Struddys has been a strong example of organic growth through dye sublimation. The business began with a single 64-inch printer (delivering approximately 20 sqm/hr) and expanded to three units as customer demand increased. As production volumes grew, however, the company reached the practical limits of adding smaller-format devices.

At that point, Struddys made a deliberate move to higher-volume production capability rather than continuing to scale incrementally. The company adopted a 76-inch Epson SureColor F10060, a production platform capable of up to 255 sqm/hr and specifically 100 sqm/hr in apparel production, enabling a major increase in throughput and operational efficiency.

That shift gave Struddys a more effective production model: high-volume work could be concentrated on the larger-format platform, while its 64-inch printers remained ideal for short runs, custom programs and bespoke jobs.

As demand has continued to grow, Struddys has now added a second 76-inch platform with the purchase of the new SureColor F20060.

Averlon Launches Precog to Stop Exploitable Risk Before It Reaches Production

New predictive remediation capability helps security teams prevent exploitable risk before it reaches production

 

Redmond, WA, May 21, 2026 — Averlon today announced Precog, a predictive remediation capability that identifies exploitable risk in proposed code and infrastructure changes and delivers the fix to developers before the change reaches production. Precog addresses a widening gap: AI is accelerating both code delivery and vulnerability discovery, and security teams can no longer manage risk only after it lands in production. 

The need for this shift is becoming urgent. Google Cloud’s Mandiant M-Trends 2026 report found that mean time to exploit collapsed from 63 days in 2018 to an estimated minus seven days in 2025, meaning exploitation now often begins before a patch is available. New frontier models such as Claude Mythos and GPT-5.5-Cyber are making it increasingly clear that AI will compress the time required to discover, validate, and exploit vulnerabilities. The result is a widening gap between the speed at which risk is discovered and exploited, and the speed at which security teams can triage and fix it.

The industry is converging on a new operating model: Remediation Operations, or RemOps. The premise is simple: finding risk and closing risk are different problems. Security teams do not need more alerts; they need a way to understand what is truly exploitable, prioritize by business impact, and drive safe fixes through developer workflows. 

Averlon’s Remediation Operations platform addresses the full lifecycle of risk reduction: ingesting security findings, determining what is truly exploitable, prioritizing by business impact, and driving agentic remediation through developer workflows. The platform has helped customers reduce remediation time by up to 90 percent and alert noise by up to 95 percent, helping security teams move from backlogs of thousands of findings to the handful that need fixing. 

With Precog, Averlon extends that model earlier in the lifecycle by preventing exploitable risk before it becomes production exposure. Unlike security scanners that flag findings based on generic severity scores, Precog evaluates whether a proposed change would actually be exploitable in the customer’s real environment, accounting for internet reachability, exposed services, and existing compensating controls. This contextual analysis means Precog surfaces the changes that genuinely create exposure, not the long tail of theoretically risky findings that wouldn’t be exploitable in production. Precog integrates into CI systems such as GitHub, evaluating proposed changes before they reach production. 

When risky changes are detected, Precog identifies the issue, explains the exploitable path, and generates a remediation directly in the developer workflow. Developers receive the proposed fix at the same time they are notified of the risk, reducing friction between security review and software delivery. 

“AI is changing both sides of the software lifecycle. It is accelerating development while also introducing code that is often not ready for production. With AI also accelerating the discovery and exploitation of weaknesses in that software, security teams can no longer rely only on post-production detection and backlog management. Capabilities like Averlon’s Precog point to where the market is headed: identifying risky changes earlier and helping developers fix them before they become production exposure.” 

Chris Steffen, VP Research, Enterprise Management Associates

Complementing Precog is Vulnerability Intelligence, Averlon’s CVE research feed at research.averlon.ai, which gives teams the context they need to triage emerging vulnerabilities, including exploitability, attacker requirements, required privileges, user interaction, and evidence of exploitation in the wild. 

“Security teams have relied on finding and fixing vulnerabilities after they reach production. AI has made that untenable from both directions: it is generating new vulnerabilities faster than teams can triage them, and it is collapsing the window between exposure and exploitation. You cannot remediate your way out of that. The only way to stay ahead is to prevent exploitable risk from reaching production in the first place. That is what Precog does.”

WellSpan Health Reports 66% Reduction in Workplace Violence Following Systemwide Safety Initiative with Canopy

PALO ALTO, CA. May 21 – Canopy, a connected safety platform for hospitals and health systems focused on protecting nurses and staff, announced a new case study today with Pennsylvania health system WellSpan Health, showing measurable shifts after rolling out a systemwide workplace violence prevention strategy supported by Canopy’s technology.

According to the joint case study, WellSpan Health saw a 66% reduction in workplace violence-related DART (Days Away, Restricted or Transferred) injuries within a year of implementation. The initiative centralized public safety operations and emergency response protocols into a unified system, supported by wearable and RTLS technology that allows staff to quickly signal for help during escalating situations.

“One of WellSpan’s organizational goals is zero harm, not just in workplace violence but across all injuries,” said Bill White, Vice President of Public Safety at WellSpan Health. “We have an obligation to provide a safe environment for anyone who enters our facilities,” White noted that before Canopy, alerts were often delayed, and staff didn’t have a dependable way to quickly signal for help. “That’s changed with Canopy,” he said. “Our team members now have immediate access to support at the push of a button, which helps us respond faster and makes them feel more supported in real time.”

WellSpan identified several operational gaps across its growing network of hospitals and care sites before launching the initiative. Emergency alerts varied by location, and staff often had to locate a phone or secondary device before requesting security support, which slowed response during critical moments. After implementing Canopy, WellSpan rolled out instant notifications, integrated the DASA (Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression) framework, and enhanced data validation tools to improve response times and increase staff visibility during incidents.

Workplace violence in hospitals continues to be one of healthcare’s fastest-growing operational and workforce challenges. The WellSpan and Canopy report was released during National Nurses Month, highlighting this ongoing, yet underrecognized issue throughout U.S. health systems. WellSpan leaders noted that the initiative was designed to reduce physical incidents while also shifting the organization toward a more proactive safety model across departments and campuses.

“Healthcare organizations everywhere are looking for better ways to support and protect frontline staff,” said Shan Sinha, CEO of Canopy Works. “The kind of impact Canopy and WellSpan have achieved together is exactly what Canopy strives for: creating environments where staff can get help quickly, feel supported in high-stress situations, and focus on delivering care safely. We’re proud to partner with WellSpan in building a stronger culture of safety for healthcare workers every day.”

Healthcare workforce safety has become an increasingly important area of focus nationally as organizations seek new approaches to meet evolving expectations around workforce well-being and retention in clinical environments. Industry analysts and healthcare leaders have pointed to workplace safety as a key component of long-term workforce sustainability.

Canopy is creating a standardized process for emergency response and safety across its expanding network. With WellSpan as a strong example of success, Canopy continues to support healthcare organizations in building safer environments for nurses, staff, patients, and visitors.

The Silent Cost of Postponing Oral Hygiene – Oral Health Analysis by Leading Health Expert Dr. Sonia Datta

The Silent Cost of Postponing Oral Hygiene - Oral Health Analysis by Leading Health Expert Dr. Sonia Datta

 

Kolkata | May 21: While many individuals wait for an acute toothache to signal a problem, dental experts are highlighting a growing concern regarding the “silent” progression of oral health issues. Most dental complications, from cavities to gum disease, begin without immediate pain or visible symptoms, leading to a dangerous cycle of postponement. This delay often allows minor issues to transform into significant long-term damage before a patient even realizes a problem exists.

The hidden progression of neglect begins when hygiene is overlooked, allowing plaque to harden into tartar within a matter of days. Once tartar forms, it cannot be removed by standard brushing, creating a foundation for chronic inflammation, enamel erosion, and eventual tooth loss.  Dentists point out that the biggest mistake is equating the absence of pain with the absence of a disease. By the time discomfort finally manifests, the condition has often advanced to a stage that requires complex, invasive, and costly intervention rather than simple preventive maintenance.

In response to these risks, there is a renewed focus on preventive care that integrates time-tested natural solutions with modern science. Ayurvedic ingredients such as clove and neem have long been recognized for their potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which help control harmful bacteria and soothe gum tissue. Dabur Red Paste incorporates these traditional botanicals into a clinically tested daily formulation that carries the IDA Seal of Acceptance, providing a scientifically backed tool to combat plaque and prevent the onset of serious dental conditions.

Maintaining long-term oral health requires a shift from reactive treatment to proactive habits. Consistent brushing twice daily with a validated toothpaste like Dabur Red Paste, combined with daily flossing and reduced sugar intake, forms a critical defense against acid exposure and bacterial buildup. When these daily habits are supported by regular professional check-ups, oral diseases can be identified and managed in their earliest stages. Choosing a proactive regimen is the most effective way to protect one’s smile and avoid the inevitable physical and financial costs of dental neglect –Oral Health Analysis by Leading Health Expert Dr. Sonia Datta.
