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."

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City's perfect start to the Premier League ended in a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa, allowing Arsenal to move level on points atop the standings on Saturday.
Also, Tottenham sealed its second win this week by beating 10-man Chelsea 2-0.
Nicolas Jackson scored both goals for Villa against a City that was aiming for an eighth straight league win. Victory extended Villa’s outstanding recent run to six wins from seven games in all competitions.
“It is incredible," Jackson said. "It was difficult but we got the win and that is the most important thing. Now we can focus on the next one.”
After City's defeat in the early kickoff, defending champion Arsenal took advantage by beating Everton 2-0 at Emirates Stadium.
Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes scored in each half for Mikel Arteta's team, which is second on goal difference.
Spurs, without a league win until Monday against Coventry, followed that with a rare victory at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders inadvertently punched the ball into his own net and gave Spurs the lead and Cole Palmer was sent off soon after. Tottenham's win was sealed late by Mathys Tel.
Meanwhile, Fulham beat Coventry 1-0.
Konsa scored his first goal for Arsenal since joining from Villa at the start of the season and ended the champion's run of 13 games without scoring from a set-piece.
Last season's title victory relied heavily on Arsenal's scoring efficiency from corners, in particular, but Konsa's scrambled goal after seven minutes was its first in any competition this term, excluding penalties.
“A goal from a set-piece has felt like it has been coming. Today was the day,” Konsa said.
Gabriel was also on target, heading in the second in the 68th for his first of the campaign.
After showing its Champions League credentials with a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich midweek, Arsenal strengthened its title defense with victory against Everton to move to neck and neck with City, with just goal difference separating them.
“We’re very happy with the victory, the performance and the week, because we were given a terrible schedule,” Arteta said. “We just have to focus on what we can do, and we’re very pleased with 90% of the performances and results.”
Villa is rapidly climbing the standings after a desperate start to the campaign saw it fail to win its opening four games and picked up just one point.
The difficult start was understandable after a hugely disruptive offseason when a raft of star players left the club including Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Konsa, Emi Martinez and Youri Tielemans.
Unai Emery, who transformed the club from relegation battler to Champions League contender, was forced to rebuild a team that won the Europa League last season, and has done that in double-quick time.
Villa's last defeat was on Sept. 12, to Nottingham Forest 2-1. Since then Emery's team is unbeaten.
Jackson is up to seven goals in all competitions. He fired the opener inside six minutes at Villa Park.
Erling Haaland headed City level in the second half, but Jackson got his second and the winner with a first-time finish that squirmed under goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
City fell to a fourth defeat at Villa Park in as many seasons.
“Emery is just a tactical genius. Especially against Man City at our place we have been really good," Villa defender Matty Cash said. “He always has a plan for something and is always coming up with new ideas. When you play against top teams you have to adapt and we did that today.”
Maresca said City would learn lessons from its first league defeat.
The Italian enjoyed a perfect start in England's top flight since succeeding Pep Guardiola in the offseason.
Villa joined Arsenal and European champion Paris Saint-Germain as the only teams to beat City in any competition this season.
“I don’t think we deserved to lose today, but we lost,” Maresca said. “You can always learn something.”
Oscar Bobb scored in the 80th to seal victory for Fulham at Coventry.
