PARIS, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Airties, a global leader of AI-driven software that improves the connectivity experience for ISPs’ subscribers, today introduced Airties Aura, an Agentic AI engine that autonomously diagnoses and fixes connectivity issues for homes and SMBs across the customer lifecycle. Aura, short for Agentic AI that Understands, Reasons and Automates, powers all Airties platforms for managing connectivity, device, and application data from the connected home or business.

“We have combined and evolved our existing AI automation features into one agentic AI engine which transforms connectivity insights and actions into autonomous data intelligence,” said Metin Taskin, CEO and co-founder of Airties. “Operators can now empower their teams with autonomous, AI-driven action and bring personalized offers to market faster.”

“Agentic AI becomes deployable when it is grounded in trusted data and the right governance controls,” said Sachin Chickballapur, Chief Technical and Product Officer of Airties. “That grounding comes from two decades of Airties’ Wi-Fi and connectivity domain expertise built directly into how Aura reasons and acts. Airties Aura is designed to help operators move from fragmented AI experimentation to scalable, supervised automation across customer care, marketing and network operations, while maintaining transparency, safety and operational control.”

The first operator to deploy Airties Aura within their existing Airties Home platform across households is Turknet. CEO Cem Celebiler commented: “As Türkiye’s next-generation telecommunications operator, we view artificial intelligence not simply as a technology that accelerates processes, but as a powerful enabler of better decision-making and continuous improvement in customer experience. By embedding the proactive, action-oriented capabilities of agentic AI into our customer experience, we aim to go beyond simply resolving connectivity issues. Our goal is to anticipate potential needs and identify problems earlier, enabling us to deliver a more seamless experience for our users. We see Airties Aura as a significant step forward in this journey and an integral part of our vision to shape the next generation of internet experiences today.”

Airties Aura is designed to provide measurable impact across the ISP subscriber lifecycle to improve first-contact resolution; identify more issues proactively; reduce truck rolls and repeat visits; raise NPS; and lower churn by preventing the moments that make subscribers leave. Aura gives operators’ key internal stakeholders answers and actions tailored to their specific roles, from resolving a single home to running population-scale interventions. It integrates with Airties’ overall ecosystem, powering all connected homes and businesses and works across broadband gateways, extenders, applications and connected devices.

Key Capabilities

Aura brings a broad set of capabilities to how operators run their networks and support their subscribers, built on Airties’ foundation of AI/ML-driven connectivity intelligence drawn from more than 50 million connected homes and businesses. These capabilities include:

Agentic automation, enabling agents to take controlled autonomous action based on clear recommendations;Tailored responses to the person making queries: a quick summary for a frontline agent on a live call, a full diagnostic report for a network engineer, or a plain-English explanation for the subscriber themselves;Integration with Airties’ platforms and interfaces operators already use, including Careview, surfacing AI-generated summaries and recommended actions directly inside existing workflows, plus open, agent-to-agent interoperability that lets Aura plug into an operator’s own AI initiatives and platforms;Human-in-the-loop governance that ensures transparency and provides operators control of which actions run autonomously and which require approval and can be scaled up as confidence in automation increases; andAutomated and scalable anomaly and threat detection across home and SMB networks, aggregating device and network telemetry to enable subscriber-level protection and proactive remediation.

Value for Every Role

Aura’s answers and actions are tailored to whoever is asking. Notably:

For subscribers, Aura powers agentic AI self-care directly inside the apps they already use, interacting with the subscriber, understanding and recommending resolution for common issues, from restarting a node to setting up a guest network, in plain language and without a call to support;For customer care, Aura pairs conversational recommendations and AI-assisted diagnostics with next-best actions grounded in operator-owned data, and cross-references each case against the full subscriber base in real time to catch fleet-wide patterns a single agent could never see alone;For marketing teams, Aura helps launch personalized services, identifies behavioral trends, anticipates churn risk, and lets teams query audiences through natural language; andFor network operations and engineering, Aura enables safe, auditable automation at scale, including firmware rollout and rollback management, remote troubleshooting, targeted configuration testing, and real-time KPI monitoring.

ZeroRisk raises $10 million to scale merchant cybersecurity platform

Published

September 9, 2026

Funding will accelerate global expansion, product development and the deployment of ZeroRisk across major payment providers.

ZeroRisk aims to dominate the emerging risk orchestration segment in the payment processing market.

DUBLIN, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ZeroRisk the Irish cybersecurity company helping payment providers manage and reduce cyber risk across their merchant portfolios, has raised $10 million in Series A funding.

Founded in 2023, ZeroRisk gives banks and payment providers a single view of cyber risk across their merchant portfolios. It brings together risk monitoring, compliance, education, guided remediation and protection services in one platform. Merchants receive clear guidance on the risks that matter to their business and the steps they can take to address them.

The round was led by MiddleGame Ventures, with participation from existing investor Elkstone. The investment will support ZeroRisk’s expansion globally, further product development and the operational capacity needed to deploy the platform across large merchant portfolios.

ZeroRisk is already working with payment businesses including Bank of America, Global Payments, Checkout.com and Trust Payments. The company expects to grow revenue threefold in 2026 as contracted programmes move into deployment and its international customer base grows.

Merchant cyber programs have traditionally focused on annual compliance exercises. The risks facing smaller businesses now extend well beyond compliance and include scams, stolen credentials, website vulnerabilities, attacks on connected devices and the ability to recover when something goes wrong. ZeroRisk also helps payment processors turn their compliance responsibilities into revenue opportunities through the distribution of value-adding services to merchants.

Speaking today, Gary Nolan, co-founder and CEO of ZeroRisk, said: “Payment companies have spent years trying to manage merchant risk through annual compliance exercises. That is no longer enough. Their customers are dealing with scams, credential theft, website vulnerabilities and attacks on devices every day. Our job is to give payment providers visibility across the portfolio and give merchants a clear route to action.”

“ZeroRisk has moved from proving the product to deploying it at scale. This investment will allow us to expand the team, deepen the platform and support the payment providers that have chosen to build their next-generation of merchant cyber programmes with us.”

The company currently operates in Ireland and the United States, with offices in Dublin (Ireland), Atlanta (USA) and Longford (Ireland).

Patrick Pinschmidt, Co-Managing Partner at MiddleGame Ventures, added: “The ZeroRisk team brings a unique combination of commercial and technical expertise, reinforced by working hand-in-hand with leading payment providers. As former operators in the space, they understand the fundamental pain points firsthand and have built technology that transforms a critical financial services workflow, making it more intuitive and seamless for payment providers and merchants alike. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Gary and the team as they build the new standard for this critical function.”

Niall McEvoy, Head of Venture at Elkstone, said: “Elkstone first backed ZeroRisk at seed stage when Gary and the team presented their compelling vision on where the merchant cybersecurity and compliance space was heading. The commercial progress in a short period of time has been impressive, and this Series A funding round further validates investor confidence that ZeroRisk can deliver transformational change in the sector globally. We are pleased to deepen our support alongside new investor MiddleGame Ventures.”
