Boomi Brings Sovereign Data Integration to Australia

 

New Sydney-based deployment delivers fast, secure, and compliant data movement for enterprises managing AI, analytics, and regulatory risk


SYDNEY, July 31 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Boomi™, the leader in AI-driven automation, today announced the local availability of Boomi Data Integration from within an Australian data centre, enabling local enterprises to move data faster, more securely, and in compliance with national regulations.

The launch comes after Boomi acquired Rivery, a modern data integration provider. This underscores Boomi’s strategic investment in local infrastructure and its commitment to solving Australia’s most pressing data challenges.

With a Sydney-based instance of Boomi Data Integration now live, Australian organisations can deploy log-based Change Data Capture (CDC) and near-real-time Extract, Load, and Transform (ELT) pipelines entirely onshore. That means sensitive data remains within national borders, latency is reduced, and there’s clear alignment with local data sovereignty laws.

“A strong addition to Boomi’s data platform alongside DataHub, Boomi Data Integration brings big data capabilities to Australian and New Zealanders, all within the same no-code/low-code experience Boomi users know and trust,” said Nikolai Blackie, Co-founder, Adaptiv, an Australasian data and integration consultancy and Boomi partner.

The launch supports regulatory requirements under the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and sector-specific frameworks including APRA CPS 234 and the My Health Records Act. Boomi’s customers span highly regulated industries including financial services, government, education, and healthcare, all of which stand to benefit from improved compliance, confidence, and data agility.

This latest development strengthens Boomi’s unified platform strategy, which aims to bring integration, API management, data management, and AI readiness under a single layer of AI-driven intelligence. It also reduces reliance on disconnected point solutions, helping customers simplify their technology stacks and accelerate digital transformation — securely and at scale.

“AI agents, predictive models, and real-time analytics all demand one thing: trusted data, delivered quickly and securely,” said David Irecki, Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific and Japan at Boomi. “But in Australia, compliance is just as critical as speed, especially when you start to consider sectors like finance, government, and healthcare.”

“With local deployment of Boomi Data Integration, we’re removing any compliance barriers to AI-related to data sovereignty, while giving our partners and end-users the near-real-time data capabilities they need to innovate.”

K Wave Media Announces Investment and Strategic Partnership from Galaxy Digital to Accelerate Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

NEW YORK and SEOUL, South Korea, July 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K Wave Media (Nasdaq: KWM), a Bitcoin treasury and Korean cultural innovation company, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY), one of the world's leading digital asset investment firms.

Galaxy will serve as an Asset Manager and Strategic Advisor to KWM, and will make an investment in KWM, as KWM executes its Bitcoin treasury strategy and expands access to institutional capital.

Galaxy’s endorsement and investment underscore the strength of KWM’s model — combining Korea’s global cultural influence with a long-term commitment to Bitcoin as the foundation of a modern corporate treasury.

“Galaxy shares our belief that Bitcoin is not just a reserve asset, but a generational monetary shift,” said Ted Kim, CEO of K Wave Media. “Their support reflects growing global confidence in our strategy and in Korea’s role as a key market for digital transformation.”

KWM has already taken bold steps toward becoming a Bitcoin-forward public company and now has access to close to $1 billion in institutional capital to support its strategic initiatives.

KWM recently acquired 88 Bitcoin — a symbol of prosperity in Asian markets — and is aggressively scaling its reserves, signaling one of the boldest BTC strategies among public companies globally.

Galaxy will provide guidance on:
- Structuring and executing Bitcoin treasury purchases
- Risk management and custody frameworks
- Long-term alignment with institutional-grade financial infrastructure

“Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is evolving from theory to action, and K Wave Media is at the forefront of that shift. Their commitment to a Bitcoin-native treasury model reflects a growing movement among forward-looking public companies,” said Steve Kurz, Global Head of Asset Management at Galaxy. “Galaxy is excited to support KWM with institutional-grade asset management and strategic guidance as they build a model for what a digitally aligned, culturally connected public company can look like in the Bitcoin era.”

KWM’s model blends Korean media influence, digital-native financial infrastructure, and Web3-era innovation — creating a public company blueprint built for the Bitcoin age.

With its cross-border strategy, KWM targets Korean retail, U.S. institutions, and global crypto markets — creating a powerful multi-market flywheel.

The company is actively exploring additional partnerships and acquisitions to expand its treasury position and cultural reach.

This partnership and investment represent a new phase in KWM’s evolution — one that redefines what it means to be a public company in the era of Bitcoin and borderless capital.

Bitget Wraps Up Anti-Scam Month with Over 65% of Participants Successfully Identifying Crypto Fraud Tactics

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has successfully concluded its 2025 Anti-Scam Month, a global initiative aimed at elevating user awareness and resilience against Web3 fraud. Throughout June, Bitget rolled out a series of gamified education tools, expert collaborations, and industry research to confront the rising threat of AI-enabled scams and security breaches across the crypto ecosystem.

At the heart of the campaign was the Smarter Eyes Challenge, an interactive comic-based mini-game simulating real-life scam scenarios—from phishing and social engineering to fake token approvals. While only 8.60% of participants spotted all traps on their first attempt, a striking 65.41% eventually passed all three levels after receiving guided security clues, underscoring both the scale of the awareness gap and the campaign’s tangible impact.

Bitget published six in-depth blog posts tackling common attack vectors like SMS spoofing, fake apps, and high-risk tokens. Over 80% of users scored full marks in follow-up security quizzes, signaling a sharp improvement in scam detection capabilities following the campaign’s educational content.

Another flagship milestone was the release of Bitget’s 2025 Anti-Scam Research Report, co-authored with blockchain security leaders SlowMist and Elliptic. The report revealed that global crypto scam losses surpassed $4.6 billion in 2024, with deepfakes and social engineering responsible for the majority of high-value attacks. The findings spotlighted the growing sophistication of AI-driven fraud, including synthetic public figure videos, Trojan-laced job offers, and fake Zoom calls used to deceive victims.

Throughout the month, Bitget convened key voices in Web3 security—including Hacken, GoPlus, BlockSec, and Security Alliance—for an Anti-Scam X Space discussion. Experts weighed in on future threats, the evolving role of collaboration, and how users, platforms, and audit firms can work together to build a safer digital asset environment.

“Anti-Scam Month reflects our belief that education is the first line of defense in crypto security,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “By turning passive users into active defenders, we’re laying the groundwork for a more resilient ecosystem. And this is only the beginning—the Anti-Scam Hub will remain open year-round as a permanent resource for our global community.”

Echoing this sentiment, Yevheniia Broshevan, Co-Founder & CBDO at Hacken, said, “Anti-Scam Month by Bitget is a fantastic initiative and a powerful example for the industry, demonstrating how companies can raise awareness, educate users, and reduce the risk of future hacks. Education truly is a vital part of this journey.”

Yajin (Andy) Zhou, Co-Founder & CEO at BlockSec, added, “Hackers study user habits, such as copying addresses from transaction histories. Security efforts must focus on proactive defenses rather than blaming users. Security is not a solo battlefield. Blockchain platforms, compliance tools, and security firms must share threat intelligence to build a united defense system.”

Michael Lewellen, Technical Council at Security Alliance, emphasized, “Security isn't about being impossible to hack or scam users. It's just being hard enough to discourage threat actors from investing effort in the attempt. We need to harden Web3 infrastructure enough so that this ecosystem is no longer an easy, profitable target.”

The Bitget Anti-Scam Hub, now permanently live, offers users ongoing access to practical safety guides, real-time scam indicators, the official verification channel, and a crypto safety kit with 24/7 global support.
