Cyble Says the Future of Endpoint Security Goes Beyond Detection, Unveils the Next Evolution of Titan at Black Hat USA 2026

New release combines silicon-rooted attestation, AI-native threat intelligence, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction and autonomous response into a unified endpoint security platform for the AI era.

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cyble today unveiled the next evolution of Cyble Titan at Black Hat USA 2026, introducing silicon-rooted attestation alongside AI-native threat intelligence, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction, exposure management and autonomous response in a unified endpoint security platform. Titan helps security teams establish trusted evidence, understand attacks faster and respond with greater confidence.

Cyberattacks have evolved beyond the endpoint. They move across identities, cloud infrastructure, vulnerabilities, external threat ecosystems and increasingly leverage AI. Yet defenders still investigate fragmented telemetry across disconnected tools before understanding the full scope of an attack.

Titan was built for this new reality.

Unlike traditional EDR platforms that begin with operating system telemetry, Titan establishes trust through silicon-rooted attestation, then correlates endpoint activity with Cyble’s AI-native threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, attack path context and BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction to create a complete Indicator of Attack. Instead of piecing together isolated alerts, analysts receive a unified understanding of the attack and can investigate, prioritize and respond from a single platform.

“EDR changed cybersecurity by helping organizations detect attacks. The next generation of endpoint security will be defined by how quickly security teams can understand those attacks and act with confidence,” said Beenu Arora, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyble. “Titan brings together trusted evidence, intelligence, context and response into one platform, giving defenders the clarity to stay ahead of sophisticated threats.”

The latest release also expands Titan with device controls, exposure management, AI-native threat intelligence and autonomous, auditable response, bringing together capabilities delivered through multiple security products into a single workflow.

Visitors to Booth 6032 can experience Titan live at Black Hat USA 2026, including demonstrations of silicon-rooted attestation, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction, AI-native threat intelligence and autonomous response across the attack lifecycle.

TV9 Bangla Suswathya celebrates excellence in healthcare

Kolkata, 06th Aug: TV9 Bangla had organised Suswasthya – Health Conclave at a city hotel recently. The ministers who graced the occasion namely as Dr. Sharadwat Mukherjee, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister, Department of Health & Family Welfare, Government of West Bengal; Smt. Agnimitra Paul, Hon’ble Cabinet Minister, Department of Urban Development & Municipal Affairs, Government of West Bengal; and Dr. Indranil Khan, Hon’ble Minister of State, Department of Youth Services and Sports and Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of West Bengal.

The prestigious Lifetime Achievement Honour was conferred upon Prof. Dr. Subir Chatterjee, Founder of Park Clinic, Kolkata, in recognition of his lifetime contribution to paediatrics and medical education including the separation and treatment of adjoined twins.

 

TV9 Bangla Suswathya celebrates excellence in healthcare

Another recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Honour was Dr. Shibaji Basu, one of India’s most respected urologists. Aged 100 years, Dr. Basu has made significant contribution to urological care and has treated thousands of patients, including soldiers and war victims in Bangladesh Mukti Juddho (Liberation War).

TV9 Bangla also presented the Special Recognition Honour to Dr. Asok Ray for serving underprivileged patients in and around Asansol. Dr. Ray has dedicated his life providing affordable healthcare, either free of cost or for a nominal consultation fee of just Re. 1. His humanitarian service stands as an inspiration to the medical fraternity and society alike.

Furthermore, TV9 Bangla Excellence in Healthcare Honour was conferred upon Dr. Shib Shankar Dey, Dr. Shishir Biswas, Dr. Chirantan Banerjee, Dr. Paban Mondal, and Dr. Dayal Bandhu Majumdar and many other hospitals and doctors in recognition of their outstanding contribution to healthcare, unwavering dedication to patient care, and exceptional service to society.

Speaking on the occasion, Amritanshu Bhattacharya, Managing Editor & Business Head, TV9 Bangla, shares, “We have always heard the saying ‘Health is Wealth,’ yet we rarely give it much thought until our health takes a turn for the worse. In such critical moments, the task performed by those who save our lives is akin to taking a penalty kick in football—a high-stakes, decisive moment. We naturally assume that doctors will provide the necessary treatment and we will recover; if things don’t go as planned, the blame often falls on the doctor. On behalf of TV9, we want to highlight the vital role these professionals play in touching and safeguarding our lives—a role that is often thankless. When we at TV9 decided to focus on stories that touch lives, we wanted to learn more about the people who are even more deeply connected to life itself than we are. We encountered individuals whose dedication was truly astonishing; we hadn’t imagined that service to humanity could reach such extraordinary heights. We often complain about what doesn’t happen here, but the sheer scale of achievement in Bengal’s healthcare sector is beyond imagination. That is when we decided to create this unique program—a tribute to the medical community and the doctors who are so integral to our lives. We aim to share their achievements with everyone, fostering an understanding of what they have accomplished and what remains possible. Our ‘Suswasthya’ program has been running for years, and this year’s edition promises to be a landmark event. I believe that once you see these true role models and witness their work firsthand, it will inspire us all to approach our own lives and work in a better, more meaningful way.”

 

TV9 Bangla Suswasthya 2026 stands as a tribute to the doctors and healthcare institutions whose relentless pursuit of excellence continues to safeguard lives and inspire a healthier future for Bengal.

 

The sponsors that have supported the event deserves special mention:

Co-powered by – Jagannath Gupta Institute of Medical Sciences & Hospital

Co-powered by – Suraksha Diagnostics

Trophy Partner – Health Check; Behala Chowrasta, Greenfield City

Knowledge Partner- Katha-O-Kahini Prakshani

Special Partner – IQ City Knowledge & Health Campus, Durgapur

“Please” and “ASAP” Backfire: Chaser Data Reveals the Words that Slow Work Down

An analysis of nearly 300,000 delegated tasks in Slack identifies counterintuitive findings about task management in the workplace

TORONTO, August 6 — Chaser today released findings from a two-year analysis of project management in Slack. Drawing on nearly 300,000 tasks across more than 1,000 teams, the report identifies the specific, repeatable habits that make a delegated task more likely to be completed on time.

The findings are based on actual task data from the Chaser platform, not self-reported surveys. Several findings upend common assumptions, including that politeness and urgency speed things up.

Key findings

  • Politeness and urgency backfire. Adding these to a task yields roughly 10% lower on-time delivery. Tasks including the word “please” were completed late 38.2% of the time, and tasks marked “ASAP” or “!!!” were completed late 37.7% of the time. Tasks written as neutral, direct requests were completed late 31.4% of the time.
  • Avoid diffusion of responsibility. A task with a single owner was 66.8% more likely to be delivered on time than one shared between two people (67.3% vs. 40.3%). Work that people volunteered to claim was the most reliable of all, at 70.9%.
  • Build in extra time for West Coasters. Tasks in Eastern-time workspaces are 32% more likely to be on time than tasks in Pacific-time workspaces.
  • Post it publicly. A task shared in a channel was 44% more likely to be on time than one sent by private message (65.6% vs. 45.7%).
  • Always set a due date. A task with no due date was 2.5 times as likely to never be completed at all (5.4% vs. 2.2%).

Chaser is the project-management platform built for Slack that lets both people and AI assistants like Claude assign and track work. Built to end the cycle of endlessly chasing colleagues, Chaser automates follow-ups and tracks all tasks inside of Slack – where your team already works. Not just another plug-in to another platform, Chaser brings task management to the Slack channels where the work is actually happening.

The habits compound

Chaser identified four habits that consistently separate reliable delegation from the rest: assigning a single owner, posting the task in a shared channel, setting a tight deadline, and sending the request in the morning. Each one independently lifts on time delivery and together they add up. A task set up with all four habits was more than twice as likely to be completed on time as one that followed just one of them (78.4% vs. 38.0%).

“I never thought about these as ‘habits,’ but reading the report, I realized I do all of them,” said Dennis Chiratcu, founder and CEO of Writeof. “I’ve learned not to be loose with deadlines, my team actually asks me to be specific. Now Chaser does that for me, so I’m not the one constantly chasing people. It’s become the backbone of how we run; we rely on it to stay on top of the time-sensitive work we do for clients and it keeps anything from slipping through the cracks. We used to run task boards in Notion, but with Chaser right inside Slack, we’d never use anything else.”

“The most encouraging thing here is how ordinary the fixes are,” said Josh Martow, CEO and co-founder of Chaser. “Whether you use Chaser or another project management tool, these findings can help anyone make their collaboration and delegation more effective. The data makes it clear that little tweaks to how a task is created have a big impact on how and when the work gets done.”

Methodology

Findings are drawn from 290,214 tasks created in Chaser between June 2024 and June 2026 by 8,111 people across 1,109 teams, ranging from workspaces of a few Slack members to organizations of more than 90,000. On-time statistics reflect the 135,141 completed, delegated tasks that had an original due date; tasks people assigned to themselves are excluded. A task is counted as on time if it was completed on or before its due day, evaluated in the task’s own timezone. Findings are correlational and describe observed patterns rather than proven cause and effect.

TraceLink Leads the Industry With the First Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower With Reasoning

TraceLink’s Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower transforms operational data into trusted business understanding through reasoning, analytics, active monitoring, and observability, enabling people and governed OPUS Agents to collaborate on intelligent decisions

BOSTON, August 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TraceLink, the world’s largest Agentic Business Network for the life sciences and healthcare supply chain, today introduced the first truly Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower, an operational intelligence platform that combines analytics, reasoning, active monitoring, and observability to power the Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model.

TraceLink logo

Traditional control towers were designed for visibility. Today’s multienterprise supply networks require operational intelligence that understands business context, enables reasoning, and coordinates work across people, enterprise systems, trading partners, and governed OPUS Agents. The Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower transforms business activity into the trusted operational understanding needed for faster decisions, coordinated execution, and continuous adaptation across the enterprise and partner network.

Built on the Agentic Supply Chain Operating System and powered by the world’s largest Agentic Business Network—linking more than 315,000 authenticated entities and supporting hundreds of billions of annual supply chain exchanges—the Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower enables organizations to coordinate work across people, enterprise systems, trading partners, and governed OPUS Agents with greater speed, resilience, and confidence.

“The role of the supply chain control tower is fundamentally changing,” said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. “Traditional control towers helped organizations monitor operations. As AI becomes an active participant in supply chain work, organizations need operational intelligence that provides trusted business context, enables reasoning, and coordinates work across people, enterprise systems, trading partners, and governed OPUS Agents. The Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model requires an Agentic Control Tower to power the transformation.”

The First Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower

The Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower redefines the traditional control tower as the intelligence layer for the Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model. It brings together foundational OPUS Platform capabilities that transform operational data into trusted business understanding, enabling people and governed OPUS Agents to collaborate on intelligent decisions across the end-to-end supply network.

  • Scalable Analytics

    Built on a redesigned analytics architecture that supports enterprise-scale workloads, OPUS Reports and Dashboards (ORD) moves analytics beyond the scalability and performance limits of traditional reporting environments, enabling organizations to analyze dramatically larger volumes of operational data. Recent enhancements deliver at least 30% faster reporting while extending analytics from thousands of rows to datasets containing millions of rows. Organizations can transform growing volumes of operational data into trusted business understanding that accelerates decision-making, strengthens operational resilience, and improves execution across the end-to-end supply network.
  • Agentic Reasoning

    OPUS Brain—TraceLink’s agentic reasoning engine—uses reasoning artifacts, semantic search, short-term memory, and object metadata to guide OPUS Agents to perform work consistently without hallucinations. Rather than simply presenting information, it enables organizations to make more deterministic decisions, reduce dependence on manual interpretation, and confidently scale AI-assisted work under appropriate governance and human oversight.
  • Event-Driven Intelligence

    Object Events and Object Action Scripts continuously observe conditions and initiate governed responses as transactions and workflows progress. By sensing meaningful supply chain events as they occur, organizations can reduce response times, improve exception management, and shift from reactive issue management to proactive coordination.
  • Semantic Business Context

    Semantic models, canonical objects, and enhanced reference data capabilities ensure information is interpreted consistently across systems, trading partners, and processes. This shared understanding creates a common language that increases confidence in automation, AI-driven recommendations, and standardized execution.
  • Continuous Observability

    OPUS Metrics and Lakehouse capabilities measure performance, system activity, transaction processing, agent utilization, and outcomes to create a continuous feedback loop for improvement. With greater insight into both execution and agent performance, organizations can identify bottlenecks, optimize processes, and continuously improve supply chain performance over time.

At FutureLink Barcelona, attendees will see how the Agentic Supply Chain Control Tower enables the Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model by combining operational intelligence, reasoning, and governed collaboration between people and OPUS Agents to transform how work is performed across the end-to-end supply network.

About TraceLink

TraceLink powers the transformation to an Agentic Supply Chain Operating Model for life sciences and healthcare by combining human expertise with agentic work across the end-to-end supply network.

Through Agentic Business Processes, Agentic Control Towers, the Integrate-Once™ Agentic Business Network, and governed OPUS Agents, TraceLink enables companies to significantly improve productivity, service, inventory, working capital, cost, compliance, quality, resilience, and revenue performance.

Powered by the OPUS Platform and the world’s largest Agentic Business Network, which links more than 315,000 authenticated business entities and hundreds of billions of annual supply chain transactions, TraceLink enables companies to digitalize business transactions, create trusted operational context, and perform work across multienterprise supply chain processes with greater speed, intelligence, control, and accountability.

YBVR Launches CultVRe, a New Immersive Platform Bringing Culture Beyond the Screen

The new mobile and VR platform expands YBVR’s immersive media ecosystem into performance, art, heritage, and film.

YBVR has officially launched CultVRe, a new immersive platform designed to bring audiences closer to culture through mobile and virtual reality experiences.

Created by YBVR, the company behind experiential sports and music platforms including Xtadium and Xtadium Music, CultVRe marks the company’s expansion into the cultural sector. The platform gives cultural institutions, creators, and partners a new way to extend the reach of their content beyond physical venues and traditional screens.

CultVRe made its public debut at CM Málaga, where YBVR introduced the platform to cultural leaders, institutions, creators, and industry partners exploring the future of immersive storytelling.

Available on iOS, Android, and Meta Quest, CultVRe brings together point-of-view experiences that put audiences inside performance, art, heritage, and film. At launch, CultVRe features immersive heritage content from Toledo Monumental, while YBVR continues to expand its cultural pipeline through collaborations with leading institutions including San Francisco Ballet. 

“CultVRe represents a natural evolution for YBVR,” said Héctor Prieto, CEO of YBVR. “We have spent years developing immersive technology for sports and live entertainment, helping audiences feel closer to moments they could not physically attend. With CultVRe, we are applying that expertise to culture, heritage, and travel, creating new opportunities for institutions, destinations, artists, and partners to bring people closer to places, stories, and performances they may never otherwise experience in person.”

CultVRe is built around a simple idea: culture should be able to travel further. Through first-person video and spatial experiences, the platform allows audiences to step inside curated stories, places and performances from wherever they are, creating a stronger sense of presence, proximity, and access.

For cultural institutions and rights holders, CultVRe opens new possibilities for digital distribution, audience development, education, sponsorship, and long-term content value. Rather than replacing the live experience, the platform is designed to extend it, helping cultural content reach new audiences across devices and geographies.

The launch of CultVRe builds on YBVR’s experience in immersive media, multi-platform video delivery and fan engagement. Through its existing work in sports and music, YBVR has developed technology that brings audiences closer to live and on-demand experiences through mobile, VR, and connected devices. CultVRe brings that expertise into a new category, creating a dedicated destination for immersive culture.

CultVRe is free to download and is now available on iOS, Android, and Meta Quest. Audiences can download the app and explore the platform at https://ybvr.com/cultvre/.

Users can also follow CultVRe on Instagram at @cultvre.app for updates on new content and upcoming experiences.

Pranav Nambiar Joins Rackspace Technology to Scale Sovereign AI Infrastructure

August 6, 2026

San Antonio, TX – August 6, 2026 – Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a global enterprise AI infrastructure and solutions provider, today announced the appointment of Pranav Nambiar as Senior Vice President and General Manager, AI Infrastructure. Nambiar will lead the infrastructure, operating model, partnerships and go-to-market strategy behind Rackspace’s AI infrastructure offerings, further strengthening the company’s position as a governed, model-agnostic operator of AI in production for regulated and mission-critical enterprises.

As enterprises move AI out of pilots and into production, demand has shifted from raw GPU capacity to governed compute: sovereign environments, compliance by design and operational discipline at scale. Nambiar’s appointment accelerates Rackspace’s investment in exactly that layer.

Nambiar brings more than two decades of experience architecting multi-billion-dollar technology ecosystems and delivering transformative growth at Amazon Web Services, DigitalOcean, Google and Microsoft. At DigitalOcean, he served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of AI and Data Cloud, leading the company’s strategic shift into a premier “AI Neo Cloud” and expanding production inference infrastructure for thousands of customers.

“Enterprise AI has moved past the question of which model to use. The hard problem now is the infrastructure and operating discipline around the model: governed, sovereign, compliant and running in production at scale,” said Gajen Kandiah, CEO of Rackspace Technology. “Pranav has spent his career building and scaling AI and cloud platforms at hyperscale, and he knows what it takes to run AI as a reliable operation rather than a pilot.
