From the moment I met Jay, he displayed an unwavering commitment to my growth and development. Through his mentorship, my problem-solving, conflict management, and strategic planning skills have flourished, enabling me to lead with confidence and effectiveness. – Marielle R.
The entrepreneurial adventure is a tough, winding path filled with challenges and opportunities for growth. Many business leaders believe they must handle everything independently, but this mindset can hinder their progress and potential. The reality is that no one has all the answers. Seeking help, guidance, and support from others is crucial for achieving lasting success.
Jay Buenaflor’s career is a powerful testament to the principle that success is a collective journey. Reflecting on his experiences, Jay emphasizes that he owes his accomplishments to the invaluable support and guidance of those around him. From family and friends to colleagues, mentors, and influencers across the globe, every interaction has shaped him into the leader he is today.
With over 26 years of experience across Asia, Europe, and the USA, Jay has been instrumental in transforming businesses and nurturing leaders. Known as the “Biz Doc,” he has built a reputation for his dynamic leadership and innovative approach to business growth. He understands that true leadership is about finding the right people, delegating effectively, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
One of Jay’s core philosophies is the art and love of finding the right people. He genuinely cares for the well-being of those he works with, fostering a purpose-driven approach that ensures that both the individual and the organization benefit. This creates a win-win situation where everyone succeeds together.
Jay believes that building a successful team hinges on recognizing and cultivating each individual’s unique talents and potential. This often involves “learning to unlearn,” as Barry Diller puts it, and overcoming deeply held habits and beliefs that may stall progress.
As an entrepreneur or business leader, it’s crucial to recognize that you can’t do it alone. The myth of the lone genius is just that—a myth. Successful business leaders know that building a robust network and fostering collaboration are essential components of sustainable growth.
When you collaborate with others, you tap into a wealth of diverse perspectives. Learning from the experiences and mistakes of others can save you from costly errors. Also, engaging with mentors and peers allows you to gain insights that might take years to discover on your own. Jay’s seminars are renowned for creating environments where such valuable exchanges thrive.
To help entrepreneurs and business leaders harness the power of collaboration, Jay is hosting a seminar, “Ellana Cosmetics Untold: 0 to 9-Figure Journey,” on July 27-28, 2024 at Renaissance Tower, Ortigas Pasig.

Peris.ai, a group of practitioners with professional experience in cybersecurity, revealed in more detail about the Cipher Brain ransomware that has attacked the Temporary National Data Center since last June 20. 
Recently, a shocking incident occurred that resulted in the disruption of immigration services and various other public services. The disruption stemmed from a cyberattack carried out by Brain Cipher Ransomware.
The Pusat Data Nasional (PDN) was the main target of this attack since June 20. The cyberattack has crippled essential services like immigration services, leading to another impact on 210 instantiations. Although some services have been restored, the impact is still felt.
The Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara (BSSN) and related institutions immediately responded to this incident. Emergency measures were taken by sending an assistance team to the data center in Surabaya. The PDNS was built as an alternative because the main Pusat Data Nasional (PDN) is not yet completed.
The responsible party for this attack demanded a ransom of USD 8 million (approximately Rp 131 billion) to restore access to the system.
For context, PDN is managed by Telkom Group through Telkom Sigma. Telkom Indonesia’s Network & IT Solution Director, Herlan Wijanarko, confirmed the ransom demand. However, the compensation process is still under evaluation.
Brain Cipher Ransomware: An Overview
In parallel with the recent events, the Brain Cipher Ransomware is an emerging threat actor currently focusing on organizational targets. The following analysis details the methods, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and tactics used by this ransomware group.
Method of Delivery: Phishing
Brain Cipher Ransomware is delivered primarily through phishing campaigns. These campaigns often use deceptive emails to trick recipients into downloading and executing malicious files.
Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)
- MD5: 448f1796fe8de02194b21c0715e0a5f6

Impact
- T1486: Data Encryption for Impact
Detailed Analysis
The Brain Cipher Ransomware employs sophisticated techniques to infiltrate, propagate, and encrypt data within targeted networks. Its primary delivery method is through phishing emails, which often contain malicious attachments or links leading to malware downloads.
Once inside a network, the ransomware utilizes various tactics to escalate privileges, evade defenses, and gain access to sensitive information. For instance, it uses Windows Command Shell for execution and bypasses user account control for privilege escalation.
The ransomware’s discovery tactics include querying the registry, discovering system information, and software discovery. These actions allow the ransomware to map out the infected environment and identify high-value targets for encryption.
Credential access is a significant aspect of Brain Cipher’s methodology. It steals web session cookies, credentials from web browsers, and credentials stored in files, providing the attackers with the necessary information to further infiltrate the network or exfiltrate data.
Finally, the ransomware’s impact tactic is data encryption, which renders the victim’s data inaccessible until a ransom is paid. This tactic is effective in causing significant disruption to organizational operations, as seen in the recent attack on Indonesia’s National Data Center.
Mitigation and Response
To mitigate the threat posed by Brain Cipher Ransomware and similar attacks, organizations should adopt a multi-layered security approach. This includes:
- Email Security: Implementing robust email security solutions to detect and block phishing attempts.
-
User Training: Regularly training employees to recognize and report phishing emails.
-
Endpoint Security: Deploying advanced endpoint protection to detect and prevent malware execution.
-
Network Segmentation: Segregating critical systems and data to limit the spread of ransomware.
-
Backup Solutions: Maintaining regular backups of critical data and ensuring that backups are stored securely and offline.
-
Incident Response Planning: Developing and regularly updating incident response plans to ensure a swift and effective response to ransomware attacks.

• ASEAN is the most targeted region for expansion; nearly half expect “increased revenue and profit” in overseas business over the next three years
• Results of the “corporate survey on overseas business by Japanese companies” released
Tanabe Consulting Co., Ltd., a leading management consulting firm in Japan (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and Yodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Takahiko Wakamatsu, hereafter Tanabe Consulting), announces the results of the “Corporate Survey on Overseas Businesses.” This survey was conducted among corporate managers, executives, senior management, and those in charge of corporate planning departments throughout Japan. The survey results are as follows.
High Interest in Overseas Expansion: Approximately 80% of Japanese companies responded positively that they are either currently developing overseas business or would like to do so in the future. This indicates a strong interest in ongoing or future overseas business development.
Popular Regions for Expansion: ASEAN accounted for the largest number of countries and regions where Japanese companies are considering or expanding their overseas operations, making up approximately half of the total. About 40% of respondents cited “market growth potential and future prospects” as the reason for selecting a particular country or region for expansion.
Positive Business Outlook: About half of the Japanese companies expect their overseas businesses to see “increased sales and profits” over the next three years. Specifically, 49.4% of companies anticipate increased sales and profits, while only 3.1% foresee a decrease. This suggests that overseas business is currently the mainstay of growth for Japanese companies.
Importance of Market Potential: More than 40% of the respondents place importance on “market growth potential and future prospects” when entering or expanding their overseas business. The most common reason for selecting countries and regions for expansion was “market growth potential/future prospects” at 41.8%, highlighting the importance of promising markets in decision-making.
These findings highlight the growing focus and optimism of Japanese companies regarding international markets, particularly in the ASEAN region, and their expectations of positive business outcomes in the near future.
Insights from Tanabe Consulting’s expert consultants
About half of the companies engaged in overseas business anticipate “revenue and profit growth” over the next three years and have prioritized the development of new markets. However, securing and training global and specialized human resources, essential for business promotion, remains a significant challenge regardless of industry or company size.
According to the Bank of Japan’s “Short-Term Economic Survey of Enterprises in Japan” released in December 2023, approximately 70% of all Japanese companies reported a “not so good” outlook. In contrast, about half of the companies in our survey view their overseas business prospects as favorable over the next three years, with only 3.1% expecting a decline in sales and profits. This indicates that overseas business can be a catalyst for further growth in Japanese companies.

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 24, 2024 – Anthology, the leading provider of education solutions that
support the entire learner lifecycle, today announced the University of the Visayas, a province-wide
system of higher education in the Philippines, has selected Blackboard Learn Ultra as its new learning
management system (LMS). Known for innovative student programs, the University
of the Visayas aims to instill a culture of excellence in students through
academic training and lifelong learning, enhancing their leadership potential

review, including a pilot subscription from another vendor as a potential replacement for their current system. However, they concluded the piloted product was not as
user-friendly as anticipated and lacked the local support they needed.
They expanded their competitive review to include Blackboard by
Anthology. Thirty department heads from the University of Visayas attended a
Blackboard Learn workshop, where they got first-hand experience using its
industry-leading features like the AI Design Assistant.
“The feedback from the attending department heads was resounding,” said
University President Dr. Conrado E. Iñigo, Jr.
“They touted Blackboard’s ease of use, intuitiveness and logical,
flexible workflow; they felt very comfortable with the AI functionality in Blackboard,”
Dr. Iñigo added.
The University selected Blackboard as their new LMS and it will
replace their current platform.
The academic
institution will also implement Anthology’s digital content accessibility solution
(Ally) with Blackboard Learn, supporting their commitment to accessibility and
creating an inclusive environment for
everyone. Ally provides digital course content in multiple formats and
languages, a feature that is imperative to delivering an inclusive student
experience.
“We are thrilled to partner with the University of the Visayas,
a renowned institution dedicated to excellence and career success,” said Joe
Belenardo, Chief Revenue Officer at Anthology. “Our regional presence will
enable us to closely collaborate and support their mission of supporting
community development and the socioeconomic needs of the country through their
educational programs.”
