About NetRise
Based in Austin, Texas, NetRise protects organizations from cybersecurity risk with a revolutionary approach to software supply chain security. By analyzing compiled code rather than source code, its category-redefining platform creates a software asset inventory that identifies risk within the software actually installed on the systems critical to enterprise infrastructure. With NetRise, software producers and device manufacturers alike build a more accurate view of the software composition of their products. Likewise, cybersecurity professionals within the enterprise and federal government can quickly identify vulnerabilities and other software supply chain risks in the assets that run their organization. NetRise provides both groups with the means to respond quickly to threats identified by the NetRise platform. When unforeseen software vulnerabilities are exploited by bad actors, NetRise enables rapid identification, prioritization, mitigation, and policy updates, reducing material risk to the business.

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
