Singapore – – September 30, 2026 -- Querit has launched a dedicated Code Search capability for its Querit Search API, letting developers switch from general web search to programming-focused retrieval by setting a single parameter, Vertical=Code.

Internal tests show 81% of returned results are directly adoptable by coding agents

In internal, programming-focused evaluations covering tasks such as function generation, autocomplete, and debugging, 81% of results returned by the Querit Search API were directly adoptable by coding agents, as scored by an LLM-as-a-judge under identical token budgets for intent and constraint satisfaction.

Los Angeles – September 30, 2026 -- Britive has launched the Frictionless PAM Transformation Program, a new initiative aimed at helping enterprises replace fragmented, credential-centric privileged access management (PAM) systems with a unified, runtime authorization model built for AI agents and non-human identities.

Program targets fragmented PAM architectures across cloud and legacy systems

Britive says enterprise privileged access environments have become siloed, with traditional infrastructure, cloud systems, and non-human identities each governed by separate controls. Mohit Vaish, CEO of CyberSolve, said organizations have historically responded by "bolting another module onto the same architecture," which adds tools without resolving the underlying fragmentation.

Silicon Valley – – September 30, 2026 -- Meshy has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue, a 100x increase from $1 million in under two years, making it the first AI 3D company to reach the milestone. The platform now counts more than 15 million registered users and over 3,000 companies and educational institutions, who have collectively generated more than 100 million 3D models. Half of the world's ten most valuable companies by market capitalization or private valuation are Meshy customers, and teams at 200 Fortune Global 500 firms build with the platform.

Atlanta – – September 30, 2026 -- Landis+Gyr has made its Revelo E370 grid-edge sensor commercially available, adding compatibility with its Gridstream RF Mesh network protocol to the Revelo sensing platform.

New sensor adds RF Mesh to existing Wi-SUN and Mesh IP support

The Revelo E370 now supports three network protocols -- Landis+Gyr RF Mesh, Mesh IP and Wi-SUN -- with Wi-Fi included as a standard feature. Roque Martin, Senior Vice President of Connected Platforms at Landis+Gyr, said the design gives utilities greater visibility and intelligence at the grid edge to detect and respond to safety events faster.

Delray Beach, Fla. – September 30, 2026 -- The global IT Service Management (ITSM) market is projected to grow from USD 10.96 billion in 2026 to USD 22.91 billion by 2031, a compound annual growth rate of 15.9%, according to MarketsandMarkets. The market stood at USD 9.41 billion in 2025, underscoring accelerating enterprise spending on hybrid IT and AI-enabled service delivery.

Knowledge and self-service tools post the fastest growth at 21.3% CAGR

The knowledge and self-service management segment is set to register the highest growth rate of the forecast period, driven by conversational AI, virtual agents, and automated resolution tools designed to cut repetitive Level-1 support workloads. Dashboard, reporting, and analytics tools follow with an 18.8% CAGR, reflecting enterprise demand for real-time SLA monitoring and predictive service insights. The solutions category overall is expected to grow 16.8% annually through 2031.

Holmdel, N.J. – September 30, 2026 -- Index Engines' CyberSense Research Lab found that 47.8% of 1,064 ransomware strains detonated in the first half of 2026 relied on directory-entry destruction, more than double the 18.3% that used full encryption, marking a shift away from techniques that trigger standard security scans.

Attackers now suppress the telltale signs security tools rely on

The lab documented new ransomware built to preserve file extensions and timestamps, maintain low entropy, and encrypt only selected sections of files slowly enough to avoid detection thresholds. One variant, Encoder, destroyed file content while leaving names, sizes, timestamps, and entropy readings unchanged, according to Jim McGann, CMO of Index Engines. A surface scan would report that data as clean, McGann said, while CyberSense identified the corruption by analyzing file content and structure directly.

Arlington, Virginia – September 30, 2026 -- Nisos has launched Identity Integrity, a new module within its Ascend platform that cross-references an individual's identity signals against independent intelligence sources and delivers a risk report within minutes.

Module Targets Gaps Left by Document-Based Verification

Traditional identity checks confirm that a document is legitimate or that submitted information matches a database record, but they do not establish that the person presenting that information is who they claim to be. Identity Integrity cross-references data an organization already holds — such as a name, email address, phone number, resume or professional profile — against official public records, breach data, investigation databases and digital footprint information to surface inconsistencies or gaps.

Santa Barbara, Calif. – September 30, 2026 -- Sidero Labs launched Talos Director, a single management platform positioned as a direct alternative to VMware for enterprises migrating virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters off legacy virtualization stacks. The platform is now in Limited Availability, with general availability planned for January 2027.

Talos Director runs VMs and Kubernetes on one immutable operating system

Built on Talos Linux and the Talos Hypervisor, Talos Director unifies management of virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, storage and networking under a single declarative, immutable configuration model. The company says this eliminates the configuration drift that typically affects traditional data center environments.

Cleveland – September 30, 2026 -- Park Place Technologies has launched ParkView Asset Intelligence, an AI-powered platform that assigns every server, storage, network and security device a lifecycle health score from 0 to 100, giving IT managers OEM-level visibility to decide whether to refresh, repair or retire equipment.

Platform draws on 35 years of service data across nearly one million assets

Each score combines three data streams: Park Place's own hardware maintenance records spanning more than 35 years and roughly one million serviced assets across every major manufacturer, regional spare-parts availability, and a customer's own asset performance and service history. CEO Chris Adams said a device scoring 66 carries a different risk profile once IT teams see that comparable devices in the same model family average 92.
