HYCU® Unveils R-Shield™ to Deliver Total Cyber Resilience Coverage for SaaS, Cloud, and On-Premises IT Environments

Boston, Massachusetts, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HYCU, Inc., a leader for modern data protection for on–prem, cloud services, and SaaS, and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, announced Resiliency Shield (R–Shield™), an industry–first cyber resilience fabric built–in to its award–winning, flagship HYCU Data Resiliency Cloud (R–Cloud™) data protection platform. With R–Shield, customers now have unparalleled anomaly and ransomware detection capabilities, along with instant recovery to address the risk unprotected data creates for organizations worldwide.  

As much as 60% of data in use in companies today is unmanaged or left with little proper oversight and security measures to secure it. When coupled with the rise of both external threats due to malicious actors and ransomware and internal threats, organizations with multi–cloud deployments and distributed data face increasing risks that current legacy data protection solutions are unable to address. As much as 80% of attacks today are on fragmented cloud and SaaS applications. R–Shield is designed to protect and provide always–on detection and recovery capabilities for customers that need to combat cyber criminals who exploit fragmented IT environments with purpose–built attacks targeting VMs, data warehouses, finance applications, storage buckets, and git repositories as well as disruption from simple human error. 

“Most organizations have data across multiple clouds today and they face a critical gap between traditional backup solutions and comprehensive cyber resilience,” said Enrique Salem, Partner, Bain Capital. “What we've observed is that protection limited to virtual machines or specific workloads leaves dangerous blind spots across an enterprise's entire data estate. HYCU R–Shield represents exactly the kind of holistic approach that security leaders have been demanding – one that seamlessly integrates detection, protection, and recovery capabilities across all data sources. At Bain, we've consistently emphasized that true security requires this end–to–end perspective, and HYCU's innovation delivers precisely that. R–Shield is poised to fundamentally transform how organizations approach cyber resilience by addressing the costly problem of unprotected data across multi–cloud environments.” 

“What's been missing from data protection solutions to date is comprehensive protection for the entire data estate,” said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO of HYCU. “Most solutions offer only limited liability protection focused narrowly on VMs, leaving critical parts of the data estate exposed and difficult to recover. At HYCU, we've always had advanced instant recovery capabilities that are patented, and we're now applying this instant recovery technology for quicker detection to ensure cyber resilience is truly being met by enterprise backup and recovery solutions. With R–Shield, we're providing organizations with the ability to protect and recover data that was previously challenging at a minimum or nearly impossible to secure.” 

R–Shield is a new service available with the latest release of R–Cloud. A comprehensive cyber resilience solution architected and integrated in R–Cloud, R–Shield provides embedded security into every layer of the R–Cloud customer experience. R–Shield brings together advanced detection, fortified protection, and reliable recovery that is always on, always watching, and always ready.  

HYCU R–Shield, Key Building Block to Comprehensive Cyber Resilience

With R–Shield, customers can ensure their application data is always protected, observed, and ready to recover as quickly as possible in the event of an unanticipated outage:  

Always Protected ensures backups are invisible, impenetrable and available to all workloads: 

  • Hardened backup service. Built on a military–grade virtual appliance with DISA–STIG certification. 
  • Make backup data invisible. Near–zero footprint with backup data cloaking and an isolated, independent network. No proxy servers, agents, or gateways, with ease of upgrades eliminates vulnerabilities.  
  • R–Lock™ for Immutable Backups: Provides customer–owned, offsite, storage smart and cost–efficient immutable backups for on–prem, cloud, SaaS, and AI/ML workloads, enabling fast recovery from cloud–conscious attacks for data that was difficult to secure before. 

Always observing helps to detect new applications, anomalies and threats without compromising data governance and control:  

  • Active, at Source Malware Detection: Scans near–production copies of virtual data using rule–based and anomaly–driven detection without touching backup storage, with real–time alerts sent directly to customer SIEM systems—all without requiring customers to give up control of their data. 
  • SaaS, App–Level and Service Discovery: Customers can instantly visualize as–a–service infrastructure and apps used by department and expose unprotected applications.  
  • Anomaly Detection: Continuously monitors for suspicious activities across protected data sources for hybrid and SaaS workloads.  

Always Ready features help to recover from SaaS supply chain, cloud conscious, and ransomware attacks:  

  • Continuous Validation: Ensures backups are viable and ready for restoration, even for complex distributed data environments. 
  • Recovery Automation & Choice: Provides flexible, site–level or granular recovery to recover from large–scale supply chain attacks or specific data loss from insider threats.   
  • Offline Recovery: Ensures offsite, offline access to cloud and SaaS data —critical protection against supply–chain attacks that traditional solutions cannot address. 

With HYCU R–Shield, customers can now protect and recover data that was previously difficult to secure, leveraging these capabilities across all their data sources that HYCU protects. This comprehensive solution significantly increases resilience while reducing costs and minimizing the attack window, without requiring the substantial investments typically associated with separate detection infrastructure. 

For more information on HYCU R–Shield, visit HYCU R–Shield, or join Simon Taylor and Andy Fernandez on Tuesday, April 29 at 10:00 a.m. ET/4:00 p.m. CET for an unveiling webinar, “Full Stack Cyber Resilience for SaaS, Cloud and On–prem.” For more information on HYCU, follow us on X (formerly Twitter), connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. 

What The Industry Is Saying About HYCU R–Shield

“HYCU R–Shield represents a significant advancement in cyber resilience that addresses the critical challenge of full stack protection for fragmented IT environments across a host of deployments,” said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft President. “As organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats targeting their distributed data assets, R–Shield's comprehensive approach to detection, protection, and recovery provides military grade security that today's public sector enterprises and US Federal agencies demand. We're excited to work alongside HYCU and our reseller partners to deliver an innovative and powerful way to rapidly detect malware at the source without data leaving the customer’s environment to help organizations secure their entire data estate and maintain business continuity regardless of where their data resides.” 

“In soon to be released research from our recent Cube Research Cyber Resiliency Summit, there are fundamental shifts happening in how organizations approach security, resilience, and risk management. Data protection, and backup and recovery in particular, are becoming increasingly important elements in the overall Cyber Resilience framework,” said Christophe Bertrand, Principal Analyst, theCUBE Research. “HYCU continues to recognize the need to address cyber resilience across an entire organizational IT stack including on–premises, cloud, and SaaS. R–Shield is something that will benefit existing HYCU customers but should be of interest to anyone looking at ways to approach cyber resilience in an effective way for modern data protection.” 

“Cyber resilience has been a topic we have been covering for years. It’s grown in stature as the prevalence of ransomware attacks has become so prevalent,” said Jerome Wendt, CEO and Principal Analyst, DCIG, LLC. “However, it’s more than just ransomware prevention and detection. Organizations are more concerned about the resilience of their infrastructure, how quickly they can recover, and how quickly resilience is being facilitated with the solutions you are currently using. HYCU R–Shield is a powerful and new way for companies to leverage their existing R–Cloud platform to protect and recover valuable data and applications across not just on–premises but cloud and SaaS as well in a consistent and efficient manner. Credit to the team at HYCU for again driving needed innovation in the industry.”  

“It comes as no surprise to organizations today that addressing cyber resilience continues to be the #1 challenge IT departments face and many solutions are just not addressing it effectively,” said Philippe Nicolas, Analyst and Market Observer, Coldago Research. “Since the introduction of HYCU R–Cloud, the HYCU team has been able to create the building blocks to next–gen cyber resilience that addresses critical data across on–premises, cloud, and SaaS. HYCU R–Shield is the value–added service that takes those building blocks and adds impressive new capabilities to ensure companies can recover their data and effectively address handle threats from malicious actors and rogue insiders. I continue to be impressed by how much HYCU has delivered to address total coverage for cyber resilience in such a short amount of time.” 

“Cyber resilience remains a pressing issue for organizations, not because the threat is new, but because the complexity of today’s IT environments continues to grow. Businesses now operate across hybrid ecosystems, with critical data spread between on–prem systems, multiple cloud providers, and SaaS platforms,” said Robert Kramer, VP and Principal Analyst, Enterprises Data Technology, ERP & SCM, Moor Insights. “This is where solutions like HYCU R–Shield stand out as it is designed to address the reality of modern enterprise IT — enabling protection and recovery across environments without forcing companies to bolt together fragmented tools. HYCU’s goal is to simplify cyber resilience while covering the full data lifecycle.” 

“HYCU continues to address the challenges organizations face in protecting data whether that data is on–prem, in the cloud, or in a SaaS application,” said Chris M. Evans, Principal and Founder, Architecting IT. “Since the introduction of R–Cloud, a compelling SaaS data protection development platform, the team at HYCU created the foundation for many of the elements in what is now R–Shield. The ability to visualize your data estate, detect anomalies and ransomware, and recover quickly are must haves in any cyber resilience solution. R–Shield is a compelling addition to the R–Cloud platform, and it's a credit to the team at HYCU in creating ways to ensure no data, especially SaaS, is left unprotected.”

The Growth of One-Person Households

By 2018, the share of one-person households worldwide was estimated at 28%. Looking ahead, this figure is projected to reach 35% by the mid-21st century

By Joseph Chamie
PORTLAND, USA, Apr 24 2025 – In much of the past, few people lived alone. At the start of the 20th century, one-person households were relatively rare and are estimated to have accounted for less than 10% of all households worldwide.

By the middle of the 20th century, the number of one-person households in the world began to increase markedly. In addition, over the past several decades, one-person households have become more commonplace in many countries. Moreover, in some high-income, more developed countries, one-person households have become the dominant household type.

By 1985, the global proportion of one-person households is estimated to have reached about 23 percent. Several decades later, i.e., by 2018, the proportion of one-person households in the world is estimated to have increased to 28 percent. Regarding the future, the global proportion of one-person households by the middle of the 21st century is projected to reach 35% (Figure 1).

Currently, large differences exist among countries in the proportion of one-person households. In many low-income less developed countries, for example, the proportions of one-person households are relatively low, typically well below 10%. In many more developed countries, in contrast, one-person households represent a large proportion of households.

Among some countries, such as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Russia, the proportion of one-person households around 2020 exceeded 40%. Also, the proportions of one-person households in the world’s two most populous countries were 25% for China and 16% for India (Figure 2).

The proportions of single-person households in many countries increased markedly over the recent past. In the United States, for example, the proportion of one-person households tripled during the second half of the 20th century with the proportion having increased every decade from 1940 to 2020. The proportion of one-person households in the United States in 2020 reached approximately 28% (Figure 3).

More recently during the 21st century, one-person households increased significantly in a number of countries worldwide. For example, the proportions in one-person households increased by 50 percent in Japan and Denmark, nearly doubled in Russia and Norway, and tripled in China (Figure 4).

A number of major economic, social, cultural and demographic factors contributed to the increases in one-person households. In turn, those increases have led to a number of important consequences for individuals and societies.

Some of the major causes of single-person households include urbanization, a growing economy with rising incomes, financial independence, advanced education levels, high employment rates, and very importantly, improvements in the status of women. Later marriage, delayed childbearing, increased divorce and changing attitudes regarding the family and childbearing are also among the major factors that contributed to the rise of single-person households (Table 1).

 

By 2018, the share of one-person households worldwide was estimated to have risen to 28%. Looking ahead, this figure is projected to reach 35% by the mid-21st century

 

In addition, the demographic ageing of populations has been a potent factor contributing to the rise of one-person households. As age structures of populations become older coupled with the incidence of widowhood, the proportions of one-person households in countries have risen markedly among the elderly aged 65 years or older.

In most instances, the elderly have substantially higher proportions living in one-person households than other broad age groups. For example, the proportion of the elderly residing alone is often several times greater than the proportion for individuals below 30 years of age.

The proportions of single-person households in many countries increased markedly over the recent past. In the United States, for example, the proportion of one-person households tripled during the second half of the 20th century with the proportion having increased every decade from 1940 to 2020

Furthermore, in about two dozen countries, which are located primarily in Europe, more than one-third of the elderly are living in one-person households. Also, in some of those countries, such as Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania and Sweden, the proportion of the elderly living alone exceeds 40%.

Among the reported consequences of the rise in single-person households are greater independence, personal freedom, economic independence and self-fulfillment as well as having no children to raise. Some men and women, especially those during their middle ages, may thrive in one-person households.

However, living alone can contribute to stress, loneliness and physical and mental health issues, especially for elderly persons. Moreover, one-person households may face financial strain and increased debt due to having a single income provider.

In addition, men and women living in one-person households may experience reduced social support, feel socially isolated and are at increased risk of cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Those individuals, especially in the oldest age groups, are also at increased risk of having accidents and encountering safety hazards.

Admittedly, not every person who lives alone will experience physical, mental and social problems and face possible cognitive decline issues. It is also the case that living alone is not the same as feeling lonely.

According to surveys, most people living in single-person households indicate being satisfied with their situation. They report that they are doing reasonably well living alone, especially those who have maintained social connections and relations with friends and family.

However, the potential for difficulties to arise in single-person households certainly exists. And that potential is typically higher among the elderly, especially for the oldest age groups. The various risks and problems that may arise in single-person households need to be acknowledged and seriously evaluated by those who reside in such households.

The increases in single-person households also pose challenges for societies, especially more developed countries where the levels are currently the highest. Among those challenges are how to address social isolation, loneliness and potential physical and mental health consequences, especially among the oldest groups.

In addition to raising public awareness regarding the negative impact of loneliness, social connections and community engagement need to be promoted and outreach programs offered to those men and women who are experiencing social isolation.

It is important to recognize that in many countries residing in a single-person household is an individual’s personal choice. It is a lifestyle preference and those individuals are likely to be reasonably content living on their own.

However, for many, particularly those in the oldest age groups, living alone is frequently not a choice but rather a consequence of circumstances that are largely beyond their control.

Individuals who not by choice find themselves living alone may encounter loneliness and feel socially isolated. Those individuals tend to be at increased risk of experiencing physical and mental difficulties, including cognitive decline.

The relatively rapid growth in the numbers and proportions of one-person households across the globe has made it abundantly clear that governments worldwide are facing formidable challenges in providing the necessary support to individuals living alone, especially older adults.

Among the major challenges for governments are the provision of social support, safety measures and healthcare access for those in one-person households. Governments promoting social connections and community engagement as well as the provision of needed healthcare services can be meaningful contributions to reducing the risks of the potential physical and mental health difficulties for individuals living in one-person households.

‘Noboa Did Not Receive a Blank Cheque: He Will Have to Show Tangible Results’

By CIVICUS
Apr 24 2025 –  
CIVICUS discusses Ecuador’s presidential election with Jorge Tapia de los Reyes, Coordinator of the Democracy and Politics Department and the Political Funding Observatory of the Citizenship and Development Foundation (FCD). FCD is an Ecuadorian civil society organisation that promotes participation, citizen monitoring and open government.

On 13 April, Daniel Noboa, candidate for the National Democratic Action (ADN) movement, was elected president with around 56 per cent of the vote, comfortably beating Luisa González of the left-wing Citizen Revolution (RC) party. Noboa had been elected in October 2023 to complete the interrupted term of former President Guillermo Lasso, so this election will allow him to serve a full term. In a country with high levels of insecurity, the election was peaceful and turnout reached 83 per cent. Noboa’s ability to tackle organised crime will be key to the success of his government.

Jorge Tapia de los Reyes

How surprising was the scale of Noboa’s victory?

The election result surprised all political analysts. Polls had predicted a very close race, with differences of no more than two or three percentage points, roughly between 100,000 and 300,000 votes.

However, the reality on the ground was very different. Noboa won by a margin of more than 10 points, with a lead of over 1,200,000 votes. This phenomenon could be explained by what is known to political scientists as the ‘spiral of silence’ or ‘shame vote’: many voters hid their preference for Noboa in the polls or decided to support him at the last minute rather than spoil their vote.

What was Noboa’s campaign strategy in the face of growing insecurity?

None of the candidates presented solid or detailed policy proposals during the campaign. The electoral debate was dominated by personal attacks and strategies to discredit each other.

Nevertheless, insecurity emerged as the central issue, and this is where Noboa found his greatest strength. Ecuador is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of violence, with an alarming average of one violent death every hour in the first quarter of 2025, making it the most violent country in Latin America.

Noboa’s proposal took a security-focused and forceful approach. His rhetoric emphasised tangible action against organised crime, mafias and drug trafficking, which have spread terror among the population. A much-discussed strategic move was his meeting with Erik Prince, CEO of Blackwater, a controversial private security company with experience of US operations in conflict zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq. This meeting, criticised by progressives, reinforced his image as a candidate determined to tackle violence.

Noboa’s communications team also knew how to capitalise on his rival’s mistakes. While the RC questioned the current hegemony of the US dollar, Noboa positioned himself as a defender of monetary stability, thereby reinforcing dollarisation. While the RC proposed community-based solutions to insecurity, such as peace mediators, Noboa opted to strengthen the traditional security institutions of the armed forces and the national police. Ultimately, Noboa capitalised on collective fears of a potential return of the political group led by former president Rafael Correa, to which González belongs, and managed to position himself as the guarantor of stability and order.

Are opposition allegations of electoral fraud justified?

Absolutely not. The National Electoral Council (CNE) conducted a technically flawless operation that exceeded expectations. The verification and counting system allowed the results to be viewed transparently and in real time, eliminating any suspicion of manipulation.

Moreover, the size of the margin of victory makes any scenario of fraud mathematically implausible. Although the RC has denounced alleged irregularities such as unsigned ballot papers to justify its request for a recount, these allegations quickly lost credibility when the official results were announced. To order a recount, the CNE needs evidence, and there is none.

Additionally, on the morning after the election, representatives of some opposition parties, various national authorities and international observers from the Organization of American States and the European Union confirmed the integrity of the electoral process. This endorsement confirmed that, despite the challenges, Ecuador’s democratic institutions functioned properly.

What role did civil society play in ensuring transparent elections?

The role of organised citizens was crucial to the success of the democratic process. Through various monitoring and observation initiatives, civil society acted as an effective counterweight to potential irregularities.

The work of civil society went beyond election observation: we are committed to building an informed and critical citizenry. We understand democracy not only as the act of voting, but as a continuous process of education, information and participation. With this in mind, we set up a system to monitor and verify fake news on social media to combat disinformation and its harmful effects on the electoral process.

Many disinformation campaigns are specifically designed to create fear and apathy and discourage participation. Our work sought to counter these strategies by providing verified information and reminding people that only the CNE has the legal authority to issue official results or respond to reports of irregularities.

What are the main challenges facing Noboa’s government?

Although there will be continuity, this will be Noboa’s first full term in office, as his previous administration was a transitional period to complete the term of the previous president, Guillermo Lasso, after his early departure.

The most urgent and unavoidable challenge will be to control the spiral of violence. Noboa will have to implement effective strategies to drastically reduce homicide rates and restore security in public spaces. Civil society demands a comprehensive approach that goes beyond a purely punitive or militarised response, incorporating preventive and social inclusion programmes to offer viable alternatives to young people in vulnerable contexts, preventing their recruitment by criminal organisations.

On the economic front, the government faces an extremely fragile fiscal situation. Current revenue is insufficient to cover the state’s basic operating expenses. This problem was exacerbated during the election campaign, when around US$560 million was allocated to bonuses and extraordinary payments to various constituencies to secure their votes. It worked: citizens felt heard, but at the same time fiscal sustainability was compromised. The new government will have to balance public finances without shifting the burden of adjustment onto the most vulnerable groups, focusing on improving tax collection from large taxpayers and combating tax evasion.

Governance is another key challenge. Noboa will face a fragmented congress where no political force has a majority, which will require negotiation skills and consensus building to advance his legislative agenda.

In terms of international relations, Noboa will have to define Ecuador’s strategic position in the complex scenario of the trade war between China and the USA, both crucial trading partners for the Ecuadorian economy. The issue of migration will be particularly sensitive, considering that the stability of Ecuador’s dollarisation depends significantly on remittances sent by Ecuadorian migrants in the USA, many of whom are now victims of more restrictive immigration policies. Although Noboa has initiated bilateral talks on this issue, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to secure special protections for the Ecuadorian community against the mass deportations ordered by Donald Trump.

But it’s crucial to understand that Noboa did not receive a blank cheque. To a large extent, his victory represents a rejection of the RC’s political project rather than unconditional support for AND’s programme. Noboa will therefore have to build his own legitimacy based on tangible results in addressing the country’s most pressing problems.

As civil society, our commitment is to maintain active and constructive oversight of the government’s performance. Our role doesn’t end with the elections. It is essential that we remain organised to demand accountability, denounce potential abuses and defend democratic values. Only an alert and participatory citizenry can ensure the state fulfils its obligations.

Bitget repense et améliore son programme d’incitation à la liquidité en optimisant le niveau de remboursement des traders institutionnels

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 24 avr. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, première bourse de cryptomonnaies et société Web3, prévoit le lancement au 1er mai 2025 d’une version nouvellement améliorée de son programme d’incitation à la liquidité. La structure des frais devient plus compétitive dans cette nouvelle déclinaison du programme, qui propose aussi de meilleures récompenses et qui s’étend aux marchés spot et à terme. Cette mise à jour est déterminante et répond à l’engagement pris par Bitget en 2025 envers les investisseurs institutionnels, visant à améliorer la profondeur de la liquidité sur les marchés et l’efficacité du trading sur sa plateforme.

Il est question d’un nouveau système décliné en plusieurs niveaux et doté de mécanismes d’incitation parmi les meilleurs du marché, dont une réduction des frais « maker » pouvant respectivement aller jusqu’à –0,012 % et –0,005 % sur les marchés spot et à terme, et des frais « taker » correspondants commençant à seulement 0,02 % et 0,025 %. Les réductions des frais « maker » s’appliqueront pour la toute première fois aux principales paires de trading du marché à terme perpétuel BTCUSDT + ETHUSDT, ce qui favorisera nettement les récompenses destinées aux fournisseurs de liquidité et aux sociétés de trading haute fréquence. Près de 130 paires de contrats à terme bénéficient désormais des taux préférentiels de Bitget, et d’autres sont à suivre dans les prochains mois, à l’issue d’une veille régulière de la liquidité.

Pour rejoindre plus rapidement le programme, les nouveaux fournisseurs de liquidité peuvent remettre leurs historiques de trading pour se catégoriser au niveau supérieur et accéder immédiatement à de meilleurs taux et à un périmètre API supérieur.

« L’une de nos priorités absolues en 2025 consiste à élargir l’écosystème institutionnel de Bitget. En améliorant nos mécanismes d’incitation à la liquidité, nous entendons instaurer un environnement à la fois plus attractif et plus durable pour les market makers et les traders professionnels. Loin de se limiter à accentuer la profondeur du marché, une forte participation institutionnelle contribue à l’adoption massive des cryptomonnaies » indique Gracy Chen, CEO de Bitget.

Cette annonce fait suite à la récente amélioration des services de prêt institutionnels de Bitget, prenant désormais en charge plus de 50 actifs en garantie à l’appui de durées de prêt flexibles pouvant s’étendre jusqu’à 12 mois, et ainsi garantir un accès évolutif et efficace au capital aux institutions. En parallèle, Bitget a également inauguré le trading en direct exclusivement sur invitation pour son Compte unifié, en vue de permettre aux traders professionnels de gérer des positions spot, sur marge et à terme depuis une interface simplifiée. Ensemble, ces améliorations sont pleinement intégrées à la stratégie institutionnelle au sens large de Bitget, laquelle vise à mettre à disposition une infrastructure fluide et performante répondant aux besoins évolutifs des sociétés de trading sophistiquées.
