Fusion Signage achieves ISO 27001 certification and hits 20,000 user licence milestone

BRISBANE, 29 April 2026 – In what is turning out to be a month of major achievements Fusion Signage, often referred to as Australia’s user-friendliest digital signage software, has officially achieved ISO 27001 certification and hit their 20,000 user licence milestone all in the same week.

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management.

Fusion Signage MD James Ingram explained, “It’s truly been a momentous few weeks. We’ve achieved both SOC 2 Type II attestation and ISO 27001 certification, alongside reaching 20,000 active licences.  For our customers, this instils confidence as, firstly, very few companies have both their SOC 2 Type II attestation and are ISO 27001 certified. Secondly, while it took a few years to get to 10,000 licences, it only took half that time to get another 10,000. For us, that’s a clear sign our platform is delivering real value and scaling with the businesses using it.”

Fusion Signage’s ISO 27001 certification means their customers’ data and content are managed under a globally recognised security standard with clear processes, regular audits and controls in place.

Ingram added, “As an Australian business supporting customers across a wide range of industries, we have always believed that protecting data isn’t a requirement it is a responsibility. With that in mind we are very proud that our commitment to security is now further enhanced and backed by an official ISO 27001 certification.”

  In truth the Fusion Signage team started the process of setting out, formalising and strengthening the security practices the company had already been living by over 12 months ago.

Ingram said, “It wasn’t a quick project or a checkbox exercise. It was a deep, organisation‑wide effort to evaluate, refine and document how we handle information at every level. From internal processes to platform development, to how we support our customers on a day‑to‑day basis our team has been dedicated to building a secure foundation that scales with our customers and the digital signage industry.”

The results and benefits of having both SOC 2 Type II attestation and ISO 27001 certification are clear for Fusion Signage’s customers and users as their content and data are managed through clear, audited security processes. Risks are identified and handled early, not after something goes wrong and security is built into the Fusion Signage platform, not layered on later.

Ingram said, “This all means that while you’re uploading content, scheduling campaigns or managing multiple locations, everything runs on a secure foundation without you needing to think twice. While the ISO 27001 certification is new, the mindset behind it isn’t. Fusion Signage has always been built on reliability, transparency and customer trust. This achievement simply reinforces what has guided our platform from the very beginning – a platform you can trust to just work. In the world of digital signage this is no mean feat. In short and as a very highly regarded member of our industry said last week, Fusion Signage is making an already trusted platform even more trustworthy.”

Fusion Signage’s ISO 27001 certification audit was carried out by Sensiba, the internationally recognised certification body well-known for its thorough and transparent approach to information security reviews.

Ingram explained, “Our certification covers the entire Fusion Signage platform end to end, from the operational systems that support the product to the way we build and maintain our software to how we handle and protect information internally. It’s a large scope that reflects our commitment to keeping security front and centre across all areas of the business, not just within the platform itself.”

This ISO 27001 certification is one of the biggest undertakings in Fusion Signage’s history as committing to ISO 27001 also meant dedicating a significant amount of time, resources and focus. Entire roles were redirected, development priorities were reshaped and countless internal processes were rebuilt from the ground up. It was a major behind‑the‑scenes effort that customers rarely get to see.

James Ingram concluded, “This was a serious investment and one we chose because as the technology evolves with the likes of AI and increasing data breaches, security has never been more important for our customers. Every process we refined and every control we implemented was done with our customers in mind. In truth that’s the whole point of Fusion Signage and our digital signage software solution – adding safe, secure and reliable value to our customers and their businesses no matter what their size.”

TestMu AI Launches Kane CLI, the New Browser Automation Tool Built for AI Agents and Developers

The terminal-native browser verification tool ships today with native support for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, and it’s free to start

San Francisco, CA – April 28, 2026 — TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world’s first full-stack Agentic Quality Engineering platform, today announced the launch of Kane CLI, a new browser automation tool that runs directly from the terminal. Kane CLI is the first tool designed simultaneously for human developers and AI coding agents, closing the gap between code generation and verified browser execution.

AI coding agents have transformed how software gets written, as AI agents are shipping code faster than any QA team can click through flows manually. Features ship from prompts. Bugs get fixed in seconds. But the development loop has never fully closed: no agent can open a browser and verify that what it built actually works. That step still falls to a human. Kane CLI is built to close this loop.

Teams build features, spot bugs, ship code, and run agents. Kane CLI is the verification layer for all of it. Developers and QA engineers describe the flow and get pass or fail with a full step trace and screenshot before the PR goes up. Designers and PMs verify fixes and broken flows without filing a ticket or waiting for a developer, then drop the shareable evidence link straight into Slack or Jira. And when AI agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and Gemini CLI build a feature; Kane CLI is the missing tool that tells them whether it actually works in the local Chrome browser.

Key Capabilities of Kane CLI include:

• Intent-based browser control: Operates purely on intent, requiring no selectors or underlying code.
• Resilient runs: Kane CLI does not return halfway. It adapts and pushes through, up to 50 steps per flow, until the full journey is verified. Other tools break on the first change. Kane CLI finishes the run.
• Playwright export: Converts plain English test flows into native Playwright test code with one command.
• Automated bug discovery: Actively monitors and surfaces unexpected behaviors while the test flow is running.

• Vision-based dynamic waiting: Detects loaders and animations on screen before acting. Not network-based. Handles canvas, Shadow DOM, and element frameworks that cannot be resolved.
• Ask the tool for OTPs and CAPTCHAs: When an automated flow hits an OTP screen or a CAPTCHA, it does not fail silently. Kane CLI pauses, asks the human to handle that one step, and then continues the run. For AI agents, this is human-in-the-loop without stopping the entire workflow.
• Two-way script migration: Convert existing Playwright or Selenium scripts to Kane CLI. Convert Kane CLI tests back to Playwright. No rewrite from scratch.
• Inbuilt Test Manager sync: Every test case created locally is also saved remotely. Shareable proof attached automatically.
• CI/CD ready: Runs headlessly in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Bitbucket Pipelines. Standard exit codes plug into pipeline control flow without any custom scripting.
• Contextual authoring: Give Kane CLI context about your app, and it authors parallel test cases across multiple browser sessions from a single prompt.

Three Ways to Run

Kane CLI ships with three modes so humans and agents can consume it the same way from the same terminal.

• Interactive TUI – No arguments needed. A full terminal UI opens for exploring, iterating, and chaining tests across a live browser session.
• Headless CLI – Add –headless for scriptable, display-free runs. Built for shell scripts and CI pipelines.
• Agent Mode – Add –agent –headless. Outputs structured NDJSON that Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI read natively to decide what to do next.

Asad Khan, CEO & Co-Founder, TestMu AI, said, “For years, the bottleneck in software was writing the code. Vibe coding removed that. Teams are shipping more software, faster, than at any point in the history of our industry. But it exposed a new bottleneck most teams haven’t named yet: trust. Every feature that ships from a prompt is a feature nobody has actually verified. At agentic speed, ‘a human will click through it later’ is not a plan — it’s a liability, compounding at the speed of AI. it’s a growing pile of unverified work. That’s why we built Kane CLI. One terminal command, a real browser, pass or fail. Software has always trusted the people who wrote it. Now, for the first time, it has to trust the machines. Kane CLI is how trust scales in the agentic era.”

As part of its launch, TestMu AI is offering bonus credits for the first three months to teams that activate a paid plan during the introductory period. The offer is designed to give engineering and quality teams full access to Kane CLI’s cloud capabilities.

Kane CLI is available today, free to start. Install via npm or brew, log in, and run your first flow.

Installation command for Kane CLI via npm – npm install -g @testmuai/kane-cli

Installation command for Kane CLI via Homebrew – brew install LambdaTest/kane/kane-cli
