As CEO, Reddy will lead Percent’s next phase of growth, focused on developing liquidity infrastructure designed to support the $3.5T private credit sector alongside expanding its institutional presence within the asset class.

As a member of the founding team, Reddy has shaped Percent’s strategy, operations, and growth, bringing more than a decade of debt capital markets experience to Percent’s mission of applying public-market discipline and access to private credit. His appointment comes as Percent expands from a digital marketplace for private credit transactions into an institutional-focused asset manager underpinned by liquidity infrastructure designed for the industry.

“Private credit is entering a more demanding phase. Asset managers and capital partners are asking for better data, real liquidity, and clearer ways to access and assess differentiated exposure,” said Prath Reddy, Co-Founder and CEO of Percent. “Percent has spent eight years building for exactly this. With the foundation that Nelson has already laid, my focus as Percent’s new CEO is to scale the platform responsibly, expand our institutional asset management and trading capabilities, and continue bringing public-market discipline to private credit.”

Reddy joined Percent as a founding team member in 2018 from UBS Investment Bank’s debt capital markets group, where he originated and structured fixed-income securities for public and private corporations. A CFA charterholder, Reddy has spent his career at the intersection of institutional public and private credit markets, and has overseen Percent’s origination, structuring, and distribution work since the company’s earliest days.

Under Nelson’s leadership since founding Percent in 2018, the company has experienced rapid growth and traction in lower middle market lender finance, originating over 80% of deals under $25 million by issuance volume in Q1 2026, according to combined platform and ABL Advisor industry data. To date, Percent has signed up more than 50,000 investors and over 140 asset originators on the platform, with more than $350 million in current assets under administration. Since inception, Percent has facilitated more than $2 billion in issuance across over 1,200 deals.

“Percent began with a simple idea: private credit needed better rails. We’ve now built the platform, deal flow, and track record to make that real,” said Nelson Chu, Executive Chairman of Percent. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together, from driving meaningful growth to delivering increased transparency and efficiency for all market participants. Prath has been instrumental in building Percent from day one, and as Executive Chairman, I’ll be staying close to support what comes next under Prath’s leadership.”

In his new role as Executive Chairman, Chu will focus on long-term strategy, corporate governance, and supporting the executive team as the company continues to scale.

“We are entering one of the most exciting periods in Percent’s history. This transition represents a natural evolution for Percent as it moves from product validation to market-wide adoption,” said Marshall Lux, Percent Board Member. “Prath’s deep capital markets expertise and operational history make him the ideal leader to drive this next phase of institutional expansion. With Nelson guiding governance and long-term strategy as Executive Chairman, the company is structured for long-term growth and continued innovation.”

“ACOs are staring down a high-stakes, 10-year program decision with hundreds of provider groups to evaluate by August,” shared Brian M. Overstreet, President and CEO of Arbital Health. “ACOs are required to evaluate dozens to hundreds of physician practices, each with different cost profiles, risk scores, and attribution volumes under a CMS methodology most teams have never modeled. That’s why our expert value-based care actuarial team built ATLAS. ACOs can prospectively model and evaluate LEAD contract performance for clear, data-driven answers.”

Replacing the expiring ACO REACH program, the LEAD (Long-Term Enhanced Accountable Care Organization Design) Model is designed to provide long-term stability for organizations taking accountability for total cost of care. However, the model introduces new complexity, including multiple risk adjustment methodologies, quality withholds, AI-driven risk adjustment components, and long-term benchmark considerations that can significantly impact financial performance.

Arbital’s actuarial team built ATLAS to help organizations model these variables and develop an evidence-based participation strategy. Users can instantly see provider impact on benchmark, attribution, and projected net shared savings; stress test expense trend, risk adjustment trend, and quality earn back; and calculate CMS’s exact LEAD benchmarking methodology, broken out by cohort. Combined with Arbital’s advanced Actuarial AI platform, they support the full financial lifecycle of LEAD, MSSP, and any ACO risk program.

“ATLAS replaces manual spreadsheet-driven processes, data gaps, and key assumptions with a repeatable, self-serve tool based on real underlying data and Arbital’s actuarial modeling,” shared Andrew Mackenzie, Chief Science Officer at Arbital Health. “ACOs can quickly identify which provider groups strengthen performance, understand projected financial outcomes under different risk structures, and develop a clear strategy for long-term success under LEAD. It transforms a highly complex planning exercise into an actionable, data-driven financial strategy.”

Arbital ATLAS is not a multi-month implementation. Users can be up and running before the August deadline. You log in and start modeling. And for ACOs looking beyond TIN selection, ATLAS is part of Arbital Health‘s broader Actuarial AI platform, which enables payors and providers to stop reporting on the past and start leading in real-time maximizing both financial and patient outcomes.

These services are now included in MassPay’s standard platform offering at no additional cost to clients. Recipient account details are automatically validated before payouts are initiated, with clients retaining full flexibility to opt out if preferred.

Eliminating the Hidden Cost of Inaccurate Payment Data

Inaccurate or mismatched account data remains one of the most common sources of friction in global payment operations – costly to resolve and time-consuming to unwind. Misdirected payments, failed transactions, and fraud tied to incorrect beneficiary details create operational burden and financial exposure for businesses at every scale. By validating recipient details at the point of submission rather than at the point of failure, MassPay clients can reduce misdirected payments, minimize costly reversals, and significantly strengthen their defenses against fraud and human error.

The verification layer covers three key capabilities: ANI confirms that a recipient’s name matches the name held by their financial institution; AVS validates that address details align with records on file; and Bank Account & Name Validation confirms account existence and ownership globally, ensuring funds are directed to the correct and verified destination before a payout is ever initiated.

A Natural Extension of MassPay’s Client-First Model

“At MassPay, we’ve always believed that our clients should only pay for what works,” said Ran Grushkowsky, CEO of MassPay. “Adding ANI, AVS, and bank account validation as a built-in, no-cost layer is a direct extension of that commitment. We absorb the complexity and the cost so our clients don’t have to – and we do it without long-term contracts or surprise line items. Accurate data at the point of initiation means fewer failures, fewer disputes, and faster, cleaner payouts for everyone.”

By streamlining how practitioners review, engage with, and prepare for treatment, Care Aide seeks to address the heaviest operational drains for private practice clinicians, allowing clinicians to navigate their daily administrative tasks with greater ease. Today’s launch is timely as SimplePractice’s “Annual State of Private Practice Report (2025 in Review)” found that, while overall clinician satisfaction in independent practice remains high, a key challenge is the administrative burden. By designing a solution that combats this, SimplePractice aims to redefine how practitioners balance clinical excellence with operational efficiency.

“AI in healthcare deserves thoughtful, measured implementation,” said Jonathan Seltzer, CEO of SimplePractice. “What we hear consistently from clinicians is that they want technology to act as a tool, not a decision-maker. They need support with the administrative work that takes time away from care, while keeping clinical expertise and judgment exactly where it belongs. Care Aide is built around that principle. It keeps clinicians in control while helping with the practical work of preparation, documentation, treatment planning, and follow-through.”

The suite of tools includes Note Taker, the leading AI-powered note-taking solution among mental health clinicians, plus several advanced AI-powered features:

• Session Sidekick: Designed to support better session flow and engagement by creating a customizable, interactive discussion outline live during telehealth sessions that includes key topics from prior notes and upcoming appointments, as well as a session recap.
• Client Summaries: Provide clinicians with the option of giving clients summaries of their sessions, which include clear, actionable takeaways and next steps in easy-to-understand language. While Note Taker generates structured progress notes from the session transcript, Client Summaries creates a more client-friendly recap that clinicians can send in just a few clicks.
• Treatment Planner: Helps to create treatment plans faster, reducing manual reviewing of clinical documentation, progress notes, and outcome measures, while keeping the clinician in control of care decisions.
• Intake Summaries: Mitigates administrative burden during the client intake review process by compiling key details, including reason for visit, scheduling and payment preferences, demographics, and client-reported risk factors, so providers can walk into every first session with a client prepared.

SimplePractice’s AI roadmap is purpose-built to address the most pressing challenges facing independent clinicians. Built on a foundation of security and trust, all SimplePractice AI tools are HIPAA compliant, verified through HITRUST certification, and designed to protect client data with advanced confidentiality and security protocols.

Traditional browser automation focuses on what users can see: buttons, forms, text, and visual states. However, modern web applications depend heavily on browser activity that remains invisible to users, including network requests, API responses, console logs, cookies, local storage, and performance metrics.

With DevTools Assertions, Kane CLI extends browser validation beyond the UI, allowing teams to verify these underlying signals using plain-English objectives.

Developers can now write objectives such as:

• “Click Add to Cart and assert the request to /api/cart returned status 200.”
• “Run the checkout flow and assert the console has no errors.”
• “Log in and store the session cookie value.”
• “Assert localStorage contains the selected product ID.”
• “Open the pricing page and assert it loads in under two seconds.”

Kane CLI automatically maps these objectives to the appropriate browser signals during execution. Running in a real Chrome browser, the platform observes network requests, responses, console activity, browser storage, cookies, and performance timing while the workflow executes.

Unlike traditional automation frameworks, DevTools Assertions require no selectors, instrumentation, or custom code. Users specify intent, and Kane CLI performs the validation automatically.

“As software becomes increasingly API-driven and AI-generated, validating the UI alone is no longer enough,” said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder and Head of Growth at TestMu AI. “Many production issues originate in network failures, browser storage inconsistencies, performance regressions, or client-side errors. DevTools Assertions help teams validate the signals that truly determine whether an application is working correctly.”

The capability supports common validation operators such as equals, contains, greater than, and less than, while automatically normalizing browser events and console outputs for easier interpretation. DevTools Assertions further advances Kane CLI’s mission of making browser validation accessible through natural language while enabling AI agents to perform deeper, more reliable software verification. The feature is available immediately in Kane CLI.

Agent Identity Security extends AppViewX’s platform, built on a decade of machine identity and PKI expertise, into AI agent security, giving CISOs and their teams a single control plane for every machine and agent identity in their environment.

The Converging Threats: Agentic AI and Quantum Computing

Two megatrends are colliding inside the enterprise simultaneously right now. AI agents are proliferating at unprecedented speed, acting autonomously on sensitive systems and data with broad access and minimal supervision. This creates a new and urgent attack surface: ungoverned agent identities that act without human oversight, improperly use privileged access, and violate compliance policies, which expose organizations to security and compliance risks.

At the same time, the quantum computing threat to today’s cryptographic security approaches is forcing every enterprise to rethink how they establish digital trust. The technologies and techniques most organizations rely on today were built for a human-centric world before AI agents emerged. They were not designed for the authentication and authorization demands that machines and agents create, and especially not for a post-quantum environment. Post-quantum-ready PKI and certificate lifecycle management are critical pieces of the answer, but the scale and complexity of what enterprises now face require a different solution.

Also Read: CrowdStrike Targets Autonomous Risks with Continuous Identity Architecture for AI Agents

“AI agents have become the largest workforce most enterprises never hired, operating autonomously across sensitive infrastructure with broad access and minimal oversight,” said Archit Lohokare, CEO of AppViewX. “This new class of identity will lead to incredible innovation if governed appropriately for the post-quantum era. Agent Identity Security gives enterprises the visibility, governance, and threat detection to deploy AI agents at scale, without trading speed for security.”

Introducing Agent Identity Security: Built for the Agentic Enterprise

Agent Identity Security is built on AppViewX’s established machine identity and PKI foundation, empowering users with AI-native capabilities purpose-built for the unique challenges of autonomous AI agents such as managing an AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM), governing MCP tools, and securing non-deterministic behavior:

• Agent Inventory and Risk Insights: Provides visibility into every agentic platform to surface all agents, their LLMs, MCP tools, credentials, and configured identities. Helps eliminate shadow AI blind spots with a unified view of every agent in the environment, and a centralized AIBOM that security teams can operationalize.
• Policy-Based Agent Identity Governance: Supports organizational and regulatory policy coverage across the entire AI agent estate, including NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, SOC 2, and SEC Cyber Disclosure. Continuously assesses agent posture, detects configuration drift, and produces audit-ready compliance evidence for boards, regulators, and cyber insurance carriers.
• Adaptive Agent Access: Provides fine-grained, task-based access policies that limit agents to only the tools and data required for their specific function. Least-privilege controls are enforced at the agent identity level to reduce over-permissioning and help prevent breaches, ensuring each agent can only access what its specific task requires. Integrates with existing PAM and IAM tooling for consistent enforcement.
• Threat Detection: Identifies AI-based identity threats and anomalous agent behaviors in real time. Guardian Agent, the solution’s AI security companion, delivers context-aware intelligence and guided remediation, supporting risk management from initial detection through resolution. It is tailored to the user’s role and environment.

The AppViewX Advantage: One Solution, Complete Coverage

AppViewX brings a deep foundation in certificate lifecycle management and PKI, with an established customer base already operating at machine identity scale. Agent Identity Security extends that foundation into AI agent governance, combining discovery, risk, posture, access control, and real-time threat detection with an AI-native architecture. Together, they form the only identity security platform built for the AI and quantum era.

“Enterprises are deploying AI agents faster than they can govern them, and that identity security gap creates considerable business risk,” saidTodd Thiemann, Principal Analyst, Omdia. “AppViewX is taking the right architectural approach with Agent Identity Security. Grounding agent governance in a native PKI foundation gives enterprises the cryptographic depth needed to tackle both the AI and the quantum computing challenge in one motion, rather than bolting on solutions after the fact.” “AI agents are a new identity group, and their rapid proliferation creates new risks for the enterprise. To reduce risk, we must monitor, audit, and control their privileged access to sensitive data and systems. We must ensure their lifecycle is automated and governed,” said John Barrow, CISO, JB Poindexter & Co. “I’ve been collaborating with the AppViewX team, and their innovative Agent Identity Security solution is the right response for reducing the risk of agents in the enterprise.”

Copilot Studio has lowered the barrier to agent deployment, enabling business teams to connect agents to internal data sources, external APIs, and enterprise systems through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, with minimal technical overhead. That accessibility has accelerated adoption, but it has also created a structural challenge for security teams: Agents are being granted access to sensitive business systems with static, broadly scoped credentials and no centralized way to enforce policy or investigate incidents after the fact.

“Enterprises want to move fast with agentic AI, and Copilot Studio makes that easy on the deployment side,” said David Goldschlag, co-founder and CEO of Aembit. “What’s been missing is a security model that keeps pace one where agents carry verified identities, hold no persistent credentials, and operate under access policies that security teams can actually manage centrally. That’s what this integration provides.”

The Aembit IAM platform sits between Copilot Studio agents and the enterprise resources they connect to. Using context about the user from the human identity provider combined with context about the agent’s identity and access needs, Aembit creates a blended identity for the agent distinct from the user, then issues ephemeral credentials scoped to the specific task at hand, with no standing access after the job is complete. Every access decision is logged with sufficient context to support compliance review and incident investigation.

Aembit already helps enterprises securely scale Claude deployments, including a $300 billion investment firm that connected AI assistants across its entire analyst and executive workforce to financial datasets, email and calendar systems, and sensitive company information.

“Organizations deploying Copilot Studio have been asking us how to bring their agents under the same access model as the rest of their infrastructure,” said Kevin Sapp, co-founder and CTO of Aembit. “This integration makes that possible without requiring changes to the agent build or to the enterprise systems the agents connect to.”

The Copilot Studio integration is available now to Aembit customers. Organizations attending Identiverse 2026 can visit Aembit at Booth 220 for a live demonstration. Those not at the conference can access the Agentic AI Deployment Checklist, an interactive tool that helps enterprise security teams identify gaps in their current agent rollouts and prioritize what to address before agents go into production.
