The universal wireless power and data platform combines innovative technology, validated engineering tools, and rapid integration services to help implantable device companies reduce development risk and accelerate commercialization.

BURLINGTON, Vt., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Resonant Link Medical, an innovative medical technology company redefining wireless power and data transfer for implantable devices, today announced the launch of Vivigo™ 2.0, its next-generation wireless power platform for implantable medical devices. Built on Resonant Link Medical’s proven Aurion WPT™ technology, Vivigo™ gives device developers a ready-to-integrate platform for wireless power that reduces risk, accelerates development, and helps bring life-changing technologies to market faster. The platform delivers ultra-fast wireless energy transfer over an extended range, enabling a new generation of implantable technologies that are smaller, smarter, and longer lasting. It supports both rechargeable implants, with charging in as little as 20 minutes, and battery-free devices requiring uninterrupted wireless power.

For decades, most implantable medical devices were intentionally designed around the limitations of non-rechargeable batteries because developing safe, reliable, and patient-friendly wireless power systems was too complex, too risky, and too difficult to integrate. Today, implantable devices are evolving beyond simple therapy delivery to incorporate continuous sensing, high-speed data transfer, artificial intelligence, and closed-loop algorithms. Together, these capabilities require substantially more power than previous generations of implantable devices, making advanced wireless power an essential enabling technology. Vivigo™ changes the equation by providing a wireless power platform that reduces development risk and gives innovators the confidence to build the next generation of smaller, smarter, longer-lasting implantable medical devices.

“Implantable devices are becoming dramatically more intelligent, but they can’t become more intelligent without fundamentally rethinking how they’re powered,” said Omari Bouknight, CEO of Resonant Link Medical. “Vivigo™ gives innovators an advanced wireless power platform that enables smaller, smarter implantable devices designed for MRI compatibility while reducing development risk and accelerating the path to commercialization. Medical device companies shouldn’t have to become wireless power experts to bring breakthrough therapies to patients. With Vivigo™, they can build on our platform and focus their time, energy, and innovation where it matters most: creating the next generation of intelligent implantable medicine.”

Security Effectiveness Ranges from 0% to 99.95%

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CyberRatings.org (CyberRatings), the non-profit organization dedicated to providing confidence in cybersecurity products and services through independent testing, today announced the results of its latest Cloud Network Firewall (CNFW) evaluation. Tests were conducted by NSS Labs and are now available at no cost on the CyberRatings.org website.

Of the nine products tested, only four earned a Recommended rating and native cloud firewalls were far less consistent than dedicated third-party offerings. Each of the Recommended products achieved 99.7% or higher in Security Effectiveness:

Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation FirewallHPE Juniper Networking vSRX Next Generation FirewallPalo Alto Networks VM-Series Next-Generation FirewallVersa Networks Next Generation Firewall

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security Next-Gen Firewall earned a Neutral rating despite the highest Security Effectiveness at 99.95% due to its above-average price per Mbps.

AWS Network Firewall and Microsoft Azure Firewall both received 0% for Security Effectiveness, resulting in their Caution ratings. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) NGFW Enterprise at 77.45% Security Effectiveness and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual at 66.10% Security Effectiveness also placed them in Caution.

Products from cloud service providers and third-party security vendors (the latter deployed on Amazon Web Services) were evaluated under identical conditions using the NSS Labs Cloud Network Firewall Test Methodology v4.1, with real-world exploits, evasion techniques, malware, false-positive samples, and sustained enterprise traffic loads.

Evasions were tested with 5,004 attacks spanning 43 techniques across OSI Layers 3, 4, and 7. Attackers use evasions to disguise malicious traffic and bypass inspection; one successful evasion can enable an entire class of exploits or malware, so strong evasion handling is essential.

“With attackers routinely using evasion techniques to slip past inspection, the products that earned a Recommended rating this year proved they can hold up under real conditions,” said Vikram Phatak, CEO of CyberRatings.org. “Buyers should weigh evasion resistance and TLS inspection as heavily as raw block rates.”

Recommendations for Buyers

Test regularly. Agile development and CI/CD pipelines let vendors ship improvements quickly, but rapid change can also introduce regressions that quietly erode protection.Treat native cloud firewalls as a baseline, not a finish line. Validate exploit blocking, malware blocking, and evasion resistance against organizational requirements before relying on a native offering as a primary control.Require TLS inspection and weigh evasion resistance heavily. A firewall that cannot inspect encrypted traffic leaves a substantial blind spot, and a single successful evasion can enable an entire class of attacks.Re-evaluate firewall requirements for AI and agentic workloads. Local AI models and agentic workflows will consume more network resources and drive larger, more complex policies, including east-west agent-to-agent traffic.Hold vendors accountable and demand transparency. No product is perfect; what matters is how a vendor responds when a gap is found. A lack of transparency should be treated as a red flag.

NSS Labs is the Official Testing Partner of CyberRatings, generating the test results and reports for CyberRatings publications. NSS Labs proprietary technologies and Keysight’s CyPerf tool were used to test the security, performance, TLS functionality, and stability of Cloud Network Firewalls.

The Cloud Network Firewall Test Reports, Comparative Report and Security Map are available at CyberRatings.org.
