On July 8, 2026 Empower AI, a KKR‑backed federal IT contractor, announced it has acquired Highlight Technologies, an employee‑owned US government IT services firm. The deal broadens Empower AI’s DevSecOps, AI/ML and data management offerings for agencies including the Departments of State and Homeland Security.
Los Angeles–based identity security company Saviynt has secured a $700 million Series B growth equity round at an approximately $3 billion valuation, led by KKR with participation from Sixth Street Growth, TenEleven and existing backer Carrick Capital Partners. The AI-powered platform manages human, machine and AI agent identities across applications and infrastructure, and Saviynt says the capital will accelerate R&D and integrations so enterprises can govern access for copilots, autonomous agents and other non-human identities as they scale AI deployments.([saviynt.com](https://saviynt.com/press-release/saviynt-raises-700m-in-kkr-led-round-to-establish-identity-security-as-the-foundation-for-the-ai-era?utm_source=openai))
