Now offering access to the widest range of devices and operating systems and expanding availability of Corellium on Google Cloud

TYSONS CORNER, Va. and PETAH TIKVA, Israel, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in AI-powered Digital Investigative and Intelligence solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced its Spring 2026 Release. The release expands device access capabilities across the widest range of iOS and Android devices and operating systems, including support for iPhone 17 and iOS 26, and brings Corellium availability to Google Cloud infrastructure, now in public preview.

Digital investigations now routinely span multiple devices, platforms and data types. The majority arrive locked when they enter digital forensics labs, and in North America that figure reaches 75%, putting time-sensitive evidence at risk without the right solution available.

MORE DATA SOURCES AND PRESERVED EVIDENCE

Cellebrite’s mission protecting communities, nations and businesses is driven by constant innovation to lawfully access the devices, data sources and conditions investigators encounter in the field.

In addition to enhanced access capabilities covering a broader range of devices, Cellebrite’s digital forensics customers can now benefit from Safeguard Mode, a new feature which is designed to streamline data capture and addresses the inactivity timers to quickly secure essential information in time-sensitive conditions.

In addition, Cellebrite now offers drone forensics that aims to enable extraction and analysis of critical data from dozens of the most prevalent unmanned aerial systems, including flight logs, video and geolocation artifacts. With portable, field-ready capabilities, teams can rapidly access drone data and view flight paths right at the point of collection.

“Investigators face more devices, more data types and more locked screens than ever before,” said Ronnen Armon, chief products and technologies officer, Cellebrite. “This release keeps our access capabilities ahead of that curve, while expanding cloud options for organizations that need to test and secure mobile platforms, software across vehicles, and embedded systems.”

AUTOMAKERS CAN VIRTUALLY TEST HARDWARE ON GOOGLE CLOUD

Protecting businesses means securing the software that powers the systems they build and operate. 

Testing the multiple, interconnected digital systems and related software that help run today’s motor vehicles is a massively complex and expensive undertaking. Maintaining the physical vehicles and associated hardware across generations, chipsets and configurations is challenging, particularly as vehicles become increasingly software enabled.

“The public preview availability of Corellium on Google Cloud Axion C4A metal instances reflects growing demand for Arm-based infrastructure to support complex development and security workloads,” said Florian Haubner, Industry Architect Lead Automotive at Google Cloud. “We’re excited to support Cellebrite’s Corellium platform as it brings scalable, system-level validation to Google Cloud customers across mobile, embedded, and automotive environments.”

Corellium by Cellebrite changes the dynamics for automakers, aiming to address an emerging use case for automotive and industrialized systems manufacturers. By virtualizing Arm-based systems at the hardware level, Corellium enables automotive software teams to recreate and test complete vehicle environments in the cloud, from low-level controllers and safety-critical systems to autonomous driving compute to in-cabin and infotainment applications, at the speed of real silicon, without maintaining physical infrastructure. Teams can scale testing across hundreds of system variations and identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle.

BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATIONS AT C2C USER SUMMIT 2026

Join the C2C User Summit 2026, Cellebrite’s annual user conference, in Washington, D.C., April 13–17, 2026 where Cellebrite will showcase Spring 2026 Release capabilities. The Company will also host a virtual event on April 29, 2026.

RTP Global leads the $25 million round as Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Toyota, Deutsche Telekom, BHP and Crédit Agricole turn to Kestra to orchestrate mission-critical workflows across data, AI and infrastructure.

NEW YORK, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kestra, the open-source orchestration platform unifying data, AI, infrastructure and business workflows, today announced a $25 million Series A funding round led by RTP Global, with continued participation from Alven, ISAI and Axeleo. The round brings Kestra’s total funding to $36 million.

Since its seed round 18 months ago, Kestra has grown enterprise revenue 25× and executed over 2 billion workflows in 2025, up 20× year over year. With 26,000+ GitHub stars across 30,000+ organizations worldwide, Kestra is the fastest-growing open-source orchestration platform in the industry.

The funding will accelerate the launch of Kestra 2.0, the company’s most significant product milestone, and expand go-to-market operations across North America and Europe.

The Orchestration Crisis at the Heart of the Enterprise

Enterprise automation has reached a breaking point. Organizations run workflows across cloud and on-prem infrastructure, AI agents, real-time data pipelines and microservices, stitched together with schedulers and scripts never designed for today’s complexity. The result: silent failures, lengthy compliance reviews and undocumented business-critical logic.

Kestra addresses this with a unified orchestration control plane: declarative by design, extensible across 1,200+ plugins, and built for hybrid and air-gapped environments.

“As workflows become more distributed and AI-native, legacy schedulers and fragmented tooling can’t keep up, and the cost of that gap is no longer theoretical. Kestra is emerging as the orchestration layer modern enterprises need. Emmanuel, Ludovic and the team have combined deep technical vision with impressive enterprise traction, and we believe Kestra is positioned to become the global standard for workflow orchestration,” said Thomas Cuvelier, Partner at RTP Global.

Proven Where It Matters Most

Engineers choose Kestra because it works in production, and enterprises standardize on it once that value becomes strategic.

• At Apple, hundreds of AI engineers orchestrate pipelines between their data warehouse and AI platform without managing the infrastructure underneath.
• At Toyota, Kestra unified previously siloed data and AI pipelines, creating a single governed control plane across platforms and environments.
• At JPMorgan Chase, security teams orchestrate cybersecurity analytics workflows, processing billions of rows and triggering automated remediation across platforms.
• At BHP, Kestra replaced a VMware vRA environment across global mining facilities. Infrastructure provisioning went from six months to six days.
• At Crédit Agricole, infrastructure teams replaced fragmented scripts and cron jobs with a single orchestration layer, secure and manageable across multiple teams.

“Most enterprise software companies try to sell top-down and hope developers adopt. We inverted that model. Engineers didn’t adopt Kestra because we marketed to them — they adopted it because they were frustrated, and Kestra worked. Everything we’ve built since flows from that trust. That’s the only way to build durable enterprise infrastructure in 2026,” said Emmanuel Darras, CEO and Co-founder of Kestra.

What Comes Next

The funding will accelerate four priorities:

• Kestra 2.0: A new distributed execution engine built for mission-critical reliability at scale, with real-time observability and native agentic orchestration.
• Kestra Cloud: A fully managed SaaS experience with usage-based pricing, empowering teams that want to move fast without self-hosting.
• Go-to-market expansion: Deepen Kestra’s presence in North America and Europe, including growth across field engineering, partnerships and customer success.
• Open-source investment: Continued focus on developer experience, expanding the plugin ecosystem and strengthening the path from experimentation to enterprise deployment.

About Kestra

Kestra Technologies is the company behind Kestra, the open-source orchestration platform redefining how enterprises automate complex systems. Founded in 2021 by Emmanuel Darras and Ludovic Dehon, Kestra unifies data pipelines, AI workflows, infrastructure automation and business processes into a single orchestration control plane designed for modern distributed architectures.

The platform is trusted by 30,000+ organizations worldwide — including Bloomberg, Toyota, BHP, Crédit Agricole, JPMorgan Chase, Apple, and Xiaomi — and executed over 2 billion workflows in 2025.

• Marking its five-year anniversary as a member of the oneworld alliance, Alaska highlights its expanded global reach, now connecting guests to more than 900 worldwide destinations 

SEATTLE, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Alaska Airlines today announced the debut of its all-new International Business Class, a premium long-haul experience launching this spring as the airline expands to Europe and Asia. The unveiling marks a significant milestone in Alaska’s transformation into the West Coast’s global carrier and Seattle’s new leader in international travel — one that now connects guests to over 900 worldwide destinations through the oneworld alliance.

A refined International Business Class built for global travel

Designed for long-haul travelers while delivering Alaska’s signature West Coast warmth and hospitality, the airline’s new International Business Class on brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners offers:

• Fully lie-flat‑ suites with privacy doors, direct aisle access and spacious lounge-style seating that converts into a true flat bed.
• Modern cabin design featuring 18-inch HD entertainment screens, over 1,500 movies and TV shows, noise-reducing headsets, personal power outlets and wireless charging‑.
• Elevated restaurant-quality dining delivers a multi-course culinary journey before guests even reach their destination. Each menu celebrates the flavors of the West Coast and the global destinations Alaska serves.
  • The experience begins with a sophisticated welcome service featuring a cheese and charcuterie board — a refined interpretation of Alaska’s iconic Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter — paired with an expanded selection of wines from the West Coast and regions in Europe such as Stag’s Leap, including Roederer Champagne, handcrafted cocktails, West Coast craft beer, mineral water and freshly brewed Stumptown coffee.
  • The meal continues with an appetizer course followed by a personalized main dining experience with up to six entrée choices tailored to each route. Options may include Pollo Ripieno, a traditional stuffed chicken, on flights to Rome and Gochujang chicken with traditional banchan en route to Incheon. Guests may also select Alaska’s Chef’s (Tray) Table entrée, developed in partnership with award-winning Seattle chef Brady Ishiwata Williams, featuring his signature short rib sourced from Klingemann Farms. Meals can be conveniently selected in advance through Alaska’s industry-leading pre-order feature in the airline’s app.
  • Following the entrée service, guests are invited to enjoy Alaska’s new dessert cart, showcasing a customizable Salt & Straw sundae service alongside other artisanal desserts.
  • Prior to arrival, guests will be treated to a refreshing pre arrival beverage, paired with a destination inspired meal, such as a classic full English breakfast on flights to London.
• Premium bedding and travel amenity kits will include luxury bedding designed in collaboration with Pacific Northwest icon Filson. International Business Class amenities include a plush mattress pad, soft sleeping pillow, lumbar/lounging pillow and oversized duvet — plus a collectible travel amenity bag in two West Coast-inspired Filson colors, created exclusively for Alaska Airlines. Each kit includes premium Salt & Stone skincare products and other travel essentials. Guests will also receive a custom reusable water bottle developed in partnership with PATH Water.
• Premium Lounge access across Alaska’s network of lounges, featuring welcoming spaces designed for comfort, seasonal dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, a premium bar program and a full barista bar. International Business Class guests also enjoy access to oneworld partner lounges worldwide. Plus oneworld Emerald members receive entry to First Class lounges – regardless of class of travel – a level of benefits only the oneworld alliance extends to its top tier members.
• Coming soon: Starlink, the fastest Wi‑Fi in the sky, is scheduled to be installed on Alaska’s 787‑9 Dreamliners this fall. Starlink is already available on select aircraft across Alaska’s fleet, delivering gate‑to‑gate connectivity. Starting in May, guests flying on any Starlink‑enabled Alaska aircraft will need to sign in using their Atmos™ Rewards number to enjoy the full experience. Signing up is fast and easy. And thanks to Alaska’s partnership with T‑Mobile, guests will enjoy Starlink completely free.

“We set out to design a Business Class experience that is both sophisticated and authentically Alaska: premium, comfortable and thoughtfully created for our guests,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. “When we debut our new product this spring, it will raise the bar and redefine long-haul travel, while continuing to deliver the remarkable care that sets Alaska apart on the global stage.” 

No matter where guests sit, Alaska designs every cabin experience with comfort and care. Guests across both International Premium Class and Main Cabin will enjoy complimentary meals and a plush Filson blanket and pillow to rest and relax throughout the journey. Alaska’s International Premium Class offers four extra inches of legroom, power outlets, 12-inch HD screens, complimentary alcoholic beverages, plus a thoughtfully curated amenity kit by Filson.

The new product and experience coincide with the expansion of Alaska’s international network to Europe, beginning with nonstop service from Seattle to Rome, and will also be offered on flights from Seattle to Seoul starting in April and Tokyo this fall. Clocking in at just over 7 hours of flight time, service to Reykjavík’s Keflavík International Airport will be operated on a 737 MAX 8 and feature its own upgraded premium experience designed to bring comfort and care to the unique needs of that route.

Alaska’s new service from Seattle to Rome begins April 28, followed by London on May 21 and Reykjavík, Iceland on May 28. Tickets are available now at alaskaair.com.

From Seattle to the world: Alaska Airlines celebrates five years of global connectivity

The debut of Alaska’s long-haul Business Class comes as the airline celebrates five years as a member of the oneworld alliance, a milestone that has expanded its global reach and unlocked a new era of international growth.

Since joining oneworld on March 31, 2021, Alaska and its partners now offer seamless connections to more than 900 destinations worldwide, enabling travel on a single ticket. From London Heathrow Airport, guests can continue easily with oneworld partners to destinations such as Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Paris and Venice – with bags checked through to your final destination.  

Atmos or oneworld elite status is also recognized across all oneworld partner airlines, offering priority services, extra baggage perks and access to premium lounges across the world.

“Five years ago today we joined the oneworld alliance – a network of the world’s leading airlines – giving our guests more ways to explore the globe while earning and redeeming points toward their next journey and enjoying their Atmos status benefits along the way,” said Alex Judson, managing director of partnerships & international at Alaska Airlines. “Together with our alliance partners, we’ll soon connect guests to world-class destinations across Europe and beyond.”

New platform capabilities integrate data, real‑time insights and automation to deliver a seamless experience for HR leaders

DUBLIN, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced enhancements to its Radford McLagan Compensation Database as demand for artificial intelligence (AI) talent and roles intensifies across industries.

The Database now reports AI-specific job families, which include titles such as head of AI, applied research scientist, machine learning engineer and AI ethics, providing greater transparency into how the market defines and values these roles. Built on rigorously validated, non‑crowdsourced data, the Database covers over 30 million employees across 115 countries and 150 job functions.

“AI is requiring organizations to make faster decisions in an environment where roles, skills and expectations are changing in real time,” said Byron Beebe, CEO of Human Capital for Aon. “As organizations redesign jobs to keep pace with AI, traditional frameworks are struggling to keep up. By expanding the Radford McLagan Compensation Database with new AI job families and enhanced analytics, we’re helping leaders ground pay decisions in current, defensible market data — even as the market continues to evolve.”

As AI reshapes how work gets done, organizations are confronting a shift in the skills they need and how those skills should be valued. Employers increasingly expect roles to evolve in real time, blending technical expertise with responsibilities spanning strategy, governance, risk and operations. As a result, job scope is changing faster than traditional role definitions and compensation frameworks were designed to handle.

Based on insights from the Radford McLagan Compensation Database, core AI roles such as machine learning engineers, applied data and research scientists and AI platform engineers are among the fastest growing roles in the market, alongside rising demand for adjacent skills such as data engineering and cybersecurity. At the same time, pay premiums for AI-driven skills are raising the stakes for organizations seeking to remain competitive while maintaining equity and defensibility in pay decisions.

These insights also complement Aon’s AI workforce transformation solutions, which help organizations understand how AI is likely to automate or augment work at scale — guiding investment decisions across jobs, skills and talent strategies.

In addition to the AI-specific job families, Aon enhanced the Radford McLagan Compensation Database to support HR leaders navigating this change by delivering decision-ready compensation intelligence grounded in trusted market data. Key Database enhancements include:

• Flexible, validated data submission: Direct integration with client HRIS and ATS systems via API connections allows organizations to submit data in formats that reflect how roles actually exist today. A new, real‑time validation dashboard provides immediate feedback, flags inconsistencies and significantly reduces manual effort, supporting more accurate benchmarks for roles whose scope and responsibilities are evolving faster than traditional job frameworks.
   
• AI‑enabled job matching and compensation assistant: Access to AI‑powered tools that simplify compensation benchmarking by accurately matching roles to the market and delivering on-demand pay insights. Using natural‑language instructions and seamless data integration, Aon’s job‑matching agent automates role matching and report configuration, reducing friction while improving benchmark quality. Powered by proprietary machine‑learning models, the solution is complemented by Aon’s AI Compensation Assistant, which provides on-demand access to compensation data by allowing users to save time through simplified workflows.
   
• Real‑time labor market insights: Live market signals complement traditional survey data to provide current context for pay decisions as conditions shift. By integrating real‑time insights alongside rigorously validated compensation data, the Radford McLagan Compensation Database helps organizations understand how AI‑driven roles are being valued in the market — supporting timely decisions while maintaining governance, equity and accountability.

“Compensation leaders are being asked to move faster on AI driven roles while also standing behind their decisions under increased board and regulatory scrutiny,” said Jason Trull, global head of talent data solutions for Aon. “In that environment, defensibility matters as much as speed, and the quality of the underlying benchmarks becomes critical.”

About the Radford McLagan Compensation Database  
Aon’s Radford McLagan Compensation Database, powered by the firm’s Human Capital Analytics platform, has been a trusted industry benchmark for more than 50 years. Built on rigorously validated, non-crowdsourced data, it is relied on by over 8,500 organizations and includes information on more than 30 million employees across 115 countries and 150 job functions. The Database delivers a comprehensive view of global compensation trends, helping organizations make better decisions.
