Co-founder Johan Risch returns as CTO as Stream Analyze builds out its commercial team. Stockholm, Sweden, 25 August 2026: Stream Analyze, the Edge AI software company, today announced three additions to its team, all of whom took up their roles over the summer. Co-founder Johan Risch joins as Chief Technology Officer, Ronald Meuwsen as Business Development Director and Vanessa Löfving as Head of Professional Services. The hires follow the appointment of Stefan Månsby as CEO and an expanded investment from long-term owner MOOR Holding earlier this year, and give the company both technical depth and commercial reach as it scales work with industrial partners in Europe and North America. Johan Risch was one of the founders of Stream Analyze and led the architecture of the Stream Analyze Platform, the company's system for building, adapting, querying and running AI models directly on edge devices. He takes the CTO role after a little over a year at Weir Minerals as senior AI Engineer and Technical Lead for predictive analytics. "Having spent over a year away in the broader industry, where companies are just starting to recognize the power of EdgeAI, I've become even more convinced that what Stream Analyze has to offer is something that will be desperately needed by any team who wishes to gain greater functional value and to see significant business outcomes - all this driven by sophisticated Edge deployment. - Johan Risch, CTO, Stream Analyze Ronald Meuwsen joins from Wind River, where he was Sales Director EMEA, with earlier commercial roles at Red Hat and Oracle. He will lead business development across Europe and North America. Vanessa Löfving joins from DNV, where she spent three years as Consultant Manager for GRC and Information Security within DNV Cyber, running an advisory team and its commercial performance. At Stream Analyze she will build the company's consulting and professional services business, working with industrial customers on where Edge AI is worth applying and what it gives them.

Wind River completes FIPS 140-3 validation with Corsec. 12th July 2026 Corsec would like to congratulate its partner, Wind River Systems, Inc., on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) validation process on their Wind River FIPS Object Module. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and third-party confirmation that the product meets rigorous government security requirements for protecting sensitive data. To achieve this benchmark, Wind River partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 1 as seen in certificate #5396. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module's security policy, visit NIST's validated modules site. To learn how to engineer your product to meet federal and regulated industry requirements - and avoid common certification delays, schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer. About FIPS 140. FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3 are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency. FIPS 140 is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability. About the Wind River FIPS Object Module. The Wind River FIPS Object Module is a general-purpose software cryptographic library offering symmetric encryption/decryption, digital signature generation/verification, hashing, cryptographic key generation, random number generation, message authentication, and key establishment functions. It is designed for ease of use with the popular OpenSSL cryptographic library and toolkit and is available for use as part of Wind River's platforms. About Corsec security, Inc. For over 28 years, Corsec has guided companies through complex security certifications, like FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria (CC), CSfC, and DoD STIG / DoDIN APL. Corsec's end-to-end approach helps organizations reduce risk, avoid certification delays, and accelerate time to market. From mobile devices to satellites, its expertise ensures a more predictable and efficient path to validation.

Integrated DO-178C multicore certification solution will debut from Rapita, Wind River. June 09, 2026 Assistant Managing Editor Military Embedded Systems YORK, U.K. Software-verification tool maker Rapita Systems announced a collaboration with embedded-software company Wind River to deliver what its says is the aerospace industry's first fully integrated product designed to guide avionics programs through DO-178C multicore certification. According to the announcement, the collaborative solution is a unified, off-the-shelf platform that enables a clear and guided path from Stage of Involvement phase 1 (SOI1) through SOI4, bringing together platform software, analysis tools, certification artifacts, and services into a single, cohesive framework. By combining Wind River's certifiable operating systems, virtualization platform, and simulation technologies with the Rapita Systems timing and multicore interference analysis, customers can obtain a fully integrated solution, built specifically for certification success. The announcement says that the solution directly addresses the hardest challenges in multicore certification, including interference analysis, resource contention, and system-level verification across shared hardware environments. Major capabilities include a certifiable multicore foundation with the VxWorks RTOS and Helix Virtualization Platform hypervisor; integrated timing and interference analysis aligned to certification guidance using Rapita's RVS tool suite; and MACH178-aligned processes, tools, and evidence for a guided certification path across all SOI stages.
