Dallas – – September 29, 2026 -- TrendAI, the enterprise AI security unit of Trend Micro (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), has entered private preview with TrendAI Vision One Autonomous Vulnerability Discovery, a service that pairs an agentic AI engine with validation from the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), described as the world's largest vendor-agnostic bug bounty program.
The service runs on an agentic system code-named AESIR, built primarily on Anthropic models, and deployed and operated on Amazon Bedrock from Amazon Web Services. When tested against the CyberGym benchmarking framework, the engine scored higher than both single-model and other agentic systems on the leaderboard. TrendAI states internal benchmarking shows its models identify more true-positive vulnerabilities with fewer false positives than leading vulnerability scanning and static analysis tools.
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – – September 29, 2026 -- IGEL has signed a strategic distribution agreement with Adistec to bring its Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform into Latin America, the companies announced at Omnissa ONE 2026. The deal marks IGEL's formal market entry into the region and adds Adistec as a new regional distribution partner tasked with technical enablement, training, and go-to-market support for resellers, system integrators, and technology service providers.
Reston, Va. – – September 29, 2026 -- Leidos (NYSE:LDOS) unveiled UpHold EffectTM Agentic SOC Automation, a new capability using AI agents to triage cybersecurity alerts around the clock for federal security operations center teams, addressing a surge in alert volume driven by automated adversary attacks.
The system works continuously to triage incoming alerts, gather contextual data and assemble findings for human analyst review. Customers determine the scope of AI authority, deciding whether the technology can only recommend actions or is permitted to execute them directly, based on mission requirements and risk tolerance.
Every AI decision generates an auditable record documenting what the system observed, concluded and proposed or executed, according to Leidos.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
