On April 22, 2026, the association ACUTELAN filed a formal request with the CNMC (National Markets and Competition Commission) to investigate the operator DIGI for alleged predatory pricing practices. The complaint alleges that certain offers within the "Fibra Smart" range (especially the 500 Mbps and 750 Mbps plans) are priced at levels that are not replicable by an equally efficient operator, thus jeopardizing the sustainability and competition of the telecommunications sector in Spain.

Vector Photonics, the Scottish startup leading the way in using photonic crystal surface emission lasers (PCSELs) for secure communications, has announced the first successful public demonstration of PCSEL technology for optical communication outside of a laboratory.

Commvault has announced an expansion of its data security and AI capabilities within Commvault Cloud, thanks to its recent acquisition of Satori. These enhancements extend data discovery, classification, and risk assessment to structured data environments and introduce real-time access governance for structured databases, including vector databases used in AI applications.

These innovations extend Commvault's existing data security posture management (DSPM) functionality for unstructured data, while data access governance adds real-time control over access to structured data.

These enhancements also unify visibility by identifying sensitive data, detecting exposures and policy violations, and consolidating risk information to help organizations prioritize remediation based on impact. This translates into greater resilience, prioritized risk remediation, support for regulatory compliance, and reduced data exposure, strengthening resilience for both production and backup data.

Given the evolving nature of threats, sensitive or regulated data remains a prime target for cyberattacks. In fact, 90% of organizations have exposed sensitive data that can be detected by AI, while another study reveals that 46% of all security breaches involve customers' personally identifiable information (PII), and 40% involve employee PII. Without robust detection, classification, and access controls, this sensitive data can be stolen by malicious actors, increasing the risk of security breaches and non-compliance with privacy regulations, and complicating recovery efforts. The Commvault Cloud platform offers comprehensive data detection, classification, and policy enforcement capabilities across hybrid and multicloud environments, for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.

The new improvements include:

• AI-powered classification features: Automatically identifies and classifies sensitive data across the enterprise, highlighting environments with high concentrations of sensitive data, excessive access, or data that has been retained longer than intended.

• Data access governance: monitors and controls how structured data is accessed and used, helping to reduce the risk of data leakage, including through AI models or generative AI outputs.

• Greater resilience through Commvault Cloud: Unifying data visibility and access controls directly into cyber resilience and cyber recovery workflows enables organizations to reduce data risk before an incident occurs and recover more effectively afterward.

“As organizations expand into cloud- and AI-driven environments, sensitive data is increasingly distributed across structured and unstructured systems,” says Yoav Cohen, Vice President of Product Management at Commvault and co-founder of Satori. “Without clear visibility and real-time access controls, that data can become overexposed and difficult to manage. By extending discovery and governance to structured data environments, we help organizations reduce unnecessary exposure and strengthen resilience across both active and backup data.”.

“As companies rush to scale AI, data governance is emerging as a critical gap. Legacy data security tools were not designed for environments where AI models can inadvertently expose sensitive information hidden in vector databases and cloud data warehouses,” emphasizes Jennifer Glenn, research director for Data and Information Security at IDC.

“Unifying the convergence of data security posture management and cyber resilience equips CISOs and CIOs with the tools they need to manage AI-driven risk across their growing AI footprint.” Availability: Data access governance capabilities, focused on real-time control of access to structured data, are available now through Commvault Cloud single sign-on. They are also available as an add-on to any Commvault Cloud package. Structured data discovery and classification capabilities within Commvault Cloud are planned for general availability in late summer 2026. These capabilities extend Commvault’s DSPM functionality to unstructured data, which is already available as part of the Commvault Cloud Platinum package or as add-ons at other tiers. Pricing details for the structured data capabilities will be announced closer to the general availability date.

Vertiv has announced its key role in advancing converged physical infrastructure designs for the reference design of "AI factories" based on NVIDIA's Vera Rubin DSX platform and the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint.
