- Immersive Secure with AI. Immersive added new AI capabilities to its Immersive One platform, to speed the launch of offensive labs, provide in-lab coaching to end users, and test organizational decision making. e.g., using the strategic research engine, subject matter experts can generate technically accurate and highly relevant labs in minutes. Authors can also update existing content in real time to reflect the shifting threat landscape. Immersive
- Fortra acquired Red Macros Factory. Fortra acquired Red Macros Factory, to bring cutting-edge capabilities to red team engagements. Red Macros Factory is an initial access framework designed to reduce the time and resources it takes to create a deployment-ready, fully weaponized, obfuscated payload. RMF generates weaponized file format vectors across Windows and macOS, covering a wide range of initial access scenarios. It provides realistic, complex out-of-the-box infection scenarios in minutes that would normally take days to develop. Fortra
- Cobalt in Microsoft Teams. Cobalt announced that organizations using Microsoft Teams can add a connection to the Cobalt Core pentester community in a Teams channel, so communication, engagement management, and the presentation of results can happen directly within Teams, not some other portal. See the Microsoft Marketplace for the Cobalt app. Cobalt
- Beyond paper-only cybersecurity plans. CloudRange argues that multiple regulations require organizations to move towards hands-on testing, scenario-based exercises, and cyber simulations for proving cyber resilience, e.g., PS21/3, DORA, NYDFS, and more. This reflects a maturing understanding that old-school tabletop exercises, unrehearsed IR playbooks, and reactive posture aren’t enough. Threat-led simulations, scenario testing, and operational stress-testing are now seen as core components of modern cyber readiness. CloudRange
- OCR for detecting sensitive data in print. Fasoo released Smart Print 4.4, with new OCR capabilities to detect sensitive data in image files and image-based PDFs. Traditionally, print security solutions relied on text-based analysis, making it difficult to detect sensitive information when documents were printed as images or image-based PDFs. As a result, highly sensitive data, including personal information, financial records, and proprietary designs, could bypass detection and be exposed through printed materials. Fasoo Smart Print v4.4 addresses this challenge by applying OCR technology to extract text from image-based documents, enabling consistent sensitive data detection across all printouts. Fasoo
- European expansion for Delinea via Climb Channel Solutions. Delinea’s distribution partnership with Climb Channel Solutions is being extended to Europe, with an initial focus on Ireland, the UK, and DACH. The partnership to date has focused on North America. Among other activities, Climb will also host partner launch events in London, Dublin, and Munich in Q1 2026, helping partners to understand Delinea’s platform and offering practical guidance on strengthening trust, resilience, and real-time identity security as AI adoption continues to accelerate.
