HIZENERGY Presented Energy Storage Solutions at Two European Exhibitions

In September, HIZENERGY took part in two energy exhibitions across Western and Southeast Europe, showcasing its self-developed commercial and industrial (C&I) battery energy storage portfolio to local EPC contractors, distribution partners and end customers.

At the Sustainable Solutions Kortrijk exhibition, HIZENERGY featured core products including the PCS-125K and PCS-460K power units, together with the liquid-cooled ES125kW-261/313kWh-LE storage system.

Quick Heal Foundation Launches Cyber Shikshit Gaon Initiative at Arjuni

 

Quick Heal Foundation, the CSR arm of Quick Heal Technologies, a provider of cybersecurity solutions, has launched its Cyber Shikshit Gaon initiative in Arjuni Village, Kolhapur, with the aim of making it a cyber-safe village. As part of Quick Heal Foundation’s flagship Cyber Shiksha, Cyber Suraksha programme, the initiative takes a community-wide approach to cybersecurity, bringing together structured awareness sessions, household outreach and hands-on digital security interventions to equip residents with the knowledge and confidence to prevent, identify and report cyber threats.

As digital access expands, awareness of online risks has not kept pace. People may unknowingly expose personal information through third-party applications, unknown platforms, excessive app permissions and unverified links. Such exposure can put not only an individual at risk, but also family members, friends and business contacts connected through their device. Built on three core pillars - Prevention, Protection and Reporting - the Cyber Shikshit Gaon initiative goes beyond conventional awareness to deliver hands-on digital protection and establish a sustainable village-level response ecosystem.
