In a strategic move aligned with Finland’s historic defense spending surge, Mattermost has introduced its Intelligent Mission Environment- a secure, sovereign collaboration platform tailored to the needs of Finland’s defence, intelligence, and critical infrastructure (DISC) sectors.

As Finland accelerates its defense modernization strategy, the government plans to raise spending to 3% of GDP by 2029, including an additional €3.7 billion over the next four years - targeting bolstered cyber resilience, AI integration, and NATO interoperability.

  • AI and Agentic Integration: Enables secure connections with both sovereign and commercial large language models (LLMs), agent orchestration frameworks, and AI interfaces - ensuring compliance with national governance while advancing AI-driven workflows.
  • Open Integration and Extensibility: Employs plugin-based architecture and workflows compatible with tools like GitLab, Jira, and ServiceNow, permitting incremental modernization and alignment with EU and NATO standards.
  • Cyber-Resilient, Sovereign Deployment: Built for operation in challenging environments - including air-gapped and DDIL (Disconnected, Degraded, Intermittent, Low-bandwidth) settings - both on sovereign cloud and classified infrastructure. Scales to support over 200,000 concurrent users, powered by Kubernetes orchestration and mission-grade security.

A Building Block for Finland’s National Security

As Finland deepens its integration into NATO and continues its modernization of defense infrastructure, the Intelligent Mission Environment offers a vital sovereign, cyber-resilient foundation for ensuring mission continuity and strategic digital advantage.

Tenable Named a Leader in Unified Vulnerability Management Solutions

Tenable, the exposure management company, has been named a Leader in the latest Forrester Wave, Unified Vulnerability Management, Q3 2025. The company ranked highest among all evaluated vendors in the Strategy category and earned the top score (5.0) in seven critical criteria, including Vision and Roadmap.

Forrester Evaluation Highlights

  • Vision and Roadmap: Tenable earned a perfect score, recognized for its market momentum and forward-looking strategy. Forrester noted that "Tenable continues to extend its established vulnerability management offerings into exposure management with its Tenable One platform." :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • Breadth of Assets Supported: Acknowledged for delivering unmatched visibility across IT, cloud, OT, identity, and more - via both native discovery and seamless third-party data ingestion. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  • Exposure Assessment & Prioritization: Recognized for its holistic and contextual risk perspective, built on threat impact and attack-path modeling across diverse environments. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  • Reporting: Lauded for ready-for-presentation reports that include trending data and benchmarking. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  • Benchmarking: Provides customizable peer-to-peer analyses across industries and geographies, delivering relevant organizational insights. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

What Is Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM)?

Forrester defines Unified Vulnerability Management as "a solution that serves as the primary book of record for all organizational vulnerabilities and improves and facilitates remediation workflows." :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Why Tenable Stands Out

Tenable’s recognition as a Leader reflects its strategic evolution from traditional vulnerability scanning toward comprehensive exposure management. The Tenable One platform empowers organizations with unified visibility, risk-based prioritization, and proactive remediation - providing clarity and confidence to reduce risk faster and more effectively. As Tenable’s Chief Product Officer, Eric Doerr, said: "Unified vulnerability management is the essential first step toward effective exposure management" :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

TeamViewer Launches Intelligence: AI-Powered Upgrade to Remote Support

TeamViewer has introduced TeamViewer Intelligence, a powerful AI-driven solution now integrated into the TeamViewer Platform. This new functionality is designed to enhance IT support workflows by analyzing remote session data, identifying trends, and offering actionable insights that improve operational efficiency.

Key Features

  • Automated session summaries: Reduces manual effort by automatically generating documentation from support sessions.
  • Training insights: Highlights training needs for IT teams based on AI analysis of user interactions.
  • Faster issue resolution: Helps technicians identify and apply the right fix more quickly using session data.
  • SLA compliance: Supports service-level obligations with AI-backed metrics and reports.

Security remains a central focus - TeamViewer Intelligence employs modern encryption protocols and hardware security modules (HSMs) to ensure all data is protected according to industry-leading standards.

TeamViewer Intelligence is available across several license tiers, including Business, Premium, Corporate, and Tensor. Existing customers using the Session Insights add-on will automatically receive an upgrade to TeamViewer Intelligence. This upgrade includes enhanced functionality and a yearly quota of AI credits, providing users with greater flexibility in how and when they leverage AI features.

AI credits are used for actions like generating session summaries or interacting with TeamViewer CoPilot. The system is designed to be flexible: customers who activate add-ons partway through their license period still receive the full set of AI credits, while only being charged proportionally for the remaining term. This credit structure also applies to licenses sold prior to the launch, making the upgrade beneficial for both new and existing users.

Partners and users can find detailed product documentation, feature guides, and enablement materials through TeamViewer’s Partner Portal and Knowledge Base. Helpful articles include:
