German Firms Seek Cybersecurity Partners for Resilience

German Firms Seek Cybersecurity Partners for Resilience

Talent shortages, regulation and emerging risks boost demand for managed security services and AI-assisted security operations, ISG Provider Lens® report says

Report includes coverage of services focused on emerging danger of quantum computers breaking data encryption

FRANKFURT, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Enterprises in Germany are increasingly turning to external cybersecurity providers for specialized expertise, continuous threat protection and compliance support, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2026 ISG Provider Lens® Cybersecurity — Services and Solutions report for Germany finds that enterprises are reassessing cybersecurity strategies and strengthening cybersecurity capabilities amid geopolitical uncertainty, economic pressures and rising regulatory demands. For the first time, the report examines consulting services helping enterprises prepare for the threat that quantum computing poses against existing data encryption methods.

“German enterprises are taking a more strategic approach to cybersecurity as security requirements continue to evolve,” said Matthias Paletta, account director at ISG. “Organizations are looking beyond immediate protection to build resilience that can support long-term business priorities.”

Companies are expanding the use of managed security services as cyber threats become more sophisticated and skilled cybersecurity professionals remain difficult to recruit. Demand for such services is expanding beyond large enterprises. A growing number of midsize companies and public-sector organizations are seeking cost-effective, modular services that enable them to focus on their core operations. There is also an increasing preference for security operations centers located in Germany or the European Union to meet data protection and digital sovereignty expectations.

Organizations in Germany are also preparing for a new generation of security dangers. Attacks using quantum computing may threaten data-dependent enterprises, especially in banking, insurance and industrial research, even before the technology becomes commercially available later in this decade. A growing number of firms are turning to consulting services to analyze the risks posed by quantum computers that could overpower current encryption methods. To defend against increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks, companies are adopting AI-assisted monitoring, automation and continuous threat protection, ISG says.

“Due to cybercriminals’ ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ approach, sensitive data is already at risk from quantum computing,” said Frank Heuer, ISG principal analyst and lead author of the report. “Forward-thinking cybersecurity service providers are adapting to the diverse needs of large corporate clients and the evolving mass market by differentiating their offerings.”

The report also explores other trends affecting Germany’s cybersecurity market, including greater automation of data leakage and loss prevention solutions and the growing role of threat intelligence.

For more insights into cybersecurity-related challenges faced by enterprises in Germany, plus ISG’s advice for overcoming them, see the ISG Provider Lens Focal Points briefing here.

Genenta-backed Sòphia High Tech Brings Aerospace Precision Inside a Nuclear Fusion Reactor with ROMAN, a Robotic Arm

Sòphia High Tech designs and manufactures ROMAN units for the remote inspection and maintenance of the RFX-mod2 fusion experiment, combining its precision manufacturing capabilities with the robotics expertise of University of Naples Federico II and Herobots, extending the group’s precision-engineering capabilities into the nuclear domain

MILAN and NAPLES, Italy, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sòphia High Tech S.r.l. (Sòphia HT), an Italian aerospace and defense company manufacturing critical parts for Europe’s space and defense programs, backed by Genenta Science S.p.A. (Nasdaq: GNTA) — evolving into Saentra Forge¹, a strategic industrial consolidator focused on aerospace, defense, biotech and Italian national-security-related technologies — today announced the unveiling of ROMAN, a robotic arm engineered to perform inspection and maintenance operations inside a nuclear fusion machine. Sòphia HT and its partners Department of Industrial Engineering (DII) and Herobots designed, developed, produced, assembled, tested and integrated the manipulator ROMAN units for two facilities: the DII of the University Federico II and to Consorzio RFX2.

ROMAN demonstrates Sòphia HT’s ability to engineer systems for environments where humans cannot operate and failure is not an option. Designed for RFX-mod2, a nuclear fusion research machine in which plasma can reach approximately 20 million °C, ROMAN remotely inspects and maintains the machine’s innermost wall. Its custom-built tool can identify, remove and reinstall individual graphite tiles, as well as perform visual inspection and cleaning operations.

ROMAN is the result of a close collaboration between Sòphia HT, Herobots – a technology partner specialized in robotics and automation for safety-critical applications – the DII and Consorzio RFX. Within the project, Sòphia HT led the development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and integration of the ROMAN manipulators, working closely with all partners throughout the definition, validation, and refinement of the solution. The partners worked closely throughout the definition, validation, and refinement of the solution.

The project extends Sòphia HT’s proven precision-engineering capabilities—from critical components for rockets, satellites and defense systems—into nuclear technology and energy infrastructure, while leveraging the robotics expertise for hazardous and challenging environments of the DII and Herobots team. This provides Sòphia HT with a new strong reference capability for future applications in another highly regulated, mission-critical market and supports Genenta’s strategy of building an industrial platform across sectors central to national technological sovereignty.



Delivering with our partners ROMAN took Sòphia HT into the nuclear domain for the first time, and our team met that challenge with the same rigor we apply to space-flight hardware.

Developing a manipulator that can operate safely and repeatably inside RFX-mod2 required custom mechanics, a purpose-built end-effector and extensive qualification. It is a proud milestone for our engineers and PhDs, and, together with Genenta, it opens a new avenue of growth for the company,” said

Domenico Borrelli, CTO of Sòphia HT.



ROMAN is exactly the kind of capability that makes Sòphia HT irreplaceable. The same mastery of precision mechanics that lets this company 3D-print flight-ready space hardware now allows it to manufacture the mechanical systems of advanced robotic platforms operating where no human can go — inside a nuclear fusion machine.

It is a powerful demonstration of how deep-tech know-how developed for space and defense translates directly into the technologies that will underpin energy independence. This is the model we are building: keeping critical industrial know-how in Italy, and letting it compound across the sectors that define national economic security,” said

Pierluigi Paracchi, CEO of Genenta.

1 The name change from Genenta Science S.p.A. to Saentra Forge S.p.A. is subject to shareholder approval.

AkzoNobel and Axalta enhance governance arrangements following shareholder dialogue

AMSTERDAM and PHILADELPHIA, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Akzo Nobel N.V. (“AkzoNobel”) and Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“Axalta”) today announced enhancements to the proposed governance arrangements for the combined company following completion of their pending merger of equals.

Since announcing the proposed all-share merger of equals and convening of the AkzoNobel EGM and Axalta SGM, AkzoNobel and Axalta have engaged extensively with shareholders and other stakeholders on the governance of the combined company. That dialogue has led to the following refinements:

  • Annual re-election of all Directors following the initial three-year period after completion (previously contemplated following a five-year period after completion); and
  • Approval threshold applicable during the initial three-year period after completion of two-thirds of Non-Executive Directors (previously contemplated as 75%) for (i) any proposal to the general meeting regarding the appointment and dismissal of Directors, (ii) the appointment and removal of the CEO, Deputy CEO and CFO, (iii) designation of the Chair and Vice Chair titles and (iv) amendments to the remuneration policy.

Rakesh Sachdev, Chair of the Axalta Board of Directors, stated, “We are pleased to announce these governance enhancements following constructive engagement with our shareholders. We believe these changes reinforce our commitment to strong corporate governance and effective Board oversight while further strengthening the governance framework of the combined company. We appreciate the feedback we’ve received throughout this process and remain confident that this combination will create a premier global coatings company that delivers significant long-term value for all shareholders.”

Ben Noteboom, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AkzoNobel, said: “We have listened thoughtfully to our shareholders and believe these changes reflect the spirit of partnership and accountability that will define the combined company from day one. We are grateful for the constructive engagement that has shaped these improvements, which further align the governance of the combined company with the interests of all shareholders and other stakeholders.”

These governance enhancements do not require any changes to the proposed Articles of Association of the combined company. As a result, the AkzoNobel EGM and Axalta SGM planned for August 5, 2026 are proceeding as planned, with the existing agenda items unaffected.

This is a public announcement by Akzo Nobel N.V. and Axalta pursuant to section 17 paragraph 1 of the European Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014).

The company has also strengthened its leadership team with two key additions. Clara Cambon-Thiebaud joins as Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, based in New York, and Céline Breda as Vice President, Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC). This leadership team expansion comes as Cyllene Tx advances its lead candidate, EG110A, towards late-stage clinical development for neurogenic bladder-related incontinence.

“Building a world-class leadership team is essential as we advance Cyllene Tx into its next phase of growth,” said Philippe Cambon, MD, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cyllene Tx. “These appointments strengthen our existing team by adding the late-stage expertise and experience necessary to meet our upcoming corporate goals. Alyssa brings exceptional financial leadership and public company expertise, including significant experience in capital markets, strategic transactions, and corporate governance. Clara is a highly accomplished regulatory leader with deep global expertise in advancing innovative therapies from early development through approval. Céline has dedicated her career to the manufacturing of biologics both in biopharma companies and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). Together, they give us the depth needed to execute on our strategy and move our pipeline forward.”

Ms. Levin is a seasoned biotechnology finance executive with more than 15 years of experience leading financial strategy, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and operational growth across both public and private life sciences companies. She has raised more than $500 million through financings, led transformative corporate transactions, and built high-performing finance organizations while developing strong relationships across the investor, banking, and biopharmaceutical communities.

She currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Radionetics Oncology, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company operating under a strategic agreement with Eli Lilly, where she leads finance, legal, and people operations. She previously served as Chief Financial and Business Officer at Nkarta (Nasdaq: NKTX), where she was instrumental in a $240 million follow-on public offering, Chief Financial Officer of ViaCyte, co-leading the company’s $320 million acquisition by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and held CFO positions at Tentarix Biotherapeutics and Bird Rock Bio. Ms. Levin began her career in audit and capital markets advisory at PwC LLP and The Siegfried Group and is a Chartered Professional Accountant (Canada).

“I am honored to join the Cyllene Tx Board as the company builds toward its next phase of growth. With EG110A advancing and the clinical pipeline expanding, I look forward to working with the Board and management team to help bolster the financial and governance infrastructure a company at this stage needs,” said Ms. Levin.

Ms. Cambon-Thiebaud joins Cyllene Tx as Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, bringing more than 15 years of global regulatory leadership spanning multiple therapeutic modalities and all phases of drug development. Throughout her career, she has contributed to more than 30 development programs from preclinical research through successful regulatory filings and product approvals. A French-trained pharmacist based in the United States, Ms. Cambon-Thiebaud began her career at Genentech before establishing a successful regulatory consulting practice focused on supporting innovative biotechnology companies. She has advised clients on global regulatory strategy, filing readiness, regulatory organization development, and Health Authority interactions, helping companies design differentiated development strategies and successfully navigate complex regulatory pathways to bring important new therapies to patients.

“I am delighted to join Cyllene Tx at such an exciting time and especially look forward to working with Regulators globally on the strategy to advance our lead program EG110A and, more broadly, our HERMES platform to address important medical needs,” said Ms. Cambon-Thiebaud.

Ms. Breda joins Cyllene as Vice President, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC). She is a seasoned biopharmaceutical executive with more than 25 years of experience leading CMC strategy, pharmaceutical development and manufacturing operations for innovative biologics. Throughout her career, she has played a key role in advancing vaccines, viral vectors and other complex biological products from development into clinical manufacturing. Recognized for her scientific rigor and operational leadership, she brings extensive expertise in process development, technology transfer, GMP manufacturing, external network management and global CMC strategy.

“EG110A represents a real opportunity to improve patients’ lives, and I’m looking forward to building the CMC strategy that will carry it through the next phase of clinical manufacturing and beyond. Cyllene Tx is building a very talented team, and I’m glad to be joining at this important stage,” said Ms. Breda.

About Cyllene Therapeutics

Cyllene Therapeutics is the global leader in non-replicating HSV-1 (nrHSV-1) vector technology in neurology. Cyllene Tx is currently executing a Phase 1/2 study in the US with its lead DNA medicine candidate, EG110A, in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (neurogenic bladder)-related incontinence. This is the first human study with nrHSV vectors targeting sensory neuron-based diseases. EG110A is being developed to address multiple severe bladder diseases, including overactive bladder (OAB), and has the potential to be a major improvement over existing therapies, resulting in better care for patients and lower costs for healthcare systems. The company’s unique HERMES platform delivers pinpoint neurotherapeutics to treat prevalent diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system. Its vectors can achieve focal transduction and then selective expression of transgenes in targeted subsets of neurons. With demonstrated clinical safety and possible repeat dosing, the large payload capacity of nrHSV-1 vectors allows for versatile DNA delivery and smarter DNA medicine.

Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO, commented:

totaled $1.22 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 31.1%. Gross margin of 34.8%, increased 130 basis points year-over-year, mainly due to lower unused capacity charges and better product mix. Non-U.S. GAAP1 gross margin was 35.2%, in line with the mid-point of ST’s guidance.


Operating income
increased from an operating loss of $133 million in the year-ago quarter to an operating income of $187 million. ST’s operating margin increased on a year-over-year basis to 5.4% of net revenues, compared to negative 4.8% operating margin in the second quarter of 2025. Operating income included $58 million impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs for the quarter, mainly reflecting charges related to the execution of the previously announced company-wide program to reshape our manufacturing footprint and resize our global cost base and $24 million PPA effects from the acquisition of NXP’s MEMS sensor business. Excluding these items, non-U.S. GAAP1 Operating income stood at $269 million in the second quarter (or 7.7% non-U.S. GAAP1 operating margin).

ST Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

U.S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

The supplemental non-U.S. GAAP information presented in this press release is unaudited and subject to inherent limitations. Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ST’s on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST’s business and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of ST’s results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items.


Non-U.S. GAAP Gross Profit, Non-U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Non-U.S. GAAP Net Income and Non-U.S. GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (non-U.S. GAAP measures)

Operating income before impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and other certain items, is used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items, such as impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and PPA effects. Non-U.S. GAAP gross profit is also used by management to communicate the impact of PPA effects on gross margin. Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items like impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs and other certain items, such as PPA effects, net of the relevant tax impact.

(Appendix – continued)


Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measures)

Net Financial Position, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits, and marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. ST also presents adjusted net financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on capital grants for which capital expenditures have not been incurred yet.

ST believes its Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for investors and management because they give evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits and marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measures)

ST presents Net Capex as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measure), to take into consideration the effect of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.

Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets, as reported plus (ii) Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, as reported plus (iii) Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, as reported plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.

ST believes Net Capex provides useful information for investors and management because annual capital expenditures budget includes the effect of capital grants. Our definition of Net Capex may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) Net Capex plus (iii) payment for purchase (and proceeds from sale) of intangible and financial assets and (iv) net cash paid for business acquisitions, if any.

ST believes Free Cash Flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operations.

Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates, and by excluding the advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.
