Consumer electronics and home appliance leader sponsors sensory inclusion initiative across all 16 host cities, helping fans with sensory sensitivities experience football’s biggest stage

DUBAI, UAE, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading global home appliance and consumer electronics company, have announced a groundbreaking partnership with FIFA and KultureCity to support the first-ever Sensory Inclusive tournament at the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Through this initiative, all 16 host stadiums across the United States, Canada, and Mexico will feature dedicated sensory rooms equipped with Hisense display technology. Designed for fans who experience sensory overload—including individuals with autism, PTSD, dementia, anxiety, and other conditions—these spaces will provide calming, supportive environments within the high-energy setting of match day.

Expanding Access to the Beautiful Game

Research indicates that an estimated 5% to 16.5% of people experience sensory processing challenges. For these fans, the intensity of live sporting events—the high energy of the crowd, sudden cheers, and ongoing movement—can make attending feel overwhelming or inaccessible. This initiative looks to change that, ensuring that more fans can experience the beautiful game in person.

“Football has a unique ability to bring people together across cultures, generations, and communities, and nowhere is that spirit felt more strongly than across our region,” said Jason Ou, President of Hisense Middle East, Africa and India. “At Hisense, we are committed to enriching lives through innovation. By supporting a more inclusive FIFA World Cup experience, we aim to help ensure that more fans and families in the Middle East can share in the excitement, connection, and sense of belonging that make football the world’s game.”

Sensory-Inclusive Infrastructure Across All 16 Stadiums

The initiative centers on two key components: Sensory Rooms at Every Stadium: Each of the 16 venues will include a dedicated quiet space where fans can step away from match intensity to regulate their sensory experience. These rooms will feature dimmed lighting, reduced noise, comfortable seating, tactile resources, and Hisense displays presenting calming visual content. Hisense’s advanced screen technology delivers clear, balanced visuals designed to support relaxation and sensory regulation.

Stadiums will feature sensory rooms within the venue or in the Stadium Fan Experience area as part of the expanded stadium footprint. In eight stadiums, both options will be available to fans, and fans will have access to a space in every stadium during every minute of the game itself. These rooms extend access to calming spaces throughout the venue, recognizing that sensory needs can arise at any moment during the event experience.

Ticket Access: In partnership with KultureCity, Hisense will provide complimentary match tickets in each Host City to families with sensory needs who may otherwise be unable to attend.

Creating a More Inclusive Tournament

In addition, the sensory rooms complement FIFA’s broader accessibility efforts, including sensory bags and trained venue staff to support fans with diverse needs.

“Football unites the world, and it is our goal to help everyone be able to participate in this sport—whether as a player or as a fan,” said Heimo Schirgi, Chief Operating Officer of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will feature 104 matches across 16 cities over 39 days. For the first time in tournament history, every host stadium will include dedicated sensory-inclusive and accessible spaces—marking an important evolution in how global sporting events serve diverse audiences.

Surface Security Launches Data-Sovereign Phishing Defense for the AI Era

Published

on

By

Surface Security launches data-sovereign browser defense for the AI era, helping organizations detect new phishing attacks, protect sensitive data with browser-native DLP, and gain visibility into employee AI usage and security risks. Powered by patent pending Surface Vision technology, Surface analyzes code, network, and visual signals while learning each customer’s environment, without forcing a browser replacement or sending sensitive browsing data to a third-party cloud.

AURORA, Colo., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Surface Security announced the launch of its browser-native security platform, built to identify brand new phishing attacks, highly targeted campaigns, AI-generated threats, risky AI usage, and sensitive data exposure where modern work actually happens: the browser.

Surface was built around a simple idea: if you can see what the user sees and understand the environment they work in, you can catch attacks that traditional tools miss. We are bringing that visibility to the browser while keeping customer data in their control.

As attackers move faster and use AI to create more convincing phishing pages, cloned login flows, and targeted social engineering campaigns, security teams are left defending with tools that often lack visibility into the place these attacks actually unfold. Email gateways continue to let malicious links through, phishing now arrives through more than just email, and endpoint tools cannot reliably understand what a user is seeing, clicking, typing, uploading, or submitting inside a web page.

Surface Security was built to close that gap.

The platform deploys as a lightweight browser extension and is powered by Surface Vision, the company’s patent pending technology that analyzes browser activity through code, network, and visual signals. By seeing what the user sees, Surface can detect suspicious login pages, credential harvesting flows, impersonation attempts, and other malicious experiences even when the attack is new, targeted, or built with AI.

Beyond phishing detection, Surface extends browser visibility into data loss prevention, AI usage monitoring, and Shadow AI detection. The platform helps security teams understand when sensitive data may be exposed through browser activity, when employees are using unsanctioned AI tools, and when confidential information could be pasted, uploaded, or submitted into applications outside company control.

Surface also learns an organization’s environment as users browse and authenticate to trusted sites. Over time, this allows the platform to understand what is normal for a company, which applications employees use, how those sites should look and behave, and when something appears suspicious or out of place.

“Attackers are no longer just sending obvious phishing emails. They are building convincing, targeted experiences that trick users in the browser,” said Grant Smith, Founder and CEO of Surface Security. “Surface was built around a simple idea: if you can see what the user sees and understand the environment they work in, you can catch attacks that other tools were never designed to detect. That same visibility also gives security teams a practical way to control browser data loss, monitor AI usage, and uncover Shadow AI.”

Unlike browser security platforms that require organizations to replace their existing browsers, Surface works as an extension. This makes it easier for companies to add advanced enterprise browser security without forcing a disruptive rip and replace rollout across the workforce.

Surface is also designed around data sovereignty. The platform can be deployed on premises or in the customer’s own cloud environment, ensuring sensitive browsing telemetry, authentication context, AI usage data, and user activity remain under the organization’s control.

“With Surface, we are giving defenders visibility at the point of attack and the point of data movement,” Smith said. “The browser is where modern phishing succeeds, where employees interact with AI, and where sensitive data can leave the business. Security teams need technology that understands the full context of what users are seeing, loading, typing, uploading, and trusting.”

Surface Security is now available for enterprise pilots and customer deployments.

About Surface Security

Surface Security is building browser-native security technology to help organizations detect phishing attacks, protect sensitive data, monitor AI usage, and maintain control over browser activity. The company’s platform uses code, network, and visual analysis to identify threats and risky behavior inside the browser, including new, targeted, and AI-generated phishing attacks. Surface deploys on premises or in the customer’s own cloud environment, giving enterprises stronger protection without giving up control of sensitive data.
