EARLY ADOPTION
Visual Data became one of the first adopters of the Trusted Partner Network’s (TPN) membership programme. This aims to guide companies through security issues like data leaks, breaches and hacks by raising industry awareness. TPN’s multi-tiered membership model encourages all sizes of media companies to assess and address content security throughout the supply chain. The programme offers internal communication between orgs as well as self-assessments on security best practices, plus up-to-date information on industry protocols. Given its global reach, Visual Data prioritises compliance with local security standards and cloud-based workflows. With TPN’s programme, Visual Data’s clients can validate its accreditation themselves, both saving time and building trust. TPN is owned by the Motion Picture Association.
APAC’S IoT
According to a joint poll by Telenor and OMDIA, APAC is scheduled to overtake the rest of the world in IoT adoption by 2030. APAC can be split into developed (South Korea, Japan, China and Australia) and emerging (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Thailand) IoT regions. China’s tech giants are driving the country’s IoT adoption. The rest of the region is more fragmented, with disparities in internet access, industrialisation and urbanisation. With growing population gaps between the nations’ metropolitan and rural zones, APAC faces a unique challenge, as certain subregions run the risk of getting left behind.
As of 2022, there were 14.5 billion IoT devices across the APAC region; by 2027, experts predict 38.9 billion. IoT devices include anything from smart watches to self-driving vehicles. Thus, their multiplication can impact almost any industry, with today’s main players being telecom providers, app developers and device manufacturers. In certain areas, like energy and utilities, enterprises will need to prioritise a sustainable approach; in others, like tech and healthcare, cybersecurity will be paramount. By successfully implementing IoT devices, APAC-based businesses can contribute to an increasingly globalised future.
