Leading B2B IT Marketing Agency, BNZSA, Expands into Asia-Pacific To Deliver Truly Global Demand Generation to Clients

BNZSA

Leading B2B sales and marketing agency, BNZSA, has built on its European and Americas operations with expansion into the Asia-Pacific region to provide clients with global demand generation services. At present, all global client lead generation campaigns are being run remotely from Europe but uniquely, delivered by native language speakers. “As a consequence of the outstanding campaigns we continue to deliver for clients in EMEA and in North and South America, we are responding to overwhelming demand for us to extend our offering into the diverse and complex Asia-Pacific markets,” said Brahim Samhoud, BNZSA’s CEO. “Our clients find that the unique combination of our deep first- and third-party data and insight, digital capabilities and native language contact centre agents is simply not available to them in Asia-Pacific and have insisted that we extend our services to support their sales and marketing programmes in the region.” BNZSA, which posted 344 percent growth in Q3 2021 vs the same period a year ago, eyes expansion into Asia-Pacific as a catapult for even more impressive performance in 2022. According to The McKinsey Global Institute, Asia’s technological capabilities have expanded rapidly over the past decade. Between 2006–08 and 2016–18, Asia accounted for 52 percent of global growth in the revenue of technology companies. The region’s global share of start-up investment increased from only 16 percent in 2006–08 to 40 percent in 2017–19, accounting for 43 percent of global growth. And McKinsey asserts that the four areas where Asia has a high share of both start-up investment and strong patents are mobile services, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and manufacturing equipment. “The growth opportunities in hardware and software are evident, and as clients are increasingly centralising sales and marketing budgets and focusing on global enterprise accounts, they expect the same levels of service in all regionals globally,” added Paul Briggs, BNZSA’s Director of Global Corporate Development. “Regardless of geography, our teams are able to physically qualify and route leads within hours of the lead being generated. This is practically unique in the marketplace – particularly as we bring our industry standard GDPR compliance to Asia.” About BNZSA BNZSA is a leading marketing agency specialising in tele-based demand generation with a team of 350 than who are experts in delivering qualified, sales-ready leads. It was established in 2013 and has grown rapidly over eight years. BNZSA is privately-owned, has never relied on third-party funding, and has been profitable since day one. The company is based in Madrid, Spain, and has offices in the UK, France and Morocco. It invests heavily in its agents who are all native language speakers and deliver client campaigns in 25 languages globally. In addition to the uniquely human and personal dimension of the company, BNZSA is a leader in the application of technology to underpin its value proposition. It built its own bespoke CRM platform, and is a pioneer in the use of AI, NLP and ML technologies.

Industrial Defender Delivers Industry-First OT Machine Learning Engine Using Both Network and Endpoint Data

Industrial Defender

Industrial Defender, an operational technology (OT) security pioneer, today announced another industry-first in their long line of innovations, a new OT Machine Learning (OTML) Engine. The OTML Engine is powered by Industrial Defender’s contextual OT endpoint and network data and uses the extensive Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit algorithms, to help businesses implement machine learning at scale across OT environments. As cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated, businesses require centralized machine learning for IT and OT environments – both of which have generally remained disparate and siloed to date – to develop stronger, more accurate data models for detecting, investigating and responding to potential threats. Consuming OT asset and network data in Splunk supports the creation of incident response playbooks specifically for these systems to enable advanced use cases like SOAR. “The centralization of machine learning is absolutely essential for it to be truly effective across any one organization – otherwise, it’s only useful for the particular system or plant in which it is currently being deployed,” said Peter Lund, Vice President of Product Management, Industrial Defender. “By marrying machine learning for both IT and OT environments in Splunk, our new OTML features enable predictive modeling and incident response for cyberattacks such as ransomware across the entire company, not just at the plant level.” To successfully implement machine learning at scale, it is important to understand normal, operating baselines so that SOC teams can automate the identification of behavioral deviations and anomalies. Simplifying this process, Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine provides the necessary contextual endpoint data that is labeled appropriately and easy to visualize from an asset-centric point of view. Key features of the new OTML Engine include: Behavioral Ransomware Detection: Detect when an asset starts exhibiting behavior that is indicative of a ransomware attack. Service and Conversation Anomalies: Detect when asset starts communication using a service(s) outside of the learned behavior for the asset or communicating with asset(s) that are outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Communication Anomalies: Detect when external inbound and outbound communications are being made with an asset that is outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Traffic Volume Anomalies: Detect when an asset is sending/receiving a volume of traffic that is outside of the learned behavior. OT Network Visualizations: Visualize asset-based network connectivity. To learn more about Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine powered by Splunk, view the solution brief here: https://www.industrialdefender.com/solution-brief-splunk-otml About Industrial Defender Since 2006, Industrial Defender has been solving the challenge of safely collecting, monitoring, and managing OT asset data at scale, while providing cross-functional teams with a unified view of security. Their specialized solution is tailored to complex industrial control system environments by engineers with decades of hands-on OT experience. Easy integrations into the broader security and enterprise ecosystem empower IT teams with the same visibility, access, and situational awareness that they’re accustomed to on corporate networks.
