KOcycle wins King’s Award for Enterprise

KOcycle has been awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainability, strengthening its position as a key partner for the UK channel as ESG requirements move up the customer agenda. The B Corp-certified IT lifecycle and asset disposition (ITAD) specialist is one of just 185 organisations recognised in 2026 with the award, acknowledging its zero-landfill commitment and digital inclusion initiative, KODI. KOcycle’s services – spanning reuse, refurbishment and secure disposal – are designed to help partners embed circular economy principles into their offerings, enabling customers to reduce environmental impact and total cost of ownership. “This award is recognition of the work the team has put in over the past few years, but it’s also a signal to our partners,” said Oli Mason, founder and managing director at KOcycle. “Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice

to have’. It's becoming a core part of how customers evaluate technology decisions, and partners have a real opportunity to lead that conversation.” The award also highlights a broader shift in how ITAD is viewed within the channel. With AI adoption accelerating and data centre demand driving increased hardware production, pressure is building across global supply chains, particularly around critical materials such as copper, lithium and cobalt. As a result, IT lifecycle services are increasingly seen not just as an end- of-life requirement, but as part of a wider strategy to extend asset value and recover materials that can be reintroduced into the supply chain. KOcycle’s approach combines refurbishment and remarketing with material-level recycling, supporting sustainability goals and long-term resource availability. n

Tanium introduces Tanium Atlas

Tanium has announced Tanium Atlas, an autonomous operating system that gives a single IT or security operator the data, guidance and reach to accomplish what once required an entire team – moving from intent to outcome in a single, governed experience. Tanium Atlas is built on an endpoint data foundation that is complete, high- fidelity, real-time and extensible: covering every device in the environment, captured directly from the source, answered in seconds and open to any model, agent or workflow. That data foundation is what sets the new operating standard for IT and security in the age of AI. Unlike traditional consoles built around fixed modules and linear workflows, Tanium Atlas is built around the individual

— not a persona or a role, but the specific user in front of the screen. The Tanium Atlas autonomous operating system dynamically generates pages that surface the most relevant data, visualisations and actions in the moment, while ambient agents operating at the system level observe the environment and surface what matters before the user has to ask. Tanium Atlas runs on a curated ensemble of leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others.

The differentiator is Tanium’s data layer. Across more than 36 million

endpoints worldwide, Tanium captures a comprehensive range of endpoint signals at high fidelity, in real time and exposes them through open APIs and MCP so any agent — Tanium’s or a customer’s — can reason and act on it. n
