Summary · why it matters

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society has issued a new ministerial regulation to expedite the suspension and blocking of illegal URLs. In fiscal year 2026, from 1 October 2025 to 13 July 2026, a total of 883,012 illegal URLs have been blocked. Of these, more than 600,000 were online gambling URLs blocked under court orders. The regulation is issued under Section 20 of the Computer Crime Act B.E. 2550 and its amendments, empowering authorized officials to file court petitions for swift URL suspension or blocking in urgent cases. It also establishes fast-track guidelines and clear procedures in collaboration with foreign social media platforms and domestic internet service providers, enabling direct removal of clearly illegal content without waiting for a court order. This covers all forms of online threats, such as mule accounts, fake investment solicitations using deepfakes, e-cigarette advertising, and scams via SMS and applications. Mr. Phachara Anantasilp, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, said this regulation will reduce blocking time from several days to just a few hours, prevent people from falling victim to scammers, and boost confidence in the digital economy.

Commvault Enables FedRAMP High Cloud for Federal Agencies

Commvault Systems has enabled its managed service provider partners to deliver FedRAMP High Authorized Commvault Cloud for Government services to U.S. federal agencies and defense contractors, broadening the company's public sector reach. The move lands on a stock with a 7 day share price return of 10.29% and a 90 day share price gain of 11.67%, though its 1 year total shareholder return is down 23.35% while the 3 year total shareholder return is up 111.68%. The most followed valuation narrative puts fair value at $161.15 against a last close of $145.21, implying roughly 10% upside, and rests on analyst expectations of about 10.6% annual revenue growth, profit margins rising toward 9.8%, and an 8.85% discount rate. That story leans on recurring SaaS economics, including 63% SaaS ARR growth, a 45% increase in multi-product customers, and 125% SaaS net dollar retention. A contrasting read notes the stock trades at a P/E of 88.1x versus 30.5x for the wider US Software group and a fair ratio of 38.7x, signaling valuation risk if sentiment cools.

Varonis Systems Launches Data Lifecycle Management Capability

Varonis Systems, Inc. launched Varonis Data Lifecycle Management, a new capability that automatically identifies and remediates redundant, obsolete, and trivial data across enterprise environments using its existing Data Security Platform. The launch ties data cleanup directly to sensitivity, access, and activity context, aiming to reduce storage waste, improve AI output quality, and help organizations address compliance exposures from scattered sensitive information. The DLM tool stacks on top of Varonis Atlas, the AI security platform that went generally available in March 2026, which targets discovery, posture management, and runtime protection for AI workloads. Together, Atlas and DLM broaden Varonis' role from guarding unstructured data to governing how that data is stored, used, cleaned up, and exposed across Snowflake, Claude, Cursor, and other cloud and AI partnerships. Varonis Systems' narrative projects $1.1 billion revenue and $120.7 million earnings by 2029, yielding a $50.68 fair value, an 8% upside to its current price, while the most pessimistic analysts were already modeling about US$1.0 billion of 2029 revenue.
