Parabellyx Announces General Availability of the LUMA Platform, Launching LUMA Internal and LUMA PTaaS

Unified offensive security platform brings continuous penetration testing, plus on-demand expert-led testing, to SMB and mid-market organizations

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Parabellyx, a North American offensive security company, today announced the general availability of its LUMA platform. The release brings Parabellyx’s existing testing modules together into one platform. It also launches two new offerings. LUMA Internal delivers continuous penetration testing inside the network. LUMA PTaaS (penetration testing as a service) lets organizations pick the type of security test they need and schedule it when they want it.

AI has turned detect and respond into a race no organization can win. Predict and prevent needs objective data, and only continuous testing produces it. An annual pen test leaves you blind for eleven months. LUMA closes that gap: perimeter, internal network, and expert-led testing in one place.

LUMA combines AI-driven automation with human validation. Machines test at scale around the clock. Parabellyx’s accredited ethical hackers then check results, remove false positives, and give prioritized remediation guidance. Customers can start with one module and add more as they grow. All findings, reports, and retests are managed in a single portal.

With this release, the LUMA platform includes:

LUMA Perimeter: Continuous external penetration testing and attack surface management. It finds and tests internet-facing exposure before attackers do.LUMA Internal (new): Agentless, continuous internal penetration testing from workstations and servers all the way to Active Directory. It tests lateral movement, network segmentation and weak or reused credentials.LUMA PTaaS (new): Expert-led, on-demand penetration testing that customers order, track, and receive inside LUMA.

LUMA Internal uses a physical or virtual sensor that can be deployed and testing within hours. It continuously maps live hosts, subnets, and services, and shows how far an attacker could get from a single compromised machine. It costs about the same as one annual internal pen test, billed monthly.

LUMA PTaaS replaces the traditional cycle of a new quote, statement of work and purchase order for every test. Customers buy credits once and use them whenever they need a test, across nine assessment types: external and internal network, web application, mobile application, cloud configuration, wireless, social engineering, red team, and AI testing. Every engagement includes business logic testing, chained exploit paths, a comprehensive report within five business days, and a retest.

“The mid-market faces the same attackers as the Fortune 500, with a fraction of the budget and a shortage of expertise,” said Alexander Poizner, CEO and Co-Founder of Parabellyx. “An annual pen test leaves you blind for eleven months of the year. LUMA closes that gap. Our platform tests continuously, our ethical hackers validate what’s real, and our customers get enterprise-grade offensive security at a price that makes sense for their business. With Internal and PTaaS now on the platform, an organization can test its perimeter and the inside of its network, and order expert-led testing whenever it needs it, all from one place.”

Parabellyx was founded in 2018 by offensive security experts and is a founder-led startup. It has grown revenue more than 100% year over year, entirely organically and with no institutional funding. Parabellyx serves customers from SMB to enterprise in healthcare, finance, technology, manufacturing and the public sector. It sells directly and through channel partners in North America, the UK, the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Availability

The LUMA platform, including LUMA Internal and LUMA PTaaS, is available now directly from Parabellyx and through its channel partners. Organizations can book a 15-minute scoping call at www.parabellyx.com.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
