Joint offering combines best-of-breed home network and device security with holistic scam protection; built for Tier-1 CSPs as AI redefines consumer trust

HELSINKI, October 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer cyber security leader F-Secure and CUJO AI, a global leader in cyber security, device, and network intelligence for service providers, have today announced that they are joining forces to provide a joint protection offering to the world’s largest Tier-1 Communications Service Providers (CSPs). Together, they will converge two best-of-breed security layers into a single security experience at home and on the go, combining home network security and device intelligence with the broadest endpoint security offering in the market.  

The consumer scam and fraud pandemic is evolving, with scams crossing network and device boundaries faster than most consumers can track. Artificial intelligence is only accelerating this shift, making scams faster to produce and harder to detect. This marks a trust inflection point: consumers look to their trusted providers as AI erodes their ability to tell what’s real.  

CSPs hold a unique position as trusted providers in their customers’ lives, with F-Secure research finding that 80% of consumers expect their provider to keep them safe. This partnership and converged offering builds on this unique opportunity for CSPs to turn this trust into everyday protection.  

The partnership brings together F-Secure’s endpoint, identity, privacy and scam protection, and embedded security capabilities with CUJO AI’s home network cyber security, and granular device and network intelligence. Together, the companies will help CSPs to protect consumers across the home network and individual devices while creating a seamless security experience at home and on the go.  

As consumers increasingly move between home broadband, mobile networks, applications and connected devices, their security needs extend across multiple environments. Yet protection is often delivered through separate products and experiences. CUJO AI and F-Secure are working together to simplify this landscape, helping CSPs bring complementary cyber security capabilities into a more seamless and cohesive consumer experience. 

“The trust advantage for CSPs in the agentic AI era has never been clearer, and we recognize the importance of equipping the world’s leading providers to succeed in protecting their customers in a holistic way,” said Timo Laaksonen, President and CEO of F-Secure. “We are delighted to be partnering with CUJO AI to help us achieve this; this partnership demonstrates a natural evolution in providing the best-of-breed solution with holistic protection for an evolving threat landscape.” 

“Consumers don’t think about security in silos; they simply expect to be protected wherever they connect,” said Remko Vos, CEO of CUJO AI. “We already enable service providers to protect millions of homes through advanced network-based cyber security, scam protection and device intelligence. By combining these capabilities with F-Secure’s endpoint security and scam protection expertise, we can help service providers close the gap between home network and device protection and create a more seamless security experience for consumers.” 

Built for the world’s most demanding networks 

F-Secure and CUJO AI’s joint offering is designed specifically for the operational scale and complexity of the world’s largest CSPs, offering a number of unique benefits:  

One converged experience: Home network security and endpoint security combine into a single, trusted view of protection at home and on the go.  Easier adoption: Home network security drives endpoint security uptake — whether upselling protection everywhere to customers, or turning paying-but-unprotected customers into fully protected and engaged across every device. More value, more relevant: Network intelligence from home network security turns everyday usage insights into personalized upsell offers promoted by endpoint security, while real-time alerts keep customers informed the moment something needs attention — security that pays for itself and earns trust. 

This partnership signifies an exciting development and opportunity for F-Secure, CUJO AI, and the world’s leading CSPs.

Promptly and ZEISS VisioGen partner to bring human-verified AI patient engagement to ophthalmology practices

A partnership that connects every website inquiry a practice receives, answered with licensed clinical review, to the system that books, follows up, and converts the patient

MIAMI, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Promptly and ZEISS VisioGen partner to bring human-verified AI patient engagement to ophthalmology practices.

“Seamless workflows drive conversion. Integrating Promptly’s Patient Conversion System with ZEISS Visiogen gives practices a unified, end-to-end workflow guiding patients from inquiry to payment without juggling multiple systems.” — Dr. Anish Kapur, CEO, Promptly

A partnership that connects every website inquiry a practice receives, answered with licensed clinical review, to the system that books, follows up, and converts the patient.

Promptly Technology, Inc. (Promptly), which offers the most comprehensive all-in-one Patient Experience Suite including the leading Patient Conversion System for specialty medical practices, and ZEISS VisioGen, a human-verified AI patient communication solution from Carl Zeiss India Bangalore Pvt Ltd, today announced a partnership to give U.S. ophthalmology practices one connected path from a patient’s first website question to a booked, converted patient.

Ophthalmology practices receive candidacy, cost, and recovery questions through their websites at every hour. Answering those questions well, and then converting the inquiry into a scheduled patient, are two different jobs. This partnership brings together a system for each.

What each company brings

ZEISS VisioGen is the first responsible AI solution for patient engagement in ophthalmology. It answers patient questions submitted through a practice’s website, with a ZEISS-trained, licensed optometrist reviewing every reply before the patient sees it. It is built exclusively for ophthalmology, connects with all major practice management and EHR systems, is HIPAA compliant, and is not a medical device. Not another chatbot: a professionally verified patient-engagement service operated for the clinic.

Promptly’s Patient Conversion System captures each inquiry into the practice CRM and books, schedules, follows up, and tracks the patient, running on top of the practice management and EHR systems a clinic already uses. Its role is to convert the inquiry and record the outcome.

What the partnership gives practices

Together, the two systems give a practice one governed path: a patient’s question is answered under licensed clinical review, then handed to the practice with the intent, context, and next step, where it is booked, followed up, and converted. The practice adds no headcount and keeps the systems it already runs.

“A lead is only as valuable as the patient experience that follows, because while marketing drives interest, seamless workflows drive conversion. By integrating Promptly’s Patient Conversion System with ZEISS Visiogen’s lead generation and clinical review, we are giving practices a unified, end-to-end workflow. Together, we are guiding patients from their initial inquiry all the way to final payment, without the burden of managing multiple systems.”

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Promptly.

Availability

ZEISS VisioGen and Promptly are available to U.S. ophthalmology practices. Both companies will be at the American Academy of Ophthalmology 2026 annual meeting in New Orleans, October 10 to 12. ZEISS VisioGen is at booth 3719 and Promptly is at booth 1861.

About Promptly

Promptly is an all-in-one Patient Engagement and Experience Suite designed to supercharge existing practice management systems. By automating tedious administrative tasks, Promptly empowers healthcare staff to focus on what matters most: connecting with patients. Our comprehensive platform consolidates multiple software solutions into a single, unified hub featuring online appointment scheduling, digital intake, real-time insurance verification, automated payments, and multi-channel patient communication.

About ZEISS VisioGen

ZEISS VisioGen is the first responsible AI solution for patient engagement in ophthalmology, a human-verified AI patient communication platform from Carl Zeiss India Bangalore Pvt Ltd. Patient questions submitted through a practice’s website are drafted by AI against the practice’s approved protocols and reviewed by a ZEISS-trained, licensed optometrist before delivery. ZEISS VisioGen connects with all major practice management and EHR systems, is HIPAA compliant, is not a medical device, and is available in the United States.

Live Entertainment Expert Dino Hall Explains Live Event Planning in HelloNation

The Article Outlines How Organizers Can Coordinate Performers, Venues, Production, Logistics, and Audience Needs When Planning a Concert.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should organizers consider when planning a concert? A HelloNation article answers that question, featuring insights from Dino Hall of DSH ENTERTAINMENT, INC.®️in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The article explains that live event planning begins well before performers arrive at a venue. Organizers first need to define the event’s purpose, expected audience, available budget, and desired experience. These early decisions shape artist selection, production needs, scheduling, and other program elements.

According to the article, artist booking requires more than selecting performers who fit the event concept. Organizers should consider audience expectations, venue size, schedules, and technical needs. Contracts should also address performance times, payment terms, travel arrangements, production requirements, and responsibilities for everyone involved.

The HelloNation article notes that venue selection directly affects concert production and audience experience. Capacity should fit expected attendance while leaving appropriate space for staging, equipment, staff, and guests. During planning, also review accessibility, parking, transportation, security, sound restrictions, and venue requirements.

Technical coordination is another important part of live event planning. The article explains that performers may require specific sound systems, lighting, staging, electrical service, dressing rooms, or other equipment. Reviewing these requirements early helps production teams determine whether the venue and vendors can support each performance.

Scheduling brings the separate parts of concert production together. Load-in, sound checks, rehearsals, performances, vendor setup, security briefings, and cleanup all require defined time periods. The article recommends building enough flexibility into the schedule to address delays without disrupting the entire event.

Clear communication also supports effective event logistics. The article describes the importance of assigning responsibilities for artist needs, technical production, venue operations, security, guest services, and schedule changes. Centralized information can help artists, vendors, production teams, and organizers work from the same instructions.

The article also emphasizes audience experience throughout the planning process. Entry procedures, seating, signage, restrooms, food service, accessibility, and crowd movement can shape the guest experience. Careful planning in these areas can help prevent operational problems from distracting from the performances.

For cultural event planning, the article advises organizers to consider traditions, history, and community representation. Artists, speakers, food, activities, and visual elements should reflect the culture with appropriate care. Consultation with knowledgeable community members can help identify concerns before the event reaches the public.

Live Entertainment Expert Dino Hall’s insights also inform the article’s discussion of promotion and contingency planning. Event descriptions should accurately represent performers, cultural elements, schedules, and venue details. Organizers should also prepare procedures for weather problems, artist delays, equipment failures, medical situations, crowd concerns, and transportation disruptions.

The article concludes that successful event logistics depend on coordination across every part of the program. When purpose, programming, concert production, communication, and audience experience align, organizers can create a more cohesive event for performers and guests.
