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."

ATLANTA (AP) — England desperately wanted to protect its lead as time was winding down in the World Cup semifinals. Coach Thomas Tuchel made lineup and strategy changes to build a wall in front of goal.
Argentina and Lionel Messi simply kicked it down.
England led 1-0 late in the second half before Messi assisted on goals by Enzo Fernandez in the 85th minute and Lautaro Martinez in the second minute of injury time to give Argentina a wild 2-1 victory Wednesday and a spot in the World Cup final against Spain.
Tuchel's tactical choices in one of the biggest matchups in one of soccer's biggest rivalries will likely be scrutinized and criticized for years. England missed its chance to return to the World Cup final for the first time since 1966.
“They won every header. They kept crossing and crossing. So we went to a back five to close the gaps inside and be stronger in the air,” Tuchel said.
“Straight after our goal, with no substitutions, we just conceded way too many crosses and way too many chances. So we tried to help,” Tuchel said. “But of course the responsibility is on the coach. And … if it doesn’t go well, it’s easy to say that it was wrong.”
Tuchel’s chess moves just couldn’t contain Messi, the maestro of Argentina’s attacks.
England's loss marked only the second time this century that the team that scored first in a World Cup semifinal match did not reach the final, according to Opta. The other team was also England in 2018 against Croatia.
England took the lead on Anthony Gordon's goal in the 55th minute. But Argentina quickly switched the momentum with furious pressure on England's defense.
To protect the lead, England drew closer and closer to its own goal, hoping to build the sort of impenetrable wall it had when it held on to beat Mexico in the round of 16 despite being down to 10 players.
Tuchel swapped defender Reece James for Dan Burn, and midfielder Declan Rice for defender Nico O’Reilly in the 82nd minute.
“We played a good game for the large majority of it. Once we went 1-0 up, we seemed to just try and hold on, which at this level is not enough,” England striker Harry Kane said. “Just gutted, gutted. Because we’ve worked so hard to get here.”
Fernandez struck barely three minutes after the England substitutions, scoring on a precision right-footed strike from just outside the penalty area. Messi set up the play with a pass to his teammate's feet and England defenders failed to close him down before he ripped the shot that curled past diving goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
Argentina kept coming and England's wall kept crumbling. The defending champions hit the crossbar and missed another header across the mouth of the goal before Martinez finally sealed it with a powerful close-range header when England defenders lost him on a cross from Messi.
“They got tired,” Martinez said. "They pressed for 60 minutes and then just ran out of steam. They got their goal and then sat back. That gave us more composure to move the ball around and stretch the pitch.”
