Shufti launches Summer 2026 Innovation Drop with unified compliance tools. Shufti has unveiled its Innovation Drop: Summer Edition 2026, which features three new products. These help to unify identity verification, qualified signing, transaction monitoring and digital asset compliance into a single platform. Shufti wants to help businesses handle different compliance functions, and avoid fragmented workflows, as regulatory frameworks tighten across digital identity, financial crime and digital assets. Europe's updated eIDAS 2.0 framework requires trusted electronic identification and qualified signatures, while the EU's new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation takes effect in July 2027. In digital asset markets, the FATF Travel Rule and EU Transfer of Funds Regulation mandate stricter information exchange between providers. "We expanded Shufti to connect these critical compliance activities around a verified identity," says Frayam Asif, CTO at Shufti. Shufti's new Qualified Electronic Signatures capability links verified identity directly to legally binding e-signatures, giving them full eIDAS legal standing across the EU. Its Transaction Trust Monitoring tool combines fraud and AML detection into a single scoring engine, supported by integrated case management and audit trails. Meanwhile, the Travel Rule compliance module automates originator and beneficiary data exchange for virtual asset transfers, with counterparty risk scoring and secure IVMS 101 messaging. Shufti will host live demo sessions on August 18, August 25 and September 1, covering qualified signatures, transaction monitoring and Travel Rule compliance. The company says the Summer Edition reflects its vision of "One Platform. Truly Glocal. End-to-End Compliance." Article topics. Latest biometrics news.

Cyberhaven names Todd Rotger president to lead next phase of growth. Coming Off Record First Half Revenue Growth and Plan Overachievement, Company Welcomes Rotger and Three Additional Executive Leaders to Advance Its Mission of Securing Data for the Agentic Enterprise Mountain View, CA - August 19, 2026 - Cyberhaven, the leader in data security for the agentic enterprise, today announced the appointment of Todd Rotger as President, Go-to-Market. Rotger, an enterprise sales veteran, brings an exceptional track record of building category-defining companies in the cybersecurity and identity governance sector. Along with this leadership addition, Cyberhaven welcomes three new key leaders in the organization: Manish Kalia as Chief Product Officer, Aaron Feigin as Chief Marketing Officer, and Andy Dobrov as Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Services and Support. Together, these leaders will drive Cyberhaven's next phase as the leader in data security for the agentic enterprise. Todd Rotger - Proven Track Record Scaling Enterprise GTM Todd Rotger joins Cyberhaven as President, Go-To-Market Organization. With a track record scaling enterprise software organizations through the $50 million to $250 million-plus revenue range, including six and a half years leading go-to-market at Saviynt, where he helped grow annual recurring revenue from roughly $30 million to $300 million, and firsthand experience moving identity security from point tools to enterprise platforms, Rotger brings the right playbook to fuel Cyberhaven's next stage of growth. "Data security is quickly becoming the deciding factor in how enterprises adopt AI, and Cyberhaven delivers the platform to lead that shift," Rotger said. "That combination of timing and solutions readiness is rare, and it's why I joined Cyberhaven. I'm here to build a go-to-market engine that matches the scale of what this impressive platform can do." "Naming Todd as President, GTM, arrives as Cyberhaven enters its next stage of growth," Nishant Doshi, Cyberhaven CEO, said. "Building off an extremely strong first half of this year as we continue to attract the most innovative companies to our platform, Cyberhaven is at an incredible inflection point. Todd's history of scaling enterprise revenue through this exact stage, his fluency in shifting security categories from point tools to platforms, and his instinct for outcome-based selling will help Cyberhaven expand its go-to-market organization, deepen our footprint with the most innovative companies, and reach the ambitious milestones ahead of us." Manish Kalia - Leading Product Strategy for the Agentic Enterprise Manish Kalia joins as Cyberhaven's Chief Product Officer. A seasoned product leader who has built startups and managed large product portfolios, Kalia most recently served as vice president of product management at Ping Identity, where he led products for the market-leading identity and access management SaaS platform for nearly three years. He pairs that expertise, sharp judgment, and decisive execution with a clear vision for using AI to secure AI, a combination that will shape Cyberhaven's product strategy for the agentic enterprise. "Agentic apps and tools running on the endpoint have become an easy entry point for attackers to exfiltrate sensitive credentials and data," Kalia said. "Cyberhaven Flow, with its unique data lineage capabilities, protects the agentic enterprise from this rapidly expanding attack surface." Aaron Feigin joins Cyberhaven as Chief Marketing Officer. With decades of experience, Feigin has built the marketing and communications engines behind category-defining companies, including Sumo Logic, where he helped take the company from $10 million in revenue through IPO to a $300 million-plus annual run rate as a leader in observability, cloud security, and real-time data analytics, and VMware, where he led the market introduction of VMware NSX, a network virtualization platform that grew from several million to several hundred million dollars in revenue in under three years. "We're living through the biggest shift in how work gets done in a generation. Every company is becoming an agentic enterprise, where humans and AI agents work side by side, and data moves at machine speed," Feigin said. "When everyone has access to the same AI models, the differentiator isn't whether you use AI, it's the data fueling it. Building the story behind category-defining moments is the work I care about, and Cyberhaven is defining the next category that matters: data security for the agentic enterprise." Andy Dobrov - Turning Customer Organizations Into Competitive Differentiators Andy Dobrov joins Cyberhaven as Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Services, and Support, where he leads the company's combined Customer Experience and Technical Support organization, created to build tighter alignment and a stronger customer journey as Cyberhaven scales its customer base. Dobrov has spent his career turning customer success, support, and professional services into competitive differentiators at high-growth technology companies including Sysdig, Cohesity, and FireEye, with experience spanning AI, security, infrastructure, and SaaS from early-stage growth through large enterprise scale. "Cyberhaven's customers are the organizations furthest into the agentic future, the frontier AI labs and the most demanding, AI-forward companies in the world," Dobrov said. "Supporting customers at that caliber means support and customer success can't be an afterthought; they have to move as fast and think as sharply as the environments we're protecting. I joined Cyberhaven to bring Customer Experience and Technical Support together under one organization and build a customer journey that matches the trust these companies have placed in us." "Bringing Todd, Manish, Aaron and Andy onto our leadership team reflects our commitment to scaling Cyberhaven with the same discipline as the category-defining companies we protect," Doshi added. "Each of them has already done this before. Todd has scaled go-to-market through the exact stage we're entering now. Manish has built products that manage access at enterprise scale. Aaron has built the story behind category creation time and again. Andy has run customer organizations built for the most demanding environments in the world. They chose to join Cyberhaven because they see the same shift we do, and their experience will be invaluable as we continue to build the platform securing the agentic enterprise." The arrival of these leaders follows the recent launch of Cyberhaven Flow, an AI-native data security platform that connects lineage, identity, and behavior to protect data as it's created, copied, fragmented, and shared across human and AI workflows, marking the next phase of the company's growth as the leader in data security for the agentic enterprise.

Identity may become as fundamental to AI infrastructure as compute and cloud. As Indian enterprises embrace AI, Ping Identity views digital identity as essential for securely scaling AI and managing regulatory demands. Smruthi Nadig · AUGUST 3, 2026, 5:00 PM · Updated AUGUST 3, 2026, 6:11 PM Key Takeaways What actually matters. Digital identity is becoming essential for securely scaling AI and managing regulatory demands in Indian enterprises. The Indian government has introduced a tax holiday for foreign AI service providers to encourage local data centre establishment. India's race to build AI infrastructure has largely centred on GPUs, cloud capacity, and hyperscale data centres. But as enterprises move AI from pilot projects into production, having a secure digital identity is becoming indispensable. One of the solutions is using local data centre infrastructure, and to facilitate that, the government announced a 21-year tax holiday to foreign cloud and AI service providers in return for setting up data centres in the country. One of the players moving in is enterprise identity security provider Ping Identity, which has launched a new data centre in Mumbai, allowing organisations to host supported identity workloads locally while reducing latency and strengthening governance over digital identities. Hosted in Google Cloud's Mumbai region, the deployment also supports customers' data residency preferences as businesses navigate India's evolving privacy landscape and the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. "Customers realise it is not just about protecting data. It is about understanding who is accessing it, how it is being used, maintaining accountability and having evidence of every movement of that data," comments Jasie Fon, Regional Vice President of Asia, Ping Identity, in a conversation with AIM. Ping Identity, which was founded in Denver, US, in 2002, now considers India as among the fastest-growing strategic markets, driven by increasing enterprise AI adoption, stricter governance requirements, and rising demand for trusted digital infrastructure. Why India, why now? For Ping Identity, opening a local data centre is the culmination of a strategy that began well before the latest AI boom. Fon says the company deliberately chose India as a growth market because enterprise identity was becoming increasingly critical as organisations digitised their operations. "When I continued to engage with customers in India, one thing that kept coming up was data residency requirements, particularly from highly regulated industries," she highlights. The company employs around 300 people in India across engineering, product development and customer support, with the new Mumbai deployment extending that long-term investment. The greatest pull has been the DPDP Act, as many enterprises are now recognising that identity governance offers an opportunity to modernise how access to critical systems and data is managed. Identity becomes AI's trust layer. While identity has traditionally focused on securing employees and customers, the rapid rise of AI agents is fundamentally changing its role. According to Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report, 40% of Indian organisations report significant or full AI usage, compared with a global average of around 28%. As AI becomes embedded in enterprise operations, organisations must govern not only people but also autonomous software agents. Whether an AI agent is approving a bank loan, accessing sensitive patient records, or resetting customer passwords, enterprises need visibility into what information it can access, what actions it can perform, and whether those actions remain appropriately governed throughout its lifecycle, she says. That, Fon believes, elevates identity from a traditional security function to a foundational component of AI infrastructure. "We see identity becoming the foundation, the trust layer of AI," Fon says. "You need traceability, auditability, and governance. If an AI agent goes rogue, you need human oversight and the ability to intervene." Ping Identity describes this approach as providing a continuous "trust layer" through its Runtime Identity platform, which verifies identity, context, and intent across customers, employees, partners, and non-human entities. Governance shifts beyond IT. AI is also changing who builds technology inside enterprises. Fon says innovation is increasingly originating from business functions rather than central IT teams, with departments deploying their own AI agents to automate everyday tasks. While this democratisation of AI accelerates innovation, it also introduces governance risks if organisations lack consistent identity controls. Rather than tying identity to individual AI development platforms, Ping advocates a universal identity layer capable of recognising and governing AI agents regardless of where they are created. "It shouldn't matter which platform you use to develop your agents," Fon says. "Identity sits within the organisation's infrastructure and should recognise every agent, assign appropriate roles and define what they can read, write and execute." She describes identity as becoming the "control plane" that provides visibility, authentication, authorisation, and governance across enterprise AI environments. India's strategic role grows. Beyond customer demand, India is also becoming increasingly important to Ping Identity's global operations. Alongside serving enterprise customers, the company's Bengaluru engineering centre contributes to product development and innovation. "I think India will continue to be very strategic, not just from a revenue point of view, but also from our R&D and engineering capability perspective," Fon says. Looking ahead, she expects AI to accelerate enterprise identity adoption even further. While many international markets initially focused on customer identity, she observes that Indian organisations are currently prioritising workforce and enterprise identity as they prepare for large-scale AI deployments.
