Sponsored by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the authorization streamlines procurement for agencies requiring mission-critical connectivity

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dejero, a leader in intelligent connectivity solutions, today announced that its cloud-based management and connectivity platform, Dejero Control and Concentrator, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMPⓇ) Moderate authorization. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), served as the sponsoring agency, validating Dejero’s commitment to the rigorous security standards required for federal government operations.

FedRAMP Moderate authorization signifies that Dejero Control and Concentrator has undergone a comprehensive security assessment and meets the requirements outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-53 for protecting sensitive government information. This milestone enables federal agencies to deploy Dejero’s connectivity management capabilities while maintaining compliance with federal cybersecurity mandates.

Dejero Control is a cloud-based management system that provides centralized visibility and control over Dejero equipment deployments. The Concentrator works in conjunction with Control as the gateway infrastructure that aggregates network connections to deliver reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity. Together, the platform enables administrators to remotely configure devices, monitor network performance in real time, manage bandwidth allocation, and ensure operational continuity across distributed field teams.

“Achieving FedRAMP Moderate authorization validates our long-standing commitment to security and our dedication to serving the federal government’s mission-critical communications needs,” said Bogdan Frusina, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Dejero. “This authorization removes barriers for federal agencies seeking industry-leading connectivity solutions while meeting their compliance requirements.”

Key benefits of Dejero Control’s FedRAMP Moderate authorization include:
– Streamlined Procurement: Federal agencies can adopt Dejero Control with confidence, using FedRAMP’s standardized security assessment to accelerate procurement timelines.
– Enhanced Security: Continuous monitoring and compliance with over 300 security controls ensure ongoing protection of federal information.
– Mission-Critical Readiness: Combined with FirstNet^® and Verizon Frontline, Dejero delivers comprehensive connectivity solutions engineered for public safety and government operations.
– Reusable Authorization: Any federal agency can adopt this authorization package, eliminating duplicative security assessments and reducing time to deployment.

“For agencies operating in the most challenging environments, connectivity isn’t just a utility; it’s a lifeline,” said Jehan Karim, Global Director of Business Development at Dejero, who has overseen the company’s expansion within the federal portfolio. “This authorization represents a pivotal step in our mission to provide federal partners with the resilient, secure, and always-on communication infrastructure for national security and public safety.”

The FedRAMP authorization complements the recently announced Dejero TITAN product family, a comprehensive portfolio of mission-critical connectivity solutions launching in 2026. TITAN Command, the flagship of the family, features three independent modems with integrated antennas. It will leverage Dejero Control for centralized management. As Dejero continues to expand its federal portfolio, the combination gives agencies the ability to deploy and manage their most demanding connectivity operations from a single, secure platform.

Dejero Control and Concentrator is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace and available for federal agency deployment. For more information, visit dejero.com/fedramp.

The publishing platform gives authors business intelligence alongside a writing studio, social scheduling, and email marketing — with every AI feature optional.

SPARKS, NV, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — StorytellerOS, a publishing platform designed specifically for independent authors, has entered private beta with a feature set that prioritizes something most author tools ignore entirely: business intelligence.

Most tools available to indie authors solve one problem at a time. A writing app handles the manuscript. A social media scheduler handles posting. An email service handles the newsletter. A spreadsheet — or more often, a guess — handles the question of whether any of it is actually working. StorytellerOS was built to close that gap.

The platform combines a writing studio, social media scheduling across multiple channels, AI image generation, and email marketing into a single workspace. But the business intelligence layer is what distinguishes it from a bundle of creative tools sharing a login. Authors get visibility into how their content performs across channels, which marketing activities correlate with actual sales, and where their time and budget are going — data that most indie authors currently reconstruct from a half-dozen dashboards and a lot of guesswork.

“I built StorytellerOS because I was living the problem,” said Chelle Honiker, the platform’s creator and a veteran of the indie publishing industry. Honiker publishes Indie Author Magazine, runs Indie Author Training, and writes the Author Automations newsletter — which means she was personally managing the exact patchwork of disconnected tools that StorytellerOS replaces. “I got tired of logging into ten different apps that don’t talk to each other and trying to piece together whether my marketing was actually doing anything. The business intelligence piece is what’s been missing from every author tool I’ve tried.”

The AI-optional approach is a deliberate design choice. Every AI-powered feature — content generation, image creation, marketing copy assistance — can be disabled entirely at the user level. Authors who want AI assistance can use it. Authors who don’t can turn it off and still have a fully functional platform. The decision reflects Honiker’s broader philosophy, articulated frequently in her Author Automations newsletter: AI should be a tool authors choose to use, not a dependency they’re forced into.

For authors currently paying separate subscriptions for an email service, a social scheduler, a design tool, and a writing app, StorytellerOS consolidates those costs into a single subscription. A direct integration with Shopify provides a connected path from content creation to commerce for authors selling direct to readers.

StorytellerOS is currently accepting private beta users at storytelleros.com.

New insights reveal why personalized pet accessories and dog bandanas are becoming top-selling ecommerce products in the rapidly growing U.S. pet market

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The U.S. pet industry continues to surge, creating new opportunities for ecommerce sellers ready to tap into one of the most emotional and loyal consumer segments: dog parents. With Americans spending more than $147 billion on pets in 2023, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), demand for unique dog gifts, stylish pet accessories, and personalized items continues to rise.

Printify, the leading print-on-demand platform, is helping ecommerce entrepreneurs capitalize on this trend with customizable products and a growing catalog designed for pet lovers. From apparel to home goods, sellers can create personalized merchandise that celebrates the bond between dogs and their owners while avoiding inventory costs.

“Pet owners love products that feel personal to their relationship with their dog,” said Davis Sarmins, Director of Growth Marketing at Printify. “Print-on-demand gives ecommerce sellers the freedom to design creative dog gifts and test new ideas quickly, without the risk of holding stock.”

The growing market for dog gifts

The United States is home to more than 65 million households with dogs, and spending continues to grow across categories including treats, toys, grooming products, and accessories. Pet parents are increasingly looking for thoughtful gift ideas that combine comfort, fun, and function for their pups.
Today’s dog gifts go far beyond traditional toys. Popular options include orthopedic beds for lounging, interactive puzzle toys for brain-stimulating play, GPS trackers for adventurous dogs, and enrichment tools like snuffle mats designed to encourage natural sniffing behavior.

For ecommerce sellers, this shift represents a massive opportunity to create themed collections around pet lifestyles and everyday moments.

Personalized pet accessories lead ecommerce trends

Customizable pet accessories are among the fastest-growing product segments in the pet gifting market. Personalized collars, feeding mats, and dog-themed apparel allow sellers to create emotionally resonant products that customers love to share online.

Printify’s print-on-demand model enables merchants to design these items without upfront investment. Sellers can create custom graphics, upload artwork, or use the platform’s design tools to personalize products for dog lovers.

A recent U.S.-based ecommerce merchant using Printify launched a niche store focused on dog-themed lifestyle products. Within six months, the store expanded from basic pet-themed t-shirts into a broader collection that included mugs, tote bags, and custom blankets featuring dog-inspired designs.

The merchant reported that personalized pet products quickly became their best-performing category, with repeat purchases driven by customers buying gifts for fellow dog parents.

Why dog bandanas are a breakout product

Among the most popular customizable items are dog bandanas, which combine affordability, style, and high shareability on social media.

Dog parents frequently purchase seasonal or themed bandanas for holidays, birthdays, and everyday walks, making them an ideal entry-level product for ecommerce stores focused on pet niches.

Printify allows sellers to design dog bandanas with playful patterns, names, or slogans. These lightweight products are easy to ship, visually engaging for online storefronts, and highly giftable.

How ecommerce sellers can launch dog gift products

Printify’s platform makes it simple for entrepreneurs to design and sell custom dog gifts without managing inventory or logistics. Sellers can browse the Printify Catalog, choose from a wide range of products, and customize them using built-in design tools.

The process starts with selecting a product from Printify’s pet category, which includes items like collars, feeding mats, and dog-themed merchandise for pet parents. Sellers can then create unique designs using the platform’s Product Creator, which features an AI image generator, pattern builder, and a library of pet-inspired graphics.

Once the design is ready, sellers can either order products for personal use or connect Printify directly to their ecommerce store. When a customer places an order, Printify handles production and shipping through its global network of Print Partners.

Building a pet-focused ecommerce brand

The popularity of dogs in American households means the emotional connection between pets and their owners continues to drive purchasing decisions. Gift guides featuring everything from durable chew toys and enrichment mats to custom apparel and keepsakes resonate strongly with consumers shopping for their pets.

For ecommerce sellers, building collections around dog lifestyles—such as outdoor adventures, cozy home comforts, or playful accessories—can help stores stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

With the ability to design personalized merchandise, test product ideas quickly, and expand collections without inventory risk, Printify is enabling sellers to turn their creativity into profitable pet-focused businesses.

About Printify
Printify is a leading print-on-demand platform that connects ecommerce merchants with a global network of Print Partners. With the industry’s largest Catalog, free design tools, and seamless integrations with major ecommerce platforms, Printify enables sellers to create and scale custom product businesses without upfront costs or inventory.

The report examines how founders’ AI decisions are influencing valuation, durability, and exit timing.

ENCINITAS, CA, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Software Equity Group (SEG), an M&A sell-side advisory firm specializing in software, SaaS, and AI transactions, has released “The AI Reset: How SaaS Founders Can Reinvent, Defend, or Exit Stronger,” a new report examining how founders’ AI decisions are influencing valuation, durability, and exit timing.

The report is anchored by SEG’s inaugural AI in SaaS Survey, which gathered insights from CEOs and founders, as well as private equity and strategic buyers. The findings reveal AI readiness is beginning to influence how buyers evaluate software companies. Expectations around AI capability may be evolving faster than many leaders anticipate.

Nearly 40% of CEOs surveyed said they are considering accelerating an exit due to AI-driven uncertainty, suggesting AI is already influencing how founders think about timing, reinvestment, and long-term positioning.

The report frames AI as a core product and operating model shift: intelligence embedded into products and workflows that improves outcomes, expands margins, and enables scalable operations.

Key Takeaways

• AI readiness is already influencing valuation outcomes: 80% of strategic and private equity buyers report paying a premium today for companies with AI deeply integrated into core workflows, and 87% expect that premium to increase over the next year. For founders, this is a sign that AI capability is quickly becoming a valuation driver rather than a future differentiator.

• Buyers and founders are evaluating AI risk very differently: While 80% of buyers view AI-driven commoditization as the primary threat to SaaS businesses, only about a quarter of SaaS CEOs identify it as their biggest concern. This perception gap suggests that many founders may underestimate how quickly AI could erode product differentiation in competitive markets.

• Belief in AI is widespread, but execution remains uneven: Two-thirds of SaaS CEOs say AI is critical to future competitiveness, yet buyers report seeing limited meaningful AI adoption in most companies they evaluate today. For founders, the gap between intention and implementation may influence deal outcomes and buyer confidence.

• Buyer expectations for AI capability are rising quickly: While two-thirds of SaaS CEOs say AI is essential to competitiveness, buyers report seeing only limited meaningful AI adoption in many companies they evaluate today. At the same time, 61% expect acquisition targets to be meaningfully AI-driven within the next year, suggesting expectations may be evolving faster than many companies are currently prepared for.

“Our research points to a growing execution gap,” said Paul Lachance, Chief Industry Strategist at Software Equity Group. “Belief in AI is now nearly universal, but readiness is not. Buyers are evaluating AI as an operating and product capability, not a feature, and they’re rewarding companies that can prove measurable impact while discounting those that can’t.”

Drawing on survey data, transaction experience, and parallels from past platform shifts, The AI Reset outlines three strategic paths SaaS leaders must choose between:

• Reinvent: Modernize product architecture and workflows
• Enhance: Embed AI into operations to improve retention, efficiency, and valuation multiples
• Exit: Capitalize on current buyer appetite before competitive dynamics reset pricing

Why SEG Published This Report
“The AI Reset” is designed to help SaaS founders understand how AI is reshaping buyer expectations, valuation criteria, and competitive dynamics. It also looks at how those shifts are already influencing strategic decisions around reinvestment, differentiation, and exit timing.

“Every major software era has had a reset moment,” said Lachance. “AI is different because it’s moving faster and collapsing barriers to entry. That speed is reshaping competitive dynamics across SaaS, forcing founders to reassess where their products truly differentiate and how defensible that differentiation will be in an AI-driven market.”

About the AI in SaaS Survey
SEG’s AI in SaaS Survey was conducted in Q4 2025 and included responses from SaaS CEOs and founders across companies ranging from under $5M to $100M ARR, as well as private equity and strategic software buyers. The survey explored AI adoption, perceived risks, valuation impact, and how buyer expectations are evolving.

Python.com is now available for acquisition via Saw.com—a rare, single-word .COM offering global recognition, authority, and strategic brand power.

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A rare Python has surfaced in Florida and this time, it’s not in the Everglades. It is Python.com, represented by Saw.com, and it is now officially available for acquisition.

An Apex Name With Historic Bite
Some domains don’t need an introduction. They already own mindshare. “Python.com” is one of them. Short. Global. Across history and industry, serpents have symbolized dominance, resilience, and authority. Species like Viper, Boa, and Cobra have long been adopted by performance cars, elite military units, fashion houses, and global brands seeking to project power and edge. “Python” stands among the most commanding of them all. Short. Unmistakable. Globally recognized.

It requires no phonetic clarification. No spelling corrections. No brand education curve. In an era where attention spans hover around eight seconds, memorability is leverage, and leverage wins markets.

Scarcity in a 360+ Million Domain World
There are 360M+ registered domains worldwide. True single-word, exact-match .COM category names are nearly extinct. Assets of this caliber rarely re-enter the market.

Independent marketing data continues to show that short, authoritative .COM domains outperform longer or modified alternatives in both trust perception and click-through performance. Clarity consistently beats complexity.

Python.com represents:
-Immediate global recognition
-Built-in authority
-Direct navigation potential
-Structural brand defensibility
-Long-term strategic scarcity

From Ecosystem to Icon: Strength in Symbolism
Across culture and commerce, python has long signaled strength and edge from high fashion to performance branding. In luxury design, python skin conveys texture, rarity, and unmistakable presence, embraced by artisans and modern designers alike as a mark of distinction and elevated taste.
In Florida, pythons are known as a formidable, adaptive, and dominant invasive species. Even python leather has undergone a perceptual shift: once feared as a wild predator, it is now widely accepted and even encouraged within fashion as a refined expression of power shaped into craftsmanship.
In branding, the parallel is unmistakable. Powerful words become powerful signals. Short domain names project authority. Rare names create leverage. Category-defining words establish dominance. Don’t let Python.com slither away.

About Saw.com
Saw.com has facilitated more than $570 million in premium domain transactions, representing category-defining digital assets across technology, venture capital, enterprise, and global markets. The firm specializes in high-value .COM acquisitions and strategic digital asset advisory.

COLDCARD’s on-device Spending Policies offer a distinct hardware-enforced approach to transaction controls, addressing a gap in competitor offerings.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A comprehensive market research comparison of leading hardware wallets examines the evolving landscape of user-configurable security controls. The analysis highlights Coinkite’s COLDCARD and its implementation of Spending Policies as a notable feature in the self-custody security landscape, addressing a growing demand for more granular control over digital assets.

As the value of self-custodied assets continues to rise, users are seeking security measures that extend beyond simple private key protection. The analysis notes that while many hardware wallets focus primarily on securing the seed phrase or private key from external extraction, COLDCARD provides users with on-device Spending Policies. These policies are designed to enforce user-defined rules directly at the hardware level, creating an additional layer of protection against both external attacks and internal user error.

Key Finding: COLDCARD Implements On-Device Spending Policies
The analysis identifies that COLDCARD integrates Spending Policies directly into its secure firmware, allowing users to set specific parameters for their transactions. These policies are enforced by the device itself, independent of any host computer or connected software. The key policy types include:

Absolute Spend Limits: Users can define a maximum value for transactions within a set period, such as 0.1 BTC in 24 hours. Any transaction initiated that exceeds this configured limit is automatically rejected by the COLDCARD device, requiring no additional software or intervention.

Time-Locked Policies: These policies create a mandatory waiting period between large transactions. This acts as a “cooling-off” mechanism, creating a robust defense against rapid, unauthorized transfers, which can be critical in cases of device theft or coercion.

Whitelist-Only Spending: This feature restricts transactions to a pre-approved list of destination addresses. By preventing funds from being sent to unknown or potentially malicious recipients, it significantly mitigates the risk of funds being drained to an attacker’s address.

2FA Authentication: For an additional layer of security, this policy requires a confirmation from a mobile 2FA application (like Google Authenticator) on an NFC-enabled phone with Internet access, adding a second factor of authentication before a large transaction can be signed.
Market Comparison: Competing Approaches to Spending Controls

The research indicates a significant difference in security philosophy among hardware wallet manufacturers. Competing devices, including popular models from Ledger and Trezor, do not currently offer native, on-device enforcement of user-defined spending limits. Their security models are primarily centered on protecting the private key itself, with fewer hardware-enforced rules governing the use of those keys.

While some competitors may allow for the creation of multi-signature setups or rely on third-party software to implement spending rules, these solutions often introduce complexity, require additional trusted devices, or fail to provide the same level of hardware-enforced, non-circumventable protection. Multi-signature, for example, requires coordinating multiple devices and can be overkill for a single user seeking simple spending limits. The analysis suggests this leaves a gap in the market for users seeking a simple, self-contained solution for governing their spending habits directly on their primary hardware device.

The analysis also points out that software-based solutions, such as those running on a desktop or mobile wallet, are vulnerable to malware or a compromised host computer, which could potentially override or ignore the intended spending limits. By enforcing these policies within the secure element of the hardware wallet itself, COLDCARD’s approach aims to create rules that cannot be bypassed by a compromised computer, ensuring the user’s intent is honored even if the surrounding technology is not.

MOEGLINGEN, GERMANY, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As part of the research project FENI-X, USU is contributing its AI expertise in the field of IT and service management as an industry partner. The aim of the project is to strengthen the resilience of global production networks through the targeted use of artificial intelligence and to make manufacturing companies more resistant to disruptions and uncertainties. FENI-X is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The initiator is the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the project is managed by the Project Administration Karlsruhe (PTKA).

New Methodology for Increasing Resilience

The FENI-X methodology is based on a modular resilience framework. This framework defines resilience metrics, evaluates the status quo of companies and derives measures to strengthen their resilience. The measures are tested in four use cases that cover different planning levels and examine specific resilience-enhancing mechanisms. USU is actively involved in two of these use cases, contributing its expertise as well as its software solutions in the areas of orchestrating complex IT landscapes and risk management using digital workflows. Finally, the scientific findings and best practices will be made available to a broad industrial and academic audience.

Strong Positioning of USU in the Project Consortium

As an industry partner, USU is well positioned within the project thanks to its AI expertise and is contributing a clear exploitation plan to ensure that the project results can be transferred into market-ready solutions in the future.

“Through FENI-X, we combine modern AI methods with our proven expertise in IT and service management. Our goal is for IT systems in the future to provide concrete recommendations for actions that go beyond traditional anomaly detection and associated warning signals. To achieve this, our software solutions collect machine data, analyze it and identify deviations or errors. Subsequently, recommendations for action are generated using a decision model based on generative AI. In practice, for example, if a production machine stops due to an error, the LLM compares the information with the knowledge database to determine the type of error and evaluates possible courses of action—such as whether replacing the machine is necessary or whether process adjustments are sufficient. Machine operators and responsible staff therefore receive a solution proposal and are actively supported in resolving the issue. This sustainably strengthens the resilience of industrial systems,” explains Henrik Oppermann, Director Research at USU.

Current Project Status and Initial Results

The FENI-X research project is scheduled to run for a total of around three years, of which nearly one year has already been successfully completed. The consortium is currently engaged in detailed project planning and developing the concepts and measures to be investigated in the use cases. USU has implemented its first technical prototype, which will now be specifically expanded in the second project year to include algorithms for anomaly detection as well as a decision-making model.
