    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), a global leader in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today announced the shipment of its breakthrough Ethernet switch — the Tomahawk Ultra. Engineered to transform the Ethernet switch for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads, Tomahawk Ultra delivers industry-leading ultra-low latency, massive throughput, and lossless networking.

    “Tomahawk Ultra is a testament to innovation, involving a multi-year effort by hundreds of engineers who reimagined every aspect of the Ethernet switch,” said Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s Core Switching Group. “This highlights Broadcom’s commitment to invest in advancing Ethernet for high-performance networking and AI scale-up.”

    Shattering Myths, Redefining Performance

    Built from the ground up to meet the extreme demands of HPC environments and tightly coupled AI clusters, Tomahawk Ultra redefines what an Ethernet switch can deliver. Long perceived as higher-latency and lossy, Ethernet takes on a new role:

    • Ultra-low latency: Achieves 250ns switch latency at full 51.2 Tbps throughput.
    • High performance: Delivers line-rate switching performance even at minimum packet sizes of 64 bytes, supporting up to 77 billion packets per second.
    • Adaptable, optimized Ethernet headers: Reduces header overhead from 46 bytes down to as low as 10 bytes, while maintaining full Ethernet compliance —boosting network efficiency and enabling flexible, application-specific optimizations.
    • Lossless fabric: Implements Link Layer Retry (LLR) and Credit-Based Flow Control (CBFC) to eliminate packet loss and ensure reliability.

    “AI and HPC workloads are converging into tightly coupled accelerator clusters that demand supercomputer-class latency — critical for inference, reliability, and in-network intelligence from the fabric itself,” said Kunjan Sobhani, lead semiconductor analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence. “Demonstrating that open-standards Ethernet can now deliver sub-microsecond switching, lossless transport, and on-chip collectives marks a pivotal step toward meeting those demands of an AI scale-up stack — projected to be double digit billions in a few years.”

    Built for HPC and AI Scale-Up

    Tomahawk Ultra is optimized for the tightly coupled, low-latency communication patterns found in both high-performance computing systems and AI clusters. With ultra-low latency switching and adaptable optimized Ethernet headers, it provides predictable, high-efficiency performance for large-scale simulations, scientific computing, and synchronized AI model training and inference.

    When deployed with Scale-Up Ethernet (SUE specification available to the public here), Tomahawk Ultra enables sub-400ns XPU-to-XPU communication latency, including the switch transit time — setting a new benchmark for tightly synchronized AI compute at scale.

    By reducing Ethernet header overhead from 46 bytes to just 10 bytes, while maintaining full Ethernet compliance, Tomahawk Ultra dramatically improves network efficiency. This optimized header is adaptable per application, offering both flexibility and performance gains across diverse HPC and AI workloads.

    Tomahawk Ultra incorporates lossless fabric technology that eliminates packet drops during high-volume data transfer. Incorporating LLR, the switch detects link errors using Forward Error Correction and automatically retransmits packets, avoiding drops at the wire level. Simultaneously, CBFC prevents buffer overflows that traditionally caused packet loss. Together, these mechanisms create a truly lossless Ethernet fabric, delivering the level of reliability demanded by today’s most data-intensive workloads.

    Tomahawk Ultra also accelerates performance through In-Network Collectives solving one of the most persistent bottlenecks in AI and machine learning workloads. Rather than burdening XPUs with collective operations like AllReduce, Broadcast, or AllGather, Tomahawk Ultra executes these directly within the switch chip. This can reduce job completion time and improve utilization of expensive compute resources. Importantly, this capability is endpoint-agnostic, enabling immediate adoption across a wide range of system architectures and vendor ecosystems.

    Designed with innovations in topology-aware routing to support advanced HPC topologies including Dragonfly, Mesh and Torus, Tomahawk Ultra is also compliant with the UEC standard and embraces the openness and rich ecosystem of Ethernet networking.

    Introducing SUE-Lite

    As part of Broadcom’s Ethernet-forward strategy for AI scale-up, the company has introduced SUE-Lite — an optimized version of the SUE specification tailored for power and area-sensitive accelerator applications. SUE-Lite retains the key low-latency and lossless characteristics of full SUE, while further reducing the silicon footprint and power consumption of Ethernet interfaces on AI XPUs and CPUs.

    This lightweight variant enables easier integration of standards-compliant Ethernet fabrics in AI platforms, promoting broader adoption of Ethernet as the interconnect of choice in scale-up architectures.

    Platform for AI Scale-Up and HPC Scale-Out

    Together with the 102.4 Tbps Tomahawk 6, Tomahawk Ultra forms the foundation of a unified Ethernet architecture: enabling scale-up Ethernet for AI, and scale-out Ethernet for HPC and distributed workloads.

  • MIL-OSI: Broadcom Ships Tomahawk Ultra: Reimagining the Ethernet Switch for HPC and AI Scale-up

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), a global leader in semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today announced the shipment of its breakthrough Ethernet switch — the Tomahawk Ultra. Engineered to transform the Ethernet switch for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads, Tomahawk Ultra delivers industry-leading ultra-low latency, massive throughput, and lossless networking.

    “Tomahawk Ultra is a testament to innovation, involving a multi-year effort by hundreds of engineers who reimagined every aspect of the Ethernet switch,” said Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s Core Switching Group. “This highlights Broadcom’s commitment to invest in advancing Ethernet for high-performance networking and AI scale-up.”

    Shattering Myths, Redefining Performance

    Built from the ground up to meet the extreme demands of HPC environments and tightly coupled AI clusters, Tomahawk Ultra redefines what an Ethernet switch can deliver. Long perceived as higher-latency and lossy, Ethernet takes on a new role:

    • Ultra-low latency: Achieves 250ns switch latency at full 51.2 Tbps throughput.
    • High performance: Delivers line-rate switching performance even at minimum packet sizes of 64 bytes, supporting up to 77 billion packets per second.
    • Adaptable, optimized Ethernet headers: Reduces header overhead from 46 bytes down to as low as 10 bytes, while maintaining full Ethernet compliance —boosting network efficiency and enabling flexible, application-specific optimizations.
    • Lossless fabric: Implements Link Layer Retry (LLR) and Credit-Based Flow Control (CBFC) to eliminate packet loss and ensure reliability.

    “AI and HPC workloads are converging into tightly coupled accelerator clusters that demand supercomputer-class latency — critical for inference, reliability, and in-network intelligence from the fabric itself,” said Kunjan Sobhani, lead semiconductor analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence. “Demonstrating that open-standards Ethernet can now deliver sub-microsecond switching, lossless transport, and on-chip collectives marks a pivotal step toward meeting those demands of an AI scale-up stack — projected to be double digit billions in a few years.”

    Built for HPC and AI Scale-Up

    Tomahawk Ultra is optimized for the tightly coupled, low-latency communication patterns found in both high-performance computing systems and AI clusters. With ultra-low latency switching and adaptable optimized Ethernet headers, it provides predictable, high-efficiency performance for large-scale simulations, scientific computing, and synchronized AI model training and inference.

    When deployed with Scale-Up Ethernet (SUE specification available to the public here), Tomahawk Ultra enables sub-400ns XPU-to-XPU communication latency, including the switch transit time — setting a new benchmark for tightly synchronized AI compute at scale.

    By reducing Ethernet header overhead from 46 bytes to just 10 bytes, while maintaining full Ethernet compliance, Tomahawk Ultra dramatically improves network efficiency. This optimized header is adaptable per application, offering both flexibility and performance gains across diverse HPC and AI workloads.

    Tomahawk Ultra incorporates lossless fabric technology that eliminates packet drops during high-volume data transfer. Incorporating LLR, the switch detects link errors using Forward Error Correction and automatically retransmits packets, avoiding drops at the wire level. Simultaneously, CBFC prevents buffer overflows that traditionally caused packet loss. Together, these mechanisms create a truly lossless Ethernet fabric, delivering the level of reliability demanded by today’s most data-intensive workloads.

    Tomahawk Ultra also accelerates performance through In-Network Collectives solving one of the most persistent bottlenecks in AI and machine learning workloads. Rather than burdening XPUs with collective operations like AllReduce, Broadcast, or AllGather, Tomahawk Ultra executes these directly within the switch chip. This can reduce job completion time and improve utilization of expensive compute resources. Importantly, this capability is endpoint-agnostic, enabling immediate adoption across a wide range of system architectures and vendor ecosystems.

    Designed with innovations in topology-aware routing to support advanced HPC topologies including Dragonfly, Mesh and Torus, Tomahawk Ultra is also compliant with the UEC standard and embraces the openness and rich ecosystem of Ethernet networking.

    Introducing SUE-Lite

    As part of Broadcom’s Ethernet-forward strategy for AI scale-up, the company has introduced SUE-Lite — an optimized version of the SUE specification tailored for power and area-sensitive accelerator applications. SUE-Lite retains the key low-latency and lossless characteristics of full SUE, while further reducing the silicon footprint and power consumption of Ethernet interfaces on AI XPUs and CPUs.

    This lightweight variant enables easier integration of standards-compliant Ethernet fabrics in AI platforms, promoting broader adoption of Ethernet as the interconnect of choice in scale-up architectures.

    Platform for AI Scale-Up and HPC Scale-Out

    Together with the 102.4 Tbps Tomahawk 6, Tomahawk Ultra forms the foundation of a unified Ethernet architecture: enabling scale-up Ethernet for AI, and scale-out Ethernet for HPC and distributed workloads.

  • NHAI releases second sustainability report, showcases green milestones

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has released its second consecutive Sustainability Report for the financial year 2023–24, reaffirming its strong commitment towards environmental sustainability and responsible infrastructure development.

    The report, launched by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, highlights NHAI’s integrated framework for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and its alignment with India’s global commitments under the Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) initiative and the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for a sustainable future.

    Despite a 20% rise in National Highway construction in FY 2023–24, NHAI has successfully reduced its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Intensity from 1.0 MTCO2e/km to 0.8 MTCO2e/km, indicating a clear decoupling of construction growth from emissions.

    Promoting a circular economy remains central to NHAI’s efforts. In the reporting year, more than 631 lakh metric tonnes of recycled and reused materials — including fly ash, plastic waste, and reclaimed asphalt — were utilized in highway construction.

    Afforestation and plantation have also received a major push. Over 56 lakh saplings were planted in FY 2023–24 and 67.47 lakh saplings have already been planted in 2024–25, taking the total tree plantation count to over 4.69 crore since the rollout of the Green Highways Policy, 2015. This large-scale plantation has helped create substantial carbon sinks and enhanced the environmental balance along India’s highways.

    The report also documents NHAI’s conservation initiatives under the Amrit Sarovar Mission, with 467 water bodies rejuvenated across the country. These efforts have revitalised local water resources and supplied nearly 2.4 crore cubic metres of soil for road construction, yielding estimated savings of around ₹16,690 crore.

    Water use intensity in water-stressed regions has dropped by 74% compared to previous levels. Additionally, the authority has implemented best practices to mitigate the impact of highways on wildlife and minimise man-animal conflicts.

    On the social front, NHAI has reinforced inclusive and safe work practices. All direct employees and contract workers are now covered under the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management Framework. The organisation also recorded zero instances of workplace discrimination, underlining its commitment to diversity and equity.

    Technology has played a crucial role in these achievements. The AI-driven Data Lake 3.0 platform has streamlined project management and helped resolve 155 conciliation claims, resulting in an estimated saving of about ₹25,680 crore. The widespread adoption of FASTag, with a penetration rate of 98.5%, has further reduced congestion at toll plazas, cutting vehicular emissions and the overall carbon footprint.

  • MIL-OSI: New Payscale Research Points to AI and Social Media Driving Salary Misinformation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • 1 in 5 employees are sourcing salary information from AI assistants and another 1 in 5 are turning to social media platforms like TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook
    • 27% of employees using AI assistants, like ChatGPT, for salary research said it gave them higher salary expectations than other sources and 38% of employers agree that the use of generative AI in salary research is driving salary higher expectations than ever
    • 63% of HR and business leaders surveyed have seen an increase in employees coming to them with salary requests based on inaccurate or unverified data in the last year, with nearly half reporting an increase in employee turnover due to salary-related conflicts over the past year

    BOSTON, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Payscale Inc., the leading provider of compensation intelligence solutions, today released its 2025 Pay Confidence Gap Report, revealing a widening disconnect between employers and employees around salary expectations, fueled by pay misinformation.

    Generative AI is quickly becoming a go-to tool in salary research. The 2025 Pay Confidence Gap Report shows that roughly one in five employees (18%) turn to AI assistants like ChatGPT for compensation insights, and 70% of employers have noticed a rise in employees using AI to shape salary expectations. But using generative AI as a barometer of salary expectations is creating new tensions; 27% of AI-using employees say it inflated their expectations compared to other sources, and 38% of employers agree AI tools are driving salary demands higher than ever before.

    Social media platforms like TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook are also major drivers of unverified salary information. With one in five employees (19%) using these platforms for their salary research, the spread of pay misinformation is further amplified. In fact, 63% of HR and business leaders surveyed have seen an increase in employees coming to them with salary requests based on inaccurate or unverified data in the last year. This is fueling employee distrust around salaries, with nearly half (48%) of employers reporting an increase in employee turnover due to salary-related conflicts over the past year.

    The report reveals that employers may be underestimating this pay confidence gap and falling short on effectively communicating pay decisions and strategies. Employers overwhelmingly believe their employees trust their pay decisions (93%). However, employees aren’t so optimistic, with only two thirds (69%) reporting they trust their employer’s decisions on pay. Almost half of employees (41%) say they have never had a transparent discussion with their employer about how their pay is determined. Without clear communications from managers and HR leadership, employees are left to seek information from other sources like AI and social media.

    “The avenues for employees to educate themselves on salary expectations are expanding,” said Ruth Thomas, chief compensation strategist at Payscale. “Employees are still gaining knowledge from traditional sources like family and friends and industry salary guides, but AI and social media are driving up salary expectations without the verified data and role context needed to inform compensation. In the face of mounting misinformation, too many employers aren’t having the right conversations with their employees about pay. It’s critical they develop compensation strategies that are rooted in transparency, driven by data, and ensure compensation decisions are communicated clearly to improve pay confidence among employees.”

    Additional findings from Payscale’s Pay Confidence Gap Report include:

    • Salary conversations are becoming increasingly challenging for employers to navigate: Almost three quarters (72%) of employers have seen an increase in employees negotiating salaries based on information they’ve found online in the last year, highlighting the importance of arming managers with the right data to navigate tough pay conversations. Two-thirds (66%) of employees would consider leaving their job if a pay conversation is handled poorly. To combat the rise of tough pay conversations, HR leaders are looking for support from leadership on pay decisions (46%), greater pay transparency (44%), and reliable, accurate, and up-to-date compensation data insights (42%).
    • Cost of labor versus cost of living puts regional pay differences in the spotlight: While employers are more focused on the cost of labor, employees are feeling the strain of the rising cost of living. Two-thirds (66%) of employers reported an increase in the number of employees challenging their pay based on the local cost of living in the last year and almost half (47%) report internal conflicts over pay differences between employees in different geographies. As a result of these conflicts, almost half (49%) of employees have considered leaving their job in the last year because they don’t feel their salary has kept up with the cost of living in their city or region. Two thirds (64%) of the employers surveyed say they are actively hiring U.S. employees from locations with a lower cost of living to keep salaries down.
    • Economic uncertainty reshapes pay conversations and workforce decisions: The state of the economy is impacting salary conversations for both employers and employees. More than half (53%) of employers expect pay conversations to become more challenging over the next year due to economic uncertainty. A third (33%) are reassessing their pay structures and 32% report being more cautious with pay increases. For employees, the report reveals an equally cautious approach to pay conversations, with only 23% saying they are more likely to ask for a salary increase in the current economic climate.
    • A growing focus on merit-based pay amid an ongoing talent crunch: Skills shortages are reshaping employee leverage in pay negotiations. Over two-thirds of employers (68%) say skills shortages have impacted employee bargaining power over the past year, and most (70%) have increased compensation beyond typical pay ranges to attract or retain top performers. Employees bringing special skills expect to be rewarded for high performance, and 76% of those surveyed said they would consider leaving their job if their performance isn’t adequately reflected in their compensation package. Yet, a third (32%) of employees surveyed feel they are not adequately compensated based on their performance. Employees at lower job levels were more likely than managers or executives to feel that their performance did not affect their pay.

    To provide a comprehensive analysis of the key compensation challenges facing employers and employees, Payscale surveyed 1,000 US employees (aged 18+) and 500 US business leaders, HR leaders, and HR managers with responsibility for compensation decision-making within their organization.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plastno, a growing leader in sustainable home products, has announced a major expansion of its cleaning product line alongside the debut of Plastnofy, an AI-powered house cleaning app. This dual development reinforces the company’s mission to help households reduce plastic waste by cleaning sustainably, while being safe, effective, and affordable.

    Plastno’s zero waste cleaning kit features compostable bags, cleaning refills, sponge towels, and biodegradable sponges.

    Initially recognized for their compostable and biodegradable garbage bags, Plastno has since expanded its lineup to include sponge towels, biodegradable sponges, reusable spray bottles, and dissolvable cleaning refills. These additions further support a zero-waste cleaning approach for everyday consumers who want to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing cleanliness or convenience.

    Plastno’s cleaning supplies are available through a convenient cleaning product subscription model. Customers can choose to receive eco-friendly items on a recurring schedule, helping them stay stocked while minimizing excess packaging and unnecessary store trips.

    “With the addition of products like soaked sponge refills and plastic-free packaging, we’re helping customers take a smarter, long-term approach to cleaning,” said Julian Silva, spokesperson for Plastno. “These new items are part of a complete system designed to reduce waste while supporting healthier home environments”.

    In addition to expanding its product range, Plastno has launched Plastnofy, the first AI-powered house cleaning app focused on sustainable practices. Plastnofy uses visual task management and smart reminders to help users plan and carry out household chores more effectively. It can track supply levels and recommend eco-conscious routines.

    “Plastnofy is more than just a digital checklist. It’s a practical guide that helps people clean more efficiently while using fewer resources,” Silva added. “Families and individuals alike can benefit from the structure and support it provides.”

    The app is especially useful for customers looking to streamline their routine while staying committed to environmentally friendly choices. Its recommendations are designed to work hand-in-hand with Plastno’s product ecosystem, from compostable trash bags and biodegradable sponges to cleaning refills and reusable bottles.

    As more consumers seek out zero-waste cleaning products and sustainable home solutions, Plastno aims to meet that demand with innovation, accessibility, and a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. The company continues to build tools that encourage thoughtful, consistent cleaning practices rooted in simplicity and long-term impact.

  • MIL-OSI: Trupeer.ai Raises $3M to Unlock Studio Quality Videos for Every Software

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every product demo starts with a screen recording. But for most teams, turning that into something polished can mean hours of editing, painful handoffs, or bloated video tools. Trupeer, the AI video platform built specifically for software and business workflows, has raised $3 million to change that.

    The seed funding round was led by RTP Global, with participation from Salesforce Ventures following Trupeer’s win at the Salesforce AI Pitchfield, and a consortium of over 20 CIO and CTO angel investors from Fortune 500 companies. This round supports Trupeer’s mission to reinvent how teams create product videos, tutorials, and walkthroughs. With a single raw screen recording, Trupeer’s AI engine can produce a clean, professional video in seconds, complete with AI voiceovers, avatars, highlights, and the ability to translate video instantly into 50+ languages.

    Trupeer founders: Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta.

    Trupeer was founded by Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta, who saw a pattern across teams: product knowledge was hard to share, and even harder to scale.  They experienced this firsthand, Shivali while driving digital transformation projects at BCG, and Pritish while leading large teams at fast-growing startups. That one insight led to hundreds of conversations with SaaS founders, IT leaders, and customer teams – all looking for a faster, more flexible way to create high-quality product marketing and training content.

    “Software should be easy to explain. But until now, making good product videos meant spending hours editing or thousands of dollars on production,” said Shivali Goyal, CEO and co-founder of Trupeer. “We built Trupeer so anyone can turn a simple recording into a polished video that’s clear, searchable, and ready to scale, without needing any professional video skills.”

    With Trupeer, teams drop in a rough recording of a demo, a process walkthrough or an internal how-to, and the platform handles the rest. Its multi-modal AI pipeline removes filler words, generates studio-quality voiceovers, adds intelligent zooms and subtitles, tracks cursor actions, and inserts a humanlike AI avatar for a more engaging delivery. Alongside the video, Trupeer automatically generates step-by-step documentation with screenshots and summaries, giving users everything they need to explain a product clearly, instantly, and at scale. 

    Unlike traditional video editors or generic screen recorders, Trupeer is built to meet the speed and complexity of modern businesses. Its AI personalization layer creates multiple versions of a single video, tailored by audience, language, or brand style, and lets teams share them instantly through public links or embedded formats.

    Trupeer is already being used by over 10,000 teams globally, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 companies. As a result, teams are going live with customers faster, cutting support tickets, and slashing training time across departments.

    Trupeer team.

    Trupeer’s momentum also reflects a broader shift: video has become the dominant format for sharing knowledge, and teams need faster, more adaptable tools to keep up.

    “Trupeer is reimagining content creation by turning what was once complex, costly, and manual into a fast, automated, and scalable process. From onboarding to support and training videos, they’re making high-quality product content accessible in minutes”, said Madhur Makkar, RTP Global. “We’ve been incredibly impressed by the positive feedback Trupeer has garnered from its users—they’re clearly building something that resonates with a passionate customer base. We’re excited to support Shivali and Pritish as they build a defining company in AI-powered content infrastructure.”

    Looking ahead, Trupeer is expanding beyond screen recordings. The team is building new ways to generate video from documents, personalize content at scale, and integrate natively with the tools where teams already work, from CRMs to learning platforms. Longer term, the vision is bigger: a system that doesn’t just create product knowledge, but acts like a common brain for organisations; allowing anyone, anywhere to create, share and access every single piece of information, workflow and process that exists in the workspace. Trupeer started with a vision to make technology accessible for all, and this fundraise is the first step in that direction.

  • MIL-OSI: Vorlon Launches Industry’s First Unified SaaS and AI Security Platform, Empowering Enterprises to Secure the Next Wave of AI-Driven Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vorlon, the leader in SaaS ecosystem security, today announced the launch of the industry’s first unified SaaS and AI security platform. As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, Vorlon’s new capabilities give business and IT leaders the comprehensive visibility and control they need to manage risk and unlock innovation, no matter how fast the world is changing.

    The macro shift: AI is now part of the enterprise SaaS fabric

    Over the last fifteen years, enterprises have shifted massive amounts of sensitive data into SaaS, but visibility and control haven’t kept up. Security and compliance teams have been grappling with a fast-changing landscape. Hundreds of sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications, each containing thousands of integrations, have already stretched traditional risk management to the breaking point.

    Now, the adoption of AI-driven innovation is accelerating faster than any previous technology wave.

    According to Gartner® 1, by 2028:

    • “33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024.”
    • “At least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, up from 0% in 2024.”
    • “One-third of interactions with generative AI (GenAI) services will invoke action models and autonomous agents for task completion.”

    AI agents, copilots, and automated workflows access sensitive data, initiate transactions and connect disparate SaaS systems at machine speed, often leaving traditional security tools blind to where data is flowing and who or what is controlling it. This compounds existing blind spots and introduces completely new ones, including:

    • Expanded access: AI agents inherit broad privileges, often spanning multiple apps and data types, making unauthorized or excessive access more likely.
    • Opaque data flows: AI agents can move data between SaaS platforms and external models, frequently without clear audit trails or human review.
    • Shadow AI adoption: Employees and teams can spin up new AI plugins and integrations outside IT’s purview, rapidly multiplying risk.
    • Complexity of oversight: Traditional tools can’t distinguish between legitimate user activity and automated, machine-driven actions, leaving organizations in the dark about who (or what) is accessing critical information.

    “Enterprise security teams thought SaaS made life complicated. AI takes it to a whole new level. The biggest risk today isn’t just what you know, but what you can’t see. Vorlon is the first platform to bring true clarity to this new frontier, giving business leaders the power to move fast and innovate without fear,” said Amir Khayat, co-founder and CEO of Vorlon.

    “Agentic AI is software that’s designed to pursue goals and make decisions on its own. The key difference? It’s officially been given the green light by the organization to act on its behalf, making choices and taking action without needing a human in the loop every time. From a cybersecurity standpoint, that’s a nightmare waiting to happen. If compromised, this AI doesn’t just leak data, it acts with your full organizational permissions, turning every decision it makes into a potential breach at machine speed. That’s why AI oversight is so critical.”

    “In a world where every app, every user, and now every AI agent can touch your most sensitive data, security can’t be an afterthought. Vorlon delivers a unified strategy that’s built for the way modern business actually works, so leaders can unleash the power of AI and SaaS, confidently and responsibly.”

    “Our mission is simple: Give business leaders the power to innovate without fear. With Vorlon, CISOs and other executives get the real-time visibility and control they need to move fast, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the true value of their AI-powered future.”

    Unifying SaaS and AI oversight

    Vorlon continuously discovers both sanctioned and shadow AI usage, maps every sensitive data flow between SaaS apps and AI models and agents, and delivers real-time, explainable alerts for unusual access or data sharing, whether it’s a human or a machine at the controls. Security and compliance teams get a live, intuitive view of every identity, every connection, and every integration touching their data.

    Key features include:

    • Shadow AI discovery: Instantly surface unauthorized or hidden AI tools, copilots, and integrations.
    • Sensitive data flow mapping: Trace exactly where and how business data is accessed, processed, or exported by humans, digital keys, and AI alike.
    • Unified access monitoring: Visualize every connection, API call, and service account linking AI, automation, and SaaS.
    • Behavioral and risk analytics: Prioritize response using context-rich intelligence on both human and machine-driven threats.
    • Audit-ready reporting: Meet regulatory and board-level demands for transparency and accountability in the age of intelligent automation.

    Cloud speed and scale via DataMatrix™ and MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server

    DataMatrix™, Vorlon’s patent-pending engine that models a SaaS ecosystem, links every alert, identity, API, data flow, and secret. Vorlon’s MCP Server acts as the connective tissue, translating an enterprise’s security questions into precise queries against this detailed model, and returning answers to key questions—who (or what) was involved, what was accessed, where the risk is, and what to do next.

    Built for speed and scale, DataMatrix™ is lightning fast and optimized for the massive, interconnected SaaS and AI environments now prevalent in the modern enterprise. Vorlon’s architecture means security teams get answers in seconds, not minutes or hours.

    A new foundation for trust in the intelligent enterprise

    Vorlon’s approach is already being adopted by Fortune 500 leaders and digital innovators who recognize that AI is transforming not just productivity, but the very nature of risk. In an era where the speed and complexity of change outpace traditional oversight, Vorlon puts business and IT leaders back in control.

Vorlon delivers a unified strategy that’s built for the way modern business actually works, so leaders can unleash the power of AI and SaaS, confidently and responsibly.”

    “Our mission is simple: Give business leaders the power to innovate without fear. With Vorlon, CISOs and other executives get the real-time visibility and control they need to move fast, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the true value of their AI-powered future.”

    Unifying SaaS and AI oversight

  • MIL-OSI: Vorlon Launches Industry’s First Unified SaaS and AI Security Platform, Empowering Enterprises to Secure the Next Wave of AI-Driven Innovation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vorlon, the leader in SaaS ecosystem security, today announced the launch of the industry’s first unified SaaS and AI security platform. As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, Vorlon’s new capabilities give business and IT leaders the comprehensive visibility and control they need to manage risk and unlock innovation, no matter how fast the world is changing.

    The macro shift: AI is now part of the enterprise SaaS fabric

    Over the last fifteen years, enterprises have shifted massive amounts of sensitive data into SaaS, but visibility and control haven’t kept up. Security and compliance teams have been grappling with a fast-changing landscape. Hundreds of sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications, each containing thousands of integrations, have already stretched traditional risk management to the breaking point.

    Now, the adoption of AI-driven innovation is accelerating faster than any previous technology wave.

    According to Gartner® 1, by 2028:

    • “33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024.”
    • “At least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, up from 0% in 2024.”
    • “One-third of interactions with generative AI (GenAI) services will invoke action models and autonomous agents for task completion.”

    AI agents, copilots, and automated workflows access sensitive data, initiate transactions and connect disparate SaaS systems at machine speed, often leaving traditional security tools blind to where data is flowing and who or what is controlling it. This compounds existing blind spots and introduces completely new ones, including:

    • Expanded access: AI agents inherit broad privileges, often spanning multiple apps and data types, making unauthorized or excessive access more likely.
    • Opaque data flows: AI agents can move data between SaaS platforms and external models, frequently without clear audit trails or human review.
    • Shadow AI adoption: Employees and teams can spin up new AI plugins and integrations outside IT’s purview, rapidly multiplying risk.
    • Complexity of oversight: Traditional tools can’t distinguish between legitimate user activity and automated, machine-driven actions, leaving organizations in the dark about who (or what) is accessing critical information.

    “Enterprise security teams thought SaaS made life complicated. AI takes it to a whole new level. The biggest risk today isn’t just what you know, but what you can’t see. Vorlon is the first platform to bring true clarity to this new frontier, giving business leaders the power to move fast and innovate without fear,” said Amir Khayat, co-founder and CEO of Vorlon.

    “Agentic AI is software that’s designed to pursue goals and make decisions on its own. The key difference? It’s officially been given the green light by the organization to act on its behalf, making choices and taking action without needing a human in the loop every time. From a cybersecurity standpoint, that’s a nightmare waiting to happen. If compromised, this AI doesn’t just leak data, it acts with your full organizational permissions, turning every decision it makes into a potential breach at machine speed. That’s why AI oversight is so critical.”

    “In a world where every app, every user, and now every AI agent can touch your most sensitive data, security can’t be an afterthought. Vorlon delivers a unified strategy that’s built for the way modern business actually works, so leaders can unleash the power of AI and SaaS, confidently and responsibly.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: World Youth Skills Day: For Jenny Ambukiyenyi Onya, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming African women livestock farmers’ herds into a source of finance

    Source: APO

    A dirt road in Kenya. Heavy heat shimmers over the surrounding savannah. A loan officer approaches a herd of cattle and pulls out a smartphone. Standing next to the owner, a woman with a proud yet cautious gaze, he photographs an animal. Hundreds of miles away, an artificial intelligence algorithm transforms that animal into a bankable asset.

    This scene illustrates the quiet revolution led by Jenny Ambukiyenyi Onya. A young Congolese engineer, she is tackling a paradox that traps millions of women living in rural areas in precarious conditions. The challenge is staggering. Sub-Saharan Africa has around 200 million smallholder farmers, a significant proportion of whom raise livestock. Women account for up to 60 percent of these farmers, representing an economic force of 80-120 million rural female livestock keepers.

    Yet, this force remains virtually invisible to the financial system. Studies conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) show that women receive only 10 percent of smallholder-targeted loans and barely 1 percent of all agricultural loans. The result? An estimated between 70-115 million women are effectively excluded from formal financing.

    Their livestock is their savings account. But without a reliable way to document their herds, how can they prove ownership of 10 cows? Traditional methods, such as ear tags, are fragile and easy to falsify, making verification by a banker nearly impossible and turning a woman’s most valuable asset into an invalid guarantee.

    “It was by combining these two realities – a need for reliability in the field and in-house technical expertise – that the idea emerged: why not apply AI to recognizing assets such as livestock?” explains Jenny.

    Her solution, Halisi Livestock, works like facial recognition for animals. “A loan officer can take a photo of a cow’s face using a simple smartphone,” she explains. “Using biometric recognition algorithms, our AI analyses each animal’s unique features and generates a digital identity that cannot be falsified.”

    This innovation is the key to unlocking financing. First, the digital identity provides farmers with a reliable, indisputable way to count and value their herds. Next, the digital inventory serves as irrefutable proof of ownership, transforming a moving asset into a verifiable guarantee. Finally, this collateral, which can be verified remotely, gives financial institutions the confidence to approve loans.

    “For a financial institution, it is no longer a rough estimate, but concrete and reliable data. We are no longer talking about an ‘informal’ profile, but a digital asset that is registered, verified, and integrated into a structured portfolio,” summarizes Jenny. Trust, built on data, finally opens the doors to credit.

    The transition from promising innovation to large-scale solution was achieved thanks to the “Enhancing Women Entrepreneurship for Africa” programme, supported by Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA) (https://apo-opa.co/4nKHta9), the African Development Bank’s initiative for financing women in Africa. “Joining the programme marked a turning point in our journey,” Jenny acknowledges. “The support provided allowed us to benefit from strategic guidance to strengthen our vision and above all, to refine our product in order to achieve a better fit between the product and the market.” Thanks to this support, the company she founded, Neotex.ai, has rolled out its services in new rural areas in Kenya, registering more than 1,250 head of livestock and proving the viability of its model.

    Beyond facilitating access to loans, Jenny Ambukiyenyi Onya’s vision is to redefine the role of rural economies in Africa. She believes technology makes the livestock sector “visible, measurable and able to be modelled” for investors and policymakers.

    Her message is twofold. She calls on financial institutions to invest “in high-potential local economies, often led by women.” To young African women dreaming of innovating, she offers her own journey as proof. “Dare to create. Even in sectors where you are not expected to. If I can build disruptive solutions from a cell phone and a herd of cows, you too can reinvent what no one has yet dared to imagine.”

  • MIL-OSI: One in three Americans pays for a specialist streaming or subscription service

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nearly a third of American subscribers (31%) now pay for at least one specialist subscription — ranging from horror streaming and pet trackers, to diet plans, meditation apps, and more. That’s according to newly released research from Bango (AIM: BGO).

    Beyond streaming: The rise of specialist subscriptions

    According to the Bango study, which surveyed 5000 U.S. subscribers, Americans are looking beyond the go-to streaming platforms and signing up to a huge variety of specialist services.

    1 in 10 now pay for at least one children’s subscription service such as ABCmouse, while 1 in 20 pay for a guided meditation subscription. A further 1 in 20 pay for at least one foreign-language streaming service.

    Broader bundles: America demands more choice

    As consumers embrace a broader range of subscriptions, many are calling for these services to be bundled into the deals offered by their mobile providers, banks, and internet service providers.

    More than half of subscribers (58%) believe today’s bundles should include a wider variety of specialist subscriptions, not just the major streaming platforms. At the same time, subscribers are also looking to build more unique bundles that reflect their own unique interests:

    Top subscription combos

    • 34% of health‑and‑fitness subscribers also pay for a food delivery or meal kit service
    • 26% of students combine language or study apps with international cuisine services such as Hungry Panda
    • 21% of food delivery subscribers also pay for genre‑specific streamers like Shudder
    • 16% of AI tool subscribers pay for a dating upgrade (e.g. Tinder Gold)
    • 14% of gaming subscribers splash out on pet‑care subscriptions such as BorrowMyDoggy

    Commenting on the findings, Giles Tongue, subscription expert at Bango, said, “When deciding whether to take up a bundle or deal, today’s subscribers want more than just streaming, music or retail. The beauty of bundling is that subscribers get to design their own experiences and build a combination that is genuinely useful and meaningful to them.”

    “Today’s subscribers are creating all kinds of weird and wonderful combinations. They’re bundling meditation apps with heavy‑metal playlists and using AI subscriptions to perfect their Tinder ice‑breakers. These quirky combos represent the next stage in the bundle economy, offering a huge commercial opportunity to providers who are willing to team up with other, more specialized players.”

    “Imagine Shudder teaming up with HelloFresh for a ‘Meals & Squeals’ deal. That’s a bundle. Or Duolingo offering Hungry Panda vouchers to language learners. That’s a bundle. With the Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™) from Bango, launching those cross‑category bundles is as easy as flipping a switch.”

    The bundle economy

    Bango predicts that growing consumer demand for specialist streaming and subscription services will fuel a new wave of bundling and a further boom to the growing bundle economy.

    According to additional Bango data, 68% of U.S. consumers are now paying for at least one subscription obtained indirectly, such as through a bundled offer. Meanwhile, 72% of subscription brands report higher customer lifetime value from subscribers acquired via bundles compared to those acquired through direct sign-ups.

    “The bundle economy presents a huge opportunity, but the challenge is in linking all of these services together efficiently,” said Giles Tongue. “Consumers don’t want complexity. They want convenience, choice, and value in one place. The Digital Vending Machine® from Bango already connects hundreds of popular, mainstream, and specialist subscriptions, powering Super Bundling platforms from Verizon, Optus and Telenet. Using the DVM, telcos, banks, retailers, and other providers can offer compelling deals instantly, differentiating their services, while giving customers the variety they crave.”

    Alongside the visit, the Mayor’s growth agency London & Partners will host a trade delegation of 27 London-based companies that are looking to grow their business and access opportunities in this dynamic and important region of the world.  

    The bilateral trade relationship between Africa and London has shown consistent growth over recent years, despite global challenges. More businesses from London expand into Africa than from any other city globally and the UK stands as one of Africa’s significant trading partners. With trade between the UK and Africa worth £50bn in 2024* and UK exports up six per cent year on year, the Mayor is hoping that his visit will contribute to future economic growth both in London and the cities he visits.

    The visit also helps to celebrate London’s cultural links and history with the African continent. Londoners of African heritage have played, and continue to play, a huge part of life in the capital, from food and music, to art and culture and sport. Nigeria is the eighth most common country of birth for Londoners, with the country among the top 10 fastest growing populations in London, and Ghana in the top 30 fastest growing between 2001 and 2021. Last month London hosted the football Unity Cup, which saw Ghana and Nigeria go head-to-head in a semi-final at Brentford’s stadium. 

    New analysis from Dealroom has ranked Lagos as the world’s top emerging tech hub.** In Lagos, the Mayor will attend a flagship tech event hosted by London and Partners, the growth agency for London, where he will encourage Nigerian tech businesses to invest in London.

     Just last week, Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO) became the first Nigerian banking entity to list all of its shares directly on the London Stock Exchange, highlighting the close economic ties that already exist between London and the African continent.

    Africa’s Creative Vibrancy Index ranks Lagos as the top city for creative economy performance and the Mayor will also host a major culture and creative industries reception to celebrate the status of Lagos and London as cultural and creative industry powerhouses. This will also look to encourage even greater ties between the creative industry ecosystems in both cities – from the arts to music and film.

    Trade between the UK and Ghana stood at around £1.4 billion in 2024. In Accra, the Mayor will deliver a speech on innovation and entrepreneurship to students at the University of Ghana, hosted by Imperial College London. Imperial is the first UK university to have a permanent base solely focused on science and technology in Africa, building on the rapid increase in the number of scientific advancements and breakthroughs by researchers from Imperial working with scientists in Ghana in recent years. He will also launch the British High Commission’s new business campaign that will promote trade between the two cities.

    In Johannesburg, the Mayor will commemorate Mandela Day – an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, Mandela’s birthday. Nelson Mandela made a number of visits to London during his lifetime, including a state visit in 1996 by invitation of Queen Elizabeth II, and speaking in Trafalgar Square in 2005 in support of the Make Poverty History Campaign. His impact on South Africa, the UK and the wider world is celebrated by a statue in Parliament Square, and last year the Mayor provided funding to support the first cultural centre and museum dedicated to the history of the Anti-Apartheid Movement in Britain.

    Finally, the Mayor will visit Cape Town where he will join London businesses from his trade delegation who are seeking new opportunities in Africa. He will attend London & Partners’ London x Cape Town Tech Summit, which will bring together London and South Africa’s dynamic tech sectors, developing opportunities for collaboration between the two cities in driving innovation, attracting investment and scaling transformative technologies. He will also take part in events marking the huge role sport can play in supporting communities, both in London and in Africa.

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I am delighted to be visiting Africa this week – the first visit of its kind by a Mayor of London – to bang the drum for the capital and further develop the strong ties between our countries.

    “Africa has the world’s fastest growing populations, and is seeing major economic growth across many of its economies. Over the next decade there are huge opportunities to deepen partnerships with London. I will be working tirelessly throughout this visit to drive trade and investment across critical sectors including finance, education, health, tech creative and sustainability.

    “Londoners of African heritage have played, and continue to play, a huge role in making London the greatest city in the world, and this trip is an opportunity to celebrate our shared heritage, history and culture with the African continent – as we build a better and fairer city for everyone.”  

    Laura Citron, CEO of London & Partners, said: “London is one of the best places in the world to build a business. But it doesn’t thrive in isolation. Its strength comes from global connections. Markets like Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya offer real opportunities for growth. These trade missions focus on building strong partnerships between London and some of the most important emerging business hubs in the region. London is home to important African diaspora communities, which are a great strength in our diverse city.”

    Lord Collins of Highbury, UK Minister for Africa said: “Sir Sadiq’s visit marks an exciting moment for the UK’s relationship with countries across Africa, and is a strong demonstration of our commitment to deepening our ties with the continent. 

     

    “Strengthening our trade, investment, and cultural ties is not only vital for shared economic growth, but also for fostering long-term partnerships that are rooted in respect and open up opportunities for all.”

    Dr Lloyd Anderson, the Acting Regional Director for Sub Saharan at the British Council, said: “On behalf of the British Council in Sub Saharan Africa, I am delighted to welcome Mayor Sadiq Khan on his historic trade mission to this vibrant continent. The visit will not only strengthen the bonds between London and Africa, but showcase the immense potential for trade, investment and cultural programmes.

    “Given Africa’s dynamic economies and diverse cultures, there are precedented opportunities for collaborations that celebrate our shared heritage and drive innovation across sectors such as creative industries and education. I look forward to witnessing the fruitful partnerships that will emerge from this mission, enhancing not only economic ties but also the cultural connections that enrich both London and Africa.”

    Jonny Baxter, British Deputy High Commissioner in Lagos, said: “The Mayor of London’s visit underscores the UK Government’s commitment to strengthening economic and cultural ties with Nigeria. From trade to fintech and fashion, our collaboration is driving innovation and growth.

    “Through the UK-Nigeria Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership, we’re committed to unlocking new opportunities that benefit both our economies, and this visit is a powerful step forward in that journey of inclusive growth.”

    Antony Phillipson, British High Commissioner to South Africa, said: “The Mayor of London’s visit marks a significant moment in deepening the economic ties between South Africa and London, with a focus on trade, innovation, and cultural links. His engagements in Cape Town show the tangible benefits of collaboration to drive inclusive, sustainable growth for both our economies.”

    Orla Browne, Head of Insights at Dealroom, said: “Lagos is the world’s top emerging tech hub in our 2025 ‘Rising Stars’ ranking — and for good reason. Its tech ecosystem has grown 11-fold in enterprise value since 2017 to $15B, produced five unicorns like Flutterwave and OPay, and attracted significant foreign investment. In the context of a low-income national economy, Lagos shows how tech can be a powerful driver of economic growth.”

    Tom Attenborough, Head of International Primary Markets, London Stock Exchange Group, said; “The London Stock Exchange has been a consistent funding partner – both to Governments and to the wider African economy – with more than 90% of the bonds issued by African Sovereigns currently listed on our markets and more than 100 companies from 20 African countries with a market capitalisation of $110bn listed here. London’s capital markets continue to play actively in directing financing to opportunities that support economic development across Africa.”

    Olu Alake, CEO of The Africa Centre, London UK, said: “The Africa Centre warmly welcomes The Mayor of London’s trade mission to Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa as part of his office’s focus on Africa. For over 60 years, we have had the pleasure of fostering meaningful engagements and innovative partnerships between the United Kingdom and the African continent. Mayor Khan’s visit represents a timely and strategic opportunity to deepen economic, cultural and innovation ties with the continent in a spirit of genuine partnership. We stand ready to support all efforts that will advance inclusive growth and mutual prosperity.”

    London-based businesses in Africa as part of London & Partners trade delegation include fintech company Abound who specialise in AI-powered lending.

    Michelle He, Co-Founder and COO of Abound said: “We’re excited to take part in this historic trade mission to Africa. We’ve already partnered with one African unicorn, LemFi, and are excited to continue to grow our presence in what is becoming such an important fintech hub.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Mayor of London launches a next-generation city data platform to unlock the power of data for Londoners

    Source: Mayor of London

    • Mayor of London launches new cutting-edge Data for London Library to make it easier to use data to benefit Londoners and London and power smarter AI-enabled public services
    • The Library is a key step in improving data sharing across the city – which is essential to the AI, data and infrastructure London will need to power the next generation of public services – by connecting datasets held by organisations across the capital
    • Launched during London Data Week, a 50+ festival delivered by the Greater London Authority,  London Councils and the Alan Turing Institute, this delivers a manifesto commitment to bring forward new data services that support city priorities and ensure the digital and AI revolution serves Londoners and their needs

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has launched the Data for London Library, a cutting-edge new platform that will transform how London collects, shares and uses data to improve public services, unlock growth and create a more inclusive, sustainable city.

    Launched during the biggest ever London Data Week, the Library is part of the Mayor’s ambitious Data for London programme and marks a major milestone in the evolution of London’s data infrastructure. It will replace the London Datastore, which was first launched in 2010 and at the time was one of the world’s earliest and most innovative open data platforms.

    The Library aims to be the definitive catalogue of place data for London – including environment, buildings, and demographics – creating a single, vital resource for researchers and data users seeking rich contextual insight for data services and projects. It takes an innovative approach by connecting, not collecting, datasets held by key London partners starting with Transport for London, the Department of Health and Social Care as well as Barnet, Brent, Camden, and Redbridge councils, and the Office for National Statistics. This collaborative working helps build London’s data infrastructure while acknowledging London’s breadth and large number of organisations that keep the city running.   

    Over its 15-year history, the previous London Datastore, which the Library will replace, pioneered new ways of making public data accessible and useful to communities, policymakers and innovators. The Data for London Library builds on that legacy, offering more than 5,100 datasets, faster search tools, and improved discoverability to make it easier for everyone – from citizens to researchers to startups – to find and use trusted data that benefits Londoners.

    Data from the London Datastore has been used to: 

    • Improve air quality by collating data from air quality sensors across London to help map and predict air pollution episodes. This enables us to issue pollution alerts for Londoners, helping people with health conditions sensitive to pollution live healthier lives as part of the Breath London project.
    • Support Net Zero by providing energy efficiency data for all London homes in a transparent, shareable way through the London Building Stock Model. This helps councils to identify and prioritise homes that need retrofitting and is a key tool to support the delivery of the Mayor’s Warmer Homes London programme with London Councils.
    • Tackle rough sleeping by publishing quarterly and annual CHAIN reports based on data collected by outreach teams and services across London. These reports provide strategic insights into rough sleeping trends, supporting public understanding and helping the Mayor, councils, and charities work toward the goal of ending rough sleeping in London by 2030.

    By making it easier to find and use data held across the city, in one place, the Library becomes core infrastructure for the current AI revolution by addressing a key challenge facing innovators – discovering where datasets are. Better access to datasets enables better insights to enable preventative services, new digital or data tools to support public service productivity and opportunities for innovators across public, private, research and civil society. London’s approach to building the new data platform will be made available for other UK cities and regions to adopt.  

    London is Europe’s largest technology hub – the second largest in the world – and now firmly established as a leading player on the global stage due to the way it uses data to improve services, education, research and innovation to benefit communities across the capital. London is also at the forefront of AI research and top three globally for venture capital investment into this technology. 

    The recently published London Growth Plan identifies huge opportunities to turbocharge the capital’s economy by harnessing the potential of rapidly growing tech sectors such as AI. The Data for London programme will help to support this by improving city data sharing, increasing collaboration, developing public trust, boosting Londoners’ digital skills and leading modern connectivity.   

    Theo Blackwell MBE, Chief Digital Officer for London, said: “London is great at collaboration and the new Data for London Library is rooted in partnership. We’ve been working closely with the data community, the London Office of Technology and Innovation, local authorities in London and other data providers in the city to prioritise the features and improve the user experience.”

    “This is just the beginning, we are only going one way – there is no global trend towards less data. AI systems of the future are heavily dependent on the quality and quantity of the data they are trained on, so our focus now is to build more data sources into the Data for London Library and to make it easier to navigate complex data sharing agreements to benefit the city’s strategic position as the vanguard of the data and AI revolution. This is how we can build a better, fairer, more prosperous London for everyone.”

    Eddie Copeland, Director at the London Office of Technology & Innovation, said: “Successfully tackling many of the biggest issues we face in the capital, from climate change to tackling homelessness, depends on bringing together data from many different sources. The Data for London Library and platform will provide a huge boost for our ability to join up, analyse and act upon data at a truly London scale to benefit Londoners.” 

    Director of the Open Data Institute and Data for London Advisory Board Member Stuart Coleman said: “At the ODI, we advocate for practical, well-governed data infrastructure that makes it easier for people to access, use and share data. The Data for London Library shows how the public sector can take steps to make datasets more discoverable and usable. By opening up access to data from across the capital, it offers a pragmatic model that others can learn from. As the National Data Library develops, examples like this can help demonstrate what works in practice, particularly when it comes to improving interoperability, making data AI-ready, and building on existing foundations rather than starting from scratch.”

    Dr Cosmina Dorobantu, Data for London Advisory Board member and Senior Advisor and Visiting Professor in Practice at the LSE Data Science Institute, said: “As a member of the Mayor’s Data for London Board and someone who is helping to build a world-leading institute for AI and the social sciences here in London, within the London School of Economics and Political Science, I am tremendously excited to see the launch of the Data for London Library. Today’s launch is an important first step towards making the vast amounts of data collected in London more accessible, and towards increasing the data maturity of contributing organisations. The foundations that the team behind the Data for London Library have built are essential for creating the invaluable data resources that businesses, researchers, and policymakers need to build a better, more prosperous, and more equitable city.”

    Muniya Barua, Deputy Chief Executive at BusinessLDN, said: “The launch of the new Data for London Library marks a significant milestone in the capital’s ambitious growth plans. It puts a wealth of up-to-the-minute public and private sector data at the fingertips of businesses and policymakers which can be used to drive innovation and transform the lives of Londoners. Having long championed the transformative potential of data sharing, we now look to the Mayor’s spatial strategy, the London Plan, to ensure it supports the development of critical infrastructure – from data centres to improved broadband connectivity – which will enable the benefits of this new platform to be maximised and London to lead the way in AI and other cutting-edge technologies.”

  • MIL-OSI: Nutanix Study Finds Financial Services Fast-Tracking GenAI Adoption—but Long-Term Gains Hinge on Infrastructure and Talent

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN JOSE, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, announced the findings of its seventh annual global Financial Services Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) survey and research report, which measures enterprise progress with cloud adoption in the industry. The research showed that nearly all the financial services organizations surveyed are currently leveraging GenAI applications or workloads today, with a focus on real-life applications gravitating towards customer support and content development.

    Despite widespread GenAI adoption, financial services organizations are struggling to keep pace. Most cite a skills gap needed to manage GenAI with existing infrastructure. Moreover, 97% of respondents admit they could do more to secure their GenAI models and applications.

    “Financial services organizations are turning to containers and hybrid cloud not just as technology upgrades, but as strategic enablers of customer value,” said Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix. “This year’s ECI report highlights how these technologies are delivering measurable ROI by powering GenAI applications that enhance fraud detection, strengthen cybersecurity, and elevate customer engagement. For financial institutions, containers and hybrid cloud have become essential tools to drive innovation, agility, and trust in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

    “But AI and how organizations want to use it is also changing very rapidly. While GenAI remains a part of their activities, beyond the findings in the report, our customers are telling us they have moved to adopt agentic AI and are looking to harness its potential across their organizations and in how they interact with their customers.”

    The report surveyed financial services leaders on GenAI adoption, Kubernetes, and container use, and where they’re running mission-critical applications today—and where they plan to run them next. Key findings include:

    • GenAI Adoption Is Widespread but Not Without Risk: Nearly all industry respondents report using some form of GenAI today, with current use cases focused on customer support, content generation, and automation. However, data privacy and security stand out as the top concerns, with 97% agreeing their organizations must do more to secure GenAI models and applications.
    • Infrastructure Modernization Is Needed for GenAI Success: 92% of respondents say their current infrastructure requires improvement to fully support cloud native applications and containers. Although containerization and Kubernetes are already in use, particularly for GenAI workloads, application portability and data silos persist as major hurdles.
    • IT Talent Shortage Could Slow Momentum: Nearly all respondents (98%) face challenges scaling GenAI from development to production, citing lack of skilled personnel and integration issues. While 62% of respondents are actively hiring for GenAI expertise, training and upskilling remain critical priorities.
    • Return on Investment (ROI) is a Priority but It’s a Long Game: 39% of respondents anticipate potential GenAI-related losses in the next 12 months, while 58% expect gains within one to three years. This suggests that financial services leaders are embracing a longer-term view of GenAI success but also underscores the need for better tools to measure GenAI ROI.
    • Security and Compliance Will Continue to be Important: The majority (96%) of respondents say GenAI is reshaping their data security and privacy priorities. Additionally, 90% express concern about data security in the broader IT vendor ecosystem, further highlighting the complexity of securing AI deployments.

    For the seventh consecutive year, Nutanix commissioned a global research study to learn about the state of global enterprise cloud deployments, application containerization trends, and GenAI application adoption. In the Fall of 2024, U.K. researcher Vanson Bourne surveyed 1,500 IT and DevOps/Platform Engineering decision-makers around the world. The respondent base spanned multiple industries, business sizes, and geographies, including North and South America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) region.

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Locus Technologies, the industry leader in cloud-based environmental compliance software, today announced the launch of its Backflow Prevention App, a fully integrated application within the Locus Water Suite. This new application empowers backflow inspectors and water utilities to respond efficiently to growing inspection volumes, increased regulatory scrutiny, and ongoing staffing constraints within a modern alternative to legacy spreadsheets and siloed data.

    “With the Locus Backflow Prevention app, utilities and operators can manage all aspects of their backflow programs, from device tracking to test result submissions and customer notifications, all within Locus Platform. This app is a key step forward in backflow device management which will streamline your program implementation and oversight,” said Dr. Laura Underwood, Director of Digital Water Services at Locus Technologies.

    Key features of the Locus Backflow Prevention app include:

    • Cloud-Based and Mobile Ready: Licensed inspectors can complete tests and submit results in real-time from any mobile device.
    • Regulatory Compliance: Automatically assigns and tracks test frequency, due dates, non-compliance, and device requirements aligned with local and state regulations.
    • Automated Notifications: Generates reminder notices, notices of violations, or other custom notices via emails or letters to customers when inspections are due or late.
    • Integrated Device and Site Tracking: Maintains a centralized record of every backflow device, test history, and service location.
    • Self-Service Portal: Enables Water Utility staff to manage licensed inspectors, service locations, and customer information, as well as review and approve inspections.
    • Powerful Reporting and Audit Tools: Custom dashboards, historical trend analysis, and pre-built reports streamline internal tracking and external audits.

    The app is metadata-driven and built on the configurable Locus Platform, allowing customers to configure their own workflows, forms, and compliance rules without writing a single line of code. Combined with the broader Locus Water Suite — which includes applications for water quality, water metrics, stormwater, and more — the Backflow Prevention app significantly advances the digital transformation of water compliance.

    “Our mission is to deliver the most complete, unified platform for managing every aspect of water operations,” said Neno Duplan, CEO of Locus Technologies. “With the launch of the Backflow Prevention app, traditional data silos are crumbling, and our customers are gaining full control over their data, inspections, and compliance mandates — all in one place.”

    The Locus Backflow Prevention app is available as a standalone module or as part of bundled pricing for customers already using multiple Locus applications. To learn more, please visit http://www.locustec.com.
