Sangfor Technologies Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Asia-Pacific Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition in Cybersecurity Services
SAN ANTONIO, July 22, 2025 /CNW/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Sangfor Technologies has received the 2025 Asia-Pacific Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition in the cybersecurity services industry for its outstanding achievements in strategy development and execution. This recognition highlights Sangfor's ability to scale comprehensive, customer-first security services while maintaining a strong innovation pipeline tailored to the dynamic cybersecurity demands of APAC.
Sangfor Technologies demonstrates its capability to align strategic priorities with regional threat landscapes and execute its managed detection and response (MDR) service with measurable impact. "At the core of Sangfor's value proposition is its ability to consolidate cybersecurity service delivery into a cohesive, self-sustaining ecosystem. The company consistently delivers a well-calibrated balance between operational efficiency and service performance for its clients," said Vivien Pua, senior industry analyst for security at Frost & Sullivan.
Guided by a vision to simplify and improve digital transformation security, Sangfor Technologies has demonstrated strong strategic agility in the managed security services space. The company's MDR platform, Athena MDR, integrates network and endpoint telemetry with proprietary extended detection and response (XDR) and GenAI-powered engines. This ensures clients benefit from unmatched visibility and fast response across hybrid IT environments, addressing one of APAC's most critical cybersecurity challenges: real-time situational awareness amid a growing talent shortage.
Innovation is foundational to Sangfor's service architecture. By leveraging a proprietary technology stack and a consultative service delivery model, Sangfor ensures high-quality, scalable cybersecurity operations for organizations of all sizes.
"We're honored to receive the Frost & Sullivan Strategy Leadership Recognition in Cybersecurity Services for Sangfor Athena MDR," said Darren Du, Vice President of Sangfor International Market. "Athena MDR, together with Athena XDR, forms the backbone of our Security Operations Series. In today's complex threat landscape—where cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated and the skills gap continues to widen—we believe it's essential to combine advanced technology with expert human insight. This synergy empowers us to help customers bridge critical gaps across people, processes, and technology, delivering stronger, more resilient protection."
The company's differentiated approach is evident in its high-touch client engagement model. Each MDR client is supported by a dedicated Customer Success Manager and multilingual, 24/7 security operations centers. With a proof-of-value process embedded into the sales cycle, clients gain early insight into Sangfor's capabilities, enhancing trust and transparency. Sangfor also stands out with its dynamic communication practices, including mobile-first messaging during incident response, driving faster collaboration and resolution.
Sangfor's regional presence, bolstered by local points of presence in Malaysia and Indonesia and over 70 global offices, reinforces its commitment to compliance-ready service delivery tailored to local data residency requirements. This regional focus, coupled with scalable MDR deployment models based on monitored compute assets, empowers organizations across sectors—from small businesses to large enterprises—to access enterprise-grade protection.
Frost & Sullivan commends Sangfor Technologies for setting new standards in strategic execution, service innovation, and regional market responsiveness. The company's 19.5% year-over-year growth in managed security services revenue, paired with a 91% renewal rate in 2024, underscores the market's confidence in Sangfor's ability to deliver value, resilience, and operational readiness.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition to a company that has effectively leveraged competitive intelligence to execute a strategy resulting in stronger market share, enhanced brand positioning, and high levels of customer satisfaction.

Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Moody's Earnings Call Reflects Positive Sentiment Amid Revenue Growth and Strategic Investments The recent earnings call for Moody's Corporation conveyed a generally positive sentiment, underscored by notable revenue growth and strategic advancements. While challenges were acknowledged in areas like Corporate Finance and Structured Finance issuance, the overall outlook remains optimistic, driven by strong performance in private credit and Moody's Analytics segments. The company's strategic investments in GenAI and private credit further contribute to this positive sentiment. Revenue Growth Moody's reported a revenue of $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2025, marking a 4% increase year-over-year. The adjusted operating margin saw an improvement to 50.9%, up 130 basis points from the previous year, highlighting the company's robust financial health. Earnings Per Share Increase The company achieved a significant milestone with an adjusted diluted EPS of $3.56, reflecting a 9% growth compared to the previous year and a remarkable 60% increase from the same quarter three years ago. Private Credit Revenue Surge Private credit-related transactions were a standout, accounting for nearly 25% of first-time mandates. Revenue from private credit grew by an impressive 75% in the second quarter, showcasing the company's strong foothold in this market. Moody's Analytics Performance Moody's Analytics segment delivered an 11% revenue growth and a 12% increase in recurring revenue. The adjusted operating margin improved by 360 basis points year-over-year to 32.1%, reflecting the segment's robust performance. GenAI Integration The integration of GenAI into Moody's products is progressing well, with approximately 40% of products now featuring some form of GenAI enablement. Early adopter customers have contributed nearly $200 million, with spending growing at twice the rate of Moody's Analytics overall. Corporate Finance Transaction Revenue Decline Despite the overall positive outlook, Corporate Finance transaction revenue experienced a 6% decline year-over-year. This was attributed to a slowdown in bank loans issuance and subdued M&A activity. Structured Finance Issuance Decline Structured Finance issuance faced a 25% decline in the second quarter due to market volatility and wider spreads in April. However, transaction revenue only saw a 3% decline, thanks to a favorable mix. KYC Growth Deceleration The growth of KYC ARR moderated to 15%, impacted by the strategic termination of a long-standing redistribution partnership. This decision affected new business growth but aligns with Moody's strategic direction. Forward-Looking Guidance Moody's provided an optimistic forward-looking guidance during the earnings call. The company expects full-year revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percent range and has adjusted its fiscal guidance accordingly. With a focus on disciplined expense management and continued investment in growth opportunities, Moody's remains optimistic about the second half of the year. Strategic investments in private credit markets and partnerships are expected to drive future growth. In conclusion, Moody's earnings call painted a positive picture of the company's financial health and strategic direction. Despite some challenges in specific segments, the overall sentiment was buoyant, driven by strong revenue growth, strategic investments, and a promising outlook for the future.
