Surface Security Launches Data-Sovereign Phishing Defense for the AI Era

Surface Security launches data-sovereign browser defense for the AI era, helping organizations detect new phishing attacks, protect sensitive data with browser-native DLP, and gain visibility into employee AI usage and security risks. Powered by patent pending Surface Vision technology, Surface analyzes code, network, and visual signals while learning each customer’s environment, without forcing a browser replacement or sending sensitive browsing data to a third-party cloud.

AURORA, Colo., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Surface Security announced the launch of its browser-native security platform, built to identify brand new phishing attacks, highly targeted campaigns, AI-generated threats, risky AI usage, and sensitive data exposure where modern work actually happens: the browser.

Surface was built around a simple idea: if you can see what the user sees and understand the environment they work in, you can catch attacks that traditional tools miss. We are bringing that visibility to the browser while keeping customer data in their control.

As attackers move faster and use AI to create more convincing phishing pages, cloned login flows, and targeted social engineering campaigns, security teams are left defending with tools that often lack visibility into the place these attacks actually unfold. Email gateways continue to let malicious links through, phishing now arrives through more than just email, and endpoint tools cannot reliably understand what a user is seeing, clicking, typing, uploading, or submitting inside a web page.

Surface Security was built to close that gap.

The platform deploys as a lightweight browser extension and is powered by Surface Vision, the company’s patent pending technology that analyzes browser activity through code, network, and visual signals. By seeing what the user sees, Surface can detect suspicious login pages, credential harvesting flows, impersonation attempts, and other malicious experiences even when the attack is new, targeted, or built with AI.

Beyond phishing detection, Surface extends browser visibility into data loss prevention, AI usage monitoring, and Shadow AI detection. The platform helps security teams understand when sensitive data may be exposed through browser activity, when employees are using unsanctioned AI tools, and when confidential information could be pasted, uploaded, or submitted into applications outside company control.

Surface also learns an organization’s environment as users browse and authenticate to trusted sites. Over time, this allows the platform to understand what is normal for a company, which applications employees use, how those sites should look and behave, and when something appears suspicious or out of place.

“Attackers are no longer just sending obvious phishing emails. They are building convincing, targeted experiences that trick users in the browser,” said Grant Smith, Founder and CEO of Surface Security. “Surface was built around a simple idea: if you can see what the user sees and understand the environment they work in, you can catch attacks that other tools were never designed to detect. That same visibility also gives security teams a practical way to control browser data loss, monitor AI usage, and uncover Shadow AI.”

Unlike browser security platforms that require organizations to replace their existing browsers, Surface works as an extension. This makes it easier for companies to add advanced enterprise browser security without forcing a disruptive rip and replace rollout across the workforce.

Surface is also designed around data sovereignty. The platform can be deployed on premises or in the customer’s own cloud environment, ensuring sensitive browsing telemetry, authentication context, AI usage data, and user activity remain under the organization’s control.

“With Surface, we are giving defenders visibility at the point of attack and the point of data movement,” Smith said. “The browser is where modern phishing succeeds, where employees interact with AI, and where sensitive data can leave the business. Security teams need technology that understands the full context of what users are seeing, loading, typing, uploading, and trusting.”

Surface Security is now available for enterprise pilots and customer deployments.

The Knoxville area is emerging as a leader in advanced energy, high-performance computing, and research commercialization due to a rare combination of assets that distinguish this region from other metropolitan areas.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Knoxville Technology Council (KTech) has released its inaugural Technology State of the Union Report, an assessment of the Knoxville region’s technology economy and the forces shaping its future growth.

“Knoxville is uniquely positioned at the AI-energy convergence. We must work together to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, ensuring that we build the workforce and infrastructure that accelerates innovation and secures a successful future for our community.”

The report evaluates Knoxville’s tech ecosystem across three major areas: workforce and talent, technology investment, and entrepreneurial growth. It highlights a rare combination of assets that distinguish Knoxville from other metropolitan areas:

Culture of Innovation — World-class research institutions and a flagship research university that generate breakthroughs in emerging technologies and attract top talentEnergy Infrastructure — Home to one of the nation’s largest public power providers, clean energy innovation, and a growing advanced nuclear energy sectorEntrepreneurial Spirit — An energetic startup community with an established network of supporting organizationsQuality of Life — A lower cost of living, strong job market, family-friendly amenities, and abundant outdoor and cultural activities

Together, these advantages are fueling Knoxville’s economic growth, particularly in advanced energy, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing.

KTech Board Member, Travis Howerton, who led the initiative to release the report, said that East Tennessee has “all the raw ingredients we need to create a booming tech economy in the coming decades. At KTech, we want to be part of empowering our tech leaders to make Knoxville a premier tech hub in the U.S.”

The report draws from a survey of regional technology leaders along with economic data and research from leading organizations, including the East Tennessee Economic Council, Knoxville Chamber, Tennessee Valley Authority, Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council, University of Tennessee, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

While it highlights where the region is gaining momentum, the report also identifies workforce readiness as the region’s primary constraint on growth. Other recommendations include expanding hands-on workforce development opportunities, strengthening research-to-commercialization pathways, improving broadband and digital infrastructure, and increasing access to growth-stage capital for startups.

“Knoxville is uniquely positioned at the AI-energy convergence. We must work together to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, ensuring that we build the workforce and infrastructure that accelerates innovation and secures a successful future for our community,” said KTech President, Matt Kittrell.

RHODE ISLAND LAWMAKERS PASS TEAMSTERS-SUPPORTED WAREHOUSE WORKER PROTECTION ACT

Governor Dan McKee’s Signature Expected Imminently

PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teamsters are celebrating the passage of S2504A/H7364A, the Rhode Island Warehouse Worker Protection Act, out of the General Assembly. The legislation will prevent companies like Amazon from abusing their workforce by regulating the use and disclosure of warehouse quotas.

“Amazon and other bad actors who make up the worst employers in our state have been wreaking havoc on workers’ livelihoods and physical well-being for far too long, but we’re putting a stop to in Rhode Island,” said Matt Taibi, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 251 in East Providence.

Gov. McKee has already said he will sign the bill into law. Rhode Island will become the seventh state to enact the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, following California, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Washington, and most recently Connecticut.

“Far too many people who work in warehousing go to work every day and put themselves in harm’s way because of strain or exhaustion, and even then, are told they’re still not abiding by an unknown production standard,” Taibi said. “By working with our allies in the legislature, particularly Rep. Evan Shanley and Senate Majority Leader Frank Ciccone, we’ve leveled the playing field by increasing something that isn’t measured enough: corporate accountability.”

The warehouse bill is the latest legislative success for Rhode Island Teamsters — last session, the union successfully got laws passed to enhance school bus safety and prevent mandatory attendance at anti-union propaganda meetings.

Teamsters Local 251 represents over 6,200 workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. For more information, go to teamsters251.org.
