1stProtect and Multiverse Computing Partner to Deliver Secure AI Inference at the Edge — No Cloud Required

Strategic partnership pairs Multiverse’s quantum-inspired model compression with 1stProtect’s real-time runtime enforcement, giving enterprises private, high-performance AI that runs — and stays protected — entirely on-device.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3, 2026 /CNW/ — 1stProtect, the Silicon Valley runtime security company founded by veterans of CrowdStrike, Symantec, and Cisco, today announced a strategic partnership with Multiverse Computing, the global leader in quantum-inspired AI model compression, to deliver a first-of-its-kind integrated solution for secure AI inference at the edge. The collaboration unites Multiverse’s ability to shrink advanced AI models so they run directly on-device with 1stProtect’s real-time enforcement that governs exactly what those models and agents are allowed to do — enabling enterprises to deploy powerful AI without sending a single byte to the cloud.

As organizations race to put generative and agentic AI into production, two constraints have emerged as the biggest barriers to adoption: cost and control. Cloud-based inference is expensive and raises data-sovereignty and latency challenges for regulated industries, while autonomous AI agents introduce a new class of runtime risk that traditional prompt filters and endpoint detection tools were never designed to stop. This partnership is built to address both at once.

Under the partnership, the two companies will develop an integrated solution that extends AI capabilities on-device, with no cloud activity required. Multiverse’s CompactifAI compression technology reduces the size of leading large language models by up to 95% with only 2–3% precision loss, enabling roughly 4x–12x faster processing and 50–80% lower inference costs on hardware ranging from smartphones to industrial edge devices. 1stProtect’s runtime enforcement layer then wraps that on-device inference in continuous, sub-100-millisecond protection — blocking prompt injection, model theft, and unauthorized agent actions the moment they occur, online or fully offline.

The combined offering is purpose-built for the environments where AI has been hardest to deploy safely: air-gapped and operational-technology (OT) systems, defense and critical infrastructure, healthcare, financial services, and any setting where data sovereignty, low latency, or unreliable connectivity make cloud AI impractical.

“This partnership brings a uniquely secure inference solution to the edge for the benefit of our customers. As enterprises move into an era of agentic and AI-driven threats, they need the freedom to run powerful models anywhere — without surrendering control. Together with Multiverse, we’re proving that on-device AI can be both remarkably efficient and rigorously protected. This partnership strengthens our commercial offering and validates the growing demand for runtime protection purpose-built for AI.”

— Kervin Pillay, Chief Executive Officer, 1stProtect

“1stProtect’s cutting-edge technology makes them the optimal partner to integrate with Multiverse’s on-device AI models. Their AI Agent Protection, a verified design together with Multiverse, is best in class. Compressing world-leading models so they fit on-device was the first breakthrough; making sure those agents run securely wherever they are deployed is what turns edge AI into an enterprise reality. This is the first killer application for on-device AI models and this partnership brings ubiquitous cyber security right to the device that matters: the one at your fingertips.”

— Enrique Lizaso Olmos, Chief Executive Officer, Multiverse Computing

Availability

The integrated solution builds on 1stProtect’s AgentProtect, which is generally available today. Prospective customers can request an Agent Exposure Assessment at 1stprotect.ai or contact the sales team directly to learn more about deploying secure, compressed AI at the edge.

The Business of Medicine: Michael J. Napoli, Jr. Launches New Firm to Help Healthcare Professionals Navigate the Legal Side of Modern Medicine

Published

July 4, 2026

In an industry focused on resolving problems after they arise, Michael J. Napoli Jr. believes the best legal outcome is the problem that never occurs. Michael Napoli Law is built on that philosophy.

HUNTINGTON, N.Y., July 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Attorney Michael J. Napoli, Jr., PC has announced the launch of Michael Napoli Law, a healthcare-focused legal practice dedicated to serving physicians, medical practices, nursing facilities, and healthcare organizations operating in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment.

“Healthcare is no longer just about patient care,” says Napoli. “It is also about compliance, contracts, regulatory oversight, operational risk, and the legal decisions that shape and sometimes threaten the modern practice of medicine.”

With twenty years of experience at the intersection of law and medicine, Napoli built his new practice around a simple conviction: the most effective legal counsel helps clients address challenges before they become distractions.

Napoli adds: “Medicine today requires far more than clinical expertise. Healthcare providers are expected to run complex businesses while continuing to deliver exceptional patient care. My goal is to help them navigate the legal side of healthcare so they can focus on what they do best.”

Healthcare providers dedicate their careers to patient care, but practicing medicine today requires far more than medical expertise alone. Michael Napoli Law helps them navigate the legal and business realities that surround the practice of medicine.

Services include medical-legal consulting, healthcare law, PC and PLLC formation, telehealth compliance, physician contract review, second-opinion counsel, practice policies and operational guidance, and select general matters affecting physicians and healthcare organizations of all kinds.

Clients range from individual physicians and private practices to nursing facilities, long-term care organizations, and allied healthcare professionals seeking experienced guidance on the legal and operational realities of modern healthcare.

“Most attorneys understand the law. Few understand medicine. Fewer still understand both,” explains Napoli. “That gap is exactly where this firm lives.”

ABOUT MICHAEL NAPOLI LAW

Michael Napoli Law is a New York-based legal practice serving physicians, medical practices, nursing facilities, long-term care providers, and healthcare organizations with counsel in healthcare law, compliance, medical-legal consulting, practice operations, and related legal matters.
