New White House directive reinforces the need for AI-enabled, continuously validated security across federal networks and critical infrastructure

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—June 9, 2026—Synack, the AI + human penetration testing platform, today highlighted how its FedRAMP Moderate Authorized PTaaS platform and Sara AI Pentesting align with the cybersecurity priorities outlined in the White House’s new Executive Order, “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security.” The order introduces a voluntary framework for testing frontier AI models before public release—and separately directs federal agencies to accelerate AI-enabled cyber defense, expand access to advanced cybersecurity tools, and coordinate vulnerability discovery and remediation at scale. Both priorities reflect a broader federal push to ensure AI is deployed securely. Synack already supports that mission for federal customers, including the majority of cabinet-level agencies.

Scaling Defenses to Match AI-Era Threats

The Executive Order directs the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to establish or expand federal programs that enhance AI-enabled defensive cybersecurity tools to match the speed and scale of evolving threats. Sara AI Pentesting automates reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, and initial exploits at machine speed, while the Synack Red Team (SRT)—a globally vetted community of elite ethical hackers—validates what is real, exploitable, and relevant to the mission. This combination of agentic AI and human expertise enables federal agencies to test more frequently and cover more attack surface than either approach can achieve alone. AI finds more. Humans prove what matters.

“This Executive Order sends a clear signal: periodic testing and automated scanning alone are no longer enough to keep pace with AI-era threats,” said Jay Kaplan, CEO and Co-founder, Synack. “Federal security teams need continuous validation, AI-enabled scale, and human expertise to determine what is actually exploitable. That is exactly the model we have been building toward for 13 years, and what we deliver to federal customers today through our FedRAMP Moderate Authorized PTaaS platform.”

Securing Critical Infrastructure

As part of this order, CISA will facilitate access to cybersecurity services for operators of critical infrastructure—including rural hospitals, community banks, and local utilities. Synack has spent 13 years securing some of the most sensitive assets in these sectors, from the F-15’s Trusted Aircraft Information Download Station (TADS) to remote elections technology for Democracy Live. Synack’s continuous testing model ensures findings are validated and actionable.

Continuous Vulnerability Discovery for Federal Compliance

The Executive Order establishes a new AI cybersecurity clearinghouse to coordinate vulnerability scanning, validate findings, and prioritize remediation across federal networks and critical infrastructure—and directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to identify grant funding for advanced AI vulnerability detection. Synack delivers precisely this model of continuous security validation. As documented in the 2026 State of Vulnerabilities Report, Synack tested for React2Shell across customer assessments—surfacing zero-day exposure at a frequency and scale that periodic testing cannot match.

As the Executive Order’s 30- and 60-day implementation timelines begin, federal agencies and critical infrastructure operators face real urgency to modernize their security testing programs and remediation process. Synack is ready to help them meet these mandates today. Schedule a readiness assessment at synack.com.

BOSTON: June 9, 2026 – Vodia Networks, Inc., a provider of unified cloud communications solutions to enterprises, contact centers, and service providers, is pleased to announce the newest version of the industry-standard Vodia PBX, V70, enables presence information sharing externally between tenants and across individual PBX systems, helping teams stay connected across distributed communication environments. 

V70 introduces the ability to share presence information between two tenants on the same PBX, or across different PBX servers in separate locations. The PBX systems must be able to reach each other through the internet for the exchange of presence information across environments. Once configured, the external account can be monitored through multiple interfaces. 

This feature extends BLF visibility beyond a single tenant or PBX system, creating new possibilities for organizations operating across multiple locations or managing distributed PBX deployments. V70 also creates a path for external applications to push presence information through the REST API, enabling additional flexibility for custom integrations and communication workflows. 

External Presence Sharing is extremely useful for organizations operating across multiple offices, separate PBX systems, or multi-tenant deployments: 

●      businesses with users distributed across multiple locations

●      organizations operating separate PBX systems by department or office

●      service providers managing multiple tenants

●      teams that require visibility into extension availability across environments

 By extending presence visibility beyond a single PBX environment, V70 helps organizations maintain clearer communication visibility across users and locations.

V70 improvements for modern PBX deployments

Version 70 of the Vodia PBX introduces major architectural and usability improvements designed for modern business communication environments. In addition to External Presence Sharing, V70 also: 

●      introduces a completely refreshed admin interface built on new technology

●      uses multiple CPU cores for media processing, enabling more than a thousand calls on a single server

●      provides snapshot creation and restoration using a file system approach for rollback and recovery

●      enables centralized remote provisioning

●      supports cross-tenant BLF status sharing 

For businesses and service providers managing larger deployments, these improvements provide greater operational flexibility, scalability, and visibility across multiple environments.

LOS ANGELES, 5 June 2026   — Rently, the resident lifecycle management platform designed for single-family and multifamily operators, today announced the launch of Ria, an AI leasing agent powered by Rently Intelligence. Built to help property management teams engage prospects faster and more effectively, Ria automates lead nurturing from first inquiry to tour booking and follow-up.

Ria engages prospective renters through personalized SMS and email, answers routine questions, encourages tour scheduling, sends reminders and re-engages leads who miss tours or drop off. By handling the repetitive follow-up, Ria helps leasing teams focus on higher-value conversations and closing leases.

“Generic automation isn’t enough anymore,” said Merrick Lackner, CEO of Rently. “The next phase of AI understands the leasing workflow, connects to real-time prospect activity and works alongside your team, not as another disconnected tool. Ria gives operators the speed and scale they need while keeping leasing teams focused on the moments where human connection matters most.”

Rently Intelligence is fully integrated within Rently’s ecosystem. Ria is the only AI that already knows what stage each lead is in. Unlike other AI tools that start cold, Ria uses context from the full prospect journey—from the first listing view to scheduled and completed self-tours—to convert leads more effectively and re-engage when drop-offs happen. Ria is also plug-and-play; most go live within a day, not weeks.

Key capabilities include:

• 24/7 lead engagement: Responds to inquiries via SMS and email, including after hours.
• Automated lead nurturing: Personalized follow-ups that encourage prospects to schedule or reschedule tours.
• Missed-tour re-engagement: Follows up with prospects to keep leads from going cold.
• Knowledge-base-driven responses: Pulls from property-specific FAQs, policies, availability and application steps, to provide consistent answers.
• Seamless agent handoffs: Escalates to leasing teams when human support is needed.

During Rently Intelligence’s beta program, most clients experienced very positive results: up to 60% more tours booked, more than 90% containment rates and up to 50 hours saved per agent per month.

“The results speak for themselves: During our beta testing, Rently Intelligence delivered a 84% lift in self-showings and saved us approximately 40 staff hours per month. Our AI leasing agent manages 95% of lead questions, ensuring our team focuses purely on high-value closing conversations, not manual outreach.” Dan Plorin, Resident Services Manager at Peak Property Management.

The launch of Ria expands Rently’s AI strategy across the resident lifecycle, giving operators a practical way to improve renter responsiveness, reduce manual workload and increase conversion without adding complexity to daily operations.

Rently Intelligence is available starting June 15, 2026, for single-family customers, with multifamily availability expected in Q4 2026. Additional capabilities, including lead scoring and qualification, and Voice AI, are expected in future releases.

Featuring a 24/7 AI Store Manager, the solution combines front-of-house, back-of-house and headquarters operations to support data-driven decision-making across chain restaurants.
 

With an annual output value of NT$40 billion, Taiwan’s hotpot sector stands as one of the largest segments within its food and beverage (F&B) industry. Nevertheless, a persistent labor crunch has left frontline store management grappling with ongoing staffing gaps. In order to resolve this labor-induced management deficit, WiXtar, the leading brand in F&B technology under the BenQ Qisda Group, has partnered with 6owl Door to debut the world’s first Agentic AI hotpot store at COMPUTEX 2026. The actionable deployment of Agentic AI in the F&B industry is demonstrated by a “24/7 AI Store Manager” that integrates front-of-house (FOH) consumer experiences, back-of-house (BOH) management, and corporate headquarters (HQ) decision-making. This highlights the Group’s strategic layout in “AI solutions and smart manufacturing.”

According to the 2025 annual report of the Ministry of Labor, annual salaries in the food and beverage (F&B) sector surged by 7.5%. However, persistent vacancy rates and staff turnover suggest that the labor shortage cannot be resolved through wage adjustments alone. Lee Yu-hsuan, General Manager of 6owl Door, noted: “The real challenge for chain restaurants stems from rapid employee turnover alongside inexperienced new hires, compounding the operational complexities of frontline management. From labor scheduling and inventory control to sales forecasting and anomaly detection, numerous tasks that once relied on empirical judgment are precisely the scenarios where AI delivers its greatest value.”

AI 24/7 Store Patrol Robot: The World’s First “24/7 AI Store Manager” Delivering Round-the-Clock Inspections
Integrating 360-degree panoramic imaging and Vision-Language Models (VLM) scene recognition and analytics technology, this system automatically collects images for analysis and converts them into execution commands via WiXtar’s AI decision-making platform. Additionally, the system recalibrates detection tasks based on mealtimes. This includes conducting sanitation and personnel grooming audits pre-service; monitoring food preparation volumes in-service; and managing safety and disaster-prevention protocols post-service. This 24/7, uninterrupted smart inspection support offloads multiple manual inspection functions from frontline staff.

AI Self-Ordering Kiosk: The Sales Expert on Consumer Behavior and Preferences
In the front-of-house (FOH) customer touchpoints, self-ordering kiosks, QR code ordering, and the integration of VLM scene recognition and analysis enable the detection of customers’ hesitations or transactional friction in real time. Customers are then directed through the ordering process and given AI-based product and set-meal options. The endeavor to provide recommendations increases average order value (AOV) and alleviates the FOH manpower burden.

AI Decision-Making Platform: The Data-Driven Store AI Command Center
An AI decision-making advisor that offers actionable recommendations has been created by integrating omnichannel transactions, membership data, inventory, and ERP systems, and by leveraging D8AI’s AI Agent Builder platform. These recommendations include pre-opening ingredient prep and labor scheduling, mid-shift real-time sales intelligence, and post-closing operational insights and improvement plans. This advisor drives real-time frontline execution, enabling management decisions to transition from being “experience-driven to data-driven.” Simultaneously, it empowers corporate headquarters to proactively align with frontline demands in real time while maintaining a precise grasp on individual store performance.

AI Ordering and Receiving: The Food Waste Sentinel of the Smart Supply Chain
By incorporating historical sales data, weather, holiday calendars, and budgeting, the system automatically generates AI order recommendations. Upon receipt, the system uses VLM image recognition to identify incoming orders, automatically cross-reference the data, and complete receiving verification. This eliminates labor-intensive manual invoice entry and verification, enforcing a digital audit trail across the entire workflow to mitigate food waste and cut operational costs at the source.

From SaaS Platform to AI Infrastructure: WiXtar’s Digital Edge and Strategic Deployment Roadmap
According to May Kang, CEO of WiXtar, “In the age of Agentic AI, global SaaS is transitioning from licensing sales modules to actively driving business outcomes, fueling WiXtar’s evolution into an execution-level Agentic AI that empowers brands to build actionable, quantifiable AI infrastructure. By leveraging our data-driven foundation, brands can obtain quantifiable business outcomes, such as improving restocking accuracy rates and increasing order volume.” Leveraging its one-stop vertical integration expertise across the Asia-Pacific region, WiXtar is accelerating the F&B industry’s AI transformation by scaling its Agentic AI operating model across more than 47,000 chain outlets.
