Delta Strengthens Global Security Strategy Through VIVOTEK and March Networks Collaboration

Delta Electronics has announced a new phase in the development of its security business by aligning its brands VIVOTEK and March Networks. The move, led by Delta’s Building Automation Business Group, focuses on integrating technologies and expanding the overall solutions portfolio. The collaboration aims to develop new vertical applications and strengthen the company’s position in the global security market.

VIVOTEK contributes advanced hardware and software solutions, including edge AI and its VORTEX cloud platform, while March Networks brings scalable video management systems with integrated business intelligence. By combining these capabilities, the two brands plan to deliver solutions based on artificial intelligence and data integration. Particular emphasis will be placed on generative AI-powered video search and proactive cloud-based alerting.

The two companies already operate across six continents, supported by R&D centers in Canada, Taiwan, Poland, and Italy, as well as a network of more than 1,100 partners worldwide. This infrastructure enables the development and deployment of solutions across sectors such as finance, retail, transportation, manufacturing, and smart cities.

At the same time, Delta continues to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities through automation and smart technologies, aiming to improve efficiency and product quality stability. The manufacturing segment will continue to operate independently, with further investments in research and development. “Integrating our security brands represents an important step in further growth and in strengthening our company’s innovation potential,” said Hong Wu, General Manager of Delta’s Building Automation Business Group.

AMBCG: New Partnership to Strengthen Data Protection and Security Standards

The Agency for Personal Data Protection and Free Access to Information and the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro have formalized their cooperation by signing a Memorandum, opening the way for a systematic improvement of data protection, access to information, and corporate security practices in Montenegro.

The Memorandum was signed by the Agency’s Director, Maja Žunjić Mitrović, and the Association’s President, Dragan Radulović, in the presence of representatives from both institutions, including Željko Rutović, President of the Agency’s Council, Mirjana Volkov, Head of the Agency’s Department for Cases and Complaints, Ana Novaković, Legal Advisor at the Agency, and Nebojša Brajević, Vice President of the Association of Security Managers of Montenegro.

The cooperation is based on the principles of partnership, transparency, and accountability, with the aim of strengthening professional capacities and aligning practices with European standards. Particular focus will be placed on continuous professional education, legislative improvements, and the development of professional and ethical standards in the fields of personal data protection and security risk management.

The Memorandum outlines joint activities, including the organization of professional conferences, seminars, and public discussions, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experience between the parties. It also opens opportunities for the development of joint projects and applications for international funding in areas of shared interest.

By signing the Memorandum, both parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation and advancing standards in areas of key importance for the protection of citizens’ rights and the development of a modern security system.

Warning of a New Wave of Smishing Attacks in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Fake Messages Exploit Institutional Identities

IDDEEA BiH has once again warned the public about an intensified, organized campaign of fraudulent SMS messages targeting citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These messages misuse the names of state institutions, including authorities responsible for traffic and security. Despite earlier alerts, the attacks have not subsided—in fact, new versions of the messages are emerging, featuring modified content and fake web addresses designed to imitate official domains.

According to available information, this is a classic form of digital fraud known as smishing, where attackers rely on pressure—such as alleged fines, deadlines, and legal consequences—to trick citizens into opening suspicious links and entering personal or financial data. Particularly concerning is the increasing misuse of the name of the Ministry of Interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with claims of alleged violations recorded through fictitious or manipulated systems such as “E-Policija.”

Officials from IDDEEA BiH emphasize that the agency neither issues nor collects traffic fines, nor does it send SMS messages containing payment links. They also remind citizens that the only official website of the Agency is www.iddeea.gov.ba, while any similar domain variations should be considered fraudulent.

Analysis of specific messages further confirms their lack of authenticity. In some cases, the sender uses foreign phone numbers—such as those registered in the Philippines—which is a clear indicator that the message does not originate from domestic institutions. In addition, the links included in these messages rely on so-called “lookalike” domains, which may appear legitimate at first glance but redirect users to malicious websites designed to steal data. A common tactic is also to instruct users to manually copy and paste the link into a browser, thereby bypassing security filters in messaging applications.

The Agency warns that this issue goes beyond a single institution and requires a coordinated response from relevant authorities. It highlights the urgent need for more proactive engagement by law enforcement and security agencies, as well as close cooperation with telecom operators to identify the sources of these messages, block fraudulent domains, and protect citizens.

Citizens are advised to exercise maximum caution: do not open suspicious links, do not enter personal information, and do not make any payments based on such messages. In case of doubt, it is recommended to verify the information through official channels or consult trusted sources who can confirm the legitimacy of the message.

Experts further warn that these campaigns are increasingly using advanced social engineering techniques, targeting users’ sense of urgency and fear. For this reason, they stress that awareness and caution remain the most effective defense—because attackers rely on quick and impulsive reactions.

Global Cybersecurity Market Set to Reach $160 Billion by 2033

According to Grand View Research, the global cybersecurity services market is entering a phase of strong growth, driven by rapid digitalization and increasingly complex threats affecting users and companies worldwide. In this context, the market reached a value of $53.64 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $160.95 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%, clearly reflecting the ongoing demand for advanced security solutions.

At the same time, the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and machine learning is further complicating the IT landscape, expanding the attack surface and increasing companies’ exposure to cyber threats. In response to these challenges, companies are increasingly turning to specialized service providers to improve risk management and ensure faster, more effective incident response.

Within this environment, managed security services are gaining particular momentum, enabling companies to access advanced tools and expertise without the need to build large in-house teams. At the same time, the expansion of 5G networks and the continued growth in the number of IoT devices are adding further complexity to the security landscape, creating a need for more flexible and adaptive protection models. As a result, the Zero Trust approach, along with the use of AI-driven threat detection, is rapidly becoming a standard in modern security strategies.

Sectors such as finance and government continue to face the greatest pressure, as their handling of sensitive data makes them among the most frequent targets of cyberattacks. In this environment, cybersecurity is increasingly being recognized as a fundamental pillar of business stability and long-term resilience.

Finally, among the key companies shaping global trends in this field are Accenture, AT&T, Atos, Capgemini, Cisco Systems, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, DXC Technology, IBM and Rapid7, whose solutions and services continue to shape the evolution of the global cybersecurity market.
