Here we go … let’s get into news for 2026:
- Commvault Unified Data Vault launches. Commvault launched its Unified Data Vault, enabling immutable protection for modern and custom workloads for S3-based applications. Unified Data Vault … gives teams a simple path to move S3-compatible backups directly into Commvault-managed, air-gapped storage where data automatically inherits encryption, deduplication, immutability, and policy-based governance. Commvault
- Keyless acquisition completed by Ping Identity. Ping Identity announced the completion of the acquisition of Keyless, to strengthen identity security controls. Keyless’ patented Zero-Knowledge Biometrics technology re-verifies the originally verified person with one glance, enabling lightning-fast multi-factor authentication and re-verification in under 300 milliseconds. Each re-verification uses advanced cryptographic techniques that ensure biometric data is never stored in a retrievable or reconstructable form. The result is a highly portable, privacy-first approach that eliminates the need for a dedicated device, while helping organizations counter deepfakes, impersonation, and account takeover. Ping Identity
- Rapid7 and ARMO partner for cloud runtime security. Rapid7 announced a partnership with ARMO for adding ARMO’s cloud application detection and response (CADR) capabilities to Rapid7’s Command platform. By adding continuous anomaly detection and real-time threat detection and response (D&R) across active cloud assets and workloads, this new offering gives security, development, and IT teams unified, threat-prioritized insight and faster response. Rapid7
- Absolute Security on cyber resilience. New research from Absolute Security found that none of its surveyed organizations had the ability to recover from a cyberattack within a day. When asked about recovery time, a majority (57%) reported their organizations took more than 4.5 days (on average) for full remediation and recovery, with 19% revealing recovery efforts stretched as long as two weeks. Absolute Security
- Unosecur and Prisma Cloud integration. Unosecur announced that it will integrate its IAMAnalyzer platform with Primsa Cloud, so that asset context from Primsa Cloud (e.g., sensitivity and exposure data) can be used proactively when evaluating identity access requests. Among other things, identity risk scores will be adjusted upward when the associated resources contain sensitive data types such as PII, PHI, financial records, or stored credentials/secrets, ensuring sensitive-access paths are visible immediately. Unosecur
- Mobile Adware surged in 2H 2025. Research from Malwarebytes showed a dramatic uptick in threats targeting Android users in 2H 2025, driven by changes in consumer behavior where people are significantly more likely to click a link on their phone than their laptop. Malwarebytes
- Infoblox acquires Axur for preemptive security capabilities. Infoblox announced the acquisition of Axur, for its AI-powered security capabilities that protect against threats beyond the perimeter. Axur uses AI to automate external threat discovery, validation, takedown and ongoing monitoring to prevent threats from returning, including notifying new phishing detections for takedown in under four minutes and achieving nearly 99 percent takedown success rates. Combined with Infoblox’s preemptive security capabilities, organizations can block communication with malicious infrastructure at the DNS layer while takedowns are in progress, helping reduce median attack uptime to hours rather than days. Network-level asset and IP attribution can help teams quickly identify ownership and remediate risk. Infoblox
