ArmourZero Secures Strategic Angel Investment to Accelerate Enterprise Cybersecurity Growth in Asia and the Middle East

Funding from Yang Teramat Mulia Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri enables regional market expansion and strengthens strategic enterprise partnerships

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ArmourZero, a cybersecurity company delivering automated vulnerability management powered by AI-driven remediation suggestions, announced today that it has received a strategic angel investment from YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri. The investment will support ArmourZero's expansion across ASEAN, North Asia, and West Asia (the Middle East), opening new doors for enterprises and building stronger trust with regional clients.

"Often we are mistaken as a reseller that resells other solutions or a service-oriented company instead of a deep-tech cybersecurity product company. Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever, and organisations need intelligent, automated solutions to respond in real time. This partnership accelerates ArmourZero's ability to reach key markets and build strategic relationships, ensuring our AI-driven solutions can deliver tangible impact where it matters most in particular when it comes to application security," said Tho Kit Hoong, Co-founder & CEO of ArmourZero.

YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri, who chairs the Malaysia-Saudi Arabia Business Council (MSBC), commented: "ArmourZero is addressing a critical gap in cybersecurity with a strong AI-driven approach to safeguard all business applications. Our investment reflects confidence in their technology and its potential to set new standards in automated application security for the region."

AI and the Rising Urgency in Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence has accelerated innovation in software development, with 84% of developers now using AI-generated code (often referred to as "vibe coding") to build faster while increasing exposure to potential vulnerabilities.

A 2025 study by Schreiber & Tippe analysing 7,703 AI-generated code files found over 4,200 distinct vulnerabilities across 77 weakness types, with Python-based code showing vulnerability rates up to 18%. As AI becomes embedded in modern development workflows, the risk of introducing exploitable flaws into production systems continues to grow.

At the same time, IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that organisations using AI and automation in their security operations reduced average breach costs by up to USD 1.9 million compared to those without such technologies, underscoring the value of proactive, technology-driven security.

These findings highlight why AI and automation security are essential for modern software development. By applying AI to guide remediation and verify potential vulnerabilities, ArmourZero enables businesses to strengthen application security with greater speed and confidence.

Continuous Innovation

ArmourZero continues to advance its technology roadmap to address emerging enterprise risks. As part of its commitment to strengthening organisational resilience, the company will launch its API Security solution this month, addressing one of the most critical blind spots by empowering software developers and cybersecurity teams to automatically discover and remediate API related vulnerabilities early and prevent costly breaches before they impact operations.

ArmourZero Secures Strategic Angel Investment to Accelerate Enterprise Cybersecurity Growth in Asia and the Middle East

SINGAPORE, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantage Markets, a CFD multi-asset broker, today announced the launch of its Premium Unlimited Account, introducing Unlimited Leverage*, which allows traders to access higher leverage while operating within a structured risk management system.

The launch reflects Vantage's ongoing focus on strengthening trading infrastructure for active traders, combining flexible leverage conditions with execution stability and built-in risk controls designed for modern markets.

Unlimited leverage* has historically been available only on a limited number of trading platforms due to the complexity of the systems required. As trading strategies become more sophisticated and traders increasingly manage positions across multiple asset classes, demand has grown for more adaptable margin conditions.

A More Flexible Approach to Trading Margin

Most brokers operate with fixed leverage limits, typically ranging between 1:500 and 1:1000, to control margin exposure. While these limits provide stability, they can also restrict how traders allocate capital across different trades.

The Premium Unlimited Account introduces a more flexible approach. By lowering margin requirements per position while maintaining built-in risk controls, traders can manage positions across instruments such as foreign exchange, commodities, indices, and other CFD markets. The system continues monitoring exposure during periods of market volatility, subject to risk controls and leverage restrictions.

The account also introduces a 0% stop-out feature in select markets, allowing positions to remain open while the system continues monitoring margin levels and account exposure.

Risk Controls Built Into the Platform

Offering unlimited leverage* requires systems capable of monitoring risk in real time. The Premium Unlimited Account operates with automated controls designed to maintain stable trading conditions.

Key features include:

• Dynamic leverage system – Leverage adjusts automatically based on account equity and overall exposure
• Automated margin monitoring – The platform continuously tracks margin levels and risk thresholds
• Real-time equity tracking – Risk limits adjust automatically as account balances change
• Negative balance protection – Traders cannot lose more than the funds deposited into their account

"Unlimited leverage* only works when supported by strong margin monitoring and risk controls," said Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy & Trading Officer at Vantage. "Our focus is on building trading products that give clients greater flexibility while maintaining the stability and protection they expect from a trusted broker."

The launch reflects Vantage's continued investment in trading infrastructure and tools designed to support traders in increasingly dynamic markets.
