From June 20-24, Hundreds of Veterans and Volunteers Join Forces to Transform Communities with High-Impact Projects TAMPA, Fla., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mission Continues, a veteran service and volunteer organization that deploys veterans across the U.S. to help under-resourced communities, will be deploying hundreds of veterans to Tampa for their ninth annual Mass Deployment. From Friday, June 20, 2025 – Tuesday, June 24, 2025, veterans and volunteers will work on high-impact projects to improve communities across the Greater Tampa Area. Each summer, The Mission Continues (TMC) organizes massive community projects in one United States city. In previous years, The Mission Continues has conducted Mass Deployments in San Antonio, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and various other cities throughout the country. In 2024, more than 1,200 volunteers took part in the Mass Deployment in San Antonio, working on improvements at five community sites. Veterans and volunteer teams are dispatched to the city to undertake projects aimed at enhancing the region, such as constructing community gardens, renovating schools, painting women's shelters, improving homeless shelters and executing various other essential initiatives. This year projects will take place at the Volunteers of America Florida – James Cole Village (VOAF), The Sustainable Living Project, Sunrise Children's Services, Tampa Parks and Recreation: MLK Recreation Complex with West Tampa Grows Healthy Garden, Sweetwater Organic Community Farm, and Town and Country Elementary School. "We're thrilled to bring Mass Deployment to Tampa—a city with a proud military history, a strong sense of community and a spirit of resilience," said Annie Hudson, Chief Programs Officer of The Mission Continues. "Mass Deployment leaves a lasting impact on communities. It strengthens regions and builds meaningful connections between veterans and volunteers." Tampa has deep ties to the military and veteran communities and, according to the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs, more than 120,000 veterans live in the Tampa Bay region and there are more than 12,000 active-duty personnel at MacDill Air Force Base. For Army veteran and TMC Tampa Platoon Leader, Tara Tilson, Mass Deployment is personal: "As a veteran, I am always looking for ways to find purpose and give back, and that's what led me to The Mission Continues. Now I get to join my fellow veterans and community members to serve with a common goal, and it's an honor to have Mass Deployment in our city." National giants and longtime partners are joining TMC in Tampa with Platinum Sponsors CarMax, and ToolBank, and Official Beverage Sponsor the Coca-Cola Company supporting this national event with surrounding communities. TMC is expecting to host 1,500 volunteers over five days of service. Still, with space at each project site limited, those who would like to volunteer are encouraged to sign up early to ensure they can support the community they would like to serve with.

Fivetran agrees to acquire Census
Fivetran, an automated data movement platform, has signed an agreement to acquire Census, a San Francisco-based company specialising in Reverse ETL, data activation, and operational analytics. According to Fivetran, this acquisition positions it as the sole fully managed platform that allows enterprises to transfer governed, automated, and real-time data across their entire stack—from source systems to data platforms and back into the business applications that power decision-making. Fivetran is financing the acquisition with a mix of cash and equity. The company has not disclosed the terms of the deal, and the completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. Fivetran CEO George Fraser said: 'This is an exciting moment for Fivetran, and even more so for our customers. For years, our most strategic customers told us they also want to action their data in real-time with Fivetran, not just centralize it in a warehouse. With Census, we're delivering on that need.' 'Our joint customers can now move trusted, modelled data into every part of their stack, from source systems to cloud platforms and back into operational tools, all on a single, fully managed platform. This is a foundational step in helping enterprises make real-time, AI-powered decisions at scale.' Established in 2018, Census serves numerous customers across industries and employs more than 50 people. As part of the acquisition, the Census team, including co-founder and CEO Boris Jabes, will join Fivetran to help lead the company's data activation strategy. This acquisition increases Fivetran's total number of connectors to more than 900, covering cloud apps, databases, data warehouses, and operational tools. Adding support for Reverse ETL, Fivetran now enables governed data movement in all directions across major warehouses, data lakes, and operational tools. This is Fivetran's third acquisition, following its 2021 purchases of HVR and Teleport Data, enhancing its data replication and change data capture capabilities. This announcement builds on recent milestones for Fivetran, including reaching over $300m in annual recurring revenue and launching Hybrid Deployment, which allows enterprises to run pipelines in any environment on a single platform.

Ivanti Launches Ring Deployment to Reduce Patch Risk and Help Customers Address the Evolving Threat Landscape
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2025-- Ivanti, the enterprise software company that provides a comprehensive IT and security cloud-based platform, has launched Ring Deployment in Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management. The new capability allows IT teams to reduce risks associated with patching systems by creating and configuring deployment rings, enabling them to strategically group devices based on organizational needs or risk tolerance. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, Ivanti remains committed to providing solutions that help organizations effectively manage risk, minimize business disruptions and ensure a smooth user experience. IT teams have the challenge of managing monthly maintenance patches, keeping up with weekly priority updates like browsers and needing to respond to zero-day threats, which means systems are often behind due to the frequency of patch releases and severity of threats. The longer vulnerabilities remain unpatched, the more exposed a business is to the risk of an attack or ransomware. Organizations need to have continuous patch management solutions that target fast-emerging, critical threats. Ivanti's Ring Deployment allows users to develop a controlled rollout of their monthly maintenance to ensure minimal impact to production systems. Ring Deployment helps IT teams achieve SLAs and benefit from a controlled, efficient and reliable patch management process. Further, Neurons for Patch Management provides clarity on which vulnerabilities need to be patched (or don't) with Ivanti's proprietary Vulnerability Risk Rating ( VRR ). Unlike CVSS, VRR scores account for active or likely exploitation, not just severity, and the dynamic score changes based on real-world threat context to provide an accurate assessment of every vulnerability in the environment. 'As we've implemented Ring Deployment, we've done so with careful consideration of how to embed it into a world that is now highly focused on risk. Our goal is to ensure IT teams can resolve vulnerabilities that expose their environment to real-world risk while balancing that rollout with quality guardrails,' said Chris Goettl, VP of Product Management, Endpoint Security at Ivanti. 'By integrating Ring Deployment with Ivanti's Deploy by Risk experience, our customers are able to manage the rollout of updates to address security and operational goals simultaneously.' Additional benefits include: 'Improving security is an ongoing process and Ivanti is dedicated to offering solutions that safeguard against the constantly changing threat landscape,' said Karl Triebes, Chief Product Officer at Ivanti. 'Ring Deployment is product innovation in action. It allows for effortless movement of patches between deployment rings, with the choice of automated or manual patch promotion. This guarantees thorough testing and validation before reaching a wider audience.' For further information on Ring Deployment, please check out Ivanti's blog or Ivanti's Q2 product updates page.

Spain proposes first move towards ‘European army'
The EU should develop its rapid deployment forces into the nucleus of the bloc's own army, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told journalists on Monday prior to attending a meeting of top EU diplomats in Brussels. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas noted at the gathering that ministers were left 'worried' by the recent changes in US foreign policy. Since his inauguration last month, US President Donald Trump has begun reestablishing diplomatic ties with Moscow, while demanding that European nations contribute more to NATO and take responsibility for their own security. 'The threat is European and therefore the response has to be European,' Albares said. The diplomat said he would urge the EU Foreign Affairs Council to reflect on how to boost the continent's defense capacity. 'Capabilities that must include the ability to have rapid deployment forces that could even be the embryo of a European army,' Albares said. The bloc also needs to achieve 'strategic autonomy' and further develop its domestic defense industry and logistics, he added. EU states agreed to develop a Rapid Deployment Capacity (RDC) in 2022, after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. The measure was envisioned as a coordinated framework of rapid response forces to allow the bloc to quickly react to crisis situations, and was projected to be able to deploy up to 5,000 troops by this year, according to the European Commission. Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has floated the idea of a unified European army in the past, said that dissent regarding defense strategy among EU states makes a common force impossible. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky suggested last month that Kiev's forces could form the basis of 'an army of Europe,' as 'decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending' and 'Europe needs to adjust.' He stated that Ukraine is currently 'holding back Russia' from attacking other European countries. Moscow has repeatedly denied claims that it ever intended to attack the EU or NATO. The idea that Russia wants to attack NATO is 'complete nonsense, total rubbish,' Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed last year.
