  • HP and Karamba Security Renew Multi-Year Software Licensing Agreement to Protect HP’s Business and Enterprise Printers

    HP and Karamba Security Renew Multi-Year Software Licensing Agreement to Protect HP’s Business and Enterprise Printers

    The companies extend their long-standing agreement with a three-year renewal for XGuard® runtime integrity software, strengthening HP Print security leadership

    HP (NYSE:HPQ)

    Karamba Security’s XGuard software delivers reliable runtime protection, helping our customers safeguard their printers against a broad range of cyberattacks, such as file-based and file-less malware.”
    — Shivaun Albright, Chief Technologist for Print Security at HP Inc.

    HOD HASHARON, ISRAEL, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ), the world’s largest printer provider, and Karamba Security, a global leader in product cybersecurity, announced today that HP Inc. has renewed its multi‑year agreement to license Karamba’s XGuard® runtime-protection technology across HP’s business printer families. The renewal marks the seventh consecutive year of collaboration, strengthening HP’s commitment to deliver the world’s most secure printers.

    Printers: The Back Door to the Enterprise
    Modern office printers have evolved into fully networked, cloud-connected, computing devices with powerful processors and remote‑management capabilities. As a result, they have increasingly become prime targets for attackers. Printers often enjoy trusted access to enterprise networks and store sensitive documents, yet they remain overlooked in many security programs. Attackers attempt to exploit this gap to exploit printer firmware (e.g. with remote code execution), extract sensitive data from it, and use it as a segway into the organizational network.

    HP’s Industry-Leading Security Strategy
    HP provides the “world’s most secure printers”, embedding multiple layers of hardware- and firmware-level defenses. HP’s adoption of Karamba’s XGuard® runtime allow‑listing and Control Flow Integrity (CFI) technology forms a critical part of this architecture.
    “Security remains a top priority for HP as our customers face increasingly sophisticated adversaries,” said Shivaun Albright, Chief Technologist for Print Security at HP Inc. “Karamba Security’s XGuard software delivers reliable runtime protection, helping our customers safeguard their printers against a broad range of cyberattacks, such as file-based and file-less malware.”

    How XGuard Protects HP Printers
    Karamba’s patented XGuard® technology enforces binary-level allow-listing and Control Flow Integrity directly inside the printer firmware. It provides protection by:
    • Blocking unauthorized code execution through deterministic allow‑listing
    • Preventing memory‑manipulation attacks such as buffer overflows
    • Enforcing CFI to block ROP/JOP exploits
    • Preserving runtime integrity to prevent exploitations of zero‑day or known vulnerabilities

    A Six-Year Strategic Partnership
    Since 2020, Karamba and HP have collaborated to integrate XGuard across multiple generations of HP’s business-printer platforms to offer HP users unmatched security levels.
    “We are proud to partner with a formidable and global leader such as HP Print”, said David Barzilai, Co-Founder and CEO of Karamba Security. “This renewed agreement strengthens our long-term partnership with HP and reinforces the industry’s move toward uncompromising, simple to integrate – yet broadly defensive – product security”.
    “Our collaboration with Karamba Security has proven highly valuable”, continued Shivaun Albright. “XGuard software was seamlessly integrated into our printers, enabling HP to continue delivering the world’s most secure printers, as it has done for over a decade.”

    Rising Regulatory Pressures
    Global regulations increasingly mandate security-by-design for connected devices, including NISTIR 8259, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act. XGuard supports HP’s zero-trust initiatives and customers’ compliance objectives.

    About HP Inc.
    HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ) is a global technology leader redefining the Future of Work. Operating in more than 180 countries, HP delivers innovative and AI-powered devices, software, services and subscriptions that drive business growth and professional fulfillment.

  • 2025 Rental Car Claims Data Reveals Structural Risk: 58% of Damage Claims Not Caused by Renters

    2025 Rental Car Claims Data Reveals Structural Risk: 58% of Damage Claims Not Caused by Renters

    While awareness of rental car excess insurance is increasing, many travelers still underestimate how easily unexpected charges can occur.

    Renters believe that claims are rare or only happen after serious accidents. In reality, many claims stem from everyday situations that renters cannot fully control, yet result in substantial charges”
    — Gil Farkash

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CarInsuRent has released its 2025 Rental Car Insurance Claims Trends Report, analyzing 1,710 rental car damage claims submitted worldwide during 2025. The findings indicate a persistent structural issue within the rental car ecosystem: more than 58% of damage claims were not caused by the renter.

    The recent research by CarInsuRent, a leading provider of car hire excess insurance, closely mirrors CarInsuRent’s 2024 report, which showed that over 60% of claims were also not attributable to renter fault, reinforcing a persistent and systemic issue in the car rental ecosystem.

    Key Claims Insights:

    * Not at fault damage: more than 58% of damage claims were not caused by the renter.
    * Collisions: Major collisions and accidents represent 23% of claims, with an average repair cost of US$ 882
    * Wheel rim and tire damage: 14% of claims, with towing-related incidents reaching US$ 1,315
    * Windshield damage: 6% of claims, 99% not caused by driver negligence

    Renters Often Pay for Damage They Did Not Cause

    The report highlights that a significant share of claims involve pre-existing damage, third-party incidents, vandalism, or environmental factors, rather than driver error. “Our data challenges one of the most common assumptions in car rental,” said Gil Farkash, CarInsuRent CEO. “Most renters believe damage claims are rare or only happen after serious accidents. In reality, many claims stem from everyday situations that renters cannot fully control, yet still result in substantial charges.”

    According to the report, renters are frequently charged for:

    * Damage that occurred while the vehicle was parked
    * Pre-existing scratches or rim scuffs that were not properly documented
    * Windshield damage caused by road debris
    * Tire damage linked to road conditions or construction debris
    * Vandalism and break-ins

    Documentation and Process Gaps

    Poor damage documentation at vehicle pickup and return continues to be a major driver of disputes. In many cases, claims are raised after multiple subsequent rentals, increasing ambiguity and renter liability.

    “These findings raise important questions about documentation standards, damage verification processes, and automated inspection systems,” said Gil Farkash. “Many disputes stem from documentation gaps. Minor scratches or rim scuffs may not be clearly marked on the rental agreement, only to appear later as chargeable damage”.

    CarInsuRent advises travelers to:

    * Photograph the vehicle thoroughly at pickup and return
    * Request written confirmation of all existing damage
    * Keep all rental documents and return receipts

    CarInsuRent also recommends purchasing rental car insurance before collecting the car. It can save travellers a significant amount of money and relieve you from worrying about any potential damage during their trip.

  • Global Freight Tightens Ahead of Lunar New Year as Shippers Brace for Volatility Across Asia–U.S. Trade Lanes

    Global Freight Tightens Ahead of Lunar New Year as Shippers Brace for Volatility Across Asia–U.S. Trade Lanes

    Freight tightens ahead of Lunar New Year as air and intra-Asia capacity strains grow, while soft demand & compliance risks raise planning pressure for shippers

    The risk isn’t just higher costs. It’s misreading when capacity tightens, when it disappears, and when it suddenly comes back.”
    — Kathy Liu, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at Dimerco Express Group

    TAIPEI, TAIWAN, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Freight markets across Asia-Pacific are entering 2026 in a state of controlled tension, as pre-Lunar New Year shipping activity tightens air and ocean capacity while underlying demand signals remain fragile. New data from Dimerco Express Group’s February 2026 Asia-Pacific Freight Report shows that while seasonal front-loading is temporarily supporting volumes, shippers moving goods from Asia to the U.S. and Europe are facing a narrow planning window marked by rate volatility, operational risk, and growing trade compliance complexity.

    Global manufacturing ended 2025 with only marginal expansion, with the Global Manufacturing PMI hovering near 50.5, signaling cautious demand and subdued order growth heading into the first quarter of 2026. Against that backdrop, short-term freight demand in Northeast and Southeast Asia, driven significantly by high-tech cargo, is more influenced by calendar pressures than by structural recovery.

    Air Freight: Seasonal Tightness Masks Softer Demand
    ———————————————————————-
    Air cargo demand from Asia to the U.S. and Europe is easing overall, with e-commerce volumes continuing to slow after January. Spot rates on transpacific and Asia-Europe lanes are largely stable or under mild downward pressure. However, intra-Asia lanes are experiencing acute capacity constraints as the Lunar New Year approaches, particularly on routes connecting China with Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, India, and Thailand.

    Ocean Freight: Rates Hold as Carriers Defend the Floor
    ————————————————————————
    On the ocean side, carriers continue to hold the line on transpacific pricing despite soft cargo demand. Rate floors are being maintained through capacity discipline rather than demand strength, with nearly half of all global blank sailings concentrated on the Transpacific Eastbound trade lane. An unusually high share that underscores cautious carrier expectations.

    While Lunar New Year could offer temporary rate support, cargo volumes have yet to show a clear pre-holiday surge. The result is a market that remains vulnerable to sudden swings once factories shut and inventory digestion begins in February.

    Trade Policy and Compliance Risks Rise in 2026
    ————————————————————–
    Beyond capacity and pricing, shippers are facing an increasingly complex compliance environment. New Section 232 tariffs targeting certain semiconductor products introduce potential 25% duties tied to technical thresholds and end-use declarations, raising the stakes for accurate classification and documentation.

    At the same time, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will require all customs refunds to be processed electronically beginning February 6, 2026, a procedural shift that could disrupt cash flows for companies that are not prepared to enroll in ACH refund systems. Taken together, these changes signal that 2026 may be defined less by tariff uncertainty and more by enforcement risk.

    Making Sense of a Narrow Window
    ———————————————-
    In light of these conditions, logistics decision-making is shifting from chasing short-term rate relief to focusing on timing, compliance discipline, and network flexibility.

    “In this market, the risk isn’t just higher costs. It’s misreading when capacity tightens, when it disappears, and when it suddenly comes back,” said Kathy Liu, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Dimerco Express Group. “Shippers that treat Lunar New Year as a single event rather than a compressed cycle are more exposed to disruption.”

    Ted Chen, Director of Ocean Freight at Dimerco, added that carrier behavior is sending an important signal: “With more new vessels entering service in 2026, carriers are trying to avoid another rate war. That means capacity decisions, not demand alone, will shape outcomes on transpacific lanes.”

    About Dimerco
    ——————–
    Dimerco Express Group integrates air and ocean freight, trade compliance, and contract logistics services to make global supply chains more effective and efficient. The majority of the company’s global logistics projects connect Asia’s logistics and manufacturing hubs with each other, and with North America and Europe.

  • Child and Jackson Redesigns Website to Better Serve Sacramento Car Accident and Injury Victims

    Child and Jackson Redesigns Website to Better Serve Sacramento Car Accident and Injury Victims

    Child and Jackson launches a redesigned website with clear, victim-focused guidance to help Sacramento car accident injury victims understand their options.

    SACRAMENTO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Child and Jackson, a Sacramento-based Car Accident Law Firm with a primary focus on car accident cases, has announced the launch of a comprehensively redesigned website created to better support individuals and families navigating the aftermath of serious accidents and injuries. The new website reflects the firm’s commitment to clarity, accessibility, and client-centered guidance, providing accident victims with practical, easy-to-understand information at a time when they often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next.

    For many accident victims, the period immediately following a collision or injury is marked by physical pain, emotional stress, financial pressure, and unanswered questions. Medical appointments, insurance communications, vehicle repairs, and time away from work can quickly compound the difficulty of the situation. Legal information is often presented in complex or intimidating language, leaving individuals unsure of their rights or the steps they should take to protect themselves. The redesigned Child and Jackson website was developed specifically to address these challenges by prioritizing clarity, structure, and user experience.

    The new site uses plain language and a logical flow to guide visitors through the legal process associated with car accident and personal injury claims. Instead of dense blocks of text or legal jargon, information is organized into clearly defined sections that explain what typically happens after an accident, how claims progress over time, and what victims can expect at each stage. Timelines, step-by-step explanations, and straightforward answers to common questions are woven throughout the site to help users orient themselves quickly and confidently.

    “Our intention with this redesign was to create a resource that genuinely helps people at one of the most difficult moments of their lives,” said Erik E. Child, founder of Child and Jackson. “When someone has been injured in a car accident, they’re often dealing with fear, confusion, and pressure from multiple directions. We wanted our website to be a place where they can slow down, understand their options, and feel supported without being overwhelmed.”

    A key focus of the redesign is usability for individuals who may be accessing the site under stressful circumstances. The layout emphasizes readability across devices, ensuring that content is accessible whether someone is visiting from a desktop computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Navigation has been streamlined so that visitors can easily find information relevant to their situation, whether they are seeking guidance immediately after an accident or looking for answers weeks or months later.

    The website’s content reflects Child and Jackson’s primary focus on car accident cases, while also addressing a broad range of personal injury matters. Each practice area is presented with an emphasis on education rather than promotion, outlining general legal considerations, potential timelines, and common concerns associated with different types of injuries. This approach allows visitors to better understand their circumstances before deciding how to proceed.

    Another significant aspect of the redesign is its emphasis on transparency. Many accident victims hesitate to seek legal guidance because they are unsure of what the process involves or fear unexpected complications. The new website aims to reduce those concerns by clearly explaining how personal injury claims typically work, what information may be needed, and how legal representation can assist throughout the process. By setting realistic expectations and explaining procedures in advance, the firm seeks to empower visitors with knowledge rather than pressure them into immediate decisions.

    The redesigned website also reflects the firm’s belief that legal guidance should be approachable and human-centered. The tone throughout the site is intentionally empathetic, acknowledging the emotional and physical toll that accidents can take. Rather than presenting legal services in abstract terms, the content speaks directly to the experiences of injury victims, recognizing their concerns and emphasizing that they are not alone in navigating the aftermath of an accident.

    Child and Jackson’s approach to victim-focused design extends beyond written content. The structure of the site encourages visitors to move through information at their own pace, with clear pathways to additional details when needed. This allows individuals to engage with the material according to their comfort level, whether they want a high-level overview or a deeper explanation of specific legal topics.

    In addition to serving individuals who have recently been involved in accidents, the redesigned website is intended to function as an ongoing educational resource for the Sacramento community. Accidents and injuries can affect anyone, and understanding basic legal rights and responsibilities in advance can help individuals feel more prepared if the unexpected occurs. By offering accessible information in a clear format, the firm aims to contribute to greater public understanding of personal injury law and accident-related issues.

    The redesign also aligns with Child and Jackson’s broader commitment to client advocacy. The firm’s work is rooted in the belief that individuals who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence deserve clear information, respectful treatment, and thoughtful representation. The website serves as an extension of that philosophy, offering guidance that is designed to inform rather than intimidate.

    Throughout the redesign process, careful attention was given to ensuring that the site accurately reflects the firm’s values and approach to representation. Content was reviewed and structured to ensure consistency, accuracy, and relevance, with a focus on the needs of real people rather than abstract legal concepts. This process resulted in a site that not only looks modern and accessible but also functions as a meaningful resource for those seeking clarity during challenging times.

    The launch of the redesigned website represents an important milestone for Child and Jackson as the firm continues to evolve in response to the needs of the community it serves. While legal processes and technologies change over time, the firm’s commitment to supporting accident victims through clear communication and thoughtful guidance remains constant.

    “Our work doesn’t begin and end in the courtroom,” Erik E. Child added. “It starts with making sure people understand their situation and their options. This website is one more way we can provide that support, even before someone picks up the phone or schedules a consultation.”

    By focusing on plain language, structured guidance, and empathetic design, the new Child and Jackson website aims to reduce confusion and anxiety for accident victims while helping them make informed decisions about their next steps. The site is now live and available to the public, offering Sacramento residents a clear and approachable resource for navigating Sacramento car accident and personal injury cases.

    Under Director Hobbs’ leadership, NYSDRA has achieved a series of unprecedented accomplishments, including coordinating a statewide advocacy campaign with Community Dispute Resolution Center (CDRC) leadership and key stakeholders that secured a $3 million increase in state funding for New York ADR programs—the largest single-year funding increase in state history. This effort restored CDRC funding to above pre-COVID levels, with allocation increases of 30–40 percent for many centers.

    Director Hobbs has also expanded the value and reach of all NYSDRA contract programs, strengthened statewide service capacity, and led the organization through record financial performance alongside a comprehensive digital transformation. She established an elite Advisory Board chaired by Hon. Lawrence K. Marks, former Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System, further strengthening strategic leadership and statewide collaboration.

    Additional initiatives under Director Hobbs’ tenure include redesigning the AmeriCorps Community Mediation Service Corps to align with the statewide CDRC network and support capacity building through stipends for volunteer mediators; bringing together state partners and stakeholders to reimagine Special Education Mediation in New York; authoring the successful proposal for an expanded statewide contract; and assembling the team now leading the New York State Special Education Dispute Resolution Center (SEDRC).

    Director Hobbs also successfully negotiated with the New York State Attorney General’s Office to provide stipends to arbitrators in the NYS Lemon Law Arbitration Program, launched statewide digital marketing initiatives, and led NYSDRA’s 40th Anniversary Conference, honoring the founders who made New York the first state in the nation to establish community mediation.

    According to NAFCM, Director Hobbs was selected in recognition of her transformative, collaborative leadership and her measurable impact across New York State’s alternative dispute resolution (ADR) landscape, “building a regenerative ecosystem of justice, compassion, and community healing.”

  • Procede Software Accelerates Its AI-First Strategy with the Latest Procede Intelligence Enhancements

    Procede Software Accelerates Its AI-First Strategy with the Latest Procede Intelligence Enhancements

    New AI enhancements previewed at ATD 2026 will unlock efficiencies, safeguard data integrity, and continue to enhance decision-making across the Excede platform

    SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Procede Software, a preeminent provider of enterprise-level dealer management systems (DMS) and solutions for the commercial vehicle industry, today unveiled upcoming advancements to Procede Intelligence, set to expand its AI-driven capabilities across the Excede platform. Building on strong adoption and measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, this latest update reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering practical, integrated intelligence that simplifies daily work, improves data quality, and empowers users with faster, more intuitive access to the information they need. Additional details on these advancements and what comes next will be shared with the industry at the 2026 ATD Show, taking place on February 3 to 5, 2026, at the Wynn Las Vegas.

    “Procede Intelligence continues to evolve in ways that make AI both accessible and impactful for our customers,” said Larry Kettler, CEO & Chairman at Procede Software. “Embedding intelligence into the core Excede experience elevates how users engage with information and creates real efficiency gains across their daily workflows. It is another step in providing our customers with deeper clarity, enriched data, and more confidence in every decision they make.”

    Advancing Intelligence Across Excede
    Following the successful debut of the first wave of Procede Intelligence capabilities, this next phase of intelligent features brings together a collection of enhancements that continue to simplify operations, streamline workflows, and elevate decision-making across departments. Designed with a user-centered approach and shaped through feedback from Procede’s Insider and AI committees, the new capabilities blend industry-leading AI models with advanced data-driven logic developed internally by Procede.

    “The architecture for Procede Intelligence is built to deliver advanced AI capabilities while maintaining strict controls around data security and system integrity,” said Rob Stockfleth, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Procede Software. “Our customers can rely on the fact that their data is handled with care while still benefiting from faster insights and improved efficiency.”

    Advanced Procede Intelligence functionality to be introduced in this next phase includes a growing set of features, with the following highlights representing just a few of the capabilities now coming online:

    -Customer 360 View provides a unified, data-rich customer profile that gives dealership teams a clear, actionable view of customer health and value. By consolidating sales, service, parts, accounts receivable, and communication history, this feature summarizes key trends, spend behavior, and engagement patterns.

    -Duplicate Customer Cleanup proactively identifies and streamlines the review of duplicate customer records. This ensures cleaner data, more accurate reporting, and smoother downstream processes such as billing, accounts receivable, and customer communications.

    -Smart Filter Assist lets users describe what they are looking for in natural language, using AI to translate that intent into precise filters, helping teams reach the right data faster with less effort.

    As with all Procede Intelligence features, these enhancements are woven directly into Excede workflows, minimizing context switching and enabling employees to work more efficiently without taking on additional complexity. “By embedding intelligence directly into Excede, we’re delivering capabilities that help teams save time and increase profitability in their day-to-day operations,” said Lindsay Kramer, VP of Customer Experience & Strategy. “Procede Intelligence is the result of deep collaboration with our dealership insiders and AI committee, whose real-world input continues to shape a growing list of innovations. What we’re introducing now is just a snapshot of what’s coming next.”

    Early Results Driving Real Value
    The first release of Procede Intelligence generated immediate, substantial improvements for customers using the new intelligent workflows. Angelo Flores, Corporate Purchasing Manager at RWC Group, shared, “We have seen a clear impact from the Parts Cross-Sell feature. Single-line tickets dropped by about 25 percent, and our add-on sales are up between 5 and 10 percent, with some locations seeing closer to 20 percent. It has also been a huge help for newer employees because the system guides them through the upsell logic automatically, which keeps our approach consistent across the team.” These results demonstrate the value of Procede Intelligence as a practical tool that delivers time savings and operational improvements from day one.

    To learn more about how customers are leveraging Procede Intelligence, please visit Procede Software at the Connection Hub at the 2026 ATD Show from February 3 to 5, 2026, or contact sales@procedesoftware.com and watch the video series.
