New RUM and Synthetics capabilities unify infrastructure, application and user experience insights, catching problems before a user does

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced its intent to acquire Embrace, a leading provider of user-focused observability, to add high-fidelity Real User Monitoring (RUM) capabilities to the Palo Alto Networks Observability platform. Palo Alto Networks is also introducing Synthetics, a new capability built with its world-class Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) team, for proactively validating application performance from anywhere. These new capabilities will extend Palo Alto Networks Observability to Digital Experience Monitoring. Customers will gain a complete, unified view, from end-user interactions and proactive app validation to backend software and infrastructure, all on the industry’s leading, innovative, cost-effective platform.

Modern applications are increasingly complex and autonomous, and organizations need full performance visibility to ensure reliability. Legacy tools are fragmented, cost-prohibitive, and frequently miss when a user’s experience is broken. Embrace’s proven RUM capabilities are built for modern environments, allowing customers to deliver applications that scale at the pace of AI. Synthetics will leverage Palo Alto Networks’ globally distributed infrastructure to proactively validate application availability and performance from strategic locations across the globe. With these new capabilities, organizations will be able to:

Eliminate blindspots: Monitor user experiences and infrastructure health through a single interface to help ensure user-facing applications and workflows are seamlessly executing without introducing hidden digital issues.
 Prevent revenue impacting downtime: Combine Embrace’s advanced monitoring with Palo Alto Networks’ deep data analytics, to quickly pinpoint and resolve complex performance issues, protecting revenue and brand reputation.
 Catch problems before any user does: Palo Alto Networks’ Observability platform and ADEM deliver a complete view of digital experience by catching issues before they impact both customers and employees.

Following the acquisition of Chronosphere in January 2026, Palo Alto Networks continues to drive innovation across its Observability platform, surpassing $300M ARR in Q3 FY26. The company also earned recognition from Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, where it was named a leader for the third consecutive year, earning the top ranking for Observability Cost Control in the 2026 Gartner® Critical Capabilities™ report.

Lee Klarich, Chief Product & Technology Officer of Palo Alto Networks 
“To truly understand how their applications are performing, organizations need to see the whole picture – from the moment a user taps or clicks to what exactly happens on the backend. By combining Palo Alto Networks’ leading Observability platform with Embrace’s innovative Real User Monitoring and the organically developed Synthetic Monitoring capabilities, we’ll deliver exactly that. And we’re taking it a step further – by linking these capabilities with Cortex AgentiX, organizations will be able to both see and automatically fix issues across their ecosystem. This is what true platformization looks like in practice.”

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in Palo Alto Networks first quarter of fiscal 2027.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dover Fueling Solutions (“DFS”), a part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, today announced the launch of ProGauge MagLink Anywhere™, a new automatic tank gauge (ATG) mobile app designed to give fuel retailers reliable, real-time access to critical tank and console data.

As fuel retailers look to improve inventory control and make faster decisions across sites, access to accurate tank data is becoming increasingly important. Available globally, MagLink Anywhere provides retailers a clearer view of their fuel retail business, while strengthening the connectivity between various site ecosystems. The app works seamlessly with existing ProGauge® consoles, including the ProGauge MagLink LX 4® console, ProGauge MagLink LX Plus® console, and ProGauge MagLink LX Ultimate® console.

By bringing fuel station and underground tank data into a single mobile view, MagLink Anywhere gives retailers quick access to the information they need to monitor inventory, review site activity, and respond to issues requiring attention as they occur.

“Fuel retailers generate vast amounts of operational data every day but turning that information into actionable insights has long been a challenge,” said Nuno Almeida, DFS Product Management Director. “With MagLink Anywhere, we’re putting powerful intelligence directly into the hands of operators, enabling them to monitor inventory, identify issues sooner, and make smarter decisions from anywhere, at any time, and through an easy-to-use platform.”

MagLink Anywhere allows the end user to pair to their ProGauge console easily and quickly, using a secure architecture that safeguards data transmitted through the app and supports controls intended to limit unauthorized access.

Fergus Heading, DFS ATG Business Development Director, added, “We designed the app to improve time management, enhance visibility into console and tank data, and provide stability within overall business operations. Whether operating a single site or managing a large network of tank gauging equipment, MagLink Anywhere gives fuel retailers a practical way to access the inventory and site information they need in one place.”
