Collaboration strengthens governance and cyber resilience as autonomous AI
becomes increasingly embedded in physical and operational environments

SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Certis Group, Singapore’s leading provider of integrated security and operations solutions, and Ensign InfoSecurity, Asia Pacific’s largest pure-play cybersecurity services provider, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Milipol TechX (MTX) 2026, a regional platform for security and technology innovation, to strengthen cybersecurity, safety and governance in robotic systems powered by artificial intelligence.

The partnership addresses a growing challenge as AI systems evolve from assisting humans to acting autonomously. Beyond conventional cybersecurity threats which typically result in data breaches or system outages, vulnerabilities in AI robotic systems carry an additional category of risk: manipulated sensor inputs, loss of supervisory control, or autonomous systems executing unintended physical actions with real-world consequences.

This collaboration comes as Singapore increases the deployment of autonomous systems to aid in security, logistics and transport operations, highlighting the urgent need to translate governance principles into practical, operational safeguards, particularly in real-world environments where there is little room for error.

Under the MOU, both organisations will work together to strengthen cybersecurity, safety and ethical governance in AI-driven robotics. Certis will lead the development and implementation of safety and ethics fail-safes, as well as Human-in-the-Loop interfaces within the AI robotic platform. In parallel, Ensign will oversee the development of cybersecurity requirements governing the platform’s communication interfaces, as well as the AI’s core reasoning and decision-making processes, including the design of cybersecurity controls, standards and frameworks.

Together, the partnership will embed guardrails across the full system lifecycle, from design and development to testing, deployment and eventual decommissioning, while advancing cybersecurity capabilities, cross-domain knowledge-sharing, and practical frameworks to support the secure and responsible use of autonomous systems.

“As Certis accelerates the development and deployment of our robotics and AI across our operations, we are cognisant that the power of these technologies is only as strong as the security that protects them,” Mr Alex Ooi, Chief Information Security Officer of Certis, said.

“In this new era of industrialised AI, cybersecurity is no longer a peripheral function, but a critical enabler of our future. For Certis, securing our autonomous systems means more than just protecting data; it means ensuring the operational integrity and safety of the physical environments we are trusted to guard. By embedding rigorous cyber-resilience into every tech, robot and algorithm we deploy, we are building a future where innovation and absolute trust coexist seamlessly in this partnership,’ Mr Ooi added.

Key areas of focus in the MOU include

Developing ethical, safety-first approaches for AI-driven robotics, supported by shared standards across data handling, model training and real-world operationsEmbedding security and risk management by design across the system lifecycle, including threat identification, risk assessment and safeguards against unauthorised access and tamperingImplementing human-centric safety protocols and robust human-in-the-loop controls to ensure effective oversight and interventionStrengthening cyber-physical resilience through testing and operations, including adversarial testing of AI-driven robotic behaviours, continuous monitoring and specialised capabilities such as threat analysis, incident response and penetration testing

A joint Safety and Security Review Board will be established to oversee implementation and ensure alignment with evolving safety and ethical expectations.

“The rise of AI is raising the stakes for enterprise security. It goes beyond protecting systems to ensuring that autonomous decisions remain bounded, explainable and secure,” said Paul Tan, Executive Vice President of Government and Singapore Enterprises, Ensign InfoSecurity. “Having operationalised AI in security environments, we see firsthand how quickly autonomy can scale. The challenge is ensuring that control, governance and resilience scale with it, especially when these systems affect real-world operations and outcomes. This collaboration focuses on embedding cybersecurity into the way these systems are designed and deployed from the outset.”

The MOU signals a shift in how organisations deploying autonomous systems must think about risk, not as an IT concern to be managed downstream, but as a foundational design requirement woven into every layer of the system.

September 4, 2026

By

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that, as of September 3, 2026, it held approximately $36 million in cash and restricted cash and approximately 215 Bitcoin.

As of September 3, 2026, the Company’s combined cash, restricted cash and Bitcoin holdings totaled approximately $53 million, based on a Bitcoin price of approximately $81,500, representing nearly 200% of the Company’s equity market capitalization as of that date.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated, “Hyperscale Data currently holds approximately $36 million in cash and restricted cash and approximately 215 Bitcoin, with an estimated market value of approximately $18 million. Together, these assets total approximately $53 million, equal to nearly twice the Company’s recent equity market capitalization.

“We sold a portion of our Bitcoin and deployed the proceeds to support the continued buildout of our Michigan AI data center as we prepare to perform under our master services agreement (the ‘MSA’) with a California-based neocloud provider. The MSA provides for the deployment of 20 megawatts, has an initial term of 10 years and includes two five-year extension options that may be exercised by the customer. If the customer exercises both extension options, the MSA is expected to generate in excess of $1.2 billion in revenue over the maximum 20-year term.

“This was a deliberate capital-allocation decision. We believe investing in the infrastructure necessary to perform under the MSA has the potential to create substantially greater long-term value for the Company and our stockholders. Even after deploying capital toward the Michigan facility, the value of our cash, restricted cash and remaining Bitcoin substantially exceeds our recent equity market capitalization. Although this comparison does not reflect our liabilities or the restrictions applicable to certain cash balances, we believe it provides meaningful context regarding the Company’s current market valuation and underlying assets. In my view, the market is not presently reflecting the underlying value of the Company.”

The Company notes that the market value of Bitcoin and the market capitalization of Hyperscale Data fluctuate continuously. Restricted cash is subject to applicable restrictions on its use. The comparison in this release is intended to highlight the relationship between these specific assets and the Company’s recent equity market capitalization and should not be interpreted as a calculation of net cash, enterprise value, liquidation value or amounts available for distribution to stockholders.

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data’s public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

The latest WINBOT combines upgraded edge-to-edge scrubbing, cordless cleaning, intelligent navigation and comprehensive safety for a more effortless way to keep windows clean

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ECOVACS Robotics today launched the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI robotic window cleaner and WINBOT W2S PRO, the latest additions to the WINBOT family, following their global debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Showcasing ECOVACS’ latest advancements in robotic window cleaning, the new WINBOT models bring the company’s “Created for Ease” philosophy to a new generation of smarter, more effortless window cleaning. The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI combines precise edge-to-edge scrubbing, cordless cleaning, intelligent navigation and comprehensive safety features to transform a once-tiring chore into a more hands-free, worry-free experience.

Window cleaning can be a time-consuming and potentially hazardous household task, particularly for large, hard-to-reach and exterior windows. The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is designed to take the work out of the chore, delivering powerful cleaning across glass surfaces while helping users clean more windows with fewer interruptions.

Precision at Every Corner, High Performance from Edge to Edge

The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI features upgraded TruEdge 2.0 Technology, combining precise frame sensing with an optimized four-corner scrubbing system for more complete edge-to-edge cleaning coverage. Four active corner scrubbers use high-density felt bristles to target dirt along window borders and corners, while continuous frame detection helps the WINBOT maintain stable contact with window frames and edges. Together, the four-way scrubbing system delivers up to a 46% increase in cleaning efficiency compared with the previous generation, covering up to 1 square meter in 90 seconds.

The WINBOT can dynamically adjust its path and brush position as it encounters different window structures, helping minimize jamming and maintain consistent cleaning coverage without manual intervention. For tougher outdoor dirt such as rain stains, dust accumulation and bird droppings, its pressurized dual-side spray technology uses three precision spray nozzles on each side. The upgraded triple-nozzle design expands spray coverage to 90%, helping reduce dead spots while creating a fine, wind-resistant water film that loosens dirt before wiping. Combined with an ultra-fine microfiber wiping pad, the system helps lift away dust, pollen, water spots, fingerprints, smudges and pet marks for a streak-free finish.

For larger cleaning jobs, its 4.1 fl oz water reservoir provides up to 807 sq. ft. of coverage per fill, allowing users to clean more windows without repeatedly stopping to refill.

Multi-Purpose OMNI Station Redefines Convenience

The OMNI Station combines control, charging, power and storage in one portable base, making the WINBOT easy to set up, operate and transport. Its integrated 5200mAh battery provides up to 110 minutes of cordless cleaning, allowing users to clean in locations where power outlets may be difficult to access, such as balconies and bathrooms. The station can also connect directly to AC power for longer cleaning sessions.

A high-strength 2-in-1 compound cable combines power delivery and safety tethering in a single line and automatically retracts into the OMNI Station after cleaning, helping keep the setup organized and tangle-free. When the job is done, the WINBOT and its accessories can be stored inside the OMNI Station, while its soft rubber handle makes the station easy to carry.

Intelligently Adapts to Every Scenario

Powered by WIN-SLAM 4.0 Technology, the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI can adapt its path planning across a wide range of window layouts, including expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, frameless partitions and vanity mirrors. Its multi-sensor detection system continuously monitors window frames and obstacles, allowing the WINBOT to calculate a bypass strategy when it encounters obstacles such as window handles or locks and continue cleaning.

Through the ECOVACS mobile app, voice control or shortcut buttons on the OMNI Station, users can choose from eight cleaning modes to suit different cleaning needs and scenarios. At just 66dB, the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is the quietest model in the WINBOT family to date. Its four-layer noise reduction system combines Dual-Wing Air Ducts, vibration control, acoustic padding and sound insulation to help deliver quieter operation.

Designed for Safety and Peace of Mind

The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI features a 12-tier protection system combining hardware and software safeguards for a secure and reliable cleaning experience. Key protections include 10,000Pa suction power, automatic air pressure compensation, a floating wiping pad plate, anti-drop protection and power-off protection. The automatic air pressure compensation system detects air leaks in as little as 0.007 seconds and compensates to help maintain consistent suction.

If power is interrupted or the battery level becomes low, power-off protection keeps the WINBOT attached to the window for more than 30 minutes, providing additional time for users to respond.

For additional peace of mind, users can also enjoy insurance protection in the unlikely event of damage caused by a loss of suction.

Pricing and Availability

The ECOVACS WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is now available at a limited-time launch price of $499.99, a $100 discount off its $599.99 MSRP, through September 14, 2026. The WINBOT W2S PRO is available at a limited-time launch price of $339.99, a $60 discount off its $399.99 MSRP, through September 7, 2026. Both are available through the official ECOVACS store on Amazon.
