DALLAS – November 12, 2026 -- Asset Panda has launched Auto Discovery for its Asset Panda Pro platform, a feature that scans an organization's network for connected devices and adds them as asset records automatically. The company also added speech-to-text and text-to-speech to its Ursa AI assistant, with speech input covering about 100 languages and dialects.

Auto Discovery replaces two routes the release names: creating asset records one by one and importing spreadsheets. It works on devices connected to the network, so equipment that never joins the network still needs a manual record, as the feature is described.

CEO Rex Kurzius says IT teams manage increasingly complex device networks and "many still rely on spreadsheets and manual processes to maintain accurate asset records." The company says Auto Discovery gives a more comprehensive view of active IT assets and their statuses.

SAN FRANCISCO – November 12, 2026 -- Itaú Unibanco will use the Harness software delivery platform across its entire engineering organization, Harness said. The vendor describes the bank as the largest private-sector bank in Latin America.

According to Harness, the bank has thousands of engineers shipping software for millions of customers across digital banking, payments and platform services. Harness says it serves more than 1,000 large engineering organizations, so Itaú joins an existing customer base rather than opening a new one.

The bank will standardize delivery on governed templates, automated verification and policy-driven controls. Harness says this gives Itaú's teams faster builds, automated rollbacks and a consistent deployment experience across the bank's primary programming languages and cloud environments. The company also says security, audit and compliance requirements will be built into every pipeline by default.
