-meeting, KKFD will conduct lab visits to improve facilities and align operations with global standards. Simulated court courses and prosecutor dialogues will also be held to strengthen forensic teams' legal expertise. CyberSecurity Malaysia will compile approved forensic lab SOPs as official references for member agencies. Minimum SOP guidelines will be developed to standardise new labs and maintain national consistency. - Bernama

Trend Micro Launches Agentic SIEM to Herald New Era of Proactive Security

AI-based offering will help make alert overload a thing of the past for SecOps teams 900+ data sources supported since launch on August 1 to improve visibility, context and threat detection Three-day onboarding for new log types—with reduction to three hours by 2026—to reduce the risk of the unknown in enterprise environments Trend's proven XDR capabilities, with six native security sensors across endpoint, cloud, email, networks, servers, and identity. Agentic SIEM brings in third-party telemetry to provide a full view of the environment. Up to seven years of archival data retention and two years of analytic retention for enhanced detection, threat hunting, and compliance support. HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 August 2025 - Trend Micro Incorporated TSE: 4704 ), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced new agentic AI technology designed to solve the traditional pain points associated with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). When combined with Trend's digital twin capabilities it will help to transform security operations by proactively mitigating security risks."As the cybersecurity stack increasingly becomes AI driven, the security data layer must evolve to support data-hungry agentic capabilities, including infusing agentic AI into core SIEM functions. Trend Vision One Agentic SIEM enters the SIEM market at a pivotal time, leveraging Agentic AI from the ground up to drive speed, performance, and a new level of risk-driven, contextual insights to rapidly mitigate cyber threat activity."SIEM technology has been around for decades, but users face longstanding issues including cost, complexity, alert overload, and passive data lakes. In addition, traditional SIEMs rely on manual configuration and static parsers, which can't keep up with the pace or variety of modern data sources. Trend's Agentic SIEM was built from the ground up to address these challenges, leveraging the next generation of AI technology to proactively think, learn, and act. Acting independently, it cuts through alert noise, reducing workloads for overburdened security teams. What used to take weeks of setup is now automated by Agentic AI — it learns, maps, and optimizes data as it using Trend's agentic SIEM will improve their security and efficiency with:"Agentic SIEM is a major stepping stone to our long-term vision for full, AI-driven SecOps. It's a future in which security teams will have more time to work on strategic tasks, safe in the knowledge that our agentic AI has their backs. With this launch, Trend is once again laying down a marker for cybersecurity innovation and global market leadership."Agentic SIEM has the potential to supercharge SIEM across a variety of use cases:Replaces manual log and alert monitoring with autonomous data analysis, anomaly detection and response—reducing time to detect and mitigate extended data retention with the ability to search archival logs—meeting audit and regulatory requirements with manual, time-consuming and error-prone investigations with automated data correlation from multiple sources, to accelerate the process and enhance potential to combine Agentic SIEM with Trend's latest digital twin technology is a revolutionary opportunity for customers. Doing so enables proactive mitigation of security risks impacting these virtual models—surfacing intelligence to enhance resilience, compliance, and competitive advantages.
