In Southeast Asia, the Philippines stands as one of the most rapidly advancing economies. With a population of 106 million, the country boasts 50 million internet users and 34 million smartphone owners. Despite this, formal financial services remain accessible to only 20 million individuals, highlighting a significant gap in financial inclusion within the country.

Even with a population exceeding 100 million, the Philippines has rapidly emerged as a growing economy. However, a significant hurdle remains in the form of approximately 70 million unbanked individuals, severely constraining their access to both domestic and global financial networks.

Leveraging its digital payment achievements, the Philippine government has initiated multiple programs aimed at substantially boosting the uptake of digital transactions within the next two years. These endeavours are in line with its aspiration to cultivate a cash-lite economy and bolster financial inclusion rates. Officials anticipate that the integration of digital payment solutions will reduce transaction expenses and eliminate prevalent obstacles related to owning transaction accounts.

Exhibitors and sponsors will actively participate, showcasing tailored innovative solutions for the industry’s pressing challenges. Their cutting-edge technologies, robust financial platforms, and strategic methodologies aim to bolster cybersecurity, enhance financial accessibility, and drive seamless digital integration. Anticipated contributions from stakeholders will provide comprehensive insights and actionable strategies, effectively addressing challenges and fostering sustainable industry growth.

The Banking, Finance, and IT Summit is scheduled to take place on 26th October at Hilton Manila in the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines. This summit is set to become the nucleus for the exploration of pioneering technological advancements and strategic initiatives within the BFSI sectors, with the support of National Privacy Commission, Digital Philipinas, Fintech Philippines Association, Cyber Security Philippines CERT, The London Institute of Banking & Finance and National Association of Data Protection Officers of the Philippines. Together with these esteemed partners, the summit aims to foster collaborative innovation and pave the way for a transformative future in the financial technology landscape of the Philippines.

Leveraging new era for customer experience through digital platforms.
Trends, Challenges, and Best Practises for Cloud Computing in the BFSI.

Streaming these concerts via TMG-affiliated social media channels, advertisers have the opportunity to collaborate with TMG-connected influencers in promoting these popular music events and reaching to their desired audiences.

Ilhamka Nizam, TMG Indonesia Country Head, explains, “Indonesians love music, and it comes as no surprise that TMG found an innovative way to tap into that expanding market segment. Across these live events, TMG aims to reach over 2.5 million over the course of the next year which will create significant sponsorship opportunities for advertisers and our 10,000-member influencer community here in Indonesia. We are planning to host 1 concert each month and is projected to earn $680K annually, and each year we are planning to host 1 big festival that is outside the monthly concerts we will be hosting. I am confident that over 2024, the Group will expand these initiatives across the rest of the TMG markets in Southeast Asia, significantly increasing the revenues for the Group”.

Society Pass Inc (Nasdaq: SOPA) Announces Plans to Spinout Two Profitable Business Units Into New Publicly-Traded Companies via Nasdaq IPOs in 2024

Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) (SoPa or the Company), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation, data-driven, loyalty, fintech and e-commerce ecosystem, announces that its Board of Directors, together with its financial and legal advisors, have evaluated a comprehensive range of strategic restructuring options to unlock shareholder value. As a result of these discussions, SoPa will pursue a spinout and initial public offering on Nasdaq in 2024 for its digital advertising ecosystem, Thoughtful Media Group Inc (TMG), and for its online travel platform, NusaTrip Inc (NusaTrip).

Thailand-based TMG, the premier digital advertising network in SEA, operates in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Philippines and connects advertisers/brands/merchants with over 10,000 influencers to targeted audiences in SEA via its social media-focused advertising ecosystem. TMG delivers significant returns on investment on advertising spend for its clients by more efficiently and effectively generating additional revenues across thousands of creator channels in industries such as fashion & beauty, lifestyle, video games, cooking, automotive, travel, luxury, and sports.

Nusatrip, a leading Indonesia-based online travel agency, offers a comprehensive range of airlines and hotels on its travel platform for corporate and retail customers across SEA. With its first mover advantage, NusaTrip has onboarded over 1.2 million registered users, over 500 airlines and over 650,000 hotels around the world as well as connected with over 80 million unique visitors. Initially only focused on the Indonesian market, NusaTrip has expanded to other SEA countries to become a first-choice travel provider throughout SEA.

SoPa believes that its separately-traded TMG and NusaTrip subsidiaries will increase SoPa shareholder value as investors can more clearly evaluate the performance and future potential of these profitable businesses on a standalone basis, whilst allowing each business to pursue its own distinct strategy and capital allocation policy. Both TMG and NusaTrip are managed by separate executive teams.

“We believe that separating and listing our principal businesses in 2024 will improve our ability to unlock hidden value for all our stakeholders,” says Raynauld Liang, the Chief Executive Officer of SoPa. “Both TMG and NusaTrip are profitable and have large and growing market opportunities. This new proposed group structure will further increase both their operational agility and ability to focus on delivering exceptional solutions to their customers.”

Mr. Liang further notes, “SoPa’s actions follow the leads of both Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Kellogg’s (K) spinning out operating subsidiaries and we plan on having the same success.”

Society Pass completed an initial public offering and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker SOPA in November 2021.

SoPa acquires fast growing e-commerce companies and expands its user base across a robust product and service ecosystem. SoPa integrates these complementary businesses through its signature Society Pass fintech platform and circulation of its universal loyalty points or Society Points, which has entered beta testing and is expected to launch broadly at the beginning of 2023. Society Pass loyalty program members earn and redeem Society Points and receive personalised promotions based on SoPa’s data capabilities and understanding of consumer shopping behaviour.

Dazz Cloud Security Remediation Platform Now Available on Google Cloud Marketplace

Dazz, the global leader in cloud security remediation, announced today that the Dazz Remediation Cloud is now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling Google Cloud customers to easily acquire and deploy the company’s solution as part of their strategy to safely modernize development and scale cloud operations.

The Dazz platform uniquely allows customers to graph their code-to-cloud environment for visibility into the entire software development lifecycle and across all security controls. The company’s patented AI, automation, data correlation, and root cause analysis technology helps security and engineering teams rapidly discover, prioritize and fix misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, API insecurities, and secrets in code – all in a developer-friendly workflow. Since a typical enterprise has more than 70 security controls that are each capable of producing thousands of alerts daily, Dazz is a game changer for resource-constrained security teams, who can use the platform to slash the time it takes to investigate and fix issues from days to hours by eliminating manual, time-consuming processes.

“Security is top-of-mind for enterprises moving to the cloud, and we’re thrilled to be working with Google Cloud to help customers reduce the risks of modern application development,” said Merav Bahat, Dazz’s co-founder and CEO. “Security and cloud engineering teams can now easily add Dazz to their tech stack via the Google Cloud Marketplace and accelerate digital transformation knowing they will be able to rapidly and permanently fix the issues that matter most to the business.”

Since coming out of stealth in December 2021, Dazz holds the industry’s highest mileage in investigating and pinpointing root causes in hundreds of millions of security issues across dozens of customers, many in the Fortune 500. Customers experience significant business and security benefits. According to a recent IDC research paper, Dazz customers:

Spend 44% less time identifying root causes
Spend 38% less time researching issues
Are 21% quicker to fix issues

“As a part of their digital transformation strategies, many enterprises are seeking solutions that help them better identify and address security threats,” says Dai Vu, Managing Director, Cloud Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs, Google Cloud. “Now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, Dazz is helping to accelerate security cloud remediation for security and engineering teams.”
