Palo Alto – November 10, 2026 -- Mesh Security has appointed five cybersecurity leaders from Zscaler, Ivanti, Sapiens, AMINA Bank and the Zero Trust research community to its strategic advisory board, as AI agents and non-human identities widen the enterprise attack surface.

Advisors will steer product priorities and board-level reporting

The five will give practitioner input on Mesh's product priorities, enterprise adoption, and board-level reporting and decision-making. Their combined experience spans cloud security, enterprise software, insurance technology, regulated banking and Zero Trust strategy.

Mesh CEO and co-founder Netanel (Neo) Azoulay said "attackers move across the boundaries between" security tools, and that the advisors will help Mesh show teams which attack paths are genuinely exploitable.

IRVINE – November 10, 2026 -- The U.S. Army is extending Boldyn Networks' BaseNet managed Wi-Fi service to all permanent party barracks at Fort Riley, Kansas, and Fort Wainwright, Alaska, after pilots at the two installations logged more than 700 terabytes of data.

Intergovernmental agreement with University of Alaska Fairbanks underpins the rollout

The expansion runs through an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA) with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. BaseNet is a fully managed residential Wi-Fi service. The pilots launched at Fort Riley in January 2026 and at Fort Wainwright in May 2026.

Each Soldier gets up to 10 devices and 1 Gbps at no cost

Under the expanded service, every Soldier receives an individual account supporting up to 10 personal devices, with speeds of up to 1 Gbps across those devices. Soldiers pay nothing. U.S.-based support is available 24/7/365.

GEORGE TOWN – November 10, 2026 -- Eightpoint Technologies has committed to cover grocery costs for the Nadine Andreas Residential Foster Home in the Cayman Islands for 12 months, starting November 1, 2026, under a new sponsorship agreement with the National Children's Voluntary Organisation (NCVO).

Sponsorship funds food supplies at a 10-child residential home

The Nadine Andreas Residential Foster Home provides 24-hour care for up to 10 children and young people aged 5 to 18 who are in need of protection. The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) places the children in its care. The sponsorship targets one daily operating need: nutritious meals throughout the year.

Anchorage – November 10, 2026 -- Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has launched InvestNorth, a state-sponsored infrastructure financing platform built on Plural's AssetOS, alongside a new state entity, Alaska Data Corporation LLC (AKDC), to attract data center investment to the state.

AKDC will use state capital alongside private developers to site data centers

AKDC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA). It will work with digital infrastructure developers to site distributed data centers in communities across Alaska. Its stated aim is to keep the value of the buildout in the state. Digital infrastructure is the first target industry, funded from capital the state has set aside for technology projects statewide.

SALT LAKE CITY – November 10, 2026 -- Fifty-eight percent of surveyed teams ship code faster than security reviews can keep up, according to a 2026 study supported by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), as the Linux Foundation initiative expands its AI security programs and adds three members.

Survey finds 60% of teams report more external packages from AI coding assistants

The State of AI Impact on Software Security and Cybersecurity 2026 report was supported by OpenSSF, ActiveState and the LF AI & Data Foundation. It found that 60% of respondents say AI coding assistants have increased the number of external packages in their codebases. OpenSSF says AI speeds up both code production and vulnerability discovery for attackers and defenders. Reporting windows are also shrinking under regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Seoul – November 10, 2026 -- MOVIN, a LiDAR-based 3D motion data AI company backed by NAVER D2SF, has raised KRW 10 billion in a Series A round to expand from markerless motion capture into motion data infrastructure for physical AI.

IMM Investment led the round, with participation from Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK) and Voyager Ventures. Existing investors Atinum Investment, NAVER D2SF and Schmidt made follow-on investments. It is NAVER D2SF's third consecutive investment in the company, after a 2023 seed round and a 2025 pre-Series A round. That pre-Series A raised KRW 4 billion.

SAN FRANCISCO – November 10, 2026 -- Toptal has launched Toptal AI, a full-stack AI services company that debuts with more than 200 PhDs in AI-related fields, 100 forward-deployed engineers and 15 new product lines. The unit targets frontier AI labs, enterprises and fast-growing startups.

Toptal AI builds, evaluates and deploys AI using a mix of open-weight and proprietary models. Clients keep full ownership and control of their AI systems and data.

Toptal AI signs 14 technology partners, including Anthropic and OpenAI

SAN FRANCISCO – November 10, 2026 -- The A-Comm Evidence Protocol Consortium has grown to 22 companies after A-Comm Technologies, Inc. confirmed eight additional founding members: AiPrise, AstraSync, Beltic, CartAI, Cartograph, Forter, SablePay and Trulioo.

The eight join 14 founding members announced on Oct. 28. The consortium stewards the A-Comm Evidence Protocol (AEP), an open standard for a tamper-evident record of agent-initiated transactions.

Each member gets one vote, and A-Comm Technologies holds no veto

Every company in the consortium holds a single vote, including A-Comm Technologies, which authored AEP and serves as interim secretariat. A-Comm Technologies has committed to transfer AEP to a neutral standards host, chosen by the members, within 12 months.

Armonk, N.Y. – November 10, 2026 -- Apptio, an IBM company, is rolling out native connections for leading frontier AI systems, aiming to close a visibility gap in which 85% of surveyed technology executives say they cannot see real-time AI spending in full.

The figure comes from an IBM Institute for Business Value study published in June 2026. It surveyed 2,000 senior technology executives across 33 geographies and 19 industries, in work conducted with Oxford Economics from January to April 2026. AI costs are spread across model providers, cloud infrastructure, applications and teams, which makes it hard to tell which initiatives deliver business value.

Yehuda, Israel – November 10, 2026 -- AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC) won the Best Connectivity/Infrastructure Solution category at UC Awards 2026, organized by UC Today, for its Operator Connect for Resellers offering, which lets channel partners activate Microsoft Teams PSTN calling for customers in minutes.
