- [Ivanti] Sovereign endpoint management in Europe. Ivanti launched Ivanti Neurons for MDM – Sovereign Edition – EU, which offers European organizations an endpoint management platform that means European data sovereignty requirements. As a result of stringent European regulatory requirements, digital sovereignty has become an economic and regulatory imperative. New European initiatives are raising the bar for sovereign solutions that deliver verifiability, governance and resilience. This is particularly critical in endpoint management, as mobile endpoints often provide direct access to sensitive corporate data and therefore represent a key compliance and security risk. Ivanti’s Sovereign Cloud offering directly addresses this challenge by delivering modern, cloud‑based endpoint management that aligns with the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework and enables secure, compliant endpoint management for regulated organizations.

- [Cloudflare] Securing the AI attack surface. Cloudflare and Wiz are working together to secure the global AI attack surface, with capabilities for discovering shadow AI, inspect AI traffic in real time, and verify the efficacy of guardrails. Every new chatbot, copilot, or AI-powered search endpoint is a potential attack surface vulnerable to prompt injection, sensitive data exfiltration, and abuse. The challenge is knowing which ones exist across your web properties, whether they have security guardrails in place, and whether those guardrails are actually working. To help organizations understand their AI footprint and whether they have the necessary guardrails in place, CISOs need a single source of truth where they can better understand and secure their AI and cloud infrastructure.

- [Claroty] Better visibility for better protection of cyber-physical systems. Claroty added new visibility orchestration capabilities to its xDome offering, to strengthen visibility into and associated details on all assets for the purpose of improving security posture. e.g., Claroty xDome orchestrates a variety of collection methods—including Claroty Edge, active queries, and EDR integrations—to enrich the profiles of identified CPS assets. This ensures every device in the inventory moves from basic awareness to high-fidelity visibility, providing the deep attributes required for accurate risk assessment and maintenance. Claroty
- [Hornetsecurity] Not using, not ready. Hornetsecurity’s new research report finds that UK business leaders are unprepared to handle new AI-powered cyberattacks / threats, even while acknowledging the increased sophistication of attacks due to AI. Despite AI defence technologies sitting at the cutting edge of cybersecurity, a critical adoption gap remains: businesses are not yet fully leveraging these advanced defences available to them. Alarmingly, over a quarter of UK business leaders (26%) are still not using AI to enhance their cybersecurity defences. Meanwhile, cyber-attackers are using the latest AI to their advantage, effectively lowering the barrier to entry and driving an increase in sophisticated attacks. Hornetsecurity
