Ultima Markets Unveils First Sustainability Academy in the CFD Industry
SINGAPORE, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- has launched the first sustainability academy in the CFD industry, setting a key milestone within the financial services sector. Developed by the Ultima Impact Foundation, the educational initiative reflects the broker's belief that real progress begins with providing access to knowledge, from the experts to everyone. The sustainability academy features a curated series of short video lessons led by professors from globally respected universities, and top scientists working in some of the most influential organisations in the climate space. Drawing from their years of work in climate risk, natural capital, nature-based solutions and sustainable finance, every lesson distills complex ideas into simple, actionable messages. While much of this content is typically only available in graduate classes, Ultima Impact has chosen to make this content freely available to all, through a dedicated learning section on its website. The foundation hopes this will allow anyone to have the opportunity to better understand these global challenges. "Sustainability can feel complex and difficult to grasp, especially for those who are just starting to learn about it. Our goal with the academy is to demystify these topics and make them more approachable and relatable to everyone," said Jean Philippe, Director of the Ultima Impact Foundation. "These highly respected scientists and professors carry with them a huge wealth of knowledge, but too often their ideas remain within university walls. We wanted to bring their ideas out into the open, to connect academia with the public in a meaningful manner, thereby inspiring more people to engage, learn and take part in the global sustainability conversation." This initiative was created as part of Ultima Markets' broader sustainability agenda. As the first CFD broker to join the United Nations Global Compact, the company aligns its operations with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, using education and accessibility as tools to advance meaningful global progress. By ensuring the academy is open to everyone everywhere, we hope to create greater awareness and build a future for all," he concludes.

Resilient Digital Infrastructure Essential to Tackle AI-Driven Risks, Say Leading Cybersecurity Experts at GISEC Global
Top CISOs tackle AI threats, zero-trust adoption, and global cyber resilience at GISEC's elite CISO Circle Dubai, United Arab Emirates,May 2025: As AI-powered cyber threats escalate, the CISO Circle at GISEC Global 2025 emerged as the defining forum for cybersecurity leadership, convening over 200 global and regional Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to architect the next era of cyber resilience at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Launched in 2021, the CISO Circle – powered by Huawei – this year solidified its role as the nexus for actionable strategies, uniting public and private sectors to combat evolving risks. H.E. Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council, highlighted that with technology advancing, cybersecurity measures must always be at the top of the list for organisations. He said: 'Technology is here to stay. We're not going to deny or resist the wave of advancements we're seeing – whether it's quantum computing, the widespread adoption of cloud services, or the growing impact of AI. Cybersecurity, in particular, is now an essential part of every technological solution. That's why integrating cybersecurity into every layer of innovation is not optional – it's necessary.' Faisal Abdulaziz, Director of the Cybersecurity Threat Center of Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC), said if the industry wants to stay ahead of cyber criminals, a collective effort is fundamental and a series of strategic frameworks and regulations need to be put in place to enhance cybersecurity. He said: 'We must embrace collaboration. Cybersecurity is not a solo effort – it's a collective journey that must include the private sector, the public sector and international partners as we all share responsibility. 'We must go beyond just embracing innovation. We need strong governance – robust frameworks, transparent policies, and, above all, human judgment. Technology alone isn't enough. More importantly, AI is no longer a distant concept. It's the reality of today. But together, we have the opportunity to shape it – for a safer, smarter, and more secure tomorrow.' At a time where cybercrime damages are projected to reach USD $10.5 trillion globally by 2025, Eng. Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi, UAE Chief Security officer at Huawei, believes there are five core pillars that need to be part of a cybersecurity strategy: Zero Trust Architecture; AI for Security; Cyber Resilience; Security Awareness, and Culture and Supply Chain Transparency. He said: 'Cyber threats are evolving and so must we. By adopting Zero Trust, leveraging AI, and focusing on resilience and collaboration, we can strengthen our cybersecurity practices and create safer digital environments for everyone.' The audience also heard from Joe Sullivan, former Security Chief at Uber & META. He spoke on the importance of crisis leadership and said that companies should 'hire people who don't panic, practise crisis calm and communication approaches and build cross-functional trust before any crisis.' Held under the theme of 'Securing an AI-Powered Future, the 14th edition of GISEC Global saw Dubai World Trade Centre become the centre of the cybersecurity universe for three days from 6-8 May, welcoming 750 of the world's foremost names in cybersecurity, 450 global CISOs and futurists from over 160 countries, and 25,000 visitors across the three days – strengthening Dubai's position as a global cybersecurity leader. It was hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council, and supported by DESC, the UAE Ministry of Interior and Dubai Police. GISEC Global will take place next year at a new venue, Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City, from 5-7 May 2026, and the CISO Circle is expanding to GITEX Global – the world's largest tech and start-up event – and sister shows GITEX Africa and GITEX Europe.
