As part of its Wesco Cares community engagement program, Wesco Anixter donated nearly 1,000 meters of electrical cable to In-Comm Training to support hands-on technical education for students and apprentices pursuing careers in the electrical industry. The donation strengthens practical learning environments by providing real-world materials for installation, termination and testing exercises. Delivery of the cable was generously sponsored by Maxi Haulage.

In-Comm Training supports learners and employers through technical training programs that build job-ready capability across electrical, engineering and manufacturing disciplines. Working with education providers and industry partners, In-Comm helps ensure training environments reflect the tools, materials and expectations students will encounter on job sites.

Wesco Anixter’s donation reflects its commitment to supporting local communities and developing the next generation of skilled electrical professionals. By supplying cable suited for workshop environments and training rigs, Wesco Anixter is helping In-Comm expand learning opportunities that prepare students for future employment.

“We’re proud to support In-Comm Training by donating cable that can be used to develop the next generation of electrical talent,” said Stuart Wyness, Director Sales U.K. Construction & Industrial at Wesco Anixter. “Providing access to real-world materials early in training is critical to helping apprentices build confidence, capability and readiness for on-site work.”

In addition to supporting education, the donation also reflects Wesco Anixter’s commitment to responsible resource management. Much of the cable provided to In-Comm Training would have been sent for recycling. This initiative helps extend the useful life of materials while helping reduce waste.

As demand for copper continues to grow, responsible stock management and reclamation practices play an important role. By redirecting usable cable into education, Wesco Anixter is maximizing material value while promoting recycling and circular economy principles.

“This donation will allow us to further support our learners’ development by giving them hands-on experience with a wider range of cable types and sizes than they would normally encounter at this stage,” said Simon Wood, Engineering Instructor at In-Comm Training. “Learners will have the opportunity to work with heavier cable reels and understand key handling techniques early in their apprenticeship, which is a vital step in becoming an electrician. Working with a local supplier is incredibly positive, and we are very grateful to Wesco Anixter U.K. for their support in helping us shape the future of the industry.”

SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 2, 2026 /3BL/ – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced the launch of Keysight SBOM Manager, a new solution designed to help organizations meet growing global cybersecurity and software transparency requirements, led by the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The solution provides a unified approach to generating, managing, and using Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for digital products, enabling organizations to meet regulatory obligations with greater accuracy, confidence, and consistency across the product lifecycle.

Cybersecurity regulations worldwide are converging on a common expectation: manufacturers must understand, manage, and disclose the components within their digital products, including software and firmware. Regulations such as the EU CRA, U.S. Executive Order 14028, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cybersecurity requirements for medical devices, and emerging frameworks in Asia are making SBOMs a foundational requirement for market access, regulatory approval, and customer trust worldwide.

Keysight SBOM Manager is designed to support this shift by addressing the practical challenges organizations face as SBOM requirements expand. The solution enables broader and more accurate visibility into digital products by analyzing binary software, firmware, containers, and other packaged components, including closed-source and deeply embedded dependencies. It continuously correlates SBOMs with multiple authoritative vulnerability sources, intelligently filters out vulnerabilities that are not applicable, and supports the use of Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX). This enables teams to focus on meaningful risk rather than being overwhelmed by raw vulnerability data.

In addition, Keysight SBOM Manager supports secure and scalable sharing of SBOMs and vulnerability information through controlled, role-based access and version tracking, helping organizations meet regulatory and customer transparency expectations. Built-in validation and normalization help ensure SBOMs align with evolving standards and regulatory minimum requirements, while support for SBOM consumers enables organizations to ingest, manage, and map SBOMs to deployed digital assets, connecting transparency directly to real operational environments.

Naoki Shimazaki, Fourth Design Department, Director, Software-Defined Solutions Division, Connective Engineering Division, Hitachi Industry & Control Solutions, Ltd., said: “The use of SBOMs is becoming an essential element in monitoring system security risks, including software composition management and supply chain risk management. We believe that solutions such as these, which enable visibility into system components and support vulnerability impact analysis, have significant potential to strengthen organizations’ cybersecurity efforts.”

Dmitry Raidman, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, CyBeats, said: “While companies innovate at the speed of AI, they must also put tighter governance and stronger controls in place, especially as modern products increasingly rely on open source, third-party components, and AI-assisted development. Supply chain transparency and accountability are now paramount. To meet growing global regulations, organizations need the ability to continuously generate trustworthy SBOMs, correlate them with actionable vulnerability intelligence, apply VEX to reduce noise, and automate response workflows at scale. As transparency expectations expand across software, AI, cryptography, and hardware, visibility into the full digital product stack is becoming essential for secure-by-design development, regulatory readiness, and customer trust.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions at Keysight, said: “As cybersecurity regulations mature, SBOMs are becoming a prerequisite for doing business globally. Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations meet these requirements with confidence by bringing accuracy, consistency, and scalability to SBOM generation and management.”

The EU CRA, which comes into force in 2026, requires manufacturers of connected digital products to implement cybersecurity risk management, maintain SBOMs, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Similar expectations are already in place through U.S. Executive Order 14028 and FDA cybersecurity guidance, while regulators in India, Japan, and South Korea are formalizing SBOM requirements across regulated sectors. Failure to comply can result in penalties, delayed approvals, recalls, or restricted market access.

By bringing together accurate SBOM generation for digital products, continuous vulnerability intelligence, secure sharing, data quality assurance, prioritization, and consumer-side visibility in a single platform, Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations reduce regulatory risk, improve vulnerability response, and build greater trust across global digital supply chains.

DP World recently partnered with The Kidney Foundation of Canada to turn a Vancouver Canucks game into a platform for purpose: hosting living organ donors in its corporate suite to raise awareness of the lifesaving impact of organ donation.

The event brought together 10 living donors as part of the Living Donor Circle of Excellence program, celebrating them and amplifying their stories beyond the healthcare setting. Attendees were recognized in-arena, including with a Jumbotron feature, while Kidney Foundation representatives engaged fans at the Canucks Community Corner to further raise awareness.

The evening marked the first time the Living Donor Circle of Excellence program was spotlighted at a Vancouver Canucks game, made possible through DP World’s support. 

Adding a personal dimension to the evening, DP World’s Vancouver Senior Terminal Manager, Dan Cooke — a liver transplant recipient — hosted the suite, offering a meaningful reminder of the real lives connected to every act of donation.

“Having the opportunity to spend the evening surrounded by living donors was both humbling and very meaningful for me. The gift of organ donations saves lives every day, including mine. Having DP World join the Circle of Excellence is another great example of good that we can all do for our people and community,” said Cooke.

Dr. John Gill, nephrologist and founder of the Living Donor Circle of Excellence program, said: “We’re here tonight to celebrate living organ donors and to recognize the importance of removing barriers so more people can give this life-saving gift. Supporting donors is how we make more transplants possible.” 

From Awareness to Action

The Living Donor Circle of Excellence program, delivered in partnership with The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the Canadian Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplantation, recognizes employers that are helping remove barriers to living organ donation.

A key challenge for potential donors is financial: time away from work and lost wages during recovery can delay or prevent donation altogether. Members of the program commit to addressing this by providing at least 80% wage replacement during the recovery period.

In 2025, DP World joined the program, ensuring that employees who choose to become living organ donors continue to receive wages and benefits during their recovery.

Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada, said: “Supporting our people means removing barriers when they choose to do something extraordinary. By ensuring employees can become living organ donors without financial strain, we’re not only investing in their wellbeing — we’re helping make more lifesaving transplants possible.”

Today, more than 220 employers across Canada and the United States participate, collectively supporting approximately 2.9 million employees.

A Growing Need and Opportunity to Act

The urgency behind these efforts is clear. The need for organs continues to outpace availability, with wait times for a deceased donor often averaging three to four years or longer. These delays can seriously impact a patient’s health, sometimes making them too sick for a transplant — tragically, some people die while waiting. In contrast, living donor transplants offer a highly successful alternative, with much shorter wait times and better long-term outcomes for the transplanted organ.

Advancing a Culture of Support

For many people living with kidney disease, a transplant offers the best possible path to improved health and quality of life, but access depends on both awareness and support.

By combining community engagement with employee-first policies, DP World is helping address both sides of that equation.

DP World’s efforts demonstrate how companies can use their platforms not only to raise visibility, but to actively support the people behind these extraordinary decisions —bridging awareness with action in ways that can ultimately help save more lives.
