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.

Cyble Titan is available today. Sign up at https://titan.cyble.com.

HTX Launches TradFi Trade to Earn #2: Trade TradFi Assets with Negative Fee Rates and Share an $80,000 Prize Pool

APIA, Samoa, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On August 5, HTX officially launched the second phase of its TradFi Trade to Earn campaign. The event brings together 28 selected TradFi perpetual futures trading pairs across four major asset categories: stocks, indices, commodities, and precious metals. Through a dual-track incentive structure, users can trade with negative fee rates and support $HTX buybacks. With a total prize pool of $80,000, the event allows users to trade popular global TradFi assets while earning substantial rewards.

For full event details, please visit: https://www.htx.com.hr/en-us/support/45040173530399/

Trade U.S. Stock Perps on HTX with Negative Fee Rates

From now until August 15, 11:59 (UTC), users who complete event registration and trade the designated TradFi futures pairs will receive $HTX rewards, calculated as the actual trading fees multiplied by an order reward ratio: 110% for Maker orders and 105% for Taker orders. This means users can trade popular TradFi assets at negative fee rates — the higher the trading volume, the greater the rewards. For high-frequency traders in particular, the trading cost structure and overall trading experience can be significantly improved.

HTX debuted its first TradFi Trade to Earn campaign in July. The campaign received a strong market response and achieved great success, generating over 63 million USDT in trading volume across selected pairs and distributing over 23,000 USDT in rewards within 10 days. To give back to global users, TradFi Trade to Earn #2 further expands the prize pool, offering daily rewards of up to $8,000 equivalent $HTX rewards.

Notably, all fee revenue generated by users on designated TradFi futures pairs during the event period will be used for $HTX buybacks. The repurchased tokens will be burned as part of the quarterly $HTX burn, supporting the stable, long-term appreciation of $HTX.

A Curated Selection of High-Quality Assets

HTX’s TradFi zone brings global core assets into the crypto exchange framework, freeing users from the trading hours and geographical restrictions of traditional markets. Users can now participate in TradFi asset trading 24/7, seizing opportunities from global macro events, industry catalysts, and price movements to achieve more efficient asset allocation and risk management. This phase of the campaign features 28 high-liquidity trading pairs across four asset categories: Precious metals: XAU, XAUT, XAG, PAXG. Commodities: USOIL, BRENTOIL. Indices: SPX500, QQQ, SOXL, EWY. Stocks: SNDK, SKHYNIX, SPCX, MU, SKHY, TSLAX, GOOGL, AAPL, APP, INTCX, NVDA, ZHIPU, MSTRX, AMD, MSFT, CXMT, MRVL, CRCLX.

Closing Thoughts

As one of the early pioneers expanding into the crypto-TradFi intersection, HTX continues to deepen its strategic focus on this sector through ongoing Trade to Earn initiatives and ongoing token listings. Building on its TradFi strategy, HTX plans to introduce more asset classes, advanced trading instruments, and targeted user campaigns, giving users worldwide richer investment options and a seamless one-stop trading experience.

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.

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.

GLG’s AI-Moderated Calls Unlock Expert Insights at New Speed and Scale

Clients can engage trusted experts with conversational AI agent, capturing qualitative depth and quantitative data in 10 languages

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GLG, the world’s leading platform for trusted human expertise, today announced its enhanced AI-Moderated Calls offering, enabling clients globally to engage experts through autonomously conducted calls in 10 languages. The AI Moderator is purpose-built to guide structured calls with nuanced conversational capabilities, gathering qualitative and quantitative insights with greater speed and scale.

“Trusted human expertise has never been more valuable – and our AI-Moderated Calls help make access to it more scalable than ever for our clients, letting them conduct critical research on any timeline,” said GLG CEO Gemma Postlethwaite. “This tool is another step toward the future we’re building, where our clients can harness the power of our network together with AI to get more out of every expert interaction, without sacrificing nuance, depth, or trust.”

The enhanced AI Moderator is agentic, multi-modal, and compliant – emulating a human researcher that operates within the industry’s most trusted environment. It probes for nuance and follows up on experts’ answers, while adhering closely to client-set discussion guides and keeping each conversation on track. Clients can also program the AI Moderator to garner quantitative feedback through multiple choice, scale, and matrix-style questions – with data exported directly to Excel so clients can focus on uncovering insights rather than extracting metrics.

With no need for calendar coordination, AI-Moderated Calls can occur simultaneously across time zones. Experts have the flexibility to complete these engagements at their convenience – removing barriers to gathering insights from hard-to-reach experts. After calls conclude, clients can synthesize transcripts with a single click to surface key, actionable themes – with all outputs traceable to named experts and timestamps.

“We design all our products to empower GLG clients and experts to do their best work within a frictionless experience – so we partnered with them directly to build and enhance a tool that understands how a great research conversation unfolds,” said GLG Chief Product Officer John Londono. “So far, experts tell us it’s easy to use with the Moderator conducting a natural and engaging conversation, and clients say it accelerates time-to-insight to just hours. We’re excited to continue developing this offering alongside our broader suite of AI-powered capabilities.”

AI-Moderated Calls can be conducted in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin, all under GLG’s industry-leading compliance framework. Learn more about GLG’s AI-Moderated Calls here, and reach out to your GLG service representative for a demo.

Blockchain.com Secures VASP Custody Services Licence in the Cayman Islands

    Further strengthening the progress marked by MiCA and FCA milestones, Blockchain.com secures custody services licence as the Company seamlessly integrates into the island’s tech community

CAMANA BAY, Cayman Islands, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blockchain.com has officially reached a historic regulatory milestone: we have now secured our definitive Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) custody services licence from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) through our Cayman Islands subsidiary.

Blockchain.com is also doubling down on our commitment to the local community. In June, Blockchain.com partnered with TechCayman, the premier facilitator for global technology companies establishing a physical presence in the region.

Through this collaboration, the Company will soon welcome its first on-island hire to support the growing operations and local ecosystem. TechCayman is providing the sponsorship framework, operational support, and local network needed to seamlessly integrate Blockchain.com into the island’s tech community.

“Our VASP custody services licence builds on the regulatory momentum we’ve established with our recent MiCA and FCA approvals” said Lane Kasselman, Co-CEO at Blockchain.com. “We believe strong regulation is essential to the long-term development of digital assets, and these approvals further strengthen our ability to serve customers across the region.”

Adding to Blockchain.com’s recent major regulatory milestones over the past 12 months – including obtaining its MiCA licence in Europe and its FCA registration in the UK – securing the CIMA licence to provide custody services and other virtual asset services powers a comprehensive suite of regulated services:

• Institutional Custody: Enterprise-grade, highly secure storage solutions built for institutional digital asset management.
• Institutional Staking: Professional infrastructure allowing organizations to seamlessly participate in network consensus and earn yield.
• Retail Staking: Accessible staking for retail users, enabling yield generation within a fully compliant environment.

Since 2011, Blockchain.com has facilitated over $1.1 trillion in transactions while serving more than 43 million verified users. Our journey has always been guided by a compliance-first mindset. From Europe and the UK to the Caribbean, clear regulatory frameworks and local engagement are essential for the long-term stability and adoption of crypto.

In December 2025, CIMA had granted a conditional approval of the Company’s application for licensing. As of 22 July 2026, all the conditions for approval have been met and the Company is duly licensed with CIMA to provide virtual asset custody services. The Company has also been approved to provide the following virtual asset services: (i) exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies, and (ii) exchange between one or more other forms of convertible virtual assets. This licence marks a significant achievement in our regulatory process in this jurisdiction, transitioning our operations from conditional status to definitive, long-term regulatory integration within one of the world’s premier financial hubs. Prior to the grant of the licence, the Company held a VASP registration since May 2022.

About Blockchain.com 

Blockchain.com is connecting the world to the future of finance. The most trusted and fastest-growing global crypto company helps millions safely access cryptocurrency. Since its inception in 2011, Blockchain.com has supported over 94 million wallets, 43 million verified users, and more than $1.1 trillion in crypto transactions.

DXC and Primary Launch AI-Native Zero Trust Platform for Enterprise AI

• DXC becomes the exclusive managed services partner for Primary’s AI-native Zero Trust Unified Control Plane, helping enterprises securely scale AI.
• New joint offering helps businesses and government agencies govern how AI agents and enterprise AI applications access data while strengthening security, identity, and compliance.
• DXC’s managed security services deliver consulting, implementation, integration, governance, and ongoing operations to accelerate secure AI adoption.

ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) today announced a strategic partnership with Primary, becoming the exclusive managed services provider for Primary’s AI-native Zero Trust Platform. The joint offering helps enterprises securely deploy and scale AI by governing how AI agents and enterprise AI applications access data, while strengthening security, identity, and compliance.

As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, they face a new security challenge: governing autonomous AI systems that access sensitive enterprise data. Traditional security models were built for users, devices, and networks—not AI agents operating across complex enterprise environments.

Together, DXC and Primary are addressing that gap with a platform purpose-built for AI security and governance. Delivered through DXC’s global cybersecurity organization, the offering combines consulting, implementation, integration, governance, and managed security services to help customers operationalize AI with greater visibility, control, and trust.

“As enterprises move from AI pilots to production, security and governance must evolve just as quickly,” said Dawn-Marie Vaughan, Cybersecurity Global Offering Lead, DXC Technology. “Trusted AI requires more than securing infrastructure; it requires governing how AI systems access data, identities, and business processes. Together with Primary, we are helping customers bring Zero Trust to enterprise AI, with the visibility, control, and operational confidence needed to move from pilot to production.”

Delivered through DXC’s global cybersecurity organization, the offering helps customers:

• Secure AI agents and enterprise AI applications
• Govern AI access to enterprise data
• Strengthen identity and policy enforcement
• Reduce risk across enterprise environments
• Support compliance and regulatory requirements
• Increase visibility across users, applications, data, and AI agents

“The defining security challenge of enterprise AI is not simply seeing what an AI agent is doing—it is having enough context to determine whether that action should be allowed, as well as the corresponding infrastructure to automate enforcement of that real-time decision,” said Michael Marx, Primary’s Co-Founder + President. “Primary transforms cross-domain telemetry into continuous, context-aware policy enforcement across the full AI workflow. With DXC’s global implementation and managed security expertise, customers can establish a unified control layer that protects sensitive data, reduces operational risk, and enables AI systems to act securely within clearly defined enterprise boundaries.”

Designed for organizations operating in highly regulated environments, the platform helps address growing requirements for governance, compliance, data sovereignty, and security. By embedding Zero Trust principles directly into enterprise AI environments, DXC and Primary help customers move from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment with the resilience and control needed to innovate with confidence.

About DXC Technology

DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) is a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner delivering software, services, and solutions to global enterprises and public sector organizations — helping them harness AI to drive outcomes at a time of exponential change with speed.

Kickstarter Launches $1 Million Culture Fund to Back Independent Creators Around the World

New initiative will support hundreds of creators across Film, Fashion, Art and Music and bring on strategic partners to expand the fund’s reach and impact

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kickstarter today announced the launch of the Kickstarter Culture Fund, a $1 million fund supporting independent creators working across Art, Fashion, Film and Music. The fund is the first to be financed entirely by Kickstarter and is open to creators around the world.

The Kickstarter Culture Fund is a key expression of the company’s recently launched Power of Belief brand campaign—an effort centered on the idea that belief is what sparks new ideas, and that those ideas come to life when people believe in each other. The Culture Fund puts Kickstarter’s own belief into action: belief in creative independence, belief in the importance of helping more creators bring more ideas into the world, and belief in the power of community to make those ideas possible. Through the fund, Kickstarter will provide direct financial contributions to live campaigns from independent creators using its platform, helping them build momentum during the critical period when they are working to rally support for their ideas.

Creators doing work within the fund’s four core categories can apply for the fund when their Kickstarter campaign is live or when they have a project page in draft.

Creators can learn more about eligibility and apply through the Kickstarter Culture Fund at https://landing.kickstarter.com/culture-fund.

Everette Taylor, Chief Executive Officer at Kickstarter said, “Creators across all industries – especially artists, musicians, filmmakers, and designers – are facing increasing challenges finding the resources and support they need to bring their ideas to life. The Kickstarter Culture Fund is our commitment to addressing that problem because when fewer ideas have the opportunity to break through, culture, the economy, and society all suffer. By putting resources directly behind creators, we’re helping more ambitious ideas find the support they need to become reality. This is just the beginning.”

Courtney Brown Warren, Kickstarter’s Chief Marketing Officer, added, “The Kickstarter Culture Fund is a meaningful expansion of the ways we have historically supported creators on their journey. This time, we’re reaching into our own pockets to provide additional resources to creators at a critical moment when it feels harder than ever to bring a creative idea to life. We believe every creator deserves the opportunity to share their ideas with the world, and the Culture Fund gives us another way to help make that possible.”

Kickstarter will expand the impact of the Culture Fund through partnerships with organizations that share its commitment to supporting independent creators. Through these partnerships, organizations will contribute dedicated funding to the Culture Fund, helping to reach more creators, creative disciplines, and communities around the world.

The first partner under the Culture Fund umbrella is Creative Scotland, the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across all parts of Scotland. Creative Scotland will be expanding its 2023 Kickstarter fund to provide renewed support for Scotland-based creators. The Creative Scotland Forward Fund will contribute £67,500 directly to eligible Kickstarter campaigns across film, comics, music, radio and podcasts, games, publishing, and design.

To be eligible, creators must be based in Scotland and have a live Kickstarter campaign in one of the fund’s eligible categories. Projects must demonstrate a clear connection to Scotland, with primary creative activity and beneficiaries based in the country. Find more details about the Creative Scotland fund here.

Additional partners will launch dedicated funding initiatives under the Kickstarter Culture Fund umbrella in the coming months.
