* Enables underwriting and claims professionals to access Verisk's regulatory-grade data within Claude, surfacing relevant insights and reducing manual tasks.  

* AI-enabled insurance workflows with embedded governance and security controls that reinforce trust, ensure humans remain at the center of every decision. 

JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK), a leading strategic data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry, today announced its trusted insurance analytics are now available in Claude, Anthropic's family of AI models, through standardized Verisk Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. These connectors enable insurance and property restoration professionals to access insights conversationally within a secure, governed environment, and bring meaningful efficiency. 

Verisk's analytics and solutions are used by U.S. property & casualty insurers, including the top 100 insurers, as well as global insurers, reinsurers and brokers. This deep understanding of essential processes, platforms, and workflows positions Verisk to responsibly support the next evolution of how insurance professionals engage with trusted data and analytics through AI.

Building on this foundation, Verisk MCP connectors simplify access to insurance analytics, surfacing contextual insights and streamlining tasks within Claude:

* Through MCP connectors, insurance professionals can access Verisk's proprietary, regulatory-grade data and analytics through generative AI, governed by Verisk's established data governance framework to support customers' controlled access and compliance needs. 

* Insights are surfaced through natural language, rather than requiring navigation across multiple systems and dashboards.

* Helps teams save time by enabling tasks to be streamlined and reducing manual steps.

* Intelligently presents data and insights that are relevant to the current task or query. 

* This approach combines speed and reliability to meaningfully accelerate mission‑critical underwriting and claims workflows. 

"Trust is the foundation of insurance, and that doesn't change as new technologies emerge," said Lee Shavel, president and CEO of Verisk. "What is changing is how professionals expect to interact with information. Our role is to bring AI into insurance in a way that reflects the realities of the industry - where data must be authoritative, decisions must be explainable, and accountability remains with people. This collaboration with Anthropic applies a conversational interface to Verisk's governed analytics so professionals can work more efficiently, while upholding the industry's high standards." 

Verisk MCP Connectors Integrate Trusted Analytics, Contextual Intelligence, and Task Execution into Enterprise AI Workflows

Verisk is launching two connectors in Claude that provide conversational access to its proprietary analytics for underwriting and restoration use cases, enabling professionals to discover insights more quickly while preserving the rigor and reliability required for insurance decision-making: 

Verisk Underwriting Intelligence (ISO Indications):
Through this connector, insurers can access loss cost trends, experience insights, and filing signals from Insurance Services Office (ISO), a Verisk business, using conversational queries within their underwriting workflow. By bringing together insights that typically require navigating multiple tools and datasets, the connector helps underwriters and actuaries more efficiently assess indications, explore emerging patterns, and support underwriting decisions with greater confidence - while ensuring judgment and accountability remain with insurance professionals, consistent with existing processes and controls. It is estimated that integrating AI in this workflow could save hundreds of hours per carrier per year, freeing up capacity for higher-value, strategic analysis.

   * Verisk XactRestore:
Restoration professionals, including contractors who repair property damage following insured events, rely on Xactware from Verisk to support estimating and repair activities tied to insurance claims. Through this connector, professionals can engage with researched pricing and estimating intelligence using natural language, providing a conversational layer that supports scoping, estimate development, and iteration alongside existing estimating processes. It is estimated that experienced contractors can achieve time savings ranging from 30 minutes to two hours per estimate.

Responsible AI Built for Insurance
Verisk aligns with insurers' existing systems, entitlements, and operating models. Model- and platform-agnostic, Verisk's approach enables clients to integrate Verisk data, insights and AI into their existing environments regardless of their strategy or vendor choices. Verisk's use of AI is within established, controlled workflows and aligned with its contractual data use, confidentiality, and governance obligations.
Verisk's collaboration with Anthropic builds on the company's commitment to applying artificial intelligence responsibly in the insurance market, through rigorous governance and compliance protocols. Verisk has embedded AI across the insurance ecosystem for more than two decades and has deployed approximately 40 agentic and generative AI solutions grounded in proprietary data, deep domain expertise, and transparent, explainable methodologies.

"Insurance is a highly regulated, high-stakes industry, and Verisk has long been a leader for how trusted data and analytics are applied responsibly," said Mike Ram, Head of Insurance at Anthropic. "By pairing Claude with Verisk's governed analytics and established controls, this collaboration shows how generative AI can enhance professional decision-making without compromising the rigor and accountability the industry demands."

Shavel added, "Responsible use of generative AI isn't just about efficiency - it's about helping insurers make sound decisions, so consumers and policyholders receive clarity, confidence, and support when it matters most."

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infoblox, a leader in hybrid, multi-cloud networking and preemptive security, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Axur, a global provider of AI-powered external threat discovery and digital risk protection.

With the close of the acquisition, Infoblox expands its preemptive security capabilities to address a growing class of digital threats and risks across the external attack surface that are outside customers' direct control so organizations can identify and stop them sooner. With Axur, Infoblox will:

* Launch Digital Risk Protection Services (DRPS) which scans more than 40 million URLs daily using multi-modal AI to discover and validate threats including phishing, brand abuse, executive impersonation and credential exposure across web, social platforms, mobile apps and the dark web. It then confirms real abuse and automates takedowns of attacker infrastructure at scale.

* Turn external threat intelligence into immediate action, feeding DRPS findings directly into Infoblox Threat Defense? to block malicious destinations while takedowns are in progress, pinpoint which internal assets are reaching out to them and attribute that risk back to the organization, all within minutes of discovery.

* Establish the foundation for Continuous Threat Exposure Management as DRPS is the first capability within Infoblox Exposure Management, which will expand in stages over the coming months to deliver an ongoing, measurable approach to reducing risk across an organization's full attack surface.

"Infoblox is extending its leadership in preemptive security by expanding its ability to take down malicious infrastructure before it can be weaponized against enterprises," said Scott Harrell, president and CEO of Infoblox. "By combining Axur's external threat discovery, takedown and threat intelligence with Infoblox's DNS-based security and intelligence, we expand Infoblox's preemptive protection beyond enterprises' perimeter and into arenas like social media, app stores and the dark web."

The acquisition also enhances Infoblox Threat Intel by incorporating complementary skills, research capabilities and data sources. Where Infoblox has uniquely focused on using DNS to detect, understand and disrupt threats across the environment, Axur has focused on how they emerge in the broader digital ecosystem, including the dark web and social platforms. This combined perspective will provide richer context into emerging threats, improve attribution and enable earlier, more proactive disruption, particularly as attackers use AI to scale phishing, impersonation and fraud campaigns globally.

"Axur brings highly complementary data sources and expertise that meaningfully expand our intelligence portfolio," said Dr. Ren?e Burton, vice president of threat intelligence, Infoblox. "Together, we can connect external signals with DNS-level insight to give customers clearer visibility and more confidence in how they respond."

"This is an important milestone for Axur," said Fabio Ramos, CEO, Axur. "Becoming part of Infoblox allows us to scale our mission globally and combine external threat intelligence with deep network insight to deliver a more proactive, measurable approach to security, and establish the foundation for managing threats across the full attack surface."

Infoblox plans to integrate Axur's capabilities into its portfolio over time, with additional details to be shared as integration progresses. For more information, read the blog on the acquisition close.***

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, announced today at ServiceNow's Knowledge26 conference the availability of a Workflow Data Fabric Zero Copy Connector for ServiceNow, a new integration that seamlessly connects hybrid data lakehouses with intelligent workflows to enable secure, real-time autonomous AI execution, without the need for costly data duplication.

As organizations race to operationalize AI, many are running into a fundamental barrier: their data. Despite strong investment and clear strategies, most enterprises still struggle to access, integrate, and govern data across fragmented environments. In fact, nearly 8 in 10 organizations say their AI initiatives are hindered by incomplete data access. This disconnect is driving demand for new architectures that eliminate data movement and bring AI directly to where data resides.

The connector allows enterprises to query data directly where it already lives, eliminating traditional data movement requirements while maintaining strict security and governance standards. By eliminating the "data movement tax," organizations can bypass data movement pipelines, reduce costs, and avoid redundant storage while keeping sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) secure within protected hybrid environments and compliant with regulations like the EU AI Act, DORA, and HIPAA.

"Enterprises cannot scale autonomous AI without being able to prove why decisions are made," said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. "Without this traceability, organizations cannot safely deploy AI agents or meet regulatory demands. This is especially critical for Chief Information Security Officers, Chief Data Officers, and Chief AI Officers, who carry the risk, security, and compliance burden as AI moves from pilot to production-scale operations."

"Cloudera plays a critical role in breaking down data silos by bringing enterprise data into a single, governed platform where it's already curated, processed, and trusted," said Pramod Mahadevan, VP, Data & Analytics Product Ecosystem at ServiceNow. "By leveraging those high-quality insights, we're able to drive intelligent automation and workflows, enabling closed-loop remediation that helps organizations quickly identify, address, and resolve issues with greater efficiency and confidence on the ServiceNow AI Platform."

This collaboration builds on a strong, established partnership, with ServiceNow joining Cloudera's partner AI ecosystem in 2025. Extending this partnership, the new Workflow Data Fabric Zero Copy Connector for ServiceNow enables enterprises to link every AI-driven action back to its source data--without moving sensitive information. As the first-to-market connector delivering hybrid-native, true zero-copy AI governance integrated with ServiceNow, organizations can operationalize AI at scale with the control, compliance, and trust required for production environments.

Learn more about Cloudera's Workflow Data Fabric Zero Copy Connector for ServiceNow by downloading our recent white paper or stopping by Cloudera's booth at ServiceNow Knowledge26, #4514. Cloudera will be participating in sessions at Knowledge26 including Fuel ServiceNow AI Agents with Zero Copy Data at 3pm on Tuesday, May 5, and Cloudera Enterprise Data Meets ServiceNow AI for Agentic Workflow at 2:30pm on Thursday, May 7.***

While nano-entrepreneurs are a vital economic segment sustaining approximately 500 million lives in India, they often face significant challenges in securing affordable financing for clean energy and productive-use technologies. This initiative aims to bridge the gap, fostering the adoption of innovative Productive Use Energy (PUE) solutions, especially targeting low-income communities and supporting the nation's Net Zero 2070 commitment.

Backed by a $3.1 million grant from Shell Foundation, the EN-Trans RSF provides a second-loss risk coverage to Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), including SIDBI as a lender, for loans extended to low-income communities.

Key Highlights of the EN-Trans RSF include: 

* Empowering nano-entrepreneurs: Expanding access to clean energy solutions--such as solar dryers for spices, fruits and vegetables, solar cookstoves, and solar looms--that improve productivity, resilience and incomes. Over a six-year project cycle, this is expected to benefit approximately 112,000 to 443,000 people, depending on average loan size.

* Catalysing the green transition: Accelerating the adoption of innovative green technologies in low-income communities, in line with India's Net Zero 2070 ambition, by providing guarantee coverage for around INR 250 crore of green loans. These loans will be delivered by partner financial institutions, including public and private sector banks, Regional Rural Banks, Cooperative Banks, Small Finance Banks, and Non-Banking Financial Companies (including NBFC‑MFIs) licensed by the Reserve Bank of India.

* Risk mitigation: Structured as a second‑loss facility, under which partner financial institutions absorb initial defaults of up to 3 per cent, with EN-Trans RSF providing coverage for a further 10 per cent (i.e. from 3 per cent to 13 per cent). This significantly reduces credit risk for lenders.

* Comprehensive support: Complementing capital with technical assistance, including training, research, monitoring and evaluation, and project management, to support effective implementation and ensure measurable impact.f

Jonathan Berman, CEO of Shell Foundation commenting on the partnership said: "Nano-entrepreneurs are at the heart of India's economy, yet too often they are excluded from the finance needed to adopt clean, productive technologies. This partnership with SIDBI demonstrates how smart risk-sharing mechanisms can unlock private capital at scale, enabling low-income entrepreneurs to grow their businesses while accelerating India's transition to a low-carbon future. This initiative reflects our commitment to solutions that deliver both economic opportunity and climate impact." 

The launch of the EN-Trans RSF underscores SIDBI's and Shell Foundation's commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable future for India.***

For years, teams focused on monitoring coverage, tracking social, and measuring activity. But that's no longer enough.

Conversations now extend far beyond traditional channels, move quicker than ever, and are shaped by journalists, creators, consumers, and increasingly, AI assistants that shape public perception at scale. The result is a more complex and distributed information environment, where teams need one view of signals across channels to spot opportunities and act quickly.

Meltwater's 2026 Mid-Year Release addresses this shift, transforming fragmented media, social, and AI signals into clear, actionable intelligence that teams can use to make faster, more confident decisions.

"We're entering a new era of narrative intelligence that requires all of us to understand and act at the speed with which online narratives develop," said Chris Hackney, Chief Product Officer at Meltwater. "This release is designed to help teams move from monitoring to discovery to action, faster than ever before."

What's new in the 2026 Mid-Year Release?

Take control of your AI presence with GenAI Lens

Meltwater's GenAI Lens was launched in 2025 as an industry-first solution for organizations to understand how their company and products are mentioned across major LLMs. Now, new AI-powered reporting and recommendations in GenAI Lens give teams even more power in actively shaping how their brand appears in AI answers.

Enhancements to GenAI Lens include:

AI-Powered Recommendations with clear suggestions on how to improve visibility and positioning in LLM responses.

LLM-Generated Reporting for branded, executive-ready summaries that are ready in minutes.

Mira: Your AI Teammate, working everywhere you are

Meltwater's AI assistant, Mira, has handled more than 1.3 million prompts for Meltwater customers to date, seamlessly completing media briefs, analyzing coverage, building reports, and more. With this release, Mira is now embedded across every step of media, social, and consumer intelligence workflows and directly integrated into the tools you already work in.

Key updates include:

Mira Agent for Slack, bringing the full power of Mira directly into Slack.

Mira Mobile, bringing real-time insights and summaries to mobile, for on-the-go intelligence and faster decision-making.

Automated Dashboard Creation & Insight Explanation enhancements bring full dashboards into Mira, eliminating the need to navigate to another tab or assemble anything manually, with clear explanations of dashboard data that mean you can understand changes quickly without manual analysis.

These updates transform AI from a tool into a true teammate, accelerating speed to insight and enabling teams to do more every day.

Deeper Intelligence with Trends Center, Expanded Data Coverage and Speech-to-Text Analysis

Understanding today's narrative requires more data coverage, especially as conversations expand across formats like video and audio. Building on the most comprehensive data set in the market, Meltwater is investing in further expanded data and richer insights, so that teams can uncover more signals and turn complex conversations into actionable intelligence.

Enhancements include:

Expanded Trends Center Coverage across X, Instagram, News, and Facebook to spot emerging trends sooner and take action.

New Data Sources, including YouTube channel-level insights and Substack content, to capture more of the conversation than ever before.

Speech-to-Text Analysis, unlocking hidden insights from video and turning spoken content from platforms like Instagram and TikTok into searchable, measurable data.

AI-Enhanced Media Relations

In today's landscape, reaching the right voices is more critical than reaching the most voices. New AI-powered updates help teams build stronger, more effective relationships with the voices shaping public perception.

New capabilities across media relations include:

Journalist Relevance Matching to identify the best-fit contacts faster. Journalist profiles now include a relevance label based on recent coverage and your story themes and outreach goals.

AI-Powered Pitch Personalization, generating tailored journalist outreach based on what they are actively covering and recent engagement.

"The challenge isn't access to data, it's making sense of it fast enough to act," said Aditya Jami, Chief Technology Officer at Meltwater. "AI only delivers value when it's embedded into day-to-day workflows and decision-making. This release brings intelligence directly into our customers' workflows so teams can move from fragmented analysis to clear understanding and action."
