Palo Alto Networks and Deutsche Telekom Bring AI-Driven Security with Advanced Sovereignty Controls for European Regulated Industries

AMSTERDAM and MUNICH, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) and Deutsche Telekom (XETRA: DTE) today announced Sovereign Cortex with T Security. This solution brings the Palo Alto Networks Cortex® AI-driven SecOps platform to Europe’s most regulated industries, with data sovereignty controls independently governed by Deutsche Telekom.

Today’s AI-driven threat landscape demands immediate, real time effective cybersecurity. Yet many of Europe’s regulated organisations – in healthcare, the public sector, financial services and critical national infrastructure – face a fundamental challenge: adopting cloud-delivered AI security, while meeting Europe’s growing sovereignty requirements. Increasingly codified in GDPR, NIS2 and DORA and equivalent European frameworks, these requirements demand demonstrable controls that go beyond data residency: control over who can access data, how it is encrypted, how provider access is audited, and how it is handled in support operations.

Sovereign Cortex with T Security addresses these requirements and enables Europe’s most regulated organisations to adopt cloud-delivered security without sovereignty compromise. Anchored by Deutsche Telekom, as the independent European trust partner, it delivers the full capabilities of the Cortex platform with purpose-built sovereignty controls for Europe’s regulatory environment.

In addition to the data residency controls we provide customers for all of our cloud services, Sovereign Cortex with T Security provides additional sovereign controls for every layer of the environment. This includes customer and systems (telemetry) data, encryption keys, and independently audited access logs. Furthermore, all support personnel are based exclusively in Europe, and all contractual agreements are governed by European law.

Helmut Reisinger, CEO of EMEA at Palo Alto Networks
“European organisations — from public authorities to critical infrastructure operators — have been clear with us: they need real time AI-driven security and they need verifiable data sovereignty controls, and they should not have to choose between them. This is our direct response to what customers and regulators across Europe have been asking for – a service that honours Europe’s sovereignty, maintains the security effectiveness and modular platformization our customers depend on, and reflects the trust they place in us.”

Thomas Tschersich, CEO Deutsche Telekom Security GmbH and CSO Deutsche Telekom AG
“Our joint offering is currently unique in Europe at this level of quality. We meet the compliance requirements of NIS2, DORA, and KRITIS with respect to data sovereignty — without asking our customers to compromise on the effectiveness of their cyber defence.”

A customer-led approach to sovereignty
This solution reflects direct engagement with regulated organisations and public authorities across Europe — designed around the specific, verifiable controls they require, not a broad interpretation of sovereignty. It is built to evolve as sovereignty regulation across Europe develops.

Sovereign Cortex with T Security will initially be available to organisations in healthcare, financial services, the public sector and critical national infrastructure, with broader availability to follow. The initial release is planned for Q3 2026.

Recognition marks seventh consecutive quarter Achieve has ranked among the nation’s top lenders for customer satisfaction

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Achieve, the fintech for everyday Americans, has been named one of the Top 3 lenders in personal loan customer satisfaction by LendingTree for the third quarter of 2026. This distinction from one of the nation’s largest online personal finance marketplaces underscores Achieve’s commitment to delivering transparent, supportive, and human-centered financial services.

This marks the seventh consecutive LendingTree customer service award that Achieve has earned, following a top-three ranking in the second quarter of 2026. The quarterly ranking is published by LendingTree, based on verified customer reviews and other data evaluating lenders on transparency, ease of the application process and the quality of customer service. Achieve consistently maintains high ratings for providing consumers with a clear path toward improving their financial health.

“For someone consolidating debt, a personal loan is more than a transaction. It’s an opportunity to improve their finances and move forward with greater confidence,” said Achieve President of Lending Kyle Enright. “Our team helps members understand their options and find the solution that fits their goals by pairing competitive fixed rates with personal guidance. Earning this recognition for a seventh consecutive quarter reflects the care our teammates bring to those conversations and the trust our members place in us.”

This initiative, supported by advanced underwriting and enhanced with FICO® Score 10 T data, maintains access to fixed-rate loans for an expanded set of consumers, with an expected improvement in credit performance. These loans are originated by a bank partner via the Achieve Personal Loans platform.

Key highlights of the Achieve Personal Loan experience:

Competitive, fixed rates: APRs now start as low as 6.25% for qualified borrowers, providing a more affordable alternative to high-interest credit card debt.Rapid funding: Qualified members can have funds sent in as little as 24 hours to address immediate financial needs.Flexible terms: Borrowers can choose repayment schedules ranging from 2, 3, 4 and 5 years to align with their specific budget and goals.Transparent pricing: All loans feature fixed monthly payments and a clear payoff date, with no hidden fees or revolving balances.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mediaplanet today announces the launch of its Men’s Mental Health campaign, publishing within USA TODAY and through the Future of Personal Health digital content hub. The national campaign brings together leading healthcare experts, mental health advocates, organizations, athletes and public figures to encourage more open conversations around men’s mental health and provide accessible, actionable resources for building healthier lives. Featuring Netflix podcaster and internet sensation Jake Shane as the publication’s cover story, the campaign also includes editorial from global influence Howie Mandel, All-Star athlete Kevin Love, Dr. Mark Hyman and author Yung Pueblo, offering personal experiences and expert perspectives on mental health, emotional well-being, resilience and personal growth.

Through personal stories, expert insights and practical resources, the campaign directly challenges the expectation that men should navigate mental health struggles alone while encouraging a more open and supportive approach to overall well-being. “I wish people would take care of their mental health the way we take care of our dental health,” said Howie Mandel. His perspective reflects the campaign’s broader mission to normalize mental health care as an essential part of everyday health and encourage men to prioritize their well-being before they reach a point of crisis.

The campaign was made possible through the participation and support of Vibrant Emotional Health, Financial Therapy Association, NOCD, Spear Center, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, American Association of Kidney Patients, Crisis Text Line, YMCA, One Mind at Work, The Hidden Opponent, Kevin Love Fund, American College of Sports Medicine, Whitman-Walker, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Mark Hyman, Yung Pueblo, Kevin Love, Howie Mandel and Jake Shane.
