  • MIL-OSI: Fast Company Names Huntress Among 50 Most Innovative Companies for Democratizing Enterprise Security

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    COLUMBIA, Md., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntress has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious Most Innovative Companies list for 2025, earning recognition for democratizing cybersecurity previously reserved for Fortune 500 companies. As cybercrime costs approach a staggering $10.5 trillion annually, Huntress is challenging the status quo by making enterprise-grade protection accessible to businesses of all sizes.

    “While industry giants focus on the Fortune 500, we’re protecting the backbone of the economy,” said Kyle Hanslovan, CEO of Huntress. “We set out from the start to protect everyone, and our 24/7 security team, empowered by our technology, catches threats every day that can devastate a business.”

    Fast Company sifts through thousands of applications to find standout companies that are demonstrating leadership and making an impact on the world. Huntress earned its overall ranking for democratizing cybersecurity for all and the number one spot in the security category for the newest additions to its managed cybersecurity platform:

    • Huntress Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Traditional SIEMs are notorious for overwhelming alerts, operational complexity, and high costs. Huntress Managed SIEM simplifies data and event monitoring by using and retaining only what’s needed to prioritize actionable insights, streamline compliance needs, and remove blockers to successful use.
    • Huntress Managed Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Modern attackers increasingly target identities as entry points. ITDR addresses this growing threat vector by proactively monitoring and protecting against credential-based attacks and privilege escalations, locking out attackers before they cause damage.

    What separates Huntress is its “One Team Advantage”—every product is built, owned, and operated by one team, enabling the company to innovate and adapt as quickly as the threat actors do.

    “The cybersecurity industry has failed millions of businesses by making protection too complex and expensive,” added Hanslovan. “We’re proving that world-class security doesn’t have to be a luxury.”

    Huntress protects organizations across industries with its 24/7 Security Operations Center, achieving a false-positive rate under 1% – a metric that outperforms many enterprise solutions costing significantly more.

    Huntress is the enterprise-grade, people-powered cybersecurity solution for all businesses, not just the 1%. With fully owned technology developed by and for its industry-defining team of security analysts, engineers, and researchers, Huntress elevates underresourced tech teams whether they work within outsourced IT environments or in-house IT and security teams.

    The 24/7 industry-leading Huntress Security Operations Center (SOC) covers cyber threats for outsourced IT and in-house teams through remediation with a false-positive rate of less than 1%. With a mission to break down barriers to enterprise-level security and always give back more than it takes, Huntress is often the first to respond to major hacks and threats while protecting its partners and shares tradecraft analysis and threat advisories with the community as they happen.

    As long as hackers keep hacking, Huntress keeps hunting. Join the hunt at www.huntress.com and follow us on X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

The company unveiled more than 80 PCs, AI-powered print tools for SMBs, and Workforce Experience Platform enhancements all built to drive company growth and professional fulfillment.

    “HP is translating AI into meaningful experiences that drive growth and fulfillment,” said Enrique Lores, President and CEO at HP Inc. “We are shaping the future of work with game-changing AI innovations that seamlessly adapt to how people want to work.”

    Leading the Future of Work

    HP’s 2024 Work Relationship Index reports that only 28 percent of workers have a healthy relationship with work. Companies and people are seeking better work experiences and new advancements in technology – from seamless device connectivity to AI applications – that can help people work faster, think more creatively, and connect on a deeper level.

    With customers looking to refresh their devices to Windows 11,3 HP is supercharging its PCs to take advantage of the latest technologies available with select models qualifying as Copilot+ PCs, 4 so work doesn’t feel like work:

    • The HP EliteBook 8 Series is masterfully redesigned with mainstream enterprise workers in mind, delivering AI-powered productivity and seamless collaboration in a repairable and upgradeable package. With NPU options up to 50 TOPS, experience up to 224% better power efficiency and up to 43 times faster AI image generation for incredible performance gains versus previous non-NPU models.5
    • The HP EliteDesk 8 Series brings AI powerfully and securely to the company’s desktop portfolio. These devices are ideal for corporate project managers and workers who need a reliable PC that can manage even the most demanding projects for smarter workflows and productivity. This is the world’s first business desktop PC portfolio to protect against quantum computer hacks,6 combining high performance with lower power consumption to reduce costs.
    • The HP EliteStudio 8 AiO G1i is the perfect tool for an on-the-go employee constantly moving around the office. As the world’s first commercial PC with integrated KVM ability through HP Device Switch,7 an employee can use the all-in-one for work or quickly plug their laptop into the AIO with a single cable to power the notebook and access all the available peripherals.
    • The OmniBook X Series is designed for creators who need a PC that adapts to their workflow, whether it be a svelte 14-inch flip device to ideate and draw, or a powerhouse clamshell 17.3-inch PC to power through their larger-than-life creations. The OmniBook 7 Series is built for power users on their PC for all-day productivity for school or work. And the OmniBook 5 Series is ideal for families and students with a versatile design that’s built for streaming, light gaming, and personal productivity. Devices across the consumer notebook portfolio are offered in a variety of sizes with powerful Intel Ultra or AMD Ryzen™ processors.

    HP is also delivering powerful new AI software experiences to complement this next generation of AI PCs. Qualifying consumer and commercial devices from HP are equipped with exclusive software designed to transform how people work in the office, at home, and everywhere in between:

    • HP AI Companion is an advanced on-device AI research assistant that delivers instant answers and secured file analysis, even without an internet connection.8,9 New features planned for this Spring include intuitive voice and text commands and built-in keylogger protections to enhance productivity while keeping data secure on the device.

With automatic network switching regardless of carrier, advanced fleet management, and effortless setup, road warriors can connect and be productive wherever work takes them. The HP Go service option will first be available on the HP EliteBook 6 G1q powered by Snapdragon X Series, making it the world’s first AI PC with zero-touch multi-carrier 5G deployment.11

    HP is changing the way customers print and manage documents, making it easier and more efficient with new features and technology:

    • Two new features to its collection of AI-powered tools that help SMBs simplify and enhance the print experience. The first feature streamlines the process of sharing scanned documents by using AI to summarize them and draft an email with the document attached, allowing for easy sharing via email or chat. The second feature offers automatic and guided redaction to safeguard sensitive information, ensuring that private data remains secure on HP devices without requiring a cloud connection. These innovations aim to reduce the complexity and enhance the security of document handling for small businesses. 
    • The HP LaserJet Enterprise 8000 Series Printers are the world’s first printers that protect against quantum computer attacks2. They provide enhanced hardware-level security for highly regulated organizations that rely on secure printing, ensuring protection against future quantum computer attacks while seamlessly integrating with Zero Trust architectures.
    • The HP Latex R530 Printer is the only compact all-in-one HP Latex printer13, capable of handling both rigid and flexible media. Its digital operation simplifies workflows and maximizes space, boosting efficiency. It helps small and medium-sized print shops (PSPs) meet customer demands with high-quality prints and impressive output.

    Shaping the Future in Play

    Technology can also offer people a smooth transition from work into play. According to Mohamed Ala Saayed, Senior Program Director & Fellow, Frost & Sullivan, “About 60% of gaming PCs owners likely use their systems for work-related activities in addition to gaming.”16

    New gaming hardware across OMEN and HyperX delivers meaningful performance and personalization for the ultimate in gameplay:

    Resolutions of the Annual General Meeting of WithSecure Corporation and the decisions of the organizing meeting of the Board of Directors

The General Meeting adopted the financial statements for the financial year 2024 and approved as advisory resolution the remuneration report and the updated remuneration policy for governing bodies. The members of the Board as well as the President and CEO were discharged from liability.

    The use of the loss shown on the balance sheet and the distribution of dividend 

    The General Meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors that no dividend will be paid for the financial year 2024 due to the loss-making net result of the year. The Company will focus on funding its growth and developing the business.

    Board of Directors and Auditors 

    The General Meeting decided that the annual remuneration of the Board of Directors will remain unchanged: EUR 80,000 for the Chair of the Board of Directors, EUR 48,000 for the Committee Chairs, EUR 38,000 for the members of the Board of Directors, and EUR 12,667 for a member of the Board of Directors employed by the Company. Approximately 40% of the remuneration will be paid as the Company’s shares acquired on the Board members’ behalf.

    The General Meeting decided that the number of Board members be seven (7). The following current Board members were re-elected: Risto Siilasmaa, Tuomas Syrjänen, Ciaran Martin, Amanda Bedborough and Niilo Fredrikson.

The maximum amount equals to approximately 10% of all the shares in the Company, in one or several tranches with the Company’s unrestricted equity.

    The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to resolve on the repurchase also in deviation from the proportional holdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase). The authorisation comprises the repurchase of shares either in the public trading or otherwise in the market at the trading price determined for the shares in public trading on the date of purchase, or with a purchase offer to the shareholders, in which case the repurchase price must be the same for all shareholders. The Company’s own shares shall be repurchased to be used for carrying out acquisitions or implementing other arrangements related to the Company’s business or for optimising the Company’s capital structure, to be used as part of the implementation of the Company’s incentive scheme or otherwise to be transferred further or cancelled. The authorisation includes the right of the Board of Directors to resolve on all other terms related to the repurchase of the Company’s own shares.

    The authorization is valid until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, in any case no later than until 30 June 2026.

    Authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares

    The General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of a maximum of 17,609,870 shares in total through a share issue as well as by issuing options and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to chapter 10, section 1 of the Companies Act in one or several tranches. The maximum number of shares corresponds to 10% of all shares in the Company. The authorization concerns both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of treasury shares held by the Company.

    The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to resolve on all terms related to the share issue as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares. The issuance of shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right (directed issue). The authorisation may be used for potential acquisitions or other arrangements, for share-based incentive schemes or otherwise for purposes resolved by the Board of Directors. Of the authorisation, a maximum of 2,000,000 shares may be used as part of the above-mentioned share-based incentive schemes, which corresponds to approximately 1% of all shares in the Company.

    The authorization is valid until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, in any case until no later than 30 June 2026.

  • MIL-OSI: Basis Climate facilitates transfer of multiple solar and wind Production Tax Credits (PTCs) for ACCIONA Energía

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Basis Climate, a leading facilitator of clean energy tax credit transfers, announces the successful transfer of Production Tax Credits (PTCs) across three transactions on behalf of ACCIONA Energía, a subsidiary of ACCIONA, a global leader in the development and management of infrastructure, water, services, and renewable energies.

    The transferred credits were generated by ACCIONA Energía’s Fort Bend, Red-Tailed Hawk, Green Pastures I, and Green Pastures II facilities located in Texas. Fort Bend is a 240MWac solar project, while the larger Red-Tailed Hawk is a 350MWac solar farm. Green Pastures I and Green Pastures II, two wind farms with combined capacity of 300MWac, were acquired by ACCIONA in November 2024. These four projects, alongside three wind farms in Cameron County, and the Cunningham Battery Storage System located in Hunt County, Texas represent the company’s commitment to continued renewable energy investments in the state.

    For the Fort Bend and Red-Tailed Hawk projects, ACCIONA Energía engaged Basis to find buyers for the PTCs associated with its Class B interest in each project, outside of an existing tax equity partnership. Additionally, ACCIONA Energía was able to efficiently monetize the Production Tax Credits from Green Pastures I & II wind projects following their acquisition.

    Basis Climate’s CEO Erik Underwood noted “the era of tax credit transferability means many new forms of selling credits are now possible. We look forward to supporting more developers as they evaluate this type of tax credit sale in the future.”

    About Basis Climate
    Basis Climate is a leading facilitator of clean energy tax credit transfers, providing a seamless and efficient platform for businesses and individuals to monetize their tax credits generated from renewable energy projects. The company’s mission is to unlock the full potential of clean energy tax credits by connecting credit generators with motivated buyers, ultimately accelerating the transition to a clean and sustainable future.

  • MIL-OSI: AssetMark Launches New Program to Help Bridge Succession Planning Gap for Financial Advisors

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CONCORD, Calif., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AssetMark, a leading provider of wealth management and technology solutions for financial advisors, today announced the launch of a new program for advisors, Ascent. The program is aimed at helping advisors face the challenges of succession planning by providing education and guidance throughout the entirety of their career.

    Succession planning has become an increasingly urgent issue for financial advisors as a growing number of them approach retirement, while fewer new entrants are joining the industry. According to data from Cerulli, 72% of new advisors leave the profession shortly after entering, raising concerns about the sustainability of financial advisory practices. The demographic shift within the advisor population is particularly striking, with an estimated 110,000 advisors expected to retire in the next decade. In stark contrast, only 9% of advisors are under the age of 35, while 45% are 55 or older.

    In response to this challenge, AssetMark developed Ascent to support advisors at various stages of their careers. The program offers tailored training and resources designed to help them plan for succession and ensure the continuity of their businesses. The Ascent program features a range of training mediums, mentorship opportunities, and events, structured across three key stages:

    • Embark for Future Advisors: A six-month program for advisors who are new to the industry.
    • Advance for Successor Advisors: A year-long program for next-gen advisor leaders and successors.
    • Summit for Established Advisors: A four-month program for advisors who own their practice and those approaching exit.

    “AssetMark works with thousands of financial advisors who bring up succession planning time and time again as an area where they need greater support,” said Matt Matrisian, Head of Client Growth at AssetMark. “This is why we developed Ascent – to help advisors start their careers with succession planning in mind while providing guidance to more experienced advisors ready to exit their practice, ensuring a smooth process through the entire lifecycle.”

    The program’s structure makes it possible for advisors to make succession decisions that not only assure the continuity of their business but also align with their personal goals and retirement plans. The program’s training provides advisors with a variety of skills – from allowing future advisors to learn about client experiences, to coaching seasoned advisors through overcoming emotions often tied to letting go of their practice.

    “The launch of Ascent is AssetMark’s latest step in our mission to continuously enhance and grow the capabilities that we provide to today’s financial advisors,” said Michael Kim, CEO of AssetMark. “The job of an advisor continues to evolve, so naturally, their expectations of a service partner platform do too. I’m proud of how the AssetMark team continues to meet these expectations in areas that are most important and challenging to advisors, such as succession planning.”

  • MIL-OSI: Overland AI Launches SPARK to Deliver Instant Vehicle Autonomy to Military Fleets

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SEATTLE, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Overland AI today unveiled SPARK, a comprehensive autonomy upfit that transforms any ground vehicle into a fully autonomous platform by integrating the company’s advanced OverDrive software stack with existing vehicle hardware. Designed for rapid deployment across existing military fleets, SPARK provides an immediate path to autonomy without the extended procurement timelines typically associated with new autonomous systems.

    “By integrating SPARK, the DOD and other government departments can transform their existing fleets into autonomous ground vehicles, rapidly and at scale,” said Byron Boots, co-founder and chief executive officer of Overland AI. “This immediate capability provides tactical advantages in a military theater that is changing minute over minute.”

    SPARK runs Overland’s OverDrive technology on an ultra-compact compute module that fits in most vehicles. Its perception system uses LiDAR and stereo cameras to see through darkness, dust, and storms, while tracking movement via integrated GPS, IMU, and speed encoders. The system’s modular, drive-by-wire design allows for rapid installation with minimal modifications to the host vehicle, preserving manual control capabilities when needed.

    Overland AI’s SPARK integrates complex infrastructure, including perception sensors, compute, comms, and drive-by-wire, to rapidly upfit ground vehicles with advanced autonomy powered by OverDrive, the company’s autonomy stack.

    Additionally, the modern battlefield demands vehicles that can operate in degraded environments where GPS may be denied and communication compromised. SPARK’s communications system maintains connectivity via Starlink, tactical mesh, LTE, and WiFi when possible, ensuring mission continuity even in the harshest conditions.

    “Autonomous vehicles are force multipliers that allow a single operator to control multiple vehicles, all while out of harm’s way. Our troops deserve access to this technology in a matter of days, not years,” said Greg Okopal, chief operating officer of Overland AI.

    To learn more about SPARK and see open roles, visit Overland AI’s website.

    About Overland AI

    Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Overland AI is powering ground operations for modern defense. The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver advanced autonomy for unit commanders. Hazardous missions in austere and electronically denied environments demand that this technology is reliable and resilient. Overland AI’s SPARK autonomy upfit and OverDrive stack enable ground vehicles to navigate off-road without GPS or direct operator control, while its OverWatch C2 provides commanders with precisely coordinated capabilities that are vital for complex missions to succeed. Overland AI is developing these capabilities and putting them into the hands of tactical operators today.

  • MIL-OSI: Nerdio Secures $500 Million in Series C Investment from General Atlantic at $1 Billion+ Valuation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Chicago, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nerdio, the automated End-User Computing (EUC) platform transforming how organizations deploy and manage Microsoft cloud technologies, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement for a $500 million minority investment from General Atlantic, a leading global growth investor, with participation from Lead Edge Capital and StepStone. Upon closing, the investment will quadruple Nerdio’s valuation in just two years to $1 billion+.

    Companies waste millions trying to manage complex cloud environments, relying on highly-skilled IT talent and outdated tools. This challenge has become increasingly critical as flexible work models become the norm and end-user computing requires increasing sophistication. Industry analysts project the Desktop-as-a-Service market will exceed $60 billion by 2037, growing by 18% annually, as organizations worldwide seek more efficient ways to deliver secure, high-performance digital workspaces to their employees.

    Nerdio solves this problem with a platform that simplifies Microsoft cloud management, automating both routine and complex processes while making the most of existing resources and enabling cost savings. The platform allows organizations to deliver better digital workspace experiences for employees while eliminating the complexity typically associated with cloud infrastructure—all without requiring specialized technical expertise.

    The Nerdio platform serves more than 5 million users across 15,000 customers in over 50 countries, including Chevron, Impact Networking, Kraft Heinz, ASDA, Carnival Cruise Line, Willis Towers Watson, and Penn State University.

    Nerdio’s record over the past year included:

    • Scaling profitably at over 85% year-over-year ARR growth
    • Being awarded 2024 Microsoft Americas Partner of the Year
    • Influencing more than $350 million of Microsoft revenue
    • Launching 20 product releases, including new Microsoft 365 management capabilities for Nerdio Manager for MSP, broad endpoint management and application delivery enhancements, and AI infused into all products
    • Expanding its global presence with new offices in the EMEA and APAC regions

    “The workplace has fundamentally changed, with remote and hybrid models becoming standard for organizations of all sizes,” said Vadim Vladimirskiy, Co-Founder and CEO of Nerdio. “Most companies struggle with the technical complexities and costs of supporting this transformation. Nerdio’s platform turns what would be months of engineering work into automated processes that any IT team can manage. We are pleased to partner with General Atlantic on the next stage of our growth journey and believe this investment will accelerate our mission to make cloud management simple and cost-effective for every organization, regardless of their technical resources.”

    “Switching from traditional virtual desktop infrastructures to Nerdio has truly been transformative for Teleperformance,” said Garion Bown, Global Vice President of Virtualization Technologies at Teleperformance. “The challenge with traditional VDI is that you still have that legacy mindset with infrastructure. With the capabilities of the cloud, you now have the ability to essentially manage your entire infrastructure, and that’s what drove me to Nerdio. The ability to no matter where I was in the world, have a central management plane for my organization.”

    The new funding will help drive innovation and growth across several strategic areas:

    • Accelerating product innovation for the End-User Computing (EUC) market and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), including enhanced Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Microsoft 365 management solutions to simplify IT operations and boost efficiency
    • Expanding Nerdio’s global presence to serve growing international demand
    • Augmenting its engineering and customer success teams to support rapid customer growth

    “Nerdio is enabling the transition of virtualization to the cloud and is delivering immediate and measurable value to organizations struggling with cloud complexity,” said Aaron Goldman, Managing Director and Head of Enterprise Technology at General Atlantic. “The team’s ability to combine technical innovation with ease of use has resulted in remarkable customer loyalty and growth.”

    Asher Hecht, Principal at General Atlantic, added, “We’re excited to support Nerdio’s vision of making advanced cloud workspace technology accessible to all organizations.”

    As part of the investment, General Atlantic will take two seats on Nerdio’s board, with Aaron Goldman and Asher Hecht representing the firm. J.P. Morgan served as exclusive financial advisor to Nerdio. With no debt, ongoing profitability, and a growing global footprint, Nerdio is well-positioned to scale while continuing to prioritize its mission—making cloud management accessible, cost-effective, and effortless for organizations of all sizes and managed service providers.

    Nerdio is hiring across all departments. For more information, visit: https://getnerdio.com/careers-nerdio/

    Raleigh, NC, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RegEd, the leading provider of compliance solutions for financial services firms, today announced the launch of media transcription capabilities within its AI-powered advertising review solution. This new feature enables firms to seamlessly review multimedia content—such as videos, webinars, and podcasts—by automatically transcribing audio and video files and applying AI-enabled compliance analysis as part of a seamless, fully integrated workflow.

    • Required disclosures – Ensuring that necessary disclaimers and suitability language are present. 
    • Brand and policy alignment – Verifying adherence to firm-approved messaging per company policy and regulatory expectations. 

    With this enhancement, compliance teams can eliminate time-consuming manual video reviews, accelerate approval timelines, and maintain consistency across all media formats. 

    Industry-Leading Innovation 

    “As firms expand their use of digital media, compliance teams are challenged with reviewing an increasing volume of video and audio content,” said Ethan Floyd, Chief Product Officer at RegEd. “With our AI-powered media transcription, firms can now analyze multimedia content as efficiently as written materials, reducing manual effort while ensuring full regulatory compliance. This is a game-changer for advertising compliance teams striving to keep pace with evolving marketing trends.” 

    Enhancing Efficiency in Advertising Review 

    AI-powered media transcription provides financial firms with an end-to-end compliance workflow that: 

    • Reduces review time by eliminating the need for manual transcription and video playback. 
    • Improves compliance accuracy with automated risk detection across all content formats.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • Sandoz signs 10-year agreement with partner Delpharm, a global pharmaceutical developer and contract manufacturer
    • Agreement will secure a reliable supply of affordable, quality sterile injectables made in Canada
    • With this decision, Sandoz solidifies its position as the #1 supplier of sterile injectables to Canadian hospitals

    BOUCHERVILLE, Quebec, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sandoz Canada, the leader in generic and biosimilar medicines in Canada, has signed a 10-year, long-term supply agreement with its partner Delpharm, a global pharmaceutical developer and contract manufacturer. This partnership, along with financial backing from the Government of Canada, will allow Delpharm to carry out its modernization plan for its Boucherville plant.

    Michel Robidoux, President and General Manager of Sandoz Canada, said: “Almost every minor or major surgery in the country is performed with at least one Sandoz medicine that is manufactured in Boucherville. This is how we are continuing our Purpose of pioneering access for Canadian patients.”

    After Delpharm bought the Boucherville plant in 2022, Sandoz signed an exclusive partnership with the company to maintain its supply of sterile injectables for Canadian hospitals.

    The Boucherville plant is considered to be essential to the Canadian hospital network as it produces an essential range of molecules used in various surgical procedures and intensive care units. In addition, the site is responsible for producing 20 of Canada’s top 100 molecules, and has the country’s largest manufacturing capacity for injectable narcotics.

    The project mainly involves renewing and refurbishing production equipment and the laboratory to create a state-of-the-art plant. Over the next few years, the plan will be carried out in several phases so as not to compromise supply.

  • MIL-OSI: New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor: How Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents Through Compromised Rule Files

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TEL AVIV, Israel, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pillar Security, a pioneering company in AI security, discovered a significant vulnerability affecting GitHub Copilot and Cursor – the world’s leading AI-powered code editors.

    This new attack vector, dubbed the “Rule Files Backdoor,” allows attackers to covertly manipulate these trusted AI platforms into generating malicious code that appears legitimate to developers.

    This newly discovered attack vector exploits hidden configuration mechanisms within these tools, enabling attackers to inject malicious code suggestions that blend seamlessly into legitimate AI-generated recommendations and bypass human scrutiny and conventional security checks.

    Unlike traditional code injection attacks that target specific vulnerabilities, “Rule Files Backdoor” represents a significant risk by weaponizing the AI itself as an attack vector, effectively turning the developer’s most trusted assistant into an unwitting accomplice.

    “This new attack vector demonstrates that rule files can instruct AI assistants to subtly modify generated code in ways that introduce security vulnerabilities while appearing completely legitimate to developers,” said Ziv Karliner, CTO & Co-Founder of Pillar Security. “Developers have no reason to suspect their AI assistant is compromised, as the malicious code blends seamlessly with legitimate suggestions. This represents a fundamental shift in how we must think about supply chain security.”

    Key Findings and Implications:

    • Widespread Industry Exposure: The vulnerability affects Cursor and GitHub Copilot, which collectively serve millions of developers and are integrated into countless enterprise development workflows worldwide.
    • Minimal Attack Requirements: Execution requires no special privileges, administrative access, or sophisticated tools–attackers need only manipulate configuration files within targeted repositories.
    • Undetectable Infiltration: Malicious code suggestions blend seamlessly with legitimate AI-generated code, bypassing both manual code reviews and automated security scanning tools.
    • Data Exfiltration Capabilities: Well-crafted malicious rules can direct AI tools to add code that leaks sensitive information while appearing legitimate, including environment variables, database credentials, API keys, and user data–all under the guise of “following best practices.”
    • Long-Term Persistence & Supply Chain Risk: Once a compromised rule file is incorporated into a project repository, it affects all future code generation, with poisoned rules often surviving project forking, creating vectors for supply chain attacks that affect downstream dependencies.

    Who is Affected?
    A 2024 GitHub survey found that nearly all enterprise developers (97%) are using Generative AI coding tools. According to Pillar, because these rule files are shared and reused across multiple projects, one compromised file can lead to widespread vulnerabilities. The research identified several propagation vectors:

    1. Developer Forums and Communities: Malicious actors sharing “helpful” rule files that unwitting developers incorporate
    2. Open-Source Contributions: Pull requests to popular repositories that include poisoned rule files
    3. Project Templates: Starter kits containing poisoned rules that spread to new projects
    4. Corporate Knowledge Bases: Internal rule repositories that, once compromised, affect all company projects

    Mitigation

    To mitigate this risk, we recommend the following technical countermeasures:

    1. Audit Existing Rules: Review all rule files in your repositories for potential malicious instructions, focusing on invisible Unicode characters and unusual formatting
    2. Implement Validation Processes: Establish review procedures specifically for AI configuration files, treating them with the same scrutiny as executable code
    3. Deploy Detection Tools: Implement tools that can identify suspicious patterns in rule files and monitor AI-generated code for indicators of compromise
    4. Review AI-Generated Code: Pay special attention to unexpected additions like external resource references, unusual imports, or complex expressions

    Following responsible disclosure practices, Pillar alerted both Cursor (February 26) and GitHub (March 12), who responded that users bear responsibility for reviewing AI-generated code suggestions.

    “Given the growing reliance on AI coding assistants within development workflows, we believe it’s essential to raise public awareness about potential security implications. We have reached an era where AI coding assistants must be regarded as critical infrastructure,” said Karliner.

  • MIL-OSI: Growers Edge, Compeer Financial, and Evergreen Bank Group Partner to Deliver Rapid Input Financing Offering

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    JOHNSTON, Iowa, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Growers Edge, a technology firm that provides modern financial products and data-driven tools for agricultural retailers, manufacturers and lenders, today announced a new partnership with Evergreen Bank Group and Compeer Financial.

    Faced with low profit margins and high interest rates, agricultural retailers and manufacturers have embraced in-house input financing programs to increase wallet share and better serve their grower customers. In-house input financing helps retailers and manufacturers retain sales opportunities and valuable data, unlike other lines of credit (like local operating loans), which can be used elsewhere.

    Together, Compeer Financial, Evergreen Bank Group and Growers Edge provide funding liquidity and a partner branded SaaS platform that simplifies the application, credit decisioning, and loan management process. By empowering agricultural retailers and manufacturers to provide growers with instant financing decisions at competitive rates, the partnership helps growers manage risk and defer payment on new, innovative crop inputs.

    “Given the current state of the ag economy, input financing is a powerful sales tool,” said Andy Flores, Business Development Director at Growers Edge. “Our customer agronomists report that financing conversations are often initiated by growers. They’re willing to try new inputs, but they need their retailer partners to help mitigate the risk.”

    Aligned in their missions of supporting rural communities, Compeer Financial, Evergreen Bank Group and Growers Edge will also partner in the development of other financial products and new digital tools that help growers maximize output, achieve peace of mind and secure their economic futures.

    “This partnership brings financing options to farmers when and where they need it,” said Kelly Miller, Director of AgTech at Compeer Financial. “Growers Edge and Evergreen Bank Group understand the importance of making it easier for clients to do business in their local communities and Compeer Financial is proud to provide a cutting-edge option to do just that.”

    The landmark partnership follows a series of major achievements for Growers Edge. In addition to serving four of the top ten largest retailers in the country with the Crop Plan Warranty, Growers Edge has partnered with organizations like Nutrien, PepsiCo, Mondelez and Helena Agri-Enterprises to boost sustainable agriculture practices.

    In 2024, Growers Edge acquired AQUAOSO Technologies, which offers its services under the Agcor brand and provides mapping, data, and analytics software for agricultural lenders, and expanded its farmland valuation tool to cover more than 144 million acres of land across nine states. Earlier this year, Growers Edge announced it protected over 1 million acres of American farmland from downside risk through its crop plan warranty program.

  • MIL-OSI: TopLine Financial Credit Union Advocates for Members in Washington D.C.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MAPLE GROVE, Minn., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, visited Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., March 2 to March 5, 2025, as part of the annual America’s Credit Unions Governmental Affairs Conference, the credit union industry’s largest advocacy event.

    During the conference, TopLine executives and officials, along with over 6,000 other credit union professionals, board members and Minnesota Credit Union Network (MnCUN) staff members, discussed several top credit union issues with key legislative staff members. The group met with U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith as well as members of the U.S. House and their staff. Meetings focused on expanding credit union’s opportunities to serve more Minnesotans, emphasizing the importance of preserving our not-for-profit financial cooperative tax status, fighting back on efforts to disrupt the interchange system, and maintaining an independent credit union regulator – all are very important to the health of the credit union industry.

    TopLine spent valuable face time meeting with lawmakers and sharing members’ stories on how TopLine provides safe and affordable financial services to help members with all of their financial needs, from buying cars and homes, saving for retirement and investing in small businesses. These conversations emphasized the importance of preserving the tax status of credit unions, which allows credit unions to continue to do what they do best: focus on serving members and communities instead of chasing profits. Credit unions advocates shared with lawmakers that any limitation or curtailment of the tax status would have a dramatic impact on the $950 million in direct financial benefits Minnesota credit unions provide their members and over $4 billion in economic output in the state.

    “The Governmental Affairs Conference united credit union champions from across the nation to discuss key policies, engage with legislators on Capitol Hill, and reinforce to lawmakers and regulators why credit unions are America’s best financial partner—prioritizing people over profits, strengthening communities, and enhancing financial well-being for all,” said Mick Olson, President and Chief Executive Officer at TopLine Financial Credit Union. “TopLine representatives had meaningful discussions with our state lawmakers, emphasizing the importance of preserving our not-for-profit financial cooperative tax status. This fundamental aspect of our structure enables us to build a stronger, healthier financial future for the consumers we serve.”

  • MIL-OSI: HUMAN Sightline Revolutionizes Bot Management with AI-Enhanced Insights to Detect, Isolate, and Track Attackers

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HUMAN Security, Inc., a leading cybersecurity company committed to safeguarding every step of the customer’s online journey by defending against bots, fraud, and digital risk, announced today HUMAN Sightline, an innovative suite of capabilities that detects, isolates, and tracks individual bot profiles. HUMAN Sightline enables security teams to conduct faster investigations and optimize their response to evolving threats in the era of AI. This fundamentally transforms bot management by delivering never-before-seen insights into automated traffic.

    “The bot mitigation landscape is swiftly evolving with the proliferation of AI-generated threats, and the industry can no longer rely on last-gen methods to detect and investigate next-gen threats,” said Christos Kalantzis, CTO of HUMAN. “Bots are becoming more sophisticated, and organizations must respond with advanced detection techniques to protect their business and drive security optimization strategies at scale. With HUMAN Sightline, we are putting data-driven investigation tools straight into the hands of our customers and their security teams.”

    With HUMAN Sightline, customers can isolate individual attacker profiles and uncover what each one is doing in granular detail. HUMAN’s secondary detection engine analyzes all automated activity on an application and segments it into distinct profiles, going beyond simple anomaly detection or basic signature mapping. Using sophisticated data modeling, HUMAN Sightline identifies and tracks nuanced shifts in bot behavior as they occur. This enables security analysts to see the activity of individual bot profiles over time, as well as their sophistication, capabilities, and the specific factors that distinguish them from humans and other bots on the application.

    “The responsibility of security is making decisions, and HUMAN Sightline helps us make decisions,” said Omri Lotan, Site Reliability Engineer at Fiverr. “Of course, we want to block bots, but when a tool just blocks bots without explaining why, I still have to investigate it. HUMAN Sightline gives me all the details I need to understand what exactly a bot was doing and why it was blocked. I can zero in on specific threat behaviors and turn these learnings into targeted mitigation strategies.”

    HUMAN Sightline offers three key benefits that revolutionize bot management:

    1. Focus and accelerate investigations: Surfaces distinct bot activities, attack paths, and changing behaviors, such as bots targeting specific products or visiting select pages at a glance. Security teams can then uncover hidden patterns and zero in on key attacks, transforming their investigative capabilities.
    2. Translate attack data into a board-ready threat narrative: Allows teams to present business-level visualizations of bot behavior and show the effect of their actions over time. This empowers security teams to lead with data-backed authority, bridging the gap between deep technical analysis and business actions.
    3. Optimize your security strategy for your unique threats: This enables security teams to gain unprecedented clarity on each attacker’s actions and intent to define threat priorities. This real-time adaptability empowers security teams to proactively identify new threat patterns, respond faster, and stay agile against evolving risks.

    “HUMAN Sightline completely transforms how the industry thinks about bot management,” said Bryan Becker, Senior Director of Project Management at HUMAN. ”In an industry used to anomaly detection as the only way to measure bot attacks, HUMAN Sightline isolates each bot profile to give security practitioners unprecedented visibility into the behavior of specific threats on their application.”

    HUMAN Sightline insights will be available through a new set of dashboards in HUMAN’s Application Protection package. They will also be available in Account Takeover Defense and Scraping Defense at no additional cost.
