We are incredibly excited to roll this platform out to our audiences.”

The partnership bridges CTL’s hardware and EdTech lifecycle services with Rocket’s highly specialized K-12 asset management software. By leveraging CTL’s industry footprint, the software will scale to support thousands of tech directors navigating modern learning support and device longevity.

“We are thrilled to partner with CTL, a premier device manufacturer with a significant focus on K-12 education,” said Zach Marvel, President of K-12 Tech, architects of Rocket. “CTL intimately understands the operational pain points that school IT leaders face every single day. By offering Rocket and making it accessible to the entire education ecosystem, CTL is proving their deep commitment to school success. Together, we are taking the friction out of EdTech management so K-12 IT can focus on what matters most—empowering the students.”

By integrating Rocket into its core offerings, CTL introduces a complete, end-to-end IT lifecycle package tailored to the education sector. School districts can rely on CTL as a single, trusted partner to purchase EdTech devices, execute technology lifecycle services, and deploy the software to manage it all.

“With the addition of Rocket, we are changing the paradigm of how school districts source and manage their technology,” said Dan Rodgers, CEO of CTL. “CTL now delivers the ultimate one-vendor advantage by packaging our industry-leading devices, our certified lifecycle and sustainability services, and now the critical software needed to manage it all. By offering this platform for free to the EdTech market, we are ensuring every district has the tools to maximize their hardware investment and keep learning uninterrupted.”

Moonlock by MacPaw Wins Red Dot Award 2026

Published

Moonlock earns recognition in the Interface & User Experience Design category, proving that thoughtful design belongs in cybersecurity as much as anywhere else.

BOSTON, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MacPaw is proud to announce that Moonlock, its antivirus and protection app for Mac users, has been named a winner of the 2026 Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design, recognized in the Interface & User Experience Design category. The award is an international mark of design excellence, judged on the strength of an idea, its execution, and its real-world impact.

Since launching in October 2025, Moonlock has taken a different approach to cybersecurity, reflected in every detail of the app. Its intuitive interface, plain-spoken copy, and hand-drawn illustrations replace the cold, technical tone common to security software. The result is a security app making protection feel easy and stress-free for everyone, expert or not.

Clear, human, beautiful products are a core MacPaw value, and the company pays attention to every detail, from aesthetics to user experience. Moonlock is no exception: it was built to make cybersecurity accessible to everyone, whatever their background — and design is central to that mission.

“Cybersecurity has a reputation for being intimidating — all alerts and jargon, with the sense that you need to be an expert just to stay safe. We built Moonlock to change that,” said Oleg Stukalenko, Head of Product Management at Moonlock by MacPaw. “From the start, we wanted it to feel human and welcoming, so that online protection becomes a natural part of everyday life rather than something people worry about. We think of design as everything someone actually experiences with us, not just the screen in front of them. Having the Red Dot jury recognize that work means a lot to the whole team.”

The Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design celebrates the craft behind how a product looks, feels, and speaks to the people who use it. Held since 1993, the competition is open to established and emerging designers, agencies, and companies across 18 categories. Each year, an international jury of 30 experts from design, science, media, and consultancy evaluates the entries, bringing a wide range of professional and cultural perspectives to every decision.

With this win, Moonlock continues MacPaw’s legacy of design excellence. It is the company’s fourth Red Dot Award: in 2017, Gemini 2 became the first macOS application to win the honor, followed by CleanMyMac in 2021 and CleanMy®Phone in 2024.

About Moonlock

Moonlock is a part of the MacPaw ecosystem that offers simple, approachable, and stress-free Mac protection and antivirus capabilities.

DBGallery Delivers “AI Knowledge Layer for Visual Assets,” Bringing Automated Enterprise DAM to Organizations of All Sizes

Published

Automated AI metadata converts photos and videos into structured organizational knowledge, transforming digital chaos into a strategic advantage without the manual effort.

TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DBGallery today announced the expansion of its visual intelligence capabilities, formally positioning its platform as an AI Knowledge Layer for Visual Assets for organizations and teams of all sizes. By replacing manual keywording with automated AI metadata analysis, DBGallery converts raw photos, graphics, and video into rich, structured organizational knowledge the moment they are uploaded.

For years, visual assets lost value because nobody had the bandwidth to tag them. With an automated metadata layer, that changes completely. Visual media becomes instantly discoverable, creating compounding, multi-year value, and puts DAM within reach of more organizations.

Historically, Digital Asset Management (DAM) was reserved for large media organizations with dedicated archiving staff. Resource-constrained teams across tourism boards, municipalities, higher education, non-profits, and marketing teams across numerous industries were locked out by the sheer labor required to manually tag thousands of files—turning vast digital asset libraries into unsearchable “file graveyards.”

DBGallery’s AI Knowledge Layer changes that economic equation by shifting DAM from a labor-intensive requirement into an automated, accessible workflow hub.

“For years, visual assets lost value over time because nobody had the bandwidth to tag them properly,” said Glenn Rogers, Director of Product and Project Management at DBGallery. “When you introduce an automated metadata knowledge layer, that changes completely. Visual media becomes instantly discoverable through structured context, custom prompt targeting, embedded OCR text, and interactive video transcripts. The metadata doesn’t just solve today’s search, it creates compounding, multi-year value for the entire organization, and brings DAM within reach to more organizations.”

Key Capabilities of the DBGallery AI Knowledge Layer include:

Automated Auto-Enrichment: Extracts OCR text from images and PDFs, identifies objects and faces, and summarizes photo and video content upon upload or subsequent batch analysis.Custom AI Description Prompts: Admins and users can tailor global or image-specific prompts to extract structured domain data—ranging from architectural style identification and brand compliance to social media captions and emotional tone analysis—and can be outputted as HTML or JSON for direct ingestion into websites or ERP systems.Interactive Video Transcription & Timelines: Generates time-stamped, sentence-by-sentence spoken transcripts aligned with video playback, allowing teams to click any transcript line to jump instantly to that exact moment in the video.Non-Spoken Scene Analysis: Automatically inserts AI visual scene descriptions into pauses in speech or non-verbal video clips, ensuring complete visual context alongside spoken transcripts.

This AI framework is integrated directly into DBGallery’s production-proven platform, capable of scaling to millions of assets and thousands of users. Designed specifically for multi-user team collaboration, the platform combines Single Sign-On (SSO) and granular action-level permissions with full audit trails, custom metadata fields, usage analytics, and cloud or on-premises deployment options.

By combining cutting-edge AI automation with a secure, highly scalable foundation, DBGallery allows organizations of any size to deploy enterprise-grade digital asset management without adding administrative headcount or compromising on data governance.
