New Carbon Footprint Reporting Delivers Unmatched Insights, Optimizing Sustainability and Performance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperview, the leading cloud-based data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platform, today unveiled a suite of groundbreaking features set to transform data center management through detailed measurement and comprehensive sustainability tools.

At the heart of this is Hyperview’s new carbon footprint reporting system, providing granular insights that surpass traditional location-based methods. The initial offering provides location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with future releases set to include carbon footprint reporting down to the asset level. This phased approach enables a level of detailed analysis previously unseen in the industry, allowing for more informed, impactful operational decisions. By offering a holistic view of a data center’s environmental impact, from equipment performance to overall energy consumption, Hyperview is setting a new standard for sustainability management in the digital infrastructure sector.
“The timing of this release is crucial”, says President and CEO Jad Jebara. “As the data center industry faces mounting pressure to address its environmental impact. Data centers currently consume 1.5% of the global energy supply and emit 59 million metric tonnes of CO2 annually. Without significant intervention, experts project this consumption could skyrocket to 8% by 2030. Hyperview’s solutions enable targeted reduction strategies, addressing inefficiencies in IT equipment management and providing detailed emissions analysis.”
Key Highlights:
Phased Reporting Implementation: Initial offering includes location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with asset-level insights coming in future releases.Asset-Level Analysis: Enables impactful decision-making through detailed equipment, material, and power data.Predictive Capabilities: Offers current data and future predictions, surpassing competitors’ reliance on historical information.Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates need for additional professional services through automated data collection and presentation.Regulatory Compliance: Assists in navigating evolving regulations (SB 253, CSRD, EED) while improving ESG performance.Comprehensive Sustainability Tools:Carbon footprint tracking and managementUnlocking stranded power and cooling capacityMonitoring energy usage efficiency and kilowatt hours at rack-levelSetting rack-level thresholds for power and temperatureMonitoring temperature, Delta-T, and humidity”Hyperview’s precision in digital infrastructure management is akin to diagnosing a specific medical condition rather than broadly identifying an illness,” continues Jebara “While competitors might broadly identify issues, Hyperview pinpoints specific causes, enabling our clients to make targeted improvements, significantly reducing their carbon footprint and operational costs.”
These features allow clients to gain a detailed understanding of their energy consumption and identify areas for improvement, contributing to significant carbon footprint reductions. The platform’s detailed data helps clients understand their current situation and make accurate future predictions.
With this advanced DCIM suite, Hyperview reaffirms its position as a leader in data center management solutions, offering unparalleled tools for sustainability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. As the industry evolves, Hyperview remains at the forefront, driving innovation and enabling data centers to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Recorded Future Unveils AI-Driven Enhancements to Combat Ransomware Threats with Real-Time Intelligence

Published

on

recorded-future-unveils-ai-driven-enhancements-to-combat-ransomware-threats-with-real-time-intelligence

AI-Powered Threat Intelligence Delivers Enhanced Visibility, Faster Detection, and Proactive Response Across the Entire Ransomware Lifecycle
BOSTON, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Recorded Future, the world’s largest threat intelligence company, today announced new industry-first ransomware detection capabilities to proactively address threats across the entire attack lifecycle. These capabilities provide real-time visibility into the most pressing and unique risks facing organizations, including ransomware group operations and targeted victims within their specific ecosystems. Powered by Recorded Future AI, organizations receive automated, customized ransomware intelligence with AI-driven reporting, providing timely, actionable insights as an extension of their security teams.

Ransomware continues to rank as the top cybersecurity threat, with attacks rising over 70% in 2023 and $1 billion paid in ransoms. Attackers are shifting further from simple data encryption to more sophisticated extortion tactics, forcing organizations to deal with financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Despite major investments in cybersecurity, early detection continues to be a challenge, leaving networks exposed to ransomware. Recorded Future strengthens defenses in areas where EDR, MFA, and other detection tools fall short, providing critical coverage for more complete protection. To address these issues, Recorded Future is enhancing its existing capabilities to offer more comprehensive visibility, real-time insights, and early-stage threat detection through new features:
Ransomware Risk Profiles: Organizations can now monitor customized ransomware risk profiles that offer an end-to-end view of ransomware exposure, that are specific to their organization, helping to identify vulnerabilities and potential attack surface risks early. This empowers security teams to prioritize action and address threats before they escalate.Victimology & Actor Insights: Recorded Future provides real-time insights into ransomware groups’ activities, their victims, and targeted sectors such as specific industries, geographies, or supply chains. These insights are based on MITRE ATT&CK mappings and deep research from Recorded Future’s Insikt Group, enabling security teams to better understand threat actor operations and make proactive defense decisions.AI-Generated Reporting: With the power of Recorded Future AI, organizations can now automatically generate detailed, audience-specific ransomware intelligence reports. These reports provide leadership and security teams with timely, actionable insights, reducing manual effort and accelerating decision-making.”Recorded Future’s AI-powered Intelligence Cloud allows us to take a proactive stance to combating ransomware actors. With Recorded Future’s Threat Intelligence module we will be able to produce reports using AI Reporting with actionable insights on the highest priority threats to inform stakeholders across the organization. This will help us know how to best protect our organization, and increase our resilience.” – Jeremy Miller, Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, Nelnet
Ransomware attacks represent a complex and evolving challenge for organizations today. Despite extensive investments in detection tools, security teams often lack the visibility and early detection needed to thwart attacks. Recorded Future’s enhanced Threat Intelligence Module provides organizations with comprehensive visibility across the ransomware lifecycle, empowering them to take a proactive approach to defending against ransomware thereby improving resilience, and mitigating the financial, operational, and reputational damage caused by these attacks.
“While proactive defense and resilience to ransomware attacks are achievable with the right intelligence, an AI-driven approach puts security teams ahead of their adversaries’ next move. We’ve looked at the ransomware lifecycle and applied Recorded Future AI, combined with our threat intelligence and client telemetry, to create a single source of truth, defeating ransomware early for each one of our clients.” – Dr. Christopher Ahlberg, Co-founder and CEO, Recorded Future
