Palo Alto Networks and SuperCom set dates for their next results: November 18 and November 12, 2026, respectively.

Above Security joined the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program and said its product works alongside Purview, Defender for Endpoint, Entra ID and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Separately, Plume said it worked with Google, Lumen, Japan's National Police Agency and others to disrupt a botnet in more than 1.3 million TV set-top boxes.
