Wyndham opens its first-ever Cave Hotel in Türkiye
The hotel offers diverse dining options through its 68-seat cave restaurant, breakfast room, and terrace bar. Guests can enjoy authentic local specialties such as Sineson Tava and St. Theodoros Köfte made with recipes exclusive to the Ürgüp region or take in panoramic views of Mustafapaşa from the bar's terrace. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its world-renowned fairy chimneys, awe-inspiring landscape, rock-cut churches and underground dwellings, Cappadocia has welcomed over 4 million visitors last year, including over 1 million staying guests.
Owned and operated by Honest Holding, Signature Cave Cappadocia represents the group's second Wyndham-branded property, following last year's opening of Ramada Resort by Wyndham Pamukkale Thermal.
'The Signature Cave Cappadocia, Trademark Collection by Wyndham isn't just another hotel opening, it's a story waiting to be experienced. Sleeping in a centuries-old cave, dining beneath stone-carved ceilings, and waking up to the magic of Cappadocia is the kind of travel moment people dream of and share on social media. We're incredibly proud to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to life with Honest Holding, as we continue to grow in places that inspire, surprise, and connect with travellers on a deeper level.'
– Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

Palo Alto Networks And Okta Join Hands For AI Identity Security
Okta and Palo Alto Networks have announced an expanded partnership with new integrations to deliver a unified security architecture, enabling customers to automate threat response, secure application access on any device, and reduce security attacks grow more sophisticated and demand real-time response, verifying who accesses data and from what device has become essential to protecting it. The native integration between Okta Workforce Identity and Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser creates a new conditional access method to restrict access to SSO apps by using only the secure browser. A second integration between Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI and Palo Alto Networks AI-driven Cortex SecOps platform provides organizations with a unified view of identity-related risks across their entire attack surface. This integration extends to Cortex XSIAM® and Cortex XDR®, creating a comprehensive response to the most advanced attacks. 'AI is supercharging attacks on user credentials, requiring a 'fight AI with AI' approach that brings identity directly into an organization's security infrastructure for a real-time and unified response,' said Stephen Lee, VP of Technology Partnerships at Okta. 'With Palo Alto Networks, Okta is proud to enhance the interoperability of our AI-powered platforms to prevent risks of siloed tools, providing nearly 2000 joint customers with a comprehensive view of their security posture, context-aware access controls, and secure authentication to stay ahead of today's threats.' 'Identity plays a critical role in cybersecurity,' said Pam Cyr, VP of Technical Partnerships at Palo Alto Networks. 'Our deep integrations with Okta ensure that our solutions are engineered to work together, making it easier for our customers to achieve higher levels of security and user experience. These new integrations, from securing application access with Prisma Access Browser to providing unified protection against identity threats through our Cortex platform, empower organizations with comprehensive, AI-driven defense.' These two new integrations help provide a clear, integrated path for joint customers to confidently secure their operations while reducing costs and complexity: Securing Access on Any Device: With Okta Workforce Identity and Prisma Access Browser, enterprises now have a critical layer of defense for web-based activity. Employees can now securely access corporate web applications and data from managed or unmanaged devices without compromising enterprise security. Users will benefit from a secure, consistent, seamless, and fast browsing experience, while security teams gain enhanced visibility and control over SaaS and web application usage.

Unified Identity Threat Detection and Automated Response: The integration of Okta's Identity Threat Protection solution with Cortex XSIAM and Cortex XDR enables dynamic enforcement of additional authentication for risky access and user activity. It triggers immediate, automated responses to threats such as revoking user access, ending active sessions, and quarantining endpoints. 'CISOs are clear: to move at pace with the threat landscape, security teams need integrated platforms, not just more solutions. With the rapid adoption of cloud services, SaaS applications, remote work, and now the advent of AI, organizations are being challenged by added complexity and gaps in security tools,' said Maxine Holt, Vice President, Enterprise & Channel Research at Omdia. 'By unifying their offerings, Okta and Palo Alto Networks are helping customers streamline operations, reduce complexity, and improve coverage of the attack surface.'

Seagate Launches 30TB Drives for AI and Edge Storage
Home » Emerging technologies » Storage » Seagate Launches 30TB Drives for AI and Edge Storage Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX), a mass-capacity data storage, announced the global availability of its 30TB Exos® M and IronWolf® Pro hard drives. These drives are built on Seagate's Mozaic 3+™ platform and use heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. The new solutions are designed to meet rising demand for scalable, high-performance storage driven by AI deployments and evolving enterprise infrastructure needs. Seagate revealed that over one million Mozaic hard drives have already been shipped. This milestone highlights the strength and maturity of the company's advanced storage technology. Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Services at Seagate, said AI workloads are reshaping global data flows and accelerating demand for efficient, high-capacity storage. She noted that Seagate's 30TB drives address these trends by delivering capacity, efficiency, and resilience. Industry experts agree that hyperscalers and enterprise data centers are ramping up AI infrastructure investments. Ed Burns, Research Director at IDC, stated that high-capacity HDDs are now seen as a critical asset for storing foundational data required to build high-quality AI models. Key insights include: HPE forecasts the on-prem AI market will grow at a 90% CAGR, reaching $42 billion in three years. NVIDIA describes 'AI factories' as data centers designed to transform data into intelligence at scale. As AI adoption grows, storage modernization is becoming foundational. Seagate's 30TB Exos M drive is engineered to meet demand for high-capacity, energy-efficient storage. It enables real-time edge analytics and supports scalable infrastructure without compromising performance or sustainability. The company also reported that industries like retail, manufacturing, and financial services are actively using edge AI for video analytics, fraud detection, and predictive maintenance. This shift is driving interest in disaggregated storage, which decouples compute and storage for more flexibility. With NAS systems evolving into intelligent data hubs, Seagate's IronWolf Pro 30TB drive is optimized for on-premise AI workloads. These include video analysis, image recognition, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). According to recent projections, the global NAS market is expected to grow at over 17% CAGR through 2034. Digital transformation and AI-driven analytics are fueling this growth. Dhaval Panara, Product Manager at QNAP, said QNAP NAS systems using IronWolf Pro 30TB drives enable enterprises to run local AI models and manage large datasets with speed and reliability. Evan Li, Head of International Business at UGREEN, added that Seagate's high-capacity drives provide the scalability and operational stability needed for AI at the edge. Seagate continues to advance its HAMR roadmap to meet growing storage needs in AI-driven environments.
