سدّ فجوة التعافي من الكوارث: تمكين عمليات مرنة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة - الثلاثاء, 02. يونيو 2026

• من التخطيط للتعافي إلى العمليات المستمرة: الشركات تعيد النظر في التعافي من الكوارث في ظل تزايد المخاطر الجيوسياسية ومخاطر البنية التحتية

تشهد أورانج بيزنس (Orange Business) تزايدًا في عدد الشركات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا التي تعيد تقييم استراتيجياتها المتعلقة بالمرونة والتعافي من الكوارث، حيث تُعرّض حالة عدم اليقين الجيوسياسي والاعتماد على البنية التحتية استمرارية الأعمال للضغوط خلال فترات الانقطاع المطوّلة.

تركز استراتيجيات المرونة التقليدية على التعافي بعد وقوع الحادث. ولكن خلال الأزمات البنيوية، تحتاج الشركات أيضًا إلى بنى تحتية تحافظ على استمرارية العمليات الحيوية في ظل استمرار الظروف غير المستقرة. وينتقل مديرو تقنية المعلومات من نموذج "الاستعادة بعد الفشل" التفاعلي إلى نهج استمرارية أكثر مرونة يرسم خريطة لاعتمادات التكنولوجيا ويدعم العمليات خلال فترات عدم الاستقرار.

تشمل هذه المرونة التكرارية تعزيز بنى النسخ الاحتياطي والاستعادة، واعتماد التكرار المتعدد المواقع والسحابي، وأتمتة عمليات تجاوز الأعطال، وإجراء اختبارات ضغط مستمرة لجاهزية الاستعادة للحفاظ على الخدمات في ظل الظروف الصعبة.

يوضح ساهم عزام، رئيس منطقة الشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا وآسيا الداخلية في أورانج بيزنس: "أدركت المؤسسات، مع تصاعد الأزمات مؤخرًا، ضرورة أن تكون أكثر استباقية ومرونة فيما يتعلق بالمرونة، ولكن هذا ليس بالأمر السهل نظرًا لتعقيد البنى التحتية الحديثة المترابطة وتوزيعها الجغرافي. وبصفتنا شريكًا موثوقًا به ذا حضور محلي ودولي، فإننا في وضع فريد يمكّننا من مساعدة مديري تقنية المعلومات على تحديد حجم استراتيجية المرونة الأمثل واتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة فيما يتعلق بالتعافي من الكوارث بناءً على المخاطر الحالية لضمان استمرارية العمليات خلال فترات الاضطراب".

يجب على مديري تقنية المعلومات التعامل مع استمرارية الأعمال كقدرة متطورة، وليست مجرد خطة لمرة واحدة في المشهد الرقمي المتقلب اليوم.

بناء عمليات مرنة وجاهزة للمستقبل

في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا، لم يعد التحدي يكمن في تسريع التحول الرقمي، بل في كيفية بناء بنية تحتية سحابية ومنصات موثوقة تُمكّن الابتكار مع ضمان عمليات آمنة ومرنة.

من خلال الاستفادة من قابلية التوسع والتنوع الجغرافي للبنية التحتية السحابية، تستطيع المؤسسات ضمان استمرارية الوصول إلى البيانات، حتى في حال حدوث عطل كارثي.

تدعم أورانج بيزنس ذلك من خلال مرونة السحابة الهجينة مع النسخ الآمن للبيانات في عرضها السيادي، Cloud Avenue، إلى جانب خدمات الاستضافة المشتركة في بيئات مراكز بيانات آمنة. ويمكن تقسيم البيانات ونسخها احتياطيًا بناءً على متطلبات العمل.

كما يجب أن تتضمن خطة المرونة مراقبة فورية، وأتمتة، وضوابط أمن سيبراني مدمجة لتمكين الكشف السريع والاستجابة والتعافي. وتعمل Orange Business بشكل وثيق مع Orange Cyberdefense لتعزيز المرونة من خلال الإشراف الأمني المستمر والخبرة في مجال التهديدات.

Closing the disaster recovery gap: enabling resilient operations across the MEA region

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, 02. June 2026

From recovery planning to always-on operations: enterprises rethink disaster recovery amid rising geopolitical and infrastructure risks

Orange Business is seeing a growing number of enterprises across MEA reassess their resilience and disaster recovery strategies as geopolitical uncertainties and infrastructure dependencies put business continuity under pressure during prolonged disruptions.

Traditional resilience strategies focus on recovery after an incident. But during a systemic crisis, businesses also need architectures that keep critical operations running while conditions remain unstable. CIOs are moving from a reactive “restore after failure” model to a more agile continuity approach that maps technology dependencies and supports operations through periods of instability.

This iterative resilience includes strengthening backup and recovery architectures, adopting multi-site and cloud-based redundancy, automating failover processes and continuously stress-testing recovery readiness to maintain services under adverse conditions.

“Recent escalations have made enterprises realize they need to be more proactive and flexible when it comes to resilience, but this is not easy with the complexity and distributed nature of modern interconnected infrastructures,” explains Sahem Azzam, President of IMEA and Inner Asia at Orange Business. “As a trusted partner with a local and international footprint, we are uniquely placed to help CIOs right-size their resilience strategy and do what is necessary in terms of disaster recovery based on current risks to ensure they can continue operations during periods of turbulence”.

CIOs must treat business continuity as an evolving capability, not a one-time plan in today’s volatile digital landscape.

Building resilient, future-ready operations

Across the MEA, the challenge is no longer whether to accelerate digital transformation but how to build trusted cloud and platform foundations that enable innovation while ensuring secure, resilient operations.

By leveraging the scalability and geographic diversity of cloud infrastructure, enterprises can help ensure data remains accessible, even in the event of catastrophic failure.

Orange Business supports this through hybrid cloud resilience with secure replication in its sovereign offer, Cloud Avenue, alongside co-location in secure data center environments. Data can be segmented and mirrored based on business requirements.

A resilience plan should also include real-time monitoring, automation and embedded cybersecurity controls to enable rapid detection, response and recovery. Orange Business works closely with Orange Cyberdefense to strengthen resilience through continuous security oversight and threat expertise.

NIQ Launches Product Intelligence to Power AI-Driven Commerce

CHICAGO -

New solution structures and enriches fragmented product data to help brands and retailers fuel AI discovery, recommendations, and agentic commerce

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NielsenIQ (NYSE: NIQ) today announced the launch of NIQ Product Intelligence, a new solution designed to help retailers and brands transform fragmented product data into structured, interoperable intelligence that fuels AI-driven commerce.

As AI increasingly shapes how consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products, the quality and completeness of product data have become a defining competitive advantage. In AI-mediated commerce environments, products that lack structured, enriched, and machine-readable data risk becoming invisible to recommendation engines, AI assistants, and autonomous purchasing agents.

NIQ Product Intelligence addresses this challenge by creating a unified product intelligence layer that standardizes attributes, resolves product identity across systems, and enriches product data at scale, enabling AI systems to better understand, match, recommend, and surface products across digital and physical commerce channels.

For example, a traditional keyword search may only surface products containing exact terms like “protein snack” or “low-alcohol drinks.” AI-driven commerce experiences require a much deeper understanding of consumer intent and context, helping consumers discover products through nuanced requests such as “a healthy chocolate brownie alternative that still feels indulgent,” “a premium low-alcohol drink for a dinner party,” or “a gluten-free movie snack for family night.” Product Intelligence helps structure and enrich product data so AI systems can better interpret consumer needs, understand product attributes and context, and surface the most relevant recommendations.

Built on NIQ’s existing global commerce data assets and harmonization expertise, Product Intelligence helps brands and retailers:

Build a unified and interoperable product intelligence layer

Standardize and enrich product attributes at scale

Improve product matching, discoverability, and cross-system consistency

Enable products to become recommendation-ready across emerging AI commerce environments

“AI systems can only reason over products they can properly understand,” said Troy Treangen, Chief Product Officer, NIQ. “Product Intelligence creates a structured, interoperable product layer that resolves fragmented data, enriches attributes, and enables AI systems to identify, compare, and recommend products with far greater accuracy.”

NIQ Product Intelligence is built on NIQ’s global commerce intelligence infrastructure, including relationships with more than 8,900 retailers across 90 countries, a product catalog spanning more than 246 million unique items, and over 10 billion maintained product attributes. The solution also leverages NIQ’s decades of expertise in harmonizing and enriching complex commerce data across retailers, brands, and digital platforms.

The launch of Product Intelligence represents the first major offering within NIQ’s broader Commerce Intelligence portfolio, combining NIQ’s existing data assets, product content capabilities, and harmonization expertise into solutions that help customers build for the next era of AI-driven and agentic commerce today. NIQ will showcase Product Intelligence and its role in enabling agentic commerce at NIQ’s annual C360 event, taking place June 8-11 in San Antonio, Texas. To learn more and register for the event, visit the NIQ C360 event page.

Interactive Brokers تدمج الذكاء الاصطناعي في محافظ العملاء – مدعومًا بتقنيات الوكلاء وتخضع للسيطرة الكاملة من قِبل العميل

غرينويتش، كونيتيكت

يمكن للعملاء الآن إجراء أبحاث متعمقة حول الأسهم، وتحليل أداء محافظهم، وإنشاء تعليمات تداول ذكية مباشرةً عبر منصة Claude تظل الموافقة النهائية على كل عملية تداول بيد العميل.

(BUSINESS WIRE)--أعلنت شركة Interactive Brokers (المدرجة في بورصة ناسداك بالرمز: IBKR)، وهي شركة وساطة عالمية رائدة تعتمد على الأتمتة، اليوم عن إطلاق التداول المدعوم بالوكلاء من خلال تكامل مباشر مع منصة Claude، إحدى أبرز منصات الذكاء الاصطناعي الرائدة عالميًا. ومن خلال هذا التكامل المتاح عبر سوق الموصلات المعتمدة الخاص بمنصة الذكاء الاصطناعي، يمكن للعملاء إدارة حساباتهم والوصول إلى أكثر من 170 سوقًا مالية حول العالم بكل سهولة.

وصرَّح Milan Galik، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Interactive Brokers، قائلاً: "على مدار أكثر من أربعة عقود، اعتمدت Interactive Brokers على التكنولوجيا لمساعدة المستثمرين على اتخاذ قرارات أكثر استنارة والتفاعل مع الأسواق". "ويتجه المستثمرون بشكل متزايد إلى استخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي لإجراء أبحاث الأسواق، وتحليل المعلومات، وتوليد الأفكار الاستثمارية. ونرى أن الخطوة المنطقية التالية تتمثل في تمكين العملاء من ربط أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي بحسابات الوساطة الخاصة بهم بشكل آمن ومباشر، سواء كانوا يبحثون عن واجهة محادثة بسيطة، أو تحليلات أكثر عمقًا للمحافظ الاستثمارية، أو القدرة على تطوير وتنفيذ استراتيجيات تداول متقدمة ومتطورة".

يمكن للعملاء ربط حساباتهم الحالية لدى IBKR من خلال سوق الموصلات المعتمدة الخاص بمنصة Claude في غضون دقائق معدودة باستخدام بيانات تسجيل الدخول الخاصة بحسابهم لدى IBKR. وتتميز عملية الإعداد بالبساطة والسهولة؛ إذ لا تترتب عليها أي تكاليف إضافية، كما لا يحتاج العملاء إلى فتح أو تمويل حساب وساطة منفصل. يعتمد هذا التكامل على واجهات برمجة التطبيقات (APIs) نفسها التي استخدمها العديد من عملاء IBKR النشطين لبناء عملياتهم الخاصة بالتداول. وبات بإمكان روبوتات الدردشة ووكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي الآن الوصول إلى كامل وظائف واجهة برمجة التطبيقات (API) هذه، بما في ذلك عرض المراكز الاستثمارية الحالية، والأوامر المفتوحة، وسجل التداولات، ومعلومات الهامش، وبيانات السوق. اختارت IBKR نموذج تكامل على مستوى المؤسسات، حيث لا تتم مشاركة أي مفاتيح أو كلمات مرور خاصة بواجهة برمجة التطبيقات مع مزود الذكاء الاصطناعي، كما لا يتم تخزين أي بيانات اعتماد للمصادقة على جهاز العميل. ويهدف هذا النهج إلى توفير مستوى أعلى من الأمان مقارنةً بالحلول البديلة.

ومن خلال هذا التكامل، يمكن للعملاء طرح أسئلة على الذكاء الاصطناعي حول محافظهم الاستثمارية أو الأسواق المالية باستخدام لغة طبيعية وسهلة، والحصول على تحليلات تستند مباشرةً إلى بيانات حساباتهم الفعلية. كما يمكنهم إنشاء تعليمات تداول مبنية على تلك التحليلات. ووفقًا لآلية "الإنسان ضمن دائرة اتخاذ القرار" المعتمدة في النظام، تظهر هذه التعليمات في علامة تبويب مخصصة باسم "تعليمات الذكاء الاصطناعي" ضمن صفحة "الأوامر وطلبات التداول": عبر جميع منصات IBKR، حيث يمكن للعميل مراجعة التعليمات والتحقق منها قبل الموافقة على إرسالها كأوامر إلى الأسواق المالية.

عند الإطلاق، يتيح هذا التكامل إنشاء تعليمات تداول للأسهم وصناديق المؤشرات المتداولة ويدعم أوامر السوق والأوامر المحددة السعر، على أن تتم إضافة فئات أصول أخرى خلال الأسبوع المقبل. وأصبح التكامل مع منصة Claude متاحًا بالفعل اعتبارًا من الآن. كما أن عمليات التكامل مع منصات ChatGPT وGemini وGrok تخضع حاليًا لإجراءات الاعتماد والتصديق لدى المنصات المعنية، ومن المتوقع أن تصبح متاحة لعملاء IBKR في المستقبل القريب.

ما الذي يمكن للعملاء طرحه من أسئلة

فيما يلي أمثلة على أنواع الأسئلة التي يدعمها هذا التكامل عند الإطلاق:

ما النسبة المئوية من محفظتي المستثمرة في أسهم قطاع التكنولوجيا؟

أي من مراكزي الاستثمارية يحقق أعلى ربح غير محقق، وأيها يسجل أكبر خسارة غير محققة؟

تمثل استثماراتي في قطاع التكنولوجيا 18% من إجمالي محفظتي. ما المطلوب لإعادة موازنتها وخفضها إلى الوزن المستهدف البالغ 10%؟ وما القيمة الدولارية اللازمة لتنفيذ هذا التعديل؟

لدي انخفاض في الوزن الاستثماري لقطاع الرعاية الصحية. ما الإجراءات المطلوبة لرفع تعرضي لهذا القطاع إلى 15% من إجمالي المحفظة?

Perpetuals Reports $4.5 Billion in UpsideOnly Volume and Signs Exchange Agreement With Datavault AI for Tokenized Commodities

SAN FRANCISCO - Tuesday, 02. June 2026

UpsideOnly draws more than 30,000 active users from 185 countries in its first two weeks
Perpetuals signs exchange agreement with Datavault AI, bringing tokenized gold, copper, geothermal energy, and critical minerals to 24/7 regulated global trading

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perpetuals.com Ltd (Nasdaq: PDC) today reported strong early results for its breakout UpsideOnly trading and market prediction platform and announced an agreement with Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT) to list tokenized real-world commodity assets on the Perpetuals platform.

In its first two weeks, traders flocked to the UpsideOnly platform, attracting more than 30,000 active users, generating $4.5 billion in cumulative platform volume across 186,000 fills and 25 instruments. Reflecting the widespread demand for a risk-free product, users came from 185 different countries. Surprisingly, gold was the top instrument with $1.4 billion in volume, outpacing bitcoin at $1.2 billion with precious metals accounting for roughly 35 percent of total platform activity.

UpsideOnly is the first trading and market prediction platform where users can't lose. Traders make predictions across global markets and share in profits when those predictions are validated by Perpetuals's proprietary AI, without ever putting up their own money.

Perpetuals also confirmed the company has signed a Mutual Services Agreement with Datavault AI, a real-world asset tokenization company, to list its commodity token programs on the Perpetuals exchange platform, targeting trading on PM MTF Ltd., the EU-licensed Multilateral Trading Facility operated on Perpetuals’s technology. The agreement initially covers the MTB Copper project, with provisions for expansion to additional programs spanning from gold, copper, geothermal energy, U.S. critical minerals, and European iron-nickel resources. These programs carry a combined targeted issuance of more than $328 million.

“The past two weeks have made clear that Perpetuals is building something that fills a major need in the market. UpsideOnly adoption has exceeded everything we projected, and now closing this Datavault AI agreement demonstrates our velocity,” said Matthew Nicoletti, Chief Strategy Officer and Director of Perpetuals. “We are moving fast and the momentum is real.”

“Perpetuals has built the regulated infrastructure that physical commodity tokenization needs and has been missing,” said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. “Partnering with a platform that has already demonstrated this kind of user growth puts our token programs in front of what we believe may be the largest possible audience at exactly the right moment for Datavault AI.”

Experian Brings Trusted Agentic AI to Financial Services With the Launch of Agent Operating System™

LONDON & AMSTERDAM -

A new core capability within Experian’s Ascend Platform, designed to help financial services organisations safely scale agentic AI across the lending lifecycle

Brings together Experian, client and partner AI agents within a trusted operating layer for data, decisioning, governance and control

55% of consumers say they would allow an AI agent to make an autonomous purchase on their behalf

ServiceNow becomes first partner to integrate with Experian’s Agent Operating System

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Experian today announces the launch of the Agent Operating System™, a trusted agentic AI layer within the Experian Ascend Platform, unveiled at Money20/20 Europe.

The Experian Agent Operating System is designed to help financial services organisations move successfully beyond AI experimentation and safely scale agentic AI to transform decision-making, customer experiences, and day-to-day operations. It enables AI agents from Experian, clients and partners to work together through a common trust, semantic and orchestration layer, supported by clear controls, auditability and human oversight.

The launch comes as financial services firms accelerate investment in AI but continue to face major barriers to scaling adoption. New Experian research* shows that nearly half of global organisations (48%), say integrating data into AI workflows remains difficult, while a third cite poor data lineage and a further third say data is siloed across teams and systems.

At the same time, consumers are increasingly open to AI acting on their behalf, with 55%** willing to use AI tools for online purchases or bookings, rising to 70% among 25-39-year-olds.

Vijay Mehta, General Manager AI, Experian Software Solutions, said: “Agentic AI will reshape financial services, changing how decisions are made, how customers are served and how organisations operate at scale. This is no longer about experimentation. The winners will be those who turn AI into trusted operational reality, built on high quality data, strong governance and transparency in every decision.

“The Experian Agent Operating System is built for that moment. It brings together our unique data, advanced analytics, decisioning expertise and embedded governance within the Ascend Platform to help organisations deploy AI with confidence. This ultimately enables clients to automate key lending workflows, like fraud checks or loan approvals, in real time compared to the fragmented manual processes many rely on today.”

ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, will be the first partner to integrate with Experian’s Agent Operating System. Through the multi-year partnership, ServiceNow AI agents will connect with Experian’s Ascend Platform, allowing customers to access trusted data, decisioning and governance capabilities within existing enterprise workflows.

Cedric Parent, GVP, Global Industries at ServiceNow, said: “Financial services firms are under enormous pressure, with tightening regulations, rising fraud complexity, and rising customers’ expectations. The ambition to deploy agentic AI is there, but without access to trusted, real-time data inside enterprise workflows, agents simply can't operate at the speed or scale the industry demands. ServiceNow is proud to be the first partner deploying within Experian's Agent Operating System, giving financial institutions the confidence to automate high-stakes decisions, from fraud detection to credit risk."

Supporting the full lending lifecycle from customer acquisition and fraud detection to credit decisioning, portfolio monitoring, and reporting, Agent Operating System bridges the gap between AI ambition and operational reality. It combines data, analytics, decisioning, and identity with built-in governance, risk management, explainability, and controls to enable trusted complex workflow automation.

The Agent Operating System will be available to early adopters later this year, before rolling out to more than 2,300 client solutions globally. Key capabilities include:

A trusted agentic operating layer: Identity, access control, data security, compliance guardrails, monitoring and governance controls that enable AI agents to operate safely across data, models and workflows.

Composability: Experian, client-built, and partner agents work together without having to replace existing technology, allowing organisations to start with targeted use cases and progressively evolve toward fully connected, agent-driven workflows.

Agent-native decisioning: Purpose-built agents across fraud, identity, credit risk, marketing, analytics, operations and governance that can investigate, orchestrate and optimise workflows, rather than simply respond to prompts.

Embedded governance by design: Model risk management, explainability, audit trails, monitoring and policy enforcement built into agentic workflows to support compliant AI at enterprise scale.

Productivity at scale, with human oversight: Automation of investigation, strategy execution, insight generation, documentation and monitoring, with human-in-the-loop validation for complex decisions and high-impact outcomes.

Experian is a 5-star sponsor of Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam and will host the event’s Connection Lounge. Adolfo Tunon, Head of Banking GTM, EMEA at ServiceNow will join Experian’s Vijay Mehta and Laurie Schnidman on stage to discuss the launch of Agent Operating System and the future of agentic AI in financial services.

Notes to Editor:

*Experian and Phronesis conducted a global survey in April and May 2026 among more than 800 senior decision-makers at financial institutions across the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, India, Italy, South Africa, Colombia, and Chile.

شركة comforte تطلق TAMUNIO Assure لتحديث تقنيات التشفير في أنظمة HPE Nonstop استعدادًا لعصر ما بعد الحوسبة الكمومية

فيسبادن، ألمانيا - الأربعاء, 03. يونيو 2026 أيتوس واير

يساعد الحل الجديد فرق HPE Nonstop على تحديث منظومة أمن بروتوكولات SSH وSSL/TLS، وذلك باستخدام تقنيات تشفير آمنة في مواجهة مخاطر الحوسبة الكمومية، إلى جانب توحيد آليات إدارة المفاتيح والأسرار الرقمية، وأتمتة دورات حياة الشهادات والمفاتيح.

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- أعلنت اليوم شركة comforte AG، الرائدة عالميًا في مجال الأمن المرتكز على البيانات لبيئات HPE Nonstop، عن إطلاق TAMUNIO Assure، الحل المُصمم خصوصًا لأنظمة HPE Nonstop الذي يساعد المؤسسات على تحديث منظومة الأمن التشفيري بدون الحاجة إلى إعادة كتابة التطبيقات أو التسبب في أي تعطّل للأنظمة الحيوية.

يساعد TAMUNIO Assure المؤسسات على تعزيز منظومة أمن بروتوكولات SSH وSSL/TLS، عن طريق توحيد آليات إدارة المفاتيح وبيانات الاعتماد والشهادات والأسرار الرقمية، فضلاً عن أتمتة إدارة دورات حياة الشهادات والمفاتيح عبر أنظمة HPE Nonstop، إذ يضمن هذا الحل للمؤسسات تعزيز المنظومة الأمنية ورفع مستوى كفاءة العمليات وبناء بنية أمنية محصنة ضد مخاطر الحوسبة الكمومية بدون الحاجة إلى إعادة كتابة التطبيقات الحيوية أو إجراء تغييرات عالية المخاطر على المنصة.

منظومة التشفير في HPE Nonstop تشهد تغييرًا جذريًا

تدعم أنظمة HPE Nonstop بعضًا من أكثر بيئات المعاملات تطلبًا في العالم، بما في ذلك شبكات المدفوعات والبنى التحتية المالية، التي لا تحتمل توقف الخدمة وتتطلب استمرارية تامة، وفي ظل التطور الذي تشهده متطلبات الأمن والامتثال، باتت المؤسسات بحاجة إلى منهج أفضل على صعيد المركزية والأتمتة لإدارة آليات حماية بروتوكولات SSH وSSL/TLS والمفاتيح والأسرار الرقمية والشهادات.

يأتي حل TAMUNIO Assure لمجابهة هذا التحدي عن طريق الجمع بين ثلاث قدرات حيوية ضمن حل واحد مُصمم خصوصًا لأنظمة HPE Nonstop:

تحديث بروتوكولات SSH وSSL/TLS بما يواكب عصر ما بعد الحوسبة الكمومية، لتعزيز مستوى أمن نقل البيانات في ظل الحفاظ على آلية عمل التطبيقات الحالية بدون تغيير.

حوكمة مركزية للمفاتيح والأسرار الرقمية لنقل المفاتيح وبيانات الاعتماد والشهادات والأسرار الرقمية من الملفات والبرامج النصية والمواقع غير المُدارة المتفرقة.

إدارة مؤتمتة لدورات حياة الشهادات والمفاتيح للحد من الأعمال الإدارية اليدوية، وتقليل مخاطر انقطاع الخدمة الناتجة عن انتهاء فترة الصلاحية، وتحسين مستوى اتساق العمليات التشغيلية.

صرح Henning Horst، الرئيس التنفيذي لقسم شؤون التكنولوجيا في comforte، قائلاً: "لطالما كان مجتمع HPE Nonstop بحاجة إلى حل من هذا النوع، إذ إنَّ تحديث تقنيات التشفير والاستعداد لعصر ما بعد الحوسبة الكمومية ليسا مجرد مخاوف مستقبلية نظرية، بل يمثلان مخاطر نشطة قائمة بالفعل في البيئات التي تتعامل اليوم مع بيانات عالية القيمة وطويلة العمر". "بفضل TAMUNIO Assure، يمكن لفرق Nonstop تعزيز مستوى التحكم، وتحسين مستوى المرونة التشغيلية، والاستعداد لتلبية متطلبات عصر ما بعد الحوسبة الكمومية وفق شروطها الخاصة."

تحديث لتقنيات التشفير مُصمم خصوصًا لأنظمة HPE Nonstop

في بيئات HPE Nonstop، لا يُعدّ تعطّل الخدمة خيارًا مطروحًا. وتجدر هنا الإشارة إلى أنَّ TAMUNIO Assure يساعد الفرق على تحديث آليات الحماية التشفيرية للأنظمة القائمة، مع الحفاظ على قيمة الاستثمارات المثبتة في بيئات HPE Nonstop، وفي الوقت نفسه تحسين قابلية التدقيق، وكفاءة العمليات التشغيلية، وتعزيز الوضع الأمني على المدى الطويل.

عن طريق الجمع بين حلول تحديث بروتوكولات SSH وSSL/TLS، والإدارة المركزية للمفاتيح والأسرار الرقمية، وأتمتة دورات الحياة، والتشفير الآمن في مواجهة مخاطر الحوسبة الكمومية ضمن حل واحد، توفر شركة comforte لفرق الأمن والعمليات طريقة أبسط لتقليل المخاطر والاستعداد للعصر القادم من الأمن التشفيري.

نبذة عن comforte AG

تُعدّ comforte AG شركة رائدة في مجال توفير حلول الأمن المرتكزة على البيانات، حيث تمكّن المؤسسات من حماية المعلومات الحيوية طوال دورة حياتها، في ظل الحفاظ على قابليتها للاستخدام في العمليات التجارية. كما تُعدّ شركة comforte، التي تتخذ من مدينة فيسبادن بألمانيا مقرًا رئيسيًا لها، شريكًا موثوقًا للمؤسسات العالمية عبر مختلف الصناعات. إضافة إلى ذلك، تعمل منصة TAMUNIO لأمن البيانات على أتمتة آليات اكتشاف البيانات وتصنيفها وحمايتها داخل بيئات تكنولوجيا المعلومات المعقدة. هذا، وبفضل خبرة تزيد عن 25 عامًا، تتكفل شركة comforte بحماية بيانات أكثر من 300 عميل عالمي، بما في ذلك مؤسسات رائدة، مثل Visa وMastercard، ما يمكّنها من دفع مسيرة التحول الرقمي، وتحسين مستوى العمليات، وتحقيق نمو مستدام بكل ثقة.

comforte Launches TAMUNIO Assure to Modernize HPE Nonstop Cryptography for the Post-Quantum Era

WIESBADEN, Germany - Tuesday, 02. June 2026 AETOSWire

New solution helps HPE Nonstop teams modernize SSH & SSL/TLS security using quantum-safe cryptography, centralize key and secrets management, and automate certificate and key lifecycles.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- comforte AG, a global leader in data-centric security for HPE Nonstop environments, today announced the launch of TAMUNIO Assure, a purpose-built solution for HPE Nonstop that helps organizations modernize cryptographic security without application rewrites or disruption to mission-critical systems.

TAMUNIO Assure helps organizations enhance SSH & SSL/TLS security, centralizing keys, credentials, certificates, and secrets, and automating certificate and key lifecycle management across HPE Nonstop systems. The result is stronger security, more cost-effective operations, and a quantum-safe security posture without rewriting critical applications or introducing high-risk platform changes.

The crypto operating model for HPE Nonstop is changing

HPE Nonstop systems power some of the world’s most demanding transaction environments, including payment networks and financial infrastructure, where continuous availability is essential. As security and compliance requirements evolve, organizations need a more centralized and automated way to manage SSH & SSL/TLS protection, keys, secrets, and certificates.

TAMUNIO Assure addresses this challenge by bringing together three critical capabilities in one HPE Nonstop-focused solution:

Post-quantum-ready SSH and SSL/TLS modernization to strengthen transport security while preserving existing application behavior.

Centralized key and secrets governance to move keys, credentials, certificates, and secrets out of scattered files, scripts, and unmanaged locations.

Automated certificate and key lifecycle management to reduce manual administration, lower expiration-related outage risk, and improve operational consistency.

“The HPE Nonstop community has needed a solution like this for some time. Crypto modernization and post-quantum preparation are not abstract future concerns; they are active risks for environments that carry high-value, long-lived data today,” said Henning Horst, CTO at comforte. “With TAMUNIO Assure Nonstop teams can strengthen control, improve resilience, and prepare for post-quantum requirements on their own terms.”

Purpose-built cryptographic modernization for HPE Nonstop

For HPE Nonstop environments, disruption is not an option. TAMUNIO Assure helps teams modernize cryptographic protection around existing systems, extending the value of proven HPE Nonstop investments while improving auditability, operational efficiency, and long-term security posture.

By combining SSH & SSL/TLS modernization, centralized key and secrets management, lifecycle automation, and quantum-safe cryptography in one solution, comforte gives security and operations teams a simpler way to reduce risk and prepare for the next era of cryptographic security.

Kinaxis Introduces Forward Deployed Engineering to Help Enterprises Turn Decisions into Outcomes

LAS VEGAS - Tuesday, 02. June 2026

New engineering-led engagement model helps organizations co-build AI-native operational solutions using the Maestro platform

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), a global leader in supply chain planning and orchestration, today introduced Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), a new engagement model designed to help enterprises operationalize AI and translate decisions into measurable business outcomes. FDE reflects the broader Kinaxis vision for operational orchestration, an approach that coordinates signals, decisions, actions and learnings across the business fast enough to change outcomes.

The opening keynote at Kinexions, the company’s global customer conference, delivered by CEO Razat Gaurav will be livestreamed globally on June 2 @ 11:30 am EST via LinkedIn Live.

This approach combines a unified data foundation with semantic intelligence that understands the relationships, dependencies, and trade-offs that shape enterprise operations. Together, these capabilities help organizations move beyond isolated decision-making to coordinated execution, connecting data, systems, teams, and actions across the enterprise.

Traditional planning operating models were built around isolated functions, fragmented decisions, and disconnected workflows. Concurrent planning introduced new principles of synchronized, cross-functional decision-making across supply chain planning processes. Operational orchestration extends those principles across enterprise operations, connecting planning, decision-making, and execution both within and beyond the supply chain to create adaptive organizations that continuously align, respond, and improve.

“The challenge companies face is no longer simply making better decisions faster, it’s ensuring those decisions drive real outcomes,” said Razat Gaurav, Chief Executive Officer, Kinaxis. “A supply chain decision only matters when it changes what the business can do. The next shift is ensuring decisions translate into coordinated action across the business. That only happens when AI is grounded in the physics of enterprise operations, understanding the constraints, dependencies, and trade-offs that define how work gets done. With that context, organizations can move from isolated decisions to continuous execution at scale.”

As organizations face increasing volatility, interdependencies, and scale, the challenge is no longer simply making better decisions. It is ensuring those decisions propagate across systems and processes in ways that reflect real-world constraints and deliver meaningful results. Kinaxis believes these same conditions now create the opportunity for AI to generate value, but only when it is grounded in the physics of enterprise operations.

Kinaxis addresses this challenge with composable, extensible capabilities across its platform. Kinaxis is embedding agentic AI directly into operational workflows, enabling new ways of working where teams collaborate with AI to continuously sense, reason, decide, and act within the context of the business. Built on a mature supply chain planning foundation, Kinaxis helps organizations move beyond isolated copilot toward coordinated, scalable execution grounded in their data, constraints, and operating realities.

To support this shift, Kinaxis is expanding beyond traditional software delivery into a model built on interoperable, composable building blocks. These capabilities, spanning data, semantic intelligence, decisioning, AI, and orchestration, can be assembled within Maestro to enhance planning or applied through the FDE motion to support broader operational orchestration across systems, workflows, and enterprise processes.

This shifts the engagement model:

From features to outcomes, focusing on business impact rather than predefined requirements

From project to product, building solutions that can scale and continuously improve

From go-live to ownership, prioritizing sustained adoption and long-term value

Over time, the initial solutions developed through the FDE engagement establish the operational and intelligence foundation for enterprise AI within the customer’s environment. Built on real business context, data, workflows, and decision flows, this foundation enables customers and partners to continuously extend and scale additional agentic capabilities over time.

The result is a more mature operating model where humans and AI agents work seamlessly together across enterprise processes, coordinating decisions, actions, and execution across the flows of materials, resources, and operations that drive the business.

FDE will be available through Kinaxis account teams for selected customer engagements beginning at Kinexions. Kinaxis also announced a customer and partner hackathon focused on accelerating the development of AI-driven solutions aligned to real-world business challenges.
