MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2024 – Wildberries, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in Eurasia, has expanded its use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the user experience for customers and sellers on its marketplace. Customers can now search for products — such as a sweatshirt with a specific print or a uniquely designed chair — by using images that show the kind of product they’re looking for. They simply upload a photo from their media library or from the Internet to the Wildberries app and highlight the area containing the product of interest. The app automatically identifies the item, displays current prices from different sellers and suggests similar products. This functionality is powered by a neural network trained on a database of millions of Wildberries’s most popular items, along with vector-based databases. The app also harnesses AI to enable customers to use text or voice search. The search results display products that match the query and provide personalized recommendations tailored to the customer’s style and price preferences, based on their purchase history. For sellers on the Wildberries marketplace, AI streamlines the process of creating product listings by offering automated suggestions for product descriptions and a photo editor that enhances image quality. Sellers of clothing can forgo costly photoshoots with fashion models by showcasing items on virtual models generated by neural networks. The platform also utilizes AI to combat unfair competition, including “fake discounts” whereby a seller artificially inflates the price before announcing a sale. Wildberries analyzes the price history of various sellers and prioritizes those sellers who genuinely reduce their prices in its search results. As an additional resource for marketplace sellers, Wildberries has developed proprietary algorithms that analyze past sales, weather conditions and other factors to determine how well a product is likely to sell. The system forecasts demand, plans delivery routes and optimizes warehouse operations, helping sellers to avoid both overstocking and product shortages.

About Wildberries Established in 2004 in Russia, Wildberries is a leading e-commerce platform that currently operates in Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Uzbekistan.

The Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice Distinction is based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have experience with the product or service HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, has announced that it was named a Customer’s Choice in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms. According to Gartner, “Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) are a unified and tightly integrated set of security and compliance capabilities designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications.” To learn more about Trend’s Cloud Security, please visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/en_hk/business/products/hybrid-cloud.html Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “Organizations have been grappling with a proliferation of security tools that fail to provide unified risk visibility, comprehensive protection for multi-cloud environments, and effective detection and response capabilities for hybrid clouds. That’s why we’re delighted to be named one of just four Customer’s Choice for CNAPP, with a ‘willingness to recommend’ customer rating of 96% based on 81 reviews submitted as of December 2024 on Gartner Peer Insights for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms market. We believe this recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional customer experiences to help address the most pressing challenges in today’s dynamic and complex infrastructure landscape.” Trend averaged a 4.7-star rating from customer reviews, three-quarters (72%) of which were five-star reviews and 27% four-star. It scored particularly highly in Product Capabilities (4.7) and Sales Experience (4.7) based on 81 reviews submitted as of December 2024. Today’s businesses are leveraging cloud-native application in ever-greater numbers to drive competitive advantage, but too often cybersecurity solutions are still playing catch up. Siloed point solutions lack automation, create security gaps for risk to thrive in, and exacerbate friction between security and developer teams caused by time-to-market pressures. Trend Vision One™ – Cloud Security offers a modern approach to CNAPP for customers. The centralized platform enables deep visibility into risks, preventative measures such as runtime protection, and rapid response actions designed to minimize exposure. By combining these capabilities in a single platform, organizations can remove developer-security friction, enhance compliance, and continuously mitigate risk in the cloud, through features such as: Cloud misconfiguration checks for open Amazon S3 buckets, databases and network ports Runtime monitoring and protection of cloud workloads such as instances and containers Automated detection of vulnerabilities within containers, virtual machines (VMs) or serverless functions Exposure scanning for CVEs, secrets, sensitive data and malware Infrastructure as code (IaC) and container image scanning enable early risk detection, allowing issues to be addressed before deployment to production. Agentless scanning capabilities identify risks, vulnerabilities, and threats in workloads where deploying agents is not possible. File security scanning detects and prevents any malicious files from being uploaded to critical cloud-native applications Cloud detection and response (CDR) correlates telemetry from workloads, applications, and cloud logs to provide security teams with real-time visibility into suspicious activities in cloud accounts Data security posture management (DSPM) helps identify sensitive information and correlates it with predictive attack paths, enabling organizations to prioritize the most critical risk based on their most valuable assets Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) continuously monitors permissions and identity activities to prevent unauthorized access and potential lateral movements within cloud accounts Disclaimer: Gartner, Voice of the Customer for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms, Peer Contributors, 27 December 2024 Gartner® and Peer Insights™ are trademarks of Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates.
