Knutsford – November 05, 2026 -- PortSwigger, the company behind Burp Suite, has made Burp AT available to enterprises. The agentic pentesting product lets security teams delegate anything from guided investigations to autonomous execution of defined tests, while Burp's tooling layer, not the AI model, enforces scope and permissions.

Burp AT gives AI agents professional pentesting tools and research-led methods

Burp AT combines specialist Burp tools, pentesting skills developed with PortSwigger Research, and application context. Agents plan their testing approach, use Burp's web security testing tools, and adapt as they learn. The tools are built to handle the malformed traffic and unusual behaviour inherent to security testing.

An orchestration layer ties the tools into a complete test, and agents follow defined pentesting methodologies. PortSwigger says this produces consistent, comparable results across every application tested.

Chicago – November 05, 2026 -- Keeper Security has launched Self-Managed Keeper, a self-hosted deployment of its Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that runs without any external cloud dependency, extending the vendor into air-gapped and Operational Technology (OT) networks.

Self-Managed Keeper runs in Docker containers on customer-controlled Linux infrastructure

The platform delivers credential management, secrets management and privileged session management through the KeeperPAM Gateway. The package also includes KeeperDB, the Keeper Admin Console and Keeper APIs.

Customers can deploy on-premises, in private cloud, in fully air-gapped networks or in OT environments. They decide where the system runs, how it is networked and who can access it.

Berlin – November 05, 2026 -- About 70 decision-makers from media, civil society, politics, culture and business will meet in Berlin on November 19-20, 2026, to develop alternatives to dependence on tech platforms. The CONVOY LAB is the first gathering of the new initiative THE CONVOY, and Ferda Ataman, Germany's Independent Federal Commissioner for Anti-Discrimination, has taken on its patronage.

Three organizations launch THE CONVOY under the motto GEMEINSAM UNABHÄNGIG

The independent VOCER Institute for Digital Resilience and the Future of Technology Institute (FOTI) initiated the project. The C&U Baumeister Foundation for Sustainable Technology supports it.

The initiative targets a shared dilemma. Politicians, media houses, NGOs, public administrations, cultural institutions and companies want to reduce their reliance on tech platforms. As long as each acts alone, they still depend on those platforms for reach.

TAIPEI – November 04, 2026 -- Chunghwa Telecom posted third-quarter 2026 net income attributable to parent stockholders of NT$12.22 billion, up 29.5% year over year, on revenue that rose 16.7% to NT$67.59 billion. Revenue, operating income, net income and EPS of NT$1.57 all exceeded the high end of quarterly guidance.

Operating income climbed 27.1% to NT$15.38 billion, lifting the operating margin to 22.65% from 20.89% a year earlier. EBITDA rose 16.1% to NT$25.66 billion, though the EBITDA margin eased to 37.97% from 38.17%. Chairman and CEO Chih-Cheng Chien said revenue, profit and EPS reached their highest levels for any third quarter since 2009, and that a one-off gain from asset revitalization contributed to profit.

Irvine, Calif. – November 04, 2026 -- Only 22% of organizations surveyed by Gartner have scaled artificial intelligence across multiple business units or adopted an AI-first approach, even though 85% of surveyed functional leaders plan to increase AI spending in 2026, according to enterprise technology provider Trace3. The company says the gap becomes expensive when tools reach departments faster than they can coordinate purchasing, prepare data, set safeguards and measure returns.

Deloitte data shows tool access outpacing process redesign

Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report found that workforce access to sanctioned AI tools rose from under 40% to around 60% within a year. Only 30% of surveyed organizations were redesigning key processes around AI.

AUSTIN, Texas – November 04, 2026 -- Scale Computing says nearly 10,000 interactions with its TCO calculator show an average 40% lower total cost of ownership than VMware, as the edge computing vendor targets customers weighing renewals under VMware's new packaging and per-core licensing.

The same calculator data produced an average modeled return on investment of 119%. The Data Center Intelligence Group (DCIG) also named Scale Computing a Top 5 VMware Alternative for 2026-27.

Scale Computing frames VMware renewals as a distributed-site problem

The company argues that for organizations with many locations, a renewal affects staffing, maintenance, migration and site-level resilience, not only the licensing quote. Sites with minimal or no on-site IT staff face extra site visits when hardware fails, patches are missed or configurations drift.
