GAMBIT CYBER UNVEILS VIZIER AI FOR AUTONOMOUS CYBERSECURITY OPERATIONS
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Gambit Cyber B.V., a Netherlands-headquartered cybersecurity company, has launched Vizier AI, its next-generation Agentic Security Workflow Automation platform.
According to Gambit Cyber in a statement, the platform uses coordinated artificial intelligence (AI) agents to continuously monitor threats, orchestrate incident response, and manage cyber risk without requiring manual intervention from security teams.
“The launch of Vizier AI represents a fundamental shift in how organisations approach cyber defence. We are not simply automating existing workflows; we are deploying a coordinated intelligence layer that thinks, analyses, and acts continuously on behalf of security teams.
“AI agents operating in concert can process signals, correlate threats, and orchestrate responses at a speed and scale that is simply beyond human capacity alone,” said Gambit Cyber Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anuj Kumar.
The launch addresses a widening gap between the complexity of today’s threat landscape and the shrinking resources available to corporate security operations.
Built as a core component of the KnightGuard platform, Vizier AI acts as an autonomous Security Intelligence Workspace and leverages a coordinated network of autonomous AI agents that continuously monitor threats, analyse security data, orchestrate workflows, and deliver actionable insights for faster and more informed decision-making.
The platform enables organisations to scale security operations through AI-driven automation while maintaining visibility, governance, and control across their exposure management programmes.
Its key capabilities include threat detection through continuous AI-driven attack surface monitoring, workflow automation to reduce manual security tasks, accelerated incident response using autonomous AI agents, and intelligence generation by transforming raw security data into actionable insights.

AM BEST UPGRADES FUSURE REINSURANCE ON CAPITAL STRENGTH, TENCENT BACKING
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has upgraded the financial strength rating to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit ratings to “a” (Excellent) from “a-” (Excellent) of Hong Kong’s FuSure Reinsurance Company Limited (FuSure).
The outlook of these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting FuSure’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
According to AM Best in a statement, the ratings also reflect the implicit and explicit support from its ultimate parent, Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent).
The upgrade reflects FuSure’s strengthened balance sheet, supported by two rounds of capital injections from shareholders and anticipated additional capital commitments in the medium term, alongside the company’s successful execution of its business plan.
Since its establishment in 2021, FuSure has focused on building its presence in health reinsurance in the Greater China region while leveraging Tencent’s support in business development, product innovation, and distribution.
While health reinsurance remains its core business, FuSure has been diversifying across product lines, geographies, distribution channels, and client segments, including expansion into long-term health reinsurance and commercial property business.
The company’s strong balance sheet is supported by risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level as of year-end 2025 and in projected years, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio. Additional supporting factors include its diversified and liquid investment portfolio, mainly in fixed income and cash equivalents, and a conservative reinsurance strategy with high-credit-quality retrocessionaires.
FuSure has delivered positive operating performance since its second year of operation and continues to execute its business plan with discipline, consistently meeting its budgeted bottom line, supported largely by stable investment income from its fixed-income portfolio.
AM Best expects FuSure to continue benefiting from its parent group through both explicit capital support and implicit advantages, including competitive strengths in health product design and pricing sophistication.

EXPEREO REPORT: FIRMS RUSH INTO AI INVESTMENT AMID ROI CONCERNS
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service provider, stated that enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) spending is rising rapidly as organisations race to deploy the technology faster than they can assess its effectiveness.
According to the latest IDC InfoBrief commissioned by Expereo, about 70 per cent of organisations are investing in AI, driven by its potential and concerns about falling behind competitors, although many continue to lag in disciplined return on investment (ROI) evaluation.
In a statement, Expereo said one in five organisations (20 per cent) admitted they were investing aggressively in AI with limited evaluation, largely due to fears of being left behind.
Based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across Europe, the United States and Asia Pacific (APAC), the report found that AI has become one of the world's top technology investment priorities, with 51 per cent of organisations saying they plan to prioritise AI or machine learning over the next 12 months.
However, returns have yet to match expectations. Only 19 per cent of organisations surveyed said their AI implementations had exceeded expectations, while just five per cent reported significantly exceeding them.
The most frequently cited reasons for underperformance were inadequate or poor-quality training data (51 per cent), higher-than-expected costs or failure to achieve ROI (47 per cent), and AI systems not performing as expected (46 per cent).
The report also highlighted a network and infrastructure readiness gap. Among organisations whose AI implementations failed to meet expectations, 26 per cent cited inadequate network or connectivity performance as a contributing factor. Looking ahead, 54 per cent said they would require more flexible and scalable networks to thrive in an AI-driven environment.
The pressure to invest is most pronounced in APAC, where 37 per cent of organisations admitted investing aggressively in AI due to fears of being left behind, nearly double the global average and significantly higher than the United States (10 per cent) and Europe (13 per cent).
APAC also leads in AI adoption, with 35 per cent of organisations reporting extensive AI use across their operations, compared with a global average of 25 per cent.
The survey also found growing concerns over the long-term risks of AI investment. Some 54 per cent of technology leaders cited new security risks as a significant future threat, while 39 per cent expressed concern about losing visibility over AI-related costs and ROI once the technology becomes embedded across the business.

JAPAN LIFE INSURERS’ REINSURANCE USE MORE THAN DOUBLED SINCE 2020 - AM BEST
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Japan’s life insurers have increasingly relied on reinsurance in recent years, with the overall cession rate as a percentage of total gross premium written for the segment rising to more than 24 per cent in 2023 and 2024 from just under 10 per cent in 2020, according to a new AM Best report.
According to Best’s Special Report, “Japan Life Insurers Increase Use of Reinsurance,” the implementation of the Japan Insurance Capital Standard, or J-ICS, at the end of March 2026 has prompted insurers to increase their use of reinsurance as solvency ratios become more sensitive to interest-rate movements, asset-liability mismatches, policy lapses, and longevity and mortality risks.
“Japanese life insurers have been increasingly using asset-intensive reinsurance to transfer investment, longevity, and insurance risks from capital-intensive annuity and long-term life insurance blocks to third-party reinsurers ahead of the implementation of J-ICS.
“The maturity and size of Japan’s life/annuity insurance market make it an attractive opportunity for reinsurers providing asset-intensive reinsurance solutions,” said AM Best senior industry research analyst, Cynthia Ang in a statement.
According to the report, the heightened activity has led to a sharp increase in reinsurance leverage, with the industry aggregate rising to 14.8 per cent at the end of 2024 from 4.8 per cent in 2020. The metric measures reinsurance ceded as a percentage of capital and surplus.
AM Best's analysis showed that Dai-ichi Frontier Life Insurance Co, Prudential Gibraltar Financial Life Insurance, and MetLife Insurance K.K. each recorded reinsurance leverage ratios exceeding 500 per cent in 2024.
While only an estimated one to two per cent of total in-force individual life insurance and annuity business was ceded to reinsurers in fiscal years 2023 and 2024, cessions are expected to increase as asset-intensive and offshore reinsurance become more widely used by Japanese life insurers.
Japan’s Financial Services Agency is tightening oversight of such transactions due to concerns over private equity involvement, asset liquidity, and complex cross-border collateral arrangements, the report said.

INSTRUQT REPORT FINDS 92 PCT FACE DEVELOPER ADOPTION CHALLENGES
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Instruqt has released its annual report, The State of Developer Adoption, revealing that 92 per cent of respondents face at least one significant developer adoption challenge.
According to Instruqt in a statement, the most cited causes are misalignment across teams (27 per cent), technology complexity (26 per cent), and the difficulty of keeping content accurate as products ship weekly (25 per cent).
The report is the first independent benchmark examining how marketing, sales and education teams are responding to the widening gap between the pace of artificial intelligence (AI) feature releases and the pace at which customers can adopt them.
Based on a SlashData 2026 survey involving 424 marketing, sales and developer education practitioners at North American software companies, the report found that organisations using hands-on learning experiences were approximately 50 per cent more likely to report developers reaching productivity within two months than those that did not.
The findings also point to a structural shift in how business-to-business (B2B) software companies need to operate as AI adoption accelerates.
Other notable findings include developer communities remaining the most underutilised adoption lever, high-impact pre-sales experiences being underused, differing definitions of successful hands-on experiences across teams, and growing AI adoption despite declining confidence in some applications.
For developer-focused software companies, the report suggests that customer adoption is becoming an increasingly important determinant of growth as innovation cycles accelerate.
As part of broader adoption strategies, many fast-growing software companies have invested heavily in hands-on education, self-paced labs, interactive product experiences and developer enablement programmes.
Earlier this month, Google Cloud Security selected Instruqt to launch its Agentic SOC experience at Google Cloud Next 2026, training 50 practitioners in a single workshop with a dedicated Vertex AI environment for each participant.

ANCIENT ROYAL ANTIQUITIES HEADLINE TIMELINE AUCTIONS SALE
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- TimeLine Auctions showcased museum-quality antiquities from Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and the western Mediterranean at its Antiquities & Ancient Art Auction, featuring rare artefacts linked to ancient kings, religious figures and classical civilisations.
Among the headline lots is a hemispherical bronze bowl bearing the cuneiform name of Manishtushu, who ruled the Akkadian Empire around 2270 to 2255 B.C., according to TimeLine Auctions in a statement.
The auction also feature an agate eye-bead inscribed with the name of Kurigalzu II and a banded agate cylinder seal carrying a Sumerian prayer to the storm god Adad from the Kassite period.
The Egyptian collection is led by a 40-centimetre basalt figure of the Saite customs official Wahibre, depicted kneeling while supporting an offering basin. The sculpture’s components, separated in the 19th century and held in different collections, have been reunited for auction for the first time.
Other Egyptian highlights include a 70-centimetre hollow-cast bronze figure of Osiris dating to the 26th Dynasty and a painted wooden stele linking Amun at Luxor with Osiris at Abydos.
In the Greek section, a sixth-century B.C. black-figure pyxis depicting the wedding procession of an Athenian bride and a fifth-century B.C. red-figure column krater featuring Europa alongside a Dionysian scene are featured.
The sale will also feature the Gravona bronzes, a group of 10 artefacts recovered from a railway cutting in Corsica in the 1880s and later documented by archaeologist Robert Forrer in 1924.
Following the live auction, TimeLine will continue with an online-only sale from June 3, covering a broad range of ancient art categories. The programme will conclude with an Ancient Coins auction on June 9 and 10 featuring weights, tokens, medals and books.
The auction is scheduled to begin at 1pm British Summer Time, with bidding available through absentee bids, telephone participation and online platforms. Worldwide shipping will be offered, with payments accepted in British pounds sterling.
