AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection1 for the seventh consecutive time.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection

CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native endpoint security and is defining the future of AI Detection and Response. AI has triggered an endpoint renaissance, with agents executing, deciding, and acting on the endpoint with system-level privilege at machine speed. CrowdStrike’s endpoint business has accelerated for consecutive quarters as enterprises move to secure AI where it runs.2

“AI executes on the endpoint and is creating the largest security demand driver since enterprises moved to the cloud,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “As agents take actions, access sensitive data, and interact with critical systems, they must be secured in real time, at the point of execution. We feel this recognition reflects our excellence in endpoint security today and how we are defining the next category of security for the AI era.”

Securing AI on the Endpoint

As AI agents gain autonomy and system-level privilege, the endpoint is the control point for modern security. It’s where agents execute commands, access data, and trigger downstream workflows often indistinguishable from legitimate user activity. CrowdStrike secures AI at runtime on the endpoint – delivering real-time visibility and enforcement over AI behavior, automatically discovering AI applications and agents, and inspecting prompts and interactions to stop injection attacks, data leaks, and policy violations at the point of execution.

CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise devices, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances across its customer base, the largest dataset of AI agent behavior in cybersecurity.3 Agent actions do not remain on the endpoint, and securing AI requires extending protection across organizations’ AI infrastructure.

CrowdStrike’s unified platform architecture extends continuous, risk-aware protection across human, non-human, and AI agent identities, cloud runtime environments, as well as SaaS applications and live browser sessions where work happens. In addition, Charlotte AI – with usage growing more than 6x year-over-year and ARR more than tripling4 – powers the agentic SOC, automating high-friction workflows and stopping breaches at machine speed across the enterprise attack surface.

“CrowdStrike introduced us to a new standard of endpoint security and has secured our innovation journey ever since,” said Jairo Orea, global chief information security officer, Royal Caribbean Group. “As AI becomes central to how we operate, CrowdStrike gives us the visibility and control we need to adopt it confidently; they are the platform we trust to secure AI where it runs.”

In January 2026, CrowdStrike was named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Endpoint Protection Platforms report, with the most 5-star ratings of any Customers’ Choice vendor.5

UBS Announces Leadership Appointments in the Southeast US Region

UBS Announces Leadership Appointments in the Southeast US Region

  • John Houlihan named Market Executive for the South Market
  • Tyler Hutchens named Market Executive for Greater Florida/Gulf Coast Market

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
UBS Wealth Management USA today announced two leadership appointments in its Southeast Wealth Management Region.

The Southeast Region, which has seen an influx of wealth in recent years, encompasses some of the nation’s fastest growing wealth centers, including Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Charleston, Nashville, Atlanta, Miami, Palm Beach, Naples and Tampa, among others.

John Houlihan has been named Market Executive for the South Market. He is responsible for overseeing the firm’s Private Wealth Management and Wealth Management businesses in Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

John reports to Julie Fox, Southeast Regional Director, and is based in Atlanta.

His career in financial services spans more than three decades, including years of experience in Atlanta. He joined UBS in 2015 and was most recently Regional Market Director for the Northeast. Prior to joining UBS, he served as a Regional Director at Barclays based in Atlanta. He began his career in financial services in 1993 as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. Over the next two decades, he held a variety of leadership roles at Morgan Stanley, including Branch Manager and Complex Director, overseeing markets across New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and Georgia.

“John is someone our teams and clients already know and trust thanks to his proven track record over the course of his successful career at UBS for more than a decade,” said Julie Fox. “He has led teams across virtually every corner of our industry, and that breadth of experience gives him a perspective few leaders can match. What truly sets John apart is that he started his career as a financial advisor and spent years in the field, sitting across from clients. He understands the pressures, the responsibilities, and the craft of being a financial advisor because he lived it.”

Greg Achten, a 10-year veteran of UBS, previously led the South Market, and has informed the firm of his decision to retire from his distinguished 40-year career in the wealth management industry.

During his career at UBS, he has counseled, mentored and guided hundreds of financial advisors helping them grow their practices, sharpen their skills, and consistently deliver for clients. His expertise in building high-performing teams has been a driving force for our business in the region. This track record stems from Greg’s experience in the wealth management industry, which includes 17 years as a financial advisor and full-time leadership roles in various markets including Dallas, Tulsa, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Boston, and Chicago.

Today, UBS also announced that Tyler Hutchens has been named Market Executive for the Greater Florida/Gulf Coast Market.

This is part of the evolution of UBS’s Florida market structure that was announced earlier this month by creating two distinct markets: Greater Florida/Gulf Coast and South Florida.

Tyler is responsible for overseeing financial advisors in Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Gainesville and Jacksonville, as well as Louisiana (New Orleans, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge), Jackson, Mississippi and Montgomery, Alabama.

Tyler reports to Julie Fox, Southeast Regional Director, and is relocating to Naples, FL. In this role, Tyler also serves as Market Director for the Naples and Fort Myers branches.

He most recently served as Executive Director and Senior Market Director at UBS, overseeing offices in Boulder and Denver. Prior to joining UBS in 2015, Tyler held senior leadership roles with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, managing large regional operations across multiple states. Earlier in his career, he worked in sports marketing and entrepreneurship, including roles with the Dallas Mavericks and founding a successful marketing and public relations firm.

“Tyler has a proven track record of helping top performing teams at UBS thrive, grow their practice and deliver consistent results for clients,” Fox said. “Tyler is also very familiar with the Gulf Coast region, having spent earlier parts of his career there, and he’s eager to return to the area to help our business expand its presence in these critical wealth centers.”

Ramaco Resources CEO Randall W. Atkins Appears on CNBC’s Morning Call to Discuss Critical Minerals and Energy Market Trends

PR Newswire

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ramaco Resources, (NASDAQ: METC, METCB) (“Ramaco”) announced today that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Randall W. Atkins, appeared on CNBC’s Morning Call to discuss the Company’s coal and critical minerals platform in Central Appalachia and Wyoming, and the impact on global coal markets amid energy market disruptions tied to the ongoing conflict in Iran.

During the interview, Randall W. Atkins highlighted Ramaco’s development of its exploratory Brook Mine project in Sheridan, Wyoming. The project is positioned to contribute to domestic supply chains for materials essential to advanced technologies, energy systems, and national security applications.

Mr. Atkins noted that the Company raised nearly $1 billion over the past year, positioning Ramaco to invest in and execute on the Brook Mine project and advance its broader critical minerals strategy.

Mr. Atkins also addressed the impact of geopolitical instability on global energy markets stemming from the war in Iran and the recent increase in coal pricing across international markets. Atkins emphasized that approximately two-thirds of the Company’s metallurgical coal production is exported to international markets, underscoring Ramaco’s exposure to global pricing dynamics.

Ramaco is uniquely positioned as both a leading producer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in Central Appalachia—serving global steel markets—and as an emerging developer of a rare earths and critical minerals platform in Wyoming. This dual-platform strategy enables the Company to balance near-term cash flow from its current metallurgical coal operations with potential long-term growth tied to critical materials development.

About Ramaco Resources

Ramaco Resources, Inc. is an operator and developer of high-quality, low-cost metallurgical coal in southern West Virginia, and southwestern Virginia and exploring a coal, rare earth and other critical minerals project in Wyoming. The Company’s executive offices are located in Lexington, Kentucky, with operational offices in Charleston, West Virginia and Sheridan, Wyoming. The Company currently has four active metallurgical coal mining complexes in Central Appalachia and one coal mine and rare earth element and other critical mineral exploration stage property near Sheridan, Wyoming (the “Brook Mine”). The Brook Mine remains an exploration stage property, and no assurance can be given that it will be successfully developed into a commercial scale mine or that any inferred mineral resources estimated will be converted into higher confidence mineral resources or eventually mineral reserves. Contiguous to the Brook Mine, the Company operates a carbon research facility related to the potential production of advanced carbon products and materials from coal. In connection with these activities, it holds a body of more than 70 intellectual property patents, pending applications, exclusive licensing agreements and various trademarks. News and additional information about Ramaco Resources, including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are available at https://www.ramacoresources.com. For more information, contact investor relations at (859) 244-7455.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements related to future production volumes and sales, anticipated capital expenditures, expected demand for metallurgical coal, the development and commercialization of the Brook Mine rare earth and critical mineral project, projected operating costs and margins, and the Company’s financial guidance and outlook. These forward-looking statements represent Ramaco Resources’ expectations or beliefs concerning guidance, future events, anticipated revenue, future demand and production levels, macroeconomic trends, the development of ongoing projects, costs and expectations regarding operating results, and it is possible that the results described in this news release will not be achieved.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of Ramaco Resources’ control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

These factors include, without limitation, unexpected delays in our current mine development activities, the ability to successfully increase production at our existing met coal complexes in accordance with the Company’s growth initiatives, failure of our sales commitment counterparties to perform, increased government regulation of coal in the United States or internationally, the impact of tariffs imposed by the United States and foreign governments, the further decline of demand for coal in export markets and underperformance of the railroads, the Company’s ability to successfully develop the exploratory Brook Mine rare earth and critical mineral project, including whether the Company’s exploration target and estimates for such mine are realized, the timing of the initial production of rare earth concentrates, the development of a pilot and ultimately a full scale commercial processing facility. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not meet the threshold for reserve modifying factors, such as estimated economic viability, that would allow for conversion to mineral reserves. There is no certainty that any part of the inferred mineral resources estimated at Brook Mine will be converted into higher confidence mineral resources and eventually mineral reserves in the future. Rare earth and critical minerals are a new initiative for us and, as such, has required and will continue to require us to make significant investments to build out our rare earth and other critical mineral capabilities.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as required by law, Ramaco Resources does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Ramaco Resources to predict all such factors. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements found in Ramaco Resources’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The risk factors and other factors noted in Ramaco Resources’ SEC filings could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

ISG Introduces New Flagship, Executive-Level Event

ISG Introduces New Flagship, Executive-Level Event

NXT.ai will guide senior leaders from strategizing to executing the operating blueprint for an intelligent enterprise

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, today announced the launch of a new flagship event, bringing senior enterprise leaders and technology innovators together to build the operating blueprint for an intelligent enterprise.

The inaugural NXT.ai will take place August 9 – 12 in Nashville, Tennessee. Participants will follow a curated agenda connecting them with the ideas, technologies and partners reshaping the intelligent enterprise and guiding them through the process of building, executing, governing and leading their next-generation enterprise architecture.

“AI changes how the enterprise operates, not just which tools it uses,” said Karen Healy, partner and global leader of ISG Events. “NXT.ai builds on our suite of industry-leading events, adding an immersive, high-level experience that will take participants from idea to execution. Participants will leave the event with insights and connections that will empower them to govern complexity and make high-stakes investment and transformation decisions.”

Each day of the three-day event will begin with a general session framing the strategic questions around AI, anchored by a keynote address. Following the general session, participants will choose one of two strategic summits on securing, engineering, connecting, scaling, leading and governing the intelligent enterprise. The event will also feature an innovation hub where participants can meet qualified providers and test-drive AI solutions.

The first day of the event will look at the changes AI has brought to enterprise decision-making. Richard Aldrich, a leading cybersecurity and technology expert and professor of International Security at the University of Warwick, will deliver a keynote address on “The New Digital Cold War: Cyber, AI and the Fragmentation of the Global Economy,” exploring the evolution of AI and agentic systems into instruments of national power, and how enterprise technology strategies should incorporate data sovereignty, cyber risk and regulatory divergence.

Day two of the event will cover next-generation enterprise architecture. Jason Mars, professor of Computer Science at University of Michigan, president of Jaseci Labs and co-founder of Myca.ai, will outline system designs that can unlock performance, efficiency and scalability in ways traditional architectures cannot, in the “Infrastructure Bottleneck: Why AI Will be Won at the Systems Level” keynote address.

Execution, governance and leadership strategies will be the focus of day three. Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, CEO of tech nonprofit Humane Intelligence, U.S. Science Envoy for Artificial Intelligence and Responsible AI Fellow at the Harvard University Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, will deliver “Who Governs the Machine? AI, Risk and the Future of the Enterprise,” on the rising stakes of AI deployment and effect on enterprise risk management.

“ISG research finds that investment in AI has risen tenfold since 2023, but workplace impact and ROI are lagging behind,” Healy said. “True business value will require organizations to architect an intelligent enterprise, with new technology, operating models, governance structures and leadership practices. NXT.ai will share practical frameworks and peer-tested approaches participants can apply immediately.”

Infosys and NTT DATA are NXT.ai global partners, and McDermott Will & Schulte is an event partner. Additional information and registration for NXT.ai is available on the event website.

Faster decisions, faster care for patients: Cognizant opens TriZetto Unify to AI agents

PR Newswire

  • AI agents take on the friction that delays patient access to care
  • Built to keep clinical decisions and oversight in human hands
  • A new headless API model treats AI agents as first-tier consumers of TriZetto Unify, beginning with Electronic Prior Authorization

TEANECK, N.J., May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) is putting AI agents to work on one of U.S. healthcare’s most persistent administrative bottlenecks: prior authorization. A new headless API model treats AI agents as first-tier consumers of TriZetto Unify, Cognizant’s platform strategy that spans payer and provider workflows. Electronic Prior Authorization is the first solution to go live, following the rollout of TriZetto Assistant and TriZetto Autonomous Workflow Agents to existing customers.

Cognizant Logo

“This is the first move in opening our healthcare platforms to a new kind of consumer,” said Prasad Sankaran, President, Cognizant AI Products and Platforms. “AI agents are increasingly joining human users in enterprise workflows, and for regulated industries like healthcare, that requires a platform that is policy-governed, auditable and built on industry-standard healthcare interoperability protocols. Every future solution built on the TriZetto Unify platform strategy will treat agents as first-tier consumers from the start.”

Prior authorization has become one of the largest sources of friction in U.S. healthcare. The most recent American Medical Association survey found that 95% of physicians say prior authorization delays access to necessary care, and physicians and their staff spend an average of 13 hours each week completing the requests.1

AI agents are emerging as a new class of enterprise user that needs governed access to regulated systems. Regulators are also mandating faster, more automated prior authorization workflows, including the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule, which carries payer compliance obligations beginning in 2026 and electronic prior authorization API mandates taking effect in 2027.

“Healthcare payers and providers are under real pressure to take administrative cost out of the system without compromising the clinical judgment that belongs with physicians,” said Surya Gummadi, President, Cognizant Americas. “Prior authorization is one of the clearest examples of where that pressure lives, and where AI agents can handle the work that doesn’t require a clinician. Making TriZetto Unify agent-ready delivers that responsibly: at scale, under governance, with the right oversight.”

For TriZetto’s payer and provider clients, agent-ready access removes friction from the workflows that consume the largest share of administrative effort. The agents are enterprise-grade and governed, designed to operate under human oversight and within compliance boundaries, with clinical decisions kept in human hands. For patients, this means faster decisions on the care they need.

Electronic Prior Authorization is the first TriZetto SaaS solution where platform services are exposed directly as independently callable APIs, with no required user interface. The same services can power human-facing applications, automated workflows or AI agent operations, in what developers call a “headless” model.

The release introduces three industry-standard API resources within Electronic Prior Authorization, aligned with HL7 FHIR interoperability specifications. They cover the three steps of a natural prior authorization workflow: confirming whether prior authorization is required, identifying what documentation is needed and submitting the request itself.

Prior authorization remains a persistent challenge for providers, slowing access to treatment and contributing to staff burnout. The most complex cases still require chief medical officers and case management nurses to negotiate through fax, phone and escalation. Agent-friendly API access enables first-touch coordination at machine speed, returning human capacity to the cases that require clinical judgment.

TriZetto’s clearinghouse and Unify platform strategy together give Cognizant a multi-payer and multi-provider vantage point that single-enterprise solutions can’t replicate. The new APIs go beyond what regulation requires, with agent-friendly capabilities built into the platform from the start.

This release also extends TriZetto’s clearinghouse heritage of payer-provider connectivity, adding agent-friendly pathways alongside existing connections, with support for the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) used by AI systems. And it carries TriZetto’s long-standing open architecture from the enterprise layer, where customers have built integrations for years, into the SaaS and ecosystem tier.

TriZetto platforms support more than 200 million healthcare members in the United States and process more than $500 billion in annual healthcare spend across claims, eligibility, prior authorization and payment integrity workflows. Cognizant expects to extend agent-ready access across the broader TriZetto Unify roadmap over the coming year.

The move reflects Cognizant’s broader strategy as an AI builder: helping enterprises move from AI experimentation to production by making the platforms they rely on agent-ready by design.

Medline’s Prime Vendor model expands outside the United States

PR Newswire

Agreement with Mohawk Medbuy in Canada marks first-of-its-kind Prime Vendor relationship outside the U.S.

NORTHFIELD, Ill., May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Medline (Nasdaq: MDLN) announced that Medline Canada has signed its first Prime Vendor agreement in the country and is the first Medline Prime Vendor relationship outside the United States. The agreement is with Mohawk Medbuy (MMC), one of Canada’s largest healthcare procurement organizations, to support warehouse and supply chain logistics for its hospitals in Southwestern Ontario and builds from best practices from similar agreements with hundreds of healthcare providers in the U.S.

Beginning this fall, Medline Canada will be the first to handle warehouse and supply chain logistics for these selected hospitals, introducing a more integrated, service-driven model designed to enhance supply chain resiliency, improve service reliability and delivery cost efficiencies. It will implement a stockless distribution model, delivering customized, low-unit quantities directly to care sites on a frequent basis to help ensure the right products are available when and where they are needed.

This is the first Prime Vendor deal executed by Medline in Canada, mirroring Medline’s successful prime supply partner approach in the U.S., where Prime Vendor customers enter into long-term agreements with Medline as their consolidated distributor and logistics provider for medical-surgical product needs. It gives Medline visibility into customers’ purchasing patterns and demand dynamics, which helps Medline anticipate their needs and delivery industry-leading service levels.

“This is a major milestone for Medline in Canada and supports the evolution in how healthcare supply chains are managed in this market,” said Ernie Philip, president of Medline Canada and Medline Latin America. “This first Prime Vendor agreement in Canada with Mohawk Medbuy is expected to help their hospitals move beyond traditional distribution and toward a more connected, responsive and efficient model that’s designed to make healthcare run better. Prime vendor agreements help build capacity in hospitals, supporting them to deliver more frontline care.”

In addition to almost daily distribution deliveries from its Guelph, Ontario, location, Medline Canada will provide a comprehensive suite of supply chain services through its Supply Chain Solutions division. These services include delivery and storage optimization, automatic product substitutions for pre-approved items, backorder management with national brands, plus additional data solutions, tools and technologies to boost resiliency.

“Dependable supply chain services are a critical component of our members’ ability to deliver sustainable, quality care to their patients,” said Tony DiEmanuele, MMC president and CEO. “This collaboration with Medline aligns well with our multi warehouse expansion plan for Ontario to provide that surety of supply.”
