NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (Infrastructure Capital), a leading provider of investment management solutions designed to meet the needs of income-focused investors, is excited to declare distributions for the Infrastructure Capital Nasdaq Option Income ETF (QVOL), Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF (BNDS), Infrastructure Capital Small Cap Income ETF (SCAP), and Infrastructure Capital Equity Income ETF (ICAP). QVOL has declared a distribution increase by $0.05 from $1.04 to $1.09 per share. SCAP has declared a distribution increase by $0.005 from $0.25 to $0.255 per share. ICAP has declared a distribution increase by $0.005 from $0.25 to $0.255 per share. BNDS has declared a distribution increase by $0.0025 from $0.34 to $0.3425 per share.

QVOL intends to target an annualized distribution rate range of between 12% and 15% through option premiums earned from selling call options and dividends received from the Fund's equity holdings. This target range reflects Infrastructure Capital's expectations based on the options premiums QVOL seeks to generate and the annualized effect of those premiums. There is no assurance QVOL will achieve its target annualized distribution rate range, and the target annualized distribution rate range does not represent a 12% to 15% yield or a 12% to 15% total return. Actual distributions may be higher or lower depending on market conditions and QVOL's results. Distributions may include a portion classified as return of capital. Return of capital generally represents a return of a shareholder's invested capital rather than traditional income such as dividends or interest.

QVOL has declared a monthly distribution of $1.09 per share ($13.08 per share on an annualized basis).

BNDS ETF strategy is to target high yield investments across fixed-income securities, predominately focusing on corporate bonds.

ICAP ETF will primarily invest in equity securities of companies with a strong track record of paying dividends during normal market conditions. The Fund's portfolio of equities will generally be a diversified selection of securities, including a broad cross-section of sectors and sub-sectors, such as REITs, Utilities, Industrials, pipelines, and financials.

New AI-powered capability helps agencies manage caregiver call-offs, missed clock-ins, and critical communications around the clock

WACO, Texas, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AxisCare, a leading provider of home care management software, today announced the release of Axi Assist, an AI-powered receptionist designed to help home care agencies manage critical communications 24/7, reduce the burden of on-call staffing, and take faster action when operational needs arise.

Built directly into the AxisCare platform, Axi Assist can answer calls, capture information, initiate workflows, and escalate situations when human involvement is needed.

One of its first applications addresses a persistent challenge for home care agencies: caregiver call-offs. When a caregiver calls to report that they cannot make a shift, Axi Assist captures the details and gets the scheduling process moving right away. The capability can also handle calls after hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, helping agencies respond to important issues that might otherwise sit in voicemail until a coordinator is available.

Axi Assist also helps agencies address missed clock-ins through automated caregiver outreach that begins one minute after the start of their shift. The outreach happens within the window where a caregiver can still clock themselves in on time, helping visits stay compliant and billable while reducing the need for office staff to chase down missed clock-ins.

"AI is most valuable when it lives where the work happens and has the context to help people take action," said John Atkinson, CTO & COO of AxisCare. "Axi Assist is a great example of that. It takes repetitive, time-sensitive work off teams' plates while keeping people involved when their judgment and expertise are needed."

Axi Assist is the latest addition to the AxisCare Intelligence AI-Powered Suite, adding to capabilities like Care Analytics and Scheduling, along with the newly introduced AI Form Transcription, expanding AxisCare's vision for an all-in-one, AI-powered System of Action that goes beyond recording what happened to help agencies determine what needs to happen next and move work forward.

"Axi Assist represents where we see AI heading in home care," Atkinson added. "The opportunity isn't adding AI for the sake of AI. It's embedding AI into the workflows agencies already use every day, helping teams take action faster and spend more time focused on delivering the best care possible."

Axi Assist is now available.

About AxisCare: AxisCare is the leading all-in-one operating system for single and multi-location home care agencies, serving more than 4,500 providers across all 50 states and seven countries. Built for Private Pay, Skilled Care, IDD, Medicaid, and VA programs, AxisCare unifies scheduling, care delivery, compliance, billing, and revenue cycle management into a connected System of Action across every stage of care. Through automation, operational intelligence, and a suite of AI-powered capabilities, AxisCare helps agencies streamline operations, strengthen financial performance, accelerate growth, and stay focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional care in the home.

New Capability Brings Discovery, Access Control, and Runtime Protection to Agents, MCP Servers, and Skills Running on Employee Machines

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Noma, the market-leading enterprise AI and agent security platform, today announced expanded endpoint agent security capabilities across the Noma Platform. The endpoint has become one of the largest blind spots in enterprise AI security; with agents, MCP servers, and skills already running on employee laptops carrying the same permissions and credentials as the people who installed them. Noma's new capabilities discover the agents, MCP servers, and skills running on employee machines, enforce access control over what each is allowed to do, and use AI Detection and Response (AI-DR) to block dangerous behavior at runtime. Policy and context now follow each agent between SaaS, homegrown, and endpoint environments, giving security teams one control plane across the entire agent estate.

Developers use coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf to work with source code and production infrastructure. Business users rely on productivity agents such as Claude Cowork to work with documents, browsers, SaaS applications, and internal data. MCP servers and skills extend that reach into databases, repositories, and other systems. Agents can chain those actions together across a session without human approval at every step, and that access already exists before any attacker is ever involved.

The risk does not require an exploit. A security researcher recently found that xAI's Grok Build coding assistant was uploading entire tracked repositories and their full Git history to the provider's cloud, even after being explicitly instructed not to open any files. Approving an agent is not enough. Security teams need a way to find new agents as they arrive and enforce policy while those agents act. Noma's shared Runtime Context Engine ties identity, permissions, policy, and behavior together into one signal.

Discovery and Governance

Endpoint activity leaves local evidence in configuration files, skills directories, connector history, and running processes. Noma connects through the EDR or MDM already in place to turn that evidence into a live inventory of agents, MCP servers, skills and connected accounts across managed devices.  Noma continuously assesses those assets for risks such as secrets in agent instructions, unsandboxed execution and excessive agency.

That inventory feeds directly into Noma Access Control, turning agents and tools already present on employee machines into governed assets. Access Control brings together three capabilities:

- Governed Registry - Every agent, MCP server, and skill receives a clear status: approved, needs review, or blocked, with newly discovered assets entering the registry automatically.

- Identity-Aware Policy - Noma attributes each agent to the human behind it and connects that identity to IdP users and groups, so policy can be enforced by user, group, tool, or organization-wide.

- Tool- and Action-Level Control - Policies can govern the agent, MCP server, skill, individual tool, and action, so read access can stay broadly available while create, update, or delete operations remain limited to a smaller group.

Runtime Protection with AI-DR

AI-DR is Noma's runtime threat protection layer. It monitors the skills, MCP servers, and tools agents actually use, establishes a baseline for agent behavior, and detects prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, malicious intent, tool poisoning, scope violations, and agents drifting from their intent or established behavior. Noma's Contextual Policies extend that protection across full sessions, correlating prompts, tool calls, tool responses, data access, identity and behavior over time. This allows Noma to identify threats that develop across a sequence of otherwise permitted actions. Every detector is independently tunable to monitor, alert, steer, block, mask sensitive data inline, or route an action to a human. Coverage must follow the agent past the laptop, since an approved database or API tool can turn a routine task into mass deletion.

"Agents on the endpoint carry some of the most privileged identities in the company, often unnoticed by security until something goes wrong," said Niv Braun, CEO and Co-Founder of Noma Security. "Extending our access control and AI-DR model to the endpoint means security teams get the same visibility and enforcement they already have across SaaS and homegrown agents, in the place agents are proliferating fastest."

Noma Open Enforcement applies these policies across the architecture organizations already run, including agent hooks, AI and MCP gateways, SDKs, and EDR and MDM, with coverage spanning agents including Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Kiro, Antigravity, and OpenClaw. Organizations start with hundreds of AI-DR policies and protection profiles tuned by industry and agent type, reflecting work with dozens of Fortune 500 security teams. Noma also plans to bring Agent Boundaries, which enforce business-defined limits on agent actions, to the endpoint.

About Noma

Noma is the AI and agent security platform purpose-built for the enterprise. Noma detects behavioral threats, governs what agents are allowed to do, and protects AI across every environment where agents run: homegrown applications built on AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, and Databricks; SaaS agent platforms like Microsoft Copilot Studio and Salesforce AgentForce; and prebuilt agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot running on developer machines. Backed by Evolution Equity Partners, Ballistic Ventures, Glilot Capital, Cyber Club London, Databricks Ventures, and SVCI, Noma is widely adopted by Fortune 500 customers and has been recognized by Gartner as a leader in AI trust, risk, and security management (AI TRiSM).

Teleste Adds Authorized Repair Services to Its Growing North American HFC Ecosystem

Fiber Node Services adds a U.S.-based path for warranty and out-of-warranty repairs, complementing Teleste's established regional manufacturing, assembly, sales and technical support.

TURKU, Finland and CAROL STREAM, Ill., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- North American cable operators now have an additional, manufacturer-authorized route for servicing Teleste Networks hardware. Teleste has appointed and trained Fiber Node Services, Inc. (FNS) as an authorized provider of warranty and out-of-warranty repairs through its U.S. repair network.

The authorization covers all Teleste Networks hardware sold in North America. It adds regional repair to a North American operating footprint that already spans manufacturing, customer-specific assembly, sales and technical support.

Teleste has supported North American operators locally for years through dedicated sales and technical support teams, backed by the company's engineering, manufacturing and supply capabilities in Europe. Its regional footprint also includes high-volume production of the ICON amplifier family through GPV Americas in Mexico and customer-specific assembly at Teleste's New Jersey distribution center.

"For operators, local presence should not end when equipment is delivered," said Steve Condra, Senior Vice President of North America Sales for Teleste. "It should mean capacity when deployments grow, technical expertise when it is needed and a practical repair route throughout the life of the equipment. We have built those capabilities step by step in North America. Authorized service through FNS adds another important layer."

By combining production in Europe and Mexico with assembly in the United States, Teleste can increase available output, shorten transportation paths for North American deliveries and retain multiple supply options as demand changes. FNS adds qualified U.S. repair capacity connected directly to Teleste's product and engineering expertise.

FNS has specialized in the diagnostics, repair and refurbishment of CATV broadband equipment for more than 30 years. Following qualification and product-specific training by Teleste, its technicians are authorized to diagnose, repair and test Teleste Networks hardware according to Teleste's procedures and requirements.

"Effective repair depends on more than having a repair bench close to the customer," said Zoran Beric, CEO and President of Fiber Node Services. "It takes broadband experience, product-specific knowledge and a direct connection to the manufacturer. Our teams have already provided repair services for Teleste equipment in North America, and this authorization builds on that work. We will continue giving operators regional support for both warranty and out-of-warranty needs."

Together, these capabilities give North American operators a shorter path to the products, people and services behind their networks—from supply and configuration through technical support and repair—while retaining access to Teleste's broader global engineering, manufacturing and supply resources.

About Fiber Node Services

Fiber Node Services, Inc. (FNS) was founded in 1993 and specializes in diagnostics, repair, refurbishment and calibration services for CATV broadband equipment. Headquartered in Carol Stream, Illinois, FNS operates repair facilities across the United States and provides services to broadband operators and equipment manufacturers.

Beginning with 20 portraits from Kenya and followed by the Philippines, the five-country project advances inclusive imaging toward a deeper human understanding of the people behind the image, exploring different ways of seeing people and the individual stories that shape their lives.

HONG KONG, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TECNO and internationally acclaimed visual artist Angélica Dass today unveiled the "100 Portraits of Becoming," a two-year global portrait project spanning Kenya, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Brazil.

Launching with the first 20 portraits and personal stories from Kenya, the project will ultimately bring together 100 individuals and 100 distinct stories of identity, choice, change and growth. It builds on TECNO's long-term work in inclusive imaging, where truthful representation begins with ensuring that people across different skin tones can be rendered naturally, fairly and accurately.

The Kenya chapter of this project is now live. As AI increasingly shapes how people are captured, recognized and represented, "100 Portraits of Becoming" extends the conversation beyond inclusive representation of human diversity toward a better understanding of the people's individuality behind the image.

Each participant brings a personal perspective shaped by their own experiences, opening a different way of seeing humanity rather than standing in for a generation, a culture or a single definition of progress.

A Shared Human-Centered Vision

"100 Portraits of Becoming" grew from a shared belief between TECNO and Dass: both technology and portraiture should begin with respect for the person in front of the lens. Universal Tone was developed around a clear imaging challenge of inclusivity— how to represent people across diverse skin tones more naturally and accurately — but behind that technical work is a broader human value: differences should be represented faithfully rather than flattened into a single standard. That belief closely resonates with Dass's long-standing practice of questioning labels and inviting viewers to see the individual beyond appearance.

How people are seen shapes how people are understood. As AI becomes increasingly capable of recognizing faces, generating images and organizing people into categories, the deeper challenge for imaging is to reflect the complexity, individuality and humanity of the person being seen.

"100 Portraits of Becoming" expands that conversation beyond visual representation, creating space for individual stories and encounters. It is not simply an archive of photographs, but a growing record of human possibilities: people defining themselves beyond inherited labels, social expectations or predetermined categories.

Reflecting on the Kenya chapter, Angélica Dass said, "Kenya showed me that meaningful portraits are never created by technology alone. They begin with trust, with listening, and with the generosity of the people who choose to stand in front of the camera. The camera is simply the tool that allows those encounters to be shared."

For TECNO, this marks the next step in a long-held belief about imaging: technology should be inclusive and help people be represented accurately and seen more truthfully. "Truthful representation is the foundation of genuine human understanding," said Jack Guo, General Manager, TECNO. "Every image shapes assumptions – why it matters, who matters and how people are understood. That makes fair and accurate representation increasingly important in the AI era. But beyond representation lies a bigger question: who is the real person behind the image or the labels put on him or her?"

Kenya Opens the First Chapter

The first chapter of "100 Portraits of Becoming" begins in Kenya, where participants explore what it means to define their own lives. Across the opening 20 stories, participants question ideas that often seem settled — what success looks like, where opportunity comes from, who gets to occupy space, what makes a career meaningful, and ultimately who has the right to define a life.

Alex Mutua Muli's story begins with going back home and creating opportunities for people to stay. Growing up, he watched fruit from his community go to waste because farmers lacked reliable markets. Many young people choose to leave for bigger cities. Instead of leaving to look for opportunities elsewhere, he stayed and co-founded Goshen Farm Exporters, helping connect the local community to larger markets and turning staying into a more viable future.

Alexander Odhiambo approached opportunity from a different place. After a difficult start to his career, he and his friends built a software company from a small Nairobi apartment. What began as creating an opportunity for themselves gradually grew into a business serving African markets and opening new paths for local talent.

Jelimo Cheboi's story is about creating space. When she took up skateboarding in 2022, she quickly found herself in a scene with little room for women. She went on to co-found GirlSkate Nairobi, growing a WhatsApp group into a community where girls and women could skate, connect and express themselves more freely.

Alex, Alexander and Jelimo are three of 20 people in the Kenya chapter. Their stories are different, but they share a common instinct: they do not simply accept the definitions handed to them — of where opportunity should be found, what a career should look like, who gets to belong, or what is possible. Some define themselves on their own terms. Some choose a path others might not expect. Some build new ways forward where none existed. Others expand what becomes possible for the people around them.

Together, these stories show what it can mean to define a life on one's own terms: to decide who you are, choose how you move forward, build what you need, and widen the possibilities for others. In the Kenya chapter, becoming begins with refusing to let the world have the final word on who you can be.

From Kenya to a Global Conversation

Kenya is the first chapter of "100 Portraits of Becoming," but the project is designed to evolve as it moves across countries. Each location brings its own social context, lived experiences and questions about identity, expectations and possibility.

In the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Brazil, TECNO and Dass will continue meeting people whose stories reveal different ways of becoming — how they navigate labels, make choices, create new paths and reshape what feels possible in their own lives and communities.

Rather than applying one definition across cultures, "100 Portraits of Becoming" explores what can be learned by placing distinct individual stories side by side. Through these encounters, TECNO and Dass aim to build a broader conversation about how people want to be seen, understood and remembered in an increasingly technology-shaped world.

Next Chapter: Beyond Many Labels in the Philippines

Following Kenya, "100 Portraits of Becoming" will continue in the Philippines with "Beyond Many Labels," featuring 20 individuals, including working solo mothers and people whose lives are closely connected to solo parenthood. Their portraits and stories look beyond societal labels such as "single mother," "breadwinner" or "strong woman," revealing self-growth, relationships, ambitions and everyday choices those labels can often take away.

The chapter will also explore how participants understand and practice diskarte — the ways they adapt, make choices and find practical ways forward in work, family and everyday life.

Looking ahead to the next chapter in the Philippines, Dass said, "Kenya was an extraordinary beginning to this journey. Every encounter reminded me that each place has its own stories, its own rhythms and its own beauty. I'm excited to arrive in the Philippines with the same curiosity, ready to listen, learn and discover the people who will shape the next chapter of '100 Portraits of Becoming'."

One Hundred People, One Hundred Ways to See Humanity

After the Philippines, the journey will continue to Saudi Arabia later this year, followed by Türkiye and Brazil in the coming year, with each chapter adding its own cultural perspective to the project. As the collection grows, each participant will remain distinctly their own: one identity, one story and one life that does not need to stand in for an entire country, generation or community.

By the end of the two-year journey, "100 Portraits of Becoming" will form a global portrait of humanity precisely by refusing to define humanity in only one way: not one answer to what it means to be human, but one hundred ways to see it.

TrendAI Vision One™ pairs hardware-level detection on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and network security with Zero Day Initiative™ threat intelligence, helping enterprises safely move agent fleets from pilot to production

DALLAS, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TrendAI™, the global leader in AI security and business unit from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced its support for the NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform, NVIDIA's full-stack infrastructure for running autonomous AI agents safely at enterprise scale. As organizations move autonomous, self-evolving agents into production, TrendAI™ and NVIDIA are aligned on a clear principle: no single control makes an agent secure. Security must be built into every layer the agent depends on.

AI agents are made up of three core components: the model that reasons, the harness that orchestrates the agent and its sub-agents, and the tools and data the agent can reach. Together, they let an agent hold credentials, remember context across sessions and act on production systems without a human approving each step. As enterprises scale from a handful of pilots to fleets of agents spanning teams and business units, security is now a critical control and often becomes the deciding factor in whether agentic AI reaches production.

The NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform places authority in the infrastructure beneath the agent. According to NVIDIA, OpenShell enforces policy outside the agent's execution environment, where it cannot be prompted away or bypassed, while NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs and NVIDIA DOCA add a host-independent security layer in silicon. TrendAI™ complements that enforcement layer with the intelligence that informs what the policy should be, the visibility to see what agents are doing, and the threat detection and response to act on it.

"Agentic AI is the most significant shift in enterprise technology in a generation, and security needs and guardrails are in place to keep the agents aligned with the intentions of the organization," said Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™. "Security can't sit in one place. It has to cover the model, the harness, and every tool and data source an agent touches. NVIDIA is building the boundary that determines what an agent can do. TrendAI™ brings the threat intelligence and oversight that tell security teams what that boundary should be, and what is happening inside it. Together, we give organizations a practical path to scale agentic AI securely."

How TrendAI ™ supports the NVIDIA Agent Safety Platform

TrendAI Vision One™ extends NVIDIA's agent safeguards across the whole AI factory, covering agents, models, containers, storage and networks on one platform:

- Model protection. Inline inspection of prompts and responses blocks prompt injection and jailbreaks and redacts sensitive data before it leaks.

- Harness and tool governance. Security teams control which tools and MCP servers agents can reach, inspect every tool call, and analyze how skills and AI artifacts behave at runtime.

- Data and identity controls. TrendAI Vision One™ finds and classifies the sensitive data that feeds AI, stops agents from reaching data they shouldn't, extends file security and data loss prevention to the files agents read and write, and strips excess privilege from agents and other non-human identities.

- Hardware-rooted detection and response. Using NVIDIA BlueField DPU and DOCA telemetry, TrendAI Vision One™ detection stays trustworthy even if the host OS is compromised, and correlates AI signals with endpoint, network, and identity telemetry so a hijacked agent cannot move laterally unseen.

Together, TrendAI™ and NVIDIA are leading the future of AI with proactive security designed to inspire innovation and eliminate risk.
