DENVER – October 29, 2026 -- Pathlock has been named an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole Analysts' 2026 Leadership Compass for Lean Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), the highest distinction in the report.

Pathlock rates as a Leader in all three evaluation categories

The report assesses identity lifecycle management and access governance solutions, with a focus on the requirements of midsize enterprises. Pathlock was rated a Leader across the Product, Innovation, and Market categories.

EU – October 29, 2026 -- The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has recommended limiting the mandatory operating expenditure (OpEx) KPI under the EU Taxonomy to non-capitalised research and development expenditure, according to a Final Report submitted to the European Commission.

ESMA narrows the mandatory OpEx KPI to non-capitalised R&D spending

The report contains ESMA's technical advice on simplifying key performance indicators under the Taxonomy Disclosures Delegated Act. The change would cut the scope of the OpEx metric that companies must report.

ESMA proposes removing the weighted-average KPI from group Taxonomy reporting

ESMA also proposes simpler group-level Taxonomy reporting, including removal of the weighted-average KPI. Further targeted measures aim to make disclosures more proportionate, clearer and easier to use.

PHILADELPHIA – October 29, 2026 -- Clone Systems, Inc. has rebuilt its Managed SOC + SIEM as a 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) service priced per endpoint, with the SIEM included and no log-ingestion fees. The service runs on the company's own private, self-hosted AI. Customer logs are never sent to an outside AI provider or used to train public models.

The pricing model targets a cost problem for buyers. Auditors, cyber insurers and boards increasingly demand proof of continuous monitoring, and PCI DSS v4.0.1 has required automated review of audit logs under Requirement 10 since March 31, 2025. Clone Systems says many organizations told to "get MDR" find the SIEM, log ingestion and AI features priced separately. Others find that AI-assisted triage means sending sensitive logs to a third-party model.

Novi – October 29, 2026 -- Stoneridge (NYSE: SRI) has placed its MirrorEye Camera Monitor System in newly deployed trucks running the Kodiak Driver, the autonomous driving system from Kodiak AI (Nasdaq: KDK). The two companies also plan to explore integrating additional Stoneridge technology into Kodiak's platform.

FMCSA exemption lets Kodiak drop conventional mirrors from SensorPods

Kodiak's proprietary SensorPods replace conventional side mirrors on the truck cab. Until now they have carried conventional rear-vision mirrors, as U.S. regulations require for commercial trucks.

Stoneridge's system was the first to receive a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) exemption allowing motor carriers to operate trucks without conventional rear-vision mirrors. The FMCSA renewed the exemption in 2024 for five years.

Munich – October 29, 2026 -- Only 41 percent of German business decision-makers rate their company as well or very well prepared for cyberattacks, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by electronica, the electronics trade fair.

Cybersecurity ranks first when respondents name their most urgent technology need, cited by 16 percent. Skilled staff and competencies for AI and digitalization follow at 15 percent, and modernization of IT and data infrastructure at 13 percent.
