DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Advenica, a cybersecurity solutions provider, has been recognized as an ‘Emerging Leader’ in the Secure File Transfer (SFT) market by MarketsandMarkets’ 360Quadrants platform. Advenica has established a strong presence in secure file transfer and controlled data exchange environments through its Secure File Import portfolio.

The rising need to securely exchange files across segmented networks is accelerating the adoption of secure file transfer solutions. Increasing cybersecurity risks, the need to transfer information between networks with different security classifications, and growing requirements to protect sensitive and critical environments are driving organizations to implement controlled file transfer mechanisms. Advanced capabilities such as hardware-enforced unidirectional data flows, physical network separation, malware scanning, and secure file import are further strengthening the demand for high-assurance file transfer solutions and creating growth opportunities for providers like Advenica.

Within the secure file transfer domain, Advenica offers solutions including File Security Screener, SecuriRAM, File Scanner Kiosk, and Data Diode Services. Among these, File Security Screener is emerging as a key solution for secure data transfer and file import in sensitive environments, combining Advenica’s data diode technology with advanced malware scanning to enable the secure movement of files between segregated networks while preserving integrity, confidentiality, and network separation.

Advenica’s growing traction in high-security file transfer demonstrates the increasing importance of secure information exchange within sensitive and critical environments. Advenica’ File Security Screener has witnessed growing adoption among defense and government organizations. In November 2024, Advenica secured a 2 MSEK order (USD 0.18 Million) from a Finnish authority for the deployment of File Security Screener to strengthen secure file import and malware protection capabilities.

In May 2026, the company announced the expansion of its Malmö facilities, nearly doubling its office space to accommodate workforce growth, strengthen innovation capabilities, and support increasing demand from defense, government, infrastructure, and industrial customers. The expanded premises are expected to become operational from January 2027, supporting the company’s long-term growth and capacity expansion strategy.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dyna.Ai, a global AI-as-a-Service provider headquartered in Singapore, and Gulf Applications Co. (GAPP), a premier Saudi technology integration leader, announced a partnership during LEAP 2026 in Riyadh. The partnership will bring Dyna.Ai’s agentic AI platform into the enterprise IT environments GAPP supports across the Kingdom, helping organizations drive measurable business results.

“GAPP brings strong local market knowledge and enterprise technology expertise, creating a solid foundation for this partnership,” said Carlton Liew, Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder of Dyna.Ai. “Together, we will work with organizations to identify where AI agents can add value and how they can be introduced with minimal disruption, creating a practical, lower-risk path to measurable business results.”

Ahmed Al Azmah, Chief Operating Officer of GAPP, added: “Our collaboration with Dyna.Ai creates opportunities to introduce advanced, enterprise-grade AI capabilities to organizations across the Kingdom. By pairing global AI technology with our deep local integration expertise, we aim to help Saudi organizations automate critical workflows, elevate operational standards, and support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 digital-economy objectives.”

The agreement marks Dyna.Ai’s latest step in expanding its presence across the Middle East’s enterprise technology sector.

Through our new role as a key investor and partner in Naviam, we are excited to help guide this next chapter of innovation and success.”

Concurrent with the acquisition of Cohesive, leading growth equity firm Norwest has entered a definitive agreement to make a significant growth investment in the combined businesses. Norwest will work closely with Naviam’s management team and Bentley to support continued investment in Naviam’s Maximo delivery capacity and product suite.
