F5, WitnessAI, Evoke Security and Mondoo Inc. join as new sponsors as community expands AI
security solutions guidance and surpasses 30,000 members

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The OWASP GenAI Security Project, a global open-source community dedicated to advancing the security of generative AI and agentic systems, today announced a major expansion of its security resources, including the 2026 Top 10 for LLM Applications, a new Agent Control Standard for securing agentic AI systems, and expanded AI security solutions guidance. The resources coincide with the project surpassing 30,000 members worldwide and welcoming four new industry sponsors.

The OWASP GenAI Security Project’s Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026 is the latest edition of the project’s flagship guidance for identifying and mitigating the most critical security risks facing applications powered by large language models. The new edition surpassed 10,000 downloads within its first 48 hours, demonstrating the continued demand for practical, community-developed guidance as organizations move AI applications from experimentation into production.

The 2026 edition was developed with contributions from hundreds of AI security experts and incorporates updated rankings, expanded threat coverage and research drawn from thousands of real-world AI security incidents. It also expands mappings to other leading frameworks, including NIST, MITRE ATLAS, CWE and the OWASP GenAI Security Project’s Top 10 for Agentic Applications.

The OWASP GenAI LLM Top 10 2026 is available for download at https://genai.owasp.org/resource/owasp-genai-llm-top-10-2026/

The project also welcomed additional industry sponsors supporting its open-source research and community programs. New Gold Sponsors are F5 and WitnessAI. New Silver Sponsors are Evoke Security and Mondoo Inc.

Other key announcements include:

The project also unveiled its expanded AI Security Solutions Directory, an interactive resource that provides multiple lenses for understanding the rapidly evolving AI security market, including Generative AI Security, Agentic Security, and AI and Agentic Red Teaming.The Agent Control Standard (ACS) has been donated to the OWASP GenAI Security Project. The addition of ACS complements the project’s existing work on agentic AI risks, security controls, identity, governance and testing by extending that guidance toward practical runtime enforcement.The project also highlighted the new GenAI Security Industry Framework Crosswalk, an open resource designed to help organizations connect OWASP GenAI security guidance with established security, risk and compliance frameworks.The project has now surpassed 30,000 members on LinkedIn, bringing together security practitioners, AI developers, researchers, technology providers, government participants and other contributors from around the world.

Scott Clinton, chair and co-founder, OWASP GenAI Security Project, said: “Generative AI security has moved incredibly quickly from an emerging concern to an operational priority. What we saw at Black Hat and DEF CON this summer reinforces the need for open, practical guidance that security teams, developers and AI practitioners can put to work today. The growth of the project – and the breadth of contributions coming from across the industry – reflect how important community-driven standards and resources have become as AI and autonomous agents move into production.”

Steve Wilson, Top 10 for LLM founder and board member at OWASP GenAI Security project, and chief AI and product officer at Exabeam, said: “The 2025 Top 10 captured what practitioners were seeing as generative AI rapidly moved into the enterprise. In 2026, we’ve taken an important step forward, testing that community expertise against thousands of real-world incidents and using the evidence to sharpen how we prioritize risk. It also points to an important evolution ahead: AI is moving from models that generate content to agents that can act autonomously. Security must evolve with it—assuming AI will sometimes fail or be fooled and putting enforceable controls around what these systems can access, decide and do.”

Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

Yazan Al Homsi Invests US$500,000 in Toronto Drone Maker Arcanus Aerial Systems

Private investment comes as Arcanus builds out Canadian manufacturing capacity for autonomous aerial systems

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yazan Al Homsi, a UAE-based investor and managing partner of Catalyst Communications DMCC, has invested US$500,000 in Arcanus Aerial Systems Inc., a Toronto-headquartered developer and manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems for defence, public safety and critical infrastructure customers. Al Homsi is an investor only and holds no operational, advisory or board role with the company. Other terms were not disclosed.

Arcanus is a Canadian-controlled company. It currently lists more than 15 platforms across heavy-lift, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), cargo, strike and counter-drone missions. According to the company, its published line-up includes:

AB 516e: a long-endurance vertical take-off fixed-wing aircraft rated for three hours of flight.AE 401: a counter-drone interceptor with a top speed of 300 km/h.AC 5250: a cargo platform with a 250 kg payload and a range of more than 2,300 km.

Alongside defence, Arcanus markets its systems for wildfire detection, search and rescue, Arctic sovereignty, border and maritime patrol, and pipeline and power line monitoring.

The company has spent 2026 assembling its domestic production base. In April, Arcanus signed a binding term sheet with Portugal-based Beyond Vision, granting it rights to manufacture, commercialize and support Beyond Vision’s unmanned aerial systems in Canada.

In June, Arcanus announced a five-year agreement appointing FeralX Systems Inc. as a non-exclusive Canadian contract manufacturer for several of its platforms.

“Canada has the engineering talent to build these systems at home, and recent years have shown how much depends on having that capacity domestically,” said Yazan Al Homsi. “What stood out to me about Arcanus was the manufacturing groundwork already in place: licensing, a production partner, and a range of aircraft that serves wildfire crews and search-and-rescue teams alongside defence customers.”

About Yazan Al Homsi

Yazan Al Homsi is a UAE-based investor and managing partner of Catalyst Communications DMCC, which he founded in Dubai in 2018. He was previously based in Vancouver, where he founded Founders Round Capital in 2017 and built a track record of investments in early-stage and small-cap companies. He earned a finance degree from McGill University in 2004 and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. Before turning to investing, he spent more than a decade with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the Middle East, rising to director and focusing on transaction due diligence and valuation.
