Joint offering combines best-of-breed home network, endpoint and scam protection, helping Tier-1 CSPs strengthen consumer trust in the age of AI-driven threats.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CUJO AI, a global leader in cybersecurity, device and network intelligence for service providers, and F-Secure, a global leader in consumer cybersecurity and scam protection, today announced a strategic partnership to help the world’s leading Tier-1 Communication Service Providers (CSPs) deliver a seamless security experience that protects consumers across home networks and personal devices.

AI is rapidly changing the scam landscape, making fraudulent content easier to produce, more convincing and increasingly difficult for consumers to distinguish from legitimate interactions. At the same time, scams increasingly cross traditional boundaries between networks, devices, applications, and digital services.

The partnership brings together CUJO AI’s home network cybersecurity and granular device and network intelligence with F-Secure’s endpoint and embedded security capabilities, covering device, scam, identity and privacy protection. Together, the companies will help service providers protect consumers across the home network and individual devices while creating a seamless security experience at home and on the go. As consumers increasingly move between home broadband, mobile networks, applications and connected devices, their security needs extend across multiple environments. Yet protection is often delivered through separate products and experiences. CUJO AI and F-Secure are working together to simplify that landscape, helping service providers bring complementary cybersecurity capabilities into a more seamless and cohesive consumer experience.

“Consumers don’t think about security in silos; they simply expect to be protected wherever they connect,” said Remko Vos, CEO of CUJO AI. “We already enable service providers to protect millions of homes through advanced network-based cybersecurity, scam protection and device intelligence. By combining these capabilities with F-Secure’s endpoint security and scam protection expertise, we can help service providers close the gap between home network and device protection and create a more seamless security experience for consumers.”

CUJO AI provides cybersecurity directly at the home network level, protecting connected devices without requiring security software to be installed on each individual device. Its platform also provides deep intelligence into connected devices, applications and network behavior, helping service providers identify threats, understand their subscribers’ connected environments and deliver subscriber-facing security services at scale.

F-Secure complements these capabilities with endpoint and consumer cybersecurity solutions spanning device protection, scam protection, identity, privacy and embedded security, bringing visible value for consumers into everyday digital interactions. Together, the companies will reduce fragmentation between network and endpoint protection and help service providers deliver a more integrated security experience across home and mobile environments.

“The trust advantage for CSPs in the agentic AI era has never been clearer, and we recognize the importance of equipping the world’s leading providers to succeed in protecting their customers in a holistic way,” said Timo Laaksonen, President and CEO of F-Secure. “We are delighted to be partnering with CUJO AI to help us achieve this; this partnership demonstrates a natural evolution in providing the best-of-breed solution with holistic protection for an evolving threat landscape.”

Through the partnership, CUJO AI and F-Secure will collaborate with the world’s leading service providers on opportunities including integrated network and endpoint protection, seamless security across broadband and mobile environments, simplified customer experiences, and new security propositions designed to strengthen subscriber engagement, retention and monetization.

The partnership also creates opportunities to combine security and intelligence across the connected environment, helping operators better understand their customers’ devices and digital experiences while protecting them across multiple touchpoints.

Supporting long-life programs with fixed-BOM storage solutions designed for demanding aerospace and space environments

ROSWELL, Ga., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — World Micro, a global distributor of electronic components and supply chain solutions, is highlighting its relationship with Flexxon and the company’s specialized storage portfolio designed to address a growing challenge across the aerospace and defense industry: maintaining reliable storage technology throughout programs that may remain in service for decades.

As major semiconductor manufacturers continue transitioning away from legacy NAND technologies, aerospace and defense manufacturers face a fundamentally different challenge than commercial electronics companies. Platforms with 10, 15 or 20-year lifecycles cannot simply redesign every time a storage component reaches end-of-life.

Through its relationship with Flexxon, World Micro can help customers address this challenge with storage solutions designed around long-term availability, fixed-BOM support and continued production of legacy formats. Aerospace and defense organizations evaluating NAND obsolescence, upcoming redesigns or long-term storage requirements are encouraged to engage World Micro early to explore available Flexxon solutions.

“For aerospace and defense customers, component availability isn’t simply a procurement issue—it can become a program continuity issue,” said Vladimir Prevot, VP of Supply Chain. “Our relationship with Flexxon gives us another way to help customers plan around obsolescence and support platforms with lifecycles that extend far beyond those of typical commercial electronics.”

Storage Designed for Long-Life Aerospace Programs

Flexxon’s approach to product longevity is particularly relevant to aerospace and defense applications, where qualification requirements, redesign costs and long program lifecycles make component changes significantly more complex.

Flexxon supports customers with fixed-BOM solutions extending beyond ten years and a commitment to maintaining products while customers continue to require them. This approach provides aerospace and defense manufacturers with an alternative to repeatedly redesigning systems around changing commercial NAND roadmaps.

World Micro works alongside customers to identify these requirements early, helping pair long-term component availability with broader strategies for obsolescence management, supply continuity and lifecycle planning.

Spotlight: Flexxon Radiation-Hardened Storage

One area of particular interest is Flexxon’s RAD-HARD NAND storage portfolio, engineered for aerospace and outer-space data applications where storage devices may be exposed to demanding environmental and radiation conditions. 

The portfolio includesFlexxon PCIe SSDs (HIX Series), eMMC (XTRA VII Series), and Memory Cards (FxAdv II Series). Depending on the product family, available capabilities include capacities up to 8TB, hardware power-loss protection, AES-256 and TCG OPAL data encryption, FIPS 140-2 certification, and extended operating-temperature support. 

Flexxon’s radiation testing addresses several conditions relevant to space applications, including Total Ionizing Dose (TID), Single Event Effects (SEE), neutron radiation and Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID), alongside temperature and vacuum testing. 

Potential applications identified by Flexxon include satellites, rovers, telescopes, defense and intelligence systems, weather sensors, communications infrastructure, GPS, IoT and 5G systems. 

Combining Specialized Technology with Supply Chain Support

For World Micro customers, the value extends beyond access to the technology itself. World Micro combines Flexxon’s specialized storage portfolio with supply-chain expertise supporting aerospace and defense manufacturers navigating component shortages, obsolescence, long-term availability and demanding program requirements.

Together, the companies provide customers with another option for addressing a question that is becoming increasingly important across long-life programs: How do you design today for technology that still needs to be available years—or decades—from now?

“Flexxon’s long-lifecycle philosophy aligns extremely well with the customers World Micro supports,” added d Dan Ellsworth, President & CEO. “When a platform has to remain operational for decades, continuity matters. We want to help customers identify technologies and supply strategies that can support the full lifecycle of their programs.”

Cox Automotive’s VinSolutions Embeds Fullpath’s AI-Powered Customer Data Platform Directly into Mutual Clients’ CRM

Published

October 8, 2026

By

ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cox Automotive’s VinSolutions, the industry’s number one CRM trusted by thousands of dealerships nationwide, today announced a milestone upgrade: All mutual Fullpath and VinSolutions clients will have an embedded Customer Data Platform (CDP) with AI insights built in, powered by Fullpath technology.

“Other CDPs are mostly focused on data ingestion, structuring and organization. With Fullpath’s CDP in VinSolutions, we put the power of that data directly in the hands of sales reps to personalize every interaction and close more deals,” said Paulo da Silva, VP of Digital Commerce, Cox Automotive. “What’s unique about Fullpath and VinSolutions is that the embedded CDP can also be upgraded seamlessly with Agentic AI capabilities to make that enriched data truly actionable.”

Dealers who run both VinSolutions and Fullpath already know the value of unified customer data. What’s new is where that intelligence now lives: directly inside the VinSolutions CRM record sales reps already use every day, not a separate screen to check. A marketing director can target shoppers who are in-market; a GM or GSM can see which deals are closest to closing; and the sales team walks into every conversation with AI-powered insights already on the record they’re viewing — no extra login, no separate tool.

The VinSolutions integration with Fullpath’s CDP provides three major value points for dealers:

One less system to log into: Their existing CDP instance is now accessible directly through VinSolutions.More customer context: The AI summary powered by Fullpath is surfaced in the customer profile, giving users additional insight at critical moments of engagement.Website activity in VinSolutions: Fullpath website data is now visible directly in the VinSolutions’s timeline.

“This release brings the industry’s most powerful first-party data and AI-powered customer intelligence directly into the CRM dealers use every day,” said Jessica Stafford, SVP of Consumer Solutions, Cox Automotive. “Capabilities that used to require a separate platform and a separate budget, are now built directly into the system they already know. Only Cox Automotive can deliver this supercharged value at scale.”

“Bringing Fullpath’s CDP intelligence directly into VinSolutions feels like watching two powerhouse digital platforms lock together,” said Don Erwin, Marketing and Communication Director for Mtn View Automotive Group, in Chattanooga, TN. “Suddenly, the customer profile isn’t just a CRM record — it becomes a living picture of that shopper’s journey, interests, activity and intent. This integration doesn’t simply pull back the curtain on the customer; it practically tears it away, giving our team a level of visibility we’ve never had inside the CRM before.” 

“The pace and depth of innovation that has defined Fullpath will accelerate now that we’re part of the Cox Automotive portfolio,” said Aharon Horwitz, CEO & Co-Founder, Fullpath. “Nobody else can pair our AI with data at this scale. That’s going to drive value for dealers — and for this industry — that no one else can touch. And this is just the first move. There’s a lot more coming from Cox and Fullpath together.”

The embedded CDP upgrade is being rolled out to all customers who have VinSolutions CRM and Fullpath through the end of the year. For more information, reach out to your Fullpath Customer Success Manager.
