Recognized Security Experts to Provide Guidance on Tackling Threats Across Critical Infrastructure and Global Governments

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Corelight, the fastest growing provider of network detection and response (NDR) solutions, today welcomes former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce and former NATO cybersecurity chief Ian West as new advisors to the company. Corelight advisors share deep domain expertise and provide valuable perspectives into trends and opportunities to help further the company’s strategic execution.

“You have to know your network because your adversary absolutely will,” said Rob Joyce

“Rob and Ian have unique insights into the threat landscape and challenges both in the US and Europe and will provide valuable insight to Corelight’s strategy as we continue to serve global governments and critical infrastructure providers,” said Corelight CEO Brian Dye. “In his role running the SOC for NATO, Ian has a great view into nation-state adversaries, attack trends, and compliance regulations across Europe. Rob’s work with the NSA has given him a wonderful understanding of the cat and mouse game that attackers play and what defenders can do to stay one step ahead.”

Rob Joyce retired from the NSA in March 2024 after 34 years of distinguished service. During his tenure, he held several key roles, including Chief of Tailored Access Operations (TAO), the senior NSA representative in the UK at the US Embassy, and head of the NSA’s Cybersecurity Directorate, a position he held from 2021 until his retirement. Joyce also served as the Cybersecurity Coordinator and Acting Homeland Security Advisor at the White House, positions of significant influence on U.S. cybersecurity policy.

Following his retirement, Joyce founded Joyce Cyber LLC, where he now provides cybersecurity consulting and advisory services. He contributes to the cybersecurity community, serving on various boards, and advising companies. He continues to give back to the community in volunteer roles including the Cyber Safety Review Board, Aspen Digital’s Cybersecurity Group, and Cipher Brief’s Cyber Initiatives Group.

“I have consistently said that if you really want to protect your network, you have to know your network because your adversary absolutely will. I’m impressed at how effectively Corelight helps customers truly know their networks,” said Joyce. “I’m excited to apply my experience in helping them achieve their mission of tackling advanced cyber threats and safeguarding critical infrastructure.”

Until his retirement in January 2024, West was the chief of the NATO Cyber Security Centre within the NATO Communications and Information Agency – the primary provider of ICT and Cyber Security solutions and services for the Alliance. Prior to that, from 2004 until 2012, he was the founding director of the NATO Computer Incident Response Capability (NCIRC) Technical Centre. From the initial declaration of the NCIRC’s operational status in 2004, he led the development of operational cyber defense within the Alliance, helping to transform the NATO Nations’ strategic vision for improved cyber defense into an effective capability.

West’s appointments with the NCI Agency follow roughly 30 years’ experience in the military security arena. He was formerly a law enforcement and security officer in the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom and later responsible for INFOSEC policy, inspections, and security accreditation for NATO’s Allied Command Operations.

West now acts as a senior mentor and advisor, is a board and committee member to several institutions, as well as supporting the broader cyber community in a pro bono capacity.

“Today, an individual equipped with just a laptop can bring about greater destruction than a conventional weapon. Corelight has done a great job arming defenders with the ground truth data and extensive visibility they need to see what is happening across the network,” said West. “They are absolutely focused on solving the challenges that every CISO faces: defending their critical networks from the ever-evolving threat vectors and more determined threat actors.” 

Joyce and West join existing Corelight advisors, former European Commission executive Freddy Dezeure and Qdrant chief revenue officer Denis Murphy.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
