SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan 23, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ZeroPath Corp., a Y Combinator-backed cybersecurity company, today announced the public launch of its LLM-driven code security platform. The company was previously noted for using its platform to find critical zero-day vulnerabilities in major open-source projects. Alongside the launch, the company also announced the completion of its seed funding round led by SurgePoint Capital, with Y Combinator and angel investor Paul Graham both participating.ZeroPath's security testing platform, among the first of its kind, attempts to combine deep program analysis with large language models to detect more complex security vulnerabilities. The system has previously demonstrated remarkable success in identifying critical security flaws in large open-source repositories, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, authorization bypasses, and business logic flaws."Traditional security tools often rely on pattern matching and predefined rules, which can miss complex vulnerabilities that don't fit known patterns," said Raphael Karger, CTO of ZeroPath. "Our platform's ability to understand context and business logic allows it to identify sophisticated security issues that would typically require manual code review by expert security researchers."Unusual for the application security industry, the platform does not rely on rule-based detection of code security problems; instead, it uses large language models to scan large swaths of code and validate potential vulnerabilities before reporting them. The company's approach has proven particularly effective in discovering business logic flaws and authentication vulnerabilities that traditionally require extensive manual review to identify. The approach has also been touted for its ability to provide a lower false positive rate than traditional static analysis tools.For more information about ZeroPath's AI-powered security platform, visit https://www.zeropath.comAbout ZeroPath Corp.:ZeroPath Corp. is a San Francisco-based cybersecurity company that combines artificial intelligence with deep program analysis to detect complex security vulnerabilities.

To help these companies seize new opportunities and develop their e-commerce capabilities in the mainland, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has launched the second edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival by rolling out expert-led seminars focusing specifically on the mainland e-commerce market. The seminars cover practical topics such as online shopping platform operation strategies and features, commonly used payment tools, the effective building of a fan base, collaboration plans with influencers, marketing skills and live-streaming production. One-on-one consultancy services are also being provided to help SMEs get the latest information and enhance their competitiveness, helping them tap into the rapidly changing mainland e-commerce market.Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said that e-commerce continues to develop rapidly and is now a key driving force for global trade and economic growth. The HKTDC has been supporting government policies by promoting business digital transformation, encouraging local SMEs to embrace e-commerce and offering various activities to support them through the business transition that is required."In order to deepen Hong Kong businesses' understanding of mainland e-commerce platforms and gain practical experience, the HKTDC is holding the second edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, which this year includes newly launched seminars with marketing experts providing practical knowledge relating to e-commerce in the mainland,” Mr Liang said. “This will give local SMEs a better understanding of e-commerce operations and help them formulate strategies appropriate to their products and brands, laying a solid foundation for entering the e-commerce sector. Additionally, one-on-one consultancy services will be offered, with mainland e-commerce or online marketing experts advising local SMEs on market development strategies that can help to promote their particular products or brands."Mr Liang added that trade relations between Hong Kong and the mainland are especially close, giving local SMEs a great advantage in terms of expanding into the mainland e-commerce market. "According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, national online retails sales for 2024 were RMB15.5 trillion, up 7.2% compared to 2023. The mainland leads the way in the world's online retail market, which underscores the huge business potential for Hong Kong’s SMEs."Many local companies struggle to create promotion plans for their quality brands and products that address the preferences of their target customers, largely because they have not fully understood how the mainland e-commerce market operates. Some SMEs also face operational challenges such as pricing strategies, inventory management and the terms of collaboration with influencers, preventing them from fully capturing the opportunities presented by e-commerce. The newly launched HKTDC seminars directly address the major difficulties faced by local SMEs in the e-commerce realm. Two seminars have already been held, one in December and one last week, in which experts shared insights on the mainland's e-commerce market profile and provided practical guidance in areas such as legal compliance, specific platform requirements and common pitfalls, receiving an enthusiastic response from participating companies.Details of upcoming seminars:DateTopicsContent27 February 2025Traditional e- commerce platformsHelp SMEs understand the features of traditional e-commerce platforms (Taobao/Tmall, JD.com, etc); examine how Hong Kong brands can choose the most suitable platform to drive sales and establish a strong market influenceApril 2025Social e-commerce market platformsExplore practical strategies for opening stores on social e-commerce platforms (such as Douyin, WeChat and Xiaohongshu) to expand into new customer groupsMay 2025Marketing on social media and private trafficGuide Hong Kong brands and products on utilising the popular social e-commerce platforms in the mainland, such as Douyin, WeChat and Xiaohongshu; look at how to build “organic communities” that emphasise natural dissemination; create highly popular “viral content” and convert social media interactions into actual salesJune 2025Influencer marketing and e-commerceExamine the opportunities and challenges in live-streaming e-commerce; introduce other online marketing strategies aside from live-streaming e-commerce; explore how to select the most suitable influencers to collaborate and leverage their fame in mainland to enhance brand awareness and drive salesSeminars already successfully held:18 December 2024Overview of the mainland e-commerce market, sharing on the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival and introduction to the second editionUnderstand the unique e-commerce environment in the mainland; explore the shopping habits of mainland consumers and discuss the significance and impact on brands; share key learnings from the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival and introduce the second edition16 January 2025Practical guide to e-commerceProvide practical guidance on legal compliance, specific platform requirements and common pitfalls; introduce some of the commonly used payment tools in the mainland; guide local SMEs on how to set up accounts for receiving payments; and highlight tax issues that need special attention in mainland e-commerce operationsSecond edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival returns in AugustThe HKTDC will organise the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August 2025, aiming to help SMEs seize e-commerce opportunities in the mainland. The festival is divided into four parts, including the newly added seminars and one-on-one consultancy services mentioned above and the return of the popular Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce sessions from last year. Given the diversity of online marketing methods in the mainland, there are different ways for SMEs to increase brand exposure other than live-streaming sales. The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will introduce customised marketing and channel services, such as incorporating more channels through “planting seeds” strategies. This will allow participating local SMEs to choose the most suitable services based on their product features, helping them gain a deeper understanding of marketing methods in the mainland e-commerce market.More details on the services being made available through the Hong Kong Shopping Festival will be announced by the HKTDC in due course.In addition, the HKTDC Digital Academy and Design Gallery’s (DG) cross-border e-commerce shops on Taobao and JD International have been offering comprehensive support to Hong Kong SMEs to leverage diverse e-commerce and digital marketing channels to explore mainland opportunities. The DG’s network of 70 physical sales outlets in the mainland serve as an ideal platform to promote Hong Kong brands in the region. Meanwhile, the HKTDC’s DG Studio programme helps to connect local businesses with physical retailers and e-commerce platforms in the ASEAN region.Websites- Pre-registration for the mainland e-commerce seminar on 27 February: https://bit.ly/4hdhELO- Details and registration for the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival: https://bit.ly/4h1FpX2Photo download: https://bit.ly/40HS5x2The second seminar being held as part of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival ran last week, introducing commonly used payment tools in the mainland and receiving support from many Hong Kong businesses.In 2024, the first Hong Kong Shopping Festival gathered more than 230 brands and invited renowned mainland KOLs to host livestreams of e-commerce sessions for Hong Kong SMEs, which received an enthusiastic response.Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication & Public Affairs Department:HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Katy Wong Tel: (852) 2584 4524 Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.orgHKTDC Media Room: http://mediaroom.hktdc.comAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
