This recognition highlights Penta Security's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Penta Security excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. "Penta Security exemplifies the qualities that define market leadership in today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. The company combines advanced technological capabilities, forward-looking strategic direction, and a strong commitment to customer success to create a compelling competitive advantage," said Ying Ting Neoh, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

As security requirements expand across cloud-native environments, APIs, and AI-driven threat landscapes, we remain focused on delivering practical, high-performance security solutions that enable our customers to operate with confidence" said Jihae Lee, CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) of Penta Security.
Penta Security's unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its position in the market. Through flexible deployment models--including appliance-based, software-based, cloud, and SaaS offerings--the company enables organizations to adopt security architectures aligned with their operational requirements and digital transformation strategies. Its life cycle-oriented approach, spanning pre-deployment consulting, architecture design, implementation, monitoring, incident response, and ongoing optimization, helps customers maximize operational value while ensuring resilience in mission-critical environments. This customer-centric strategy has contributed to strong adoption across government, financial services, healthcare, and enterprise sectors while fostering long-term customer trust and satisfaction.
Frost & Sullivan commends Penta Security for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's vision, innovation pipeline, and customer-first culture are shaping the future of the WAF industry and driving tangible results at scale. In 2025, Penta Security achieved a steady double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in its WAF business, underscoring the company's ability to translate innovation into measurable business outcomes while reinforcing customer confidence in its technology and services.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition honors forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

NEW YORK, June 30 -- The National Multiple Sclerosis Society issued the following news:

Researchers Develop New Tool That May Help Predict Future Course of MS
A new study shows that information collected when MS symptoms first appear may help estimate risk of future disease activity and disability.
Background: MS affects each person differently, making it difficult to predict who will have worsening symptoms, relapses, or disease progression. Improving these predictions could help guide effective treatment decisions and support more personalized care.
The Study: An international groupof researchers developed a new tool called Spider-MS to estimate the risk of several long-term MS outcomes - such as relapses, changes on imaging scans (MRI), disability worsening, and disease progression.
Researchers developed Spider-MS using information from 1,180 people in Spain and then tested it in a separate group of 108 people in Australia. The tool was created using information collected at the time of a person's first MS-related symptoms, including results from medical exams, MRI scans, spinal fluid tests, and treatment history.
Results: The Spider-MS tool showed that certain factors were linked to a higher risk of worse outcomes, including:
* Older age
* Spinal cord involvement
* Higher number of lesions on MRI
* Certain immune markers found in spinal fluid
Longer use of disease-modifying therapies - especially high-efficacy treatments - was associated with a lower risk of worse outcomes.
Overall, the tool was able to identify populations that were more likely to develop future disease activity or disability.
Why Does This Matter? More research is needed before Spider-MS could be used in clinical care at an individual level. However, predictive tools like this could help healthcare providers choose treatments more effectively, identify people at higher risk earlier, and support better long-term outcomes through more personalized care.

Through the Pathways to Cures research roadmap, the National MS Society supports research like this to improve risk prediction and precision medicine - helping get the right treatment to the right person at the right time.
Researchers are studying how to identify people at the highest risk of developing MS. Learn more about one study here.

"This is such welcome news for corn farmers. Fertilizer represents one of the biggest expenses for farms every year, only made worse inrecent years by actions of companies looking to further consolidate their control of the market. Input prices generally have been incredibly high and are a major contributing factor to the profitability picture, or lack thereof, for corn farmers right now.
"Thank you, President Trump, for recognizing the economic outlook facing American farmers right now and taking steps to alleviate some of that pressure. This is an important step as the sunset review and the anti-trust investigations are taking place."

JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri, June 30 (TNSletter) -- Clean Fuels Alliance America issued the following letter to President Trump on the implementation of the administration's Renewable Fuel Standard volumes for 2026 and 2027:
* * *
Here is the text of the letter:
June 15, 2026
The Hon. President Donald J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President,
Today, June 15, is the effective date for the Renewable Fuel Standard Volumes for 2026 and 2027 published on April 1. We write to thank you and your administration again for finalizing this historicRFS rule. Already, there is evidence that U.S. biodiesel and renewable diesel producers are responding to the market signal and generating huge economic impacts for America's rural communities and farmers.
Clean Fuels Alliance America is the largest trade association for the U.S. biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel supply chain, including producers, feedstock suppliers and fuel distributors. We applaud the Environmental Protection Agency's RFS rule for underscoring that higher volumes spur increased employment opportunities, economic benefits for rural communities, and future rate of biodiesel and renewable diesel production.
EPA's rule fully accounts for the investments our industry made over the last several years to increase U.S. biomass-based diesel capacity and oilseed processing. The U.S. soybean industry this year and next expects to crush 57% of the domestic crop, up from 52% in 2024, to meet demand for biomass-based diesel. That means the industry will reduce its reliance on foreign buyers like China. The rule is encouraging additional investments in rural economies, such as grain handling, fuel distribution infrastructure, and new markets for the fuel. Most importantly, EPA acknowledged that American companies will make additional investments only if the policy direction remains certain.
We are pleased to share with you early news of market growth, investments, and infrastructure projects that are moving forward because of the certainty provided by the 2026-2027 RFS rule:
* Western Iowa Energy in Wall Lake, Iowa - which stopped production in 2025 and laid off 25% of its workforce due to uncertainty - is now running at full capacity. The plant currently produces 45 million gallons of biodiesel annually and employs 30 Iowans.
* In April, U.S. biodiesel and renewable diesel production reached the highest capacity utilization rates since 2024 - topping 70%. With policy uncertainty carrying over from the previous administration, biodiesel producers ran at just 56% capacity on average in 2025.
* The Energy Information Administration projects that U.S. renewable diesel production will increase 24% and biodiesel production will increase 41% in 2026, compared with 2025.
* In March, biomass-based diesel production utilized all-time record amounts of domestic soy oil (1.28 billion lbs.) and distillers corn oil (432 million lbs.). Distillers corn oil is a coproduct of rising domestic ethanol production.
* In April, U.S. oilseed processors crushed 218 million bushels of domestic soy, up 8% from April 2025, and produced 2.53 billion lbs. of oil, up 5% from a year ago, according to USDA.
* Processors also crushed more than 200 thousand metric tons of canola - up by 33% compared to April 2025 - producing 25.3 billion lbs. of oil, per USDA.
* With recent investments, North Dakota oilseed processors are now crushing 100 million bushels of soybeans each year - 45% of the state's annual production. By contrast, in 2016 North Dakota shipped 70% of its whole, unprocessed soybeans directly to China.
* Recently built Norfolk Crush is now running at capacity, processing 2,000 acres of Nebraska-grown soybeans every day. With recent investments, Nebraska now processes 75% of the state's soybeans each year.
* In May, U.S. beef tallow and used cooking oil values reached the highest level since November 2022, according to Fastmarkets.
* In May, Consolidated Grain and Barge broke ground on a $47 million expansion at Ports of Indiana-Mount Vernon, which will triple the facility's grain handling and truck unloading capacity and increase storage volume by 4.25 million bushels per year.
* Also in May, Rhoads Energy broke ground on a rail facility in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, to deliver biodiesel at Red Rose Midstream terminal. This will significantly lower transportation costs and yield fuel savings for consumers, according to the company.
We agree with Administrator Lee Zeldin that this year's rule realigns the RFS program with Congress' original intent to increase production and use of homegrown biofuels, support America's farmers, and promote U.S. energy dominance. Farmers and biomass-based diesel producers are essential to U.S. energy and national security; and they are putting major investments behind it.
Regrettably, certain refiners are suing EPA in opposition to the goals of U.S. energy dominance, farm security, and rural prosperity. In the week following the American Fuel & Petrochemicals Manufacturers press announcement of a lawsuit over the RFS volumes, the price that American farmers earn for their soybeans fell by $0.30 per bushel - a 2.6% loss of the value that the RFS volumes support. We plan to strongly defend the RFS program and the agricultural economy against refiner attacks. We look forward to providing more and more evidence in the coming months that the 2026-2027 Renewable Fuel Standard rule is delivering the anticipated economic benefits for Americans.
Sincerely,
Kurt Kovarik, Vice President, Federal Affairs, Clean Fuels Alliance America
CC: The Hon. Lee Zeldin, Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, Office of the Administrator, 1101A,
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20460

Trump Religious Liberty Commission Report Provides Pathway to Christian Nationalism
"Appalling and un-American to its core"
-
Late Friday, the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission, a group established in 2025 to "offer diverse perspectives on how the Federal Government can defend religious liberty for all Americans," released its draft report, which outlines a plan to erode foundational First Amendment protections for the American people.
Among other recommendations,the Trump administration's report urges the government to repeal the Johnson Amendment - the provision that prevents houses of worship from engaging in political activities, as well as nominate federal judges hostile to the idea of church-state separation.
Rachel Deitch, Policy and Political Director for the American Humanist Association provided the following statement in response: "This report is appalling and un-American to its core. The Trump Administration is no longer being coy about its plan to do away with the Establishment Clause and remake the U.S. Government in its Christian Nationalist image. This is a direct escalation in the series of attacks this administration has made against our nation's foundational values of religious freedom and church-state separation."
Earlier this month, the American Humanist Association, in coalition with Center for American Progress (CAP), Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and Interfaith Alliance, released a report - penned by a diverse, inclusive group of leaders, on what religious liberty should look like on the 250th anniversary of the country's founding, as a prebuttal to the Religious Liberty Commission's then-forthcoming report.

The American Humanist Association (AHA) works to protect the rights of humanists, atheists, and other nontheistic Americans. The AHA advances the ethical and life-affirming worldview of humanism, which--without beliefs in gods or other supernatural forces--encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
