SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2026--
Versa, the global leader in unified security and networking, today announced Versa Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), extending the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform to provide continuous visibility, prioritization, and remediation of cloud risk across environments. The announcement was made at Versa’s annual Versatility conference, held May 11–13, 2026, in Santa Clara.

With CSPM, Versa combines secure access protection and cloud posture risk on a single platform, delivering the visibility security teams need to quantify and reduce enterprise cyber exposure.
For years, security has evolved in silos. Access is protected, but cloud misconfiguration risk remains fragmented and hard to see. Access security alone is not enough. Versa CSPM adds continuous visibility into the cloud risks that cause most breaches.
From Secure Access to Unified Risk Intelligence
Versa CSPM continuously identifies, assesses, prioritizes and remediates misconfigurations and compliance risks across major multi-cloud environments, including Google Cloud Platform, Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It continuously evaluates cloud configurations in real time, checks them against widely used security standards, and prioritizes risks based on severity and exposure — not alert volume. Security teams can drill down from high-level dashboards to specific resources and remediation actions.
Combined with Versa Universal SASE, the platform brings cloud posture risk and access risk into a more unified operational view across the enterprise, helping close visibility gaps created by fragmented point tools.
"Cloud risk and access risk are two sides of the same exposure, and security teams cannot afford to manage them in separate tools," said Anusha Vaidyanathan, Senior Director, Product Management, Versa. "Most enterprises today look at access and cloud posture through entirely different consoles, with no shared context. Versa CSPM brings them together on a single platform, extending the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform with continuous cloud risk assessment alongside our existing access protection, so security teams can quantify and reduce enterprise exposure faster, with less complexity."

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Kyiv on Sunday in their first official visit to Ukraine as part of a renewed push for peace after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Their arrival marks a new phase in U.S. efforts to broker peace, a day after Kushner and Witkoff traveled to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin that lasted more than three hours.
Kyiv has so far rejected Russia’s maximalist demand that Ukraine withdraw from parts of the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions that remain under Ukrainian control. Washington’s push to end the fighting had lost momentum as U.S. attention has been focused for the past six months on the Iran war.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to arrive in Kyiv on Sunday for their first visit to the Ukrainian capital, as part of a renewed push for peace after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The visit follows a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, seeking to revive peace talks during escalating aerial attacks by both sides.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that Kyiv is ready for a “constructive” discussion with U.S. representatives.
“We are interested in bringing the end of the war closer. Peace is needed. Security guarantees are needed. A just and sustainable postwar peace is needed. Our proposals are prepared,” he said in a post on Telegram.
Washington’s push to end the fighting has lost momentum, with the United States focused for the past six months on the Iran war. The last known visit to Moscow by Witkoff and Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, was in January when they also held talks with Putin at the Kremlin.
Saturday's meeting in Moscow lasted more than three hours behind closed doors and ended without announcements of any breakthroughs. Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, described them afterward as constructive, frank, and useful but didn’t discuss specific outcomes.
While Moscow offered its “comprehensive assessment” of the battlefield situation in Ukraine, Ushakov said, the talks were not purely focused on the war in Ukraine.
“Economic issues and potentially large, mutually beneficial joint projects for Russia and America were discussed in considerable detail,” he said.
The air war between Russia and Ukraine has intensified as troops have struggled to make progress along the 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) front line. Russia has recently been using fast-flying, jet-powered drones, and the recurring wail of air-raid sirens has become part of daily life in Kyiv.
Putin and Zelenskyy had agreed to pause strikes on each other’s capitals while the talks take place. Still, the two traded fire overnight into Sunday, officials said.
Russian attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions killed one person and injured at least 10 others overnight into Sunday, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.
In Zaporizhzhia, drone strikes killed a 74-year-old man and wounded three people, while a drone damaged an apartment building, injuring seven people, in the Khmelnytskyi region.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Sunday 82 drones out of the 108 launched by Russia overnight, along with six missiles, were intercepted.
In Russia, a man was killed and a woman seriously wounded when a Ukrainian drone struck a vehicle, local authorities in the Belgorod border region said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday that its air defenses overnight shot down 258 Ukrainian drones over 14 Russian regions, occupied Crimea and the waters of the Black and Azov seas.
In Kyiv on Sunday, dozens gathered for a nationwide 9 a.m. moment of silence honoring Ukraine’s fallen soldiers, a daily ritual held in cities across the country. Among them was Nataliia Lipei, 67, whose son Viktor was killed in December 2022. Despite a health condition, she has traveled from city to city to take part, and she said she hopes the talks in Moscow and Kyiv will finally bring an end to the war.
“I hope these steps and these meetings will definitely produce results, because there has been so much bloodshed and so many deaths here that we have to stop all of this,” she told The Associated Press.
Not everyone shared her hope for the talks. Oleksandr Pastukhov, 27, a video editor who joined the commemoration, was skeptical the envoys’ visit would change anything.
“We’ve already seen delegations like this come here before,” he said. “We’ve seen this so-called ceasefire for three days, which ended after just a couple of hours, and now we’re supposed to naively think that two people will come and change something.”
