Sangfor Technologies Unveils Sangfor Athena: A Bold New Brand for Its Cybersecurity Business
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sangfor Technologies, a leading global provider of cybersecurity and cloud computing solutions, proudly announces the launch of Sangfor Athena, the new brand identity for its cybersecurity business. This new brand brings together Sangfor's advanced security technologies under one unified name, marking a strategic evolution in its commitment to delivering intelligent, integrated, and proactive cyber defense.
Sangfor Athena blends cutting-edge AI with powerful product synergy, empowering organizations to take a proactive stance against today's sophisticated cyber threats.
The Sangfor Athena brand was first introduced through a soft launch during the recent Sangfor International Roadshows, where it was exclusively previewed to local audiences of customers and partners in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, the Philippines, Italy, Türkiye, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Initial feedback showed strong alignment with market needs and confirmed the demand for a more AI-driven, solution-focused approach to cybersecurity.
Sangfor Athena: Outsmart Cyber Threats with SynergyAI
Inspired by Athena—the symbol of wisdom and warfare in Greek mythology—Sangfor Athena embodies strategic security and powerful protection. Just as Athena wielded wisdom and weaponry in perfect harmony, Sangfor Athena unites cutting-edge AI with advanced security tools to create an intelligent and cohesive security framework.
At the heart of Sangfor Athena is SynergyAI —Sangfor's vision of AI-driven and integrated cybersecurity. Synergy represents the powerful collaboration between cloud-based and on-premises infrastructures, between solutions and services, and between security and cloud computing. By infusing AI across this ecosystem, SynergyAI delivers a streamlined and end-to-end security infrastructure that not only enhances threat detection and response but also reduces complexity. It empowers organizations to shift from a reactive stance to a proactive one—anticipating, adapting to, and outsmarting evolving cyber threats with speed and precision.
Athena personifies this concept through her six symbolic elements:
Shield: Impenetrable defenses against advanced cyber threats
Spear: Fast, precise, and proactive response to active attacks
Helmet: Robust protection for critical systems and sensitive data
Owl: Deep visibility and insight into security events
Wisdom & Strategy: Transforming fragmented tools into an intelligent and unified security framework
Olive Tree: Delivering peace of mind so organizations can thrive securely
Basis for the New Brand
The new brand marks more than a name change; it's a reorganization of Sangfor's security portfolio to enhance product clarity, usability, and recognition.
In the past, Sangfor's cybersecurity offerings were spread across multiple individually named products, including Network Secure, Endpoint Secure, and Cyber Command. As the product portfolio expanded, it became increasingly difficult for customers to remember and understand how these individual products address their needs. Today's cybersecurity challenges are complex and multidimensional, and point solutions alone are no longer enough. What organizations need are integrated solutions—combinations of technologies that work seamlessly together to fully resolve their security challenges.
'Our mission has always been to Make Your Digital Transformation Simpler and Secure,' said Darren Du, Vice President of Sangfor International Market. 'We recognize that 'simpler' means more than easy-to-use products and streamlined operations; it also means having a brand that's memorable and offerings that align with customer needs. Sangfor Athena brings clarity and confidence to our customers as they navigate increasingly complex cybersecurity landscapes.'
The Three Pillars of Sangfor Athena
Under the Sangfor Athena brand, cybersecurity offerings will now be organized into three series:
1. Sangfor Athena Foundation
Main Offerings: Athena NGFW (Next Generation Firewall), Athena EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform), Athena SWG (Secure Web Gateway), and Athena NDR (Network Detection and Response)
Focus: Network and endpoint security, and core components of Sangfor's XDR and SASE platforms.
2. Sangfor Athena Security Operations
Main Offerings: Athena XDR (Extended Detection and Response) and Athena MDR (Managed Detection and Response), both enhanced with Sangfor Security GPT
Focus: Building full-fledged, AI-driven security operations by addressing the needs across people, technology, and processes.
Notably, Sangfor was recently honored with the Frost & Sullivan 2025 APAC XDR Customer Value Leadership Recognition, demonstrating its ability to meet market demands and deliver superior customer outcomes.

3. Sangfor Athena Cloud Security
Main Offerings: Athena SASE (Secure Access Service Edge)
Focus: Providing secure and reliable access to cloud services, SaaS applications, data centers, and the internet across all business locations and remote users.
Together, these three pillars provide comprehensive protection across the entire organization—from core to edge and on-premises to cloud—addressing today's most pressing security challenges: defending against sophisticated attacks, managing complex security operations, and securing hybrid and cloud-first environments.

KBRA Releases Research – Potential OBBBA Implications for Litigation Finance ABS
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases research examining the potential implications for litigation finance ABS stemming from proposed measures under the Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act (TPLFA), which is currently included in the U.S. Senate's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Litigation finance has a long history and, in recent years, has established itself as a niche segment in the asset-backed securities (ABS) market. However, the TPLFA could significantly alter the economics of this evolving structured finance asset class, as it proposes substantial new taxes on profits from third-party litigation funding. Litigation finance ABS transactions, which are typically backed by nonrecourse advances to plaintiffs in personal injury and other civil cases, could face meaningful structural and liquidity challenges if the legislation is enacted. Click here to view the report. Related Publication Litigation Finance ABS: Not Settling for Less About KBRA KBRA, one of the major credit rating agencies, is registered in the U.S., EU, and the UK. KBRA is recognized as a Qualified Rating Agency in Taiwan, and is also a Designated Rating Organization for structured finance ratings in Canada.
