Chattanooga, Tenn. – September 29, 2026 -- Fenix24 has deployed its Argos99 recoverability intelligence platform across more than 200 enterprise environments, now monitoring over 2.5 million assets and servers worldwide, the company announced.

Argos99 platform expands to 200-plus client environments worldwide

The SaaS platform, built from lessons across more than 500 real ransomware recoveries, maps every asset, dependency, backup, identity, and policy state governing an organization's recovery capability. Unlike earlier tools that focused on asset visibility alone, Argos99 reads policies alongside live data to flag drift from required configurations. Gartner named Fenix24 a Cool Vendor in its September 2026 Coolest Vendor Innovations in Cyber Resilience report, specifically citing the Argos99 platform.

Austin, Texas – September 29, 2026 -- CyberRatings.org has published new Cloud Network Firewall (CNFW) test results showing security effectiveness among nine evaluated products ranging from 0% to 99.95%, with only four earning a Recommended rating.

Four vendors clear the bar with 99.7% or higher security effectiveness

Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall, HPE Juniper Networking vSRX Next Generation Firewall, Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Next-Generation Firewall, and Versa Networks Next Generation Firewall each achieved 99.7% or higher in Security Effectiveness, earning Recommended ratings. Tests were conducted by NSS Labs, CyberRatings' official testing partner, using the Cloud Network Firewall Test Methodology v4.1.

San Jose – September 28, 2026 -- Tensor has achieved ISO/SAE 21434 certification with zero non-conformities, clearing a cybersecurity audit conducted by Applus+ IDIADA on the engineering processes governing its Robocar platform.

Certification aligns Tensor with UN R155 cybersecurity type approval across 60-plus countries

The zero-findings result confirms Tensor's Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) meets the requirements underlying UN Regulation No. 155, which governs cybersecurity type approval in markets including the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan and South Korea. The certification opens the path toward vehicle homologation and UN R155 type approval in those regions.

Dallas – September 28, 2026 -- Conifers has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Standalone AI SOC Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment (doc # US54127026, September 2026), the company announced.

Conifers' CognitiveSOC platform unifies fragmented security operations into one adaptive system

The recognition arrives as security operations centers confront autonomous agents built on frontier models capable of discovering vulnerabilities and moving across systems at machine speed. Conifers built its CognitiveSOCTM platform to connect threat intelligence, threat hunting, detection engineering, investigation, and remediation into a single continuously adapting operating layer, replacing disconnected tools and manual handoffs. Every CognitiveSOC decision includes a reasoning trace analysts can inspect, with machine-speed actions constrained by permissions, policies, and approval thresholds set by security teams.

Stockholm – – September 28, 2026 -- More than half of senior enterprise leaders, 58%, have delayed, scaled back or added safeguards to strategic initiatives over the past two years due to concerns about their network provider, according to a new report from Arelion.

The Stockholm-based connectivity firm commissioned research firm Savanta to survey 518 senior enterprise network decision-makers across the US, UK, Germany and France, all from organizations with more than 2,000 employees. The findings appear in Arelion's report, 'The trust illusion: Why AI and digital transformation need more than a reliable network.'

Dallas – September 28, 2026 -- TrendAI, the AI security business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), announced support for the NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform, combining hardware-level detection on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs with Zero Day Initiative threat intelligence to help enterprises move autonomous agent fleets from pilot programs into production.

NVIDIA's Agent Safety Platform Enforces Policy Through BlueField-4 DPUs Outside the Agent's Reach

NVIDIA's OpenShell component enforces policy outside an agent's execution environment, preventing it from being prompted away or bypassed, while BlueField-4 DPUs and NVIDIA DOCA add a security layer in silicon that operates independently of the host system. TrendAI positions its platform as the layer that determines what that enforced policy should be, providing visibility into agent behavior and the threat detection needed to act on it.

New York – September 28, 2026 -- Noma Security has expanded its AI and agent security platform to cover autonomous agents, MCP servers, and skills running directly on employee laptops, closing what the company calls one of the largest blind spots in enterprise AI security.

Agents on employee machines inherit full user credentials without oversight

Coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf, along with productivity agents like Claude Cowork, already operate on employee devices with the same permissions and credentials as the humans who installed them. MCP servers and skills extend that access into databases, repositories, and internal systems, often chaining actions across a session without requiring approval at each step.

Beachwood, Ohio – September 25, 2026 -- Saber Healthcare Group has disclosed a cybersecurity incident in which an outside party encrypted a portion of its corporate network files on July 27, 2026, potentially exposing personal and medical information tied to an undisclosed number of individuals.

Attacker encrypted files causing service outage on July 27, 2026

Saber detected a service outage affecting internal and external computer systems on that date. The company secured and isolated its systems and launched an investigation with outside cybersecurity experts, who confirmed an unauthorized party had accessed the corporate network and encrypted a small portion of files, triggering the outage.

Burlington, Vt. – September 25, 2026 -- nuHarbor has launched a new Managed Extended Detection and Response (mXDR) offering built on Splunk, targeting state and local government agencies that operate fragmented security stacks across dozens of separately procured tools.

State agencies inherit decades of disconnected security purchases

Most state governments lack a uniform security architecture, with individual agencies procuring their own SIEM, EDR, and identity tools on independent budgets and timelines. This creates visibility gaps between systems that were never designed to interoperate, according to nuHarbor.

Hamburg – September 25, 2026 -- Envision Energy has secured an IEC 62443-3-3 Security Level 2 (SL2) certificate from TÜV SÜD for its wind farm control system, covering SCADA, PPC, PLC and industrial network devices. The certification was announced during WindEnergy Hamburg 2026 and extends independently validated cybersecurity capabilities from individual control components to the full wind farm system level.

Certification covers system-wide security mechanisms across SCADA, PPC and PLC

IEC 62443-3-3 is a globally recognized standard focused on system-level security requirements, assessing how components, networks and security mechanisms function together within an overall control system. The TÜV SÜD certificate provides third-party validation that Envision Energy's wind farm control architecture meets these system-level requirements.
