Is your official vendor list a reflection of reality? In our latest research, we’ve uncovered a stark forensic reality: The average security team is blind to 72.9% of its active vendor supply chain. The reality is that records of procurement no longer reflect your true inventory since users can "hire" a new vendor with a single click. In the first of our new three-part series, "The Shadow Supply Chain," we dive into the mechanics of this user-driven blind spot and why there's a need to pivot toward usage-based discovery. Full blog linked in the comments.

Is your TPRM program an engine or an anchor? In 2026, a slow assessment is a security risk. Every day spent in manual handoffs is a day of exposure for your organization.

We will show you how to automate everything from vendor follow-ups to instant Jira routing for IT and Legal. 📅 May 19 (US) | May 21 (APAC, EMEA + India) 🔗 Save your spot: https://hubs.li/Q04cRtXK0

We didn’t go to RSAC to blend in. The Cybersecurity Marketing Society just honored us with a Beautiful Booth Award in the Medium (10x20) category, and we couldn't be more ecstatic. This recognition means a lot. Not just because it celebrates the tireless work of our events team, and not just because we’re proud to represent our brand on such a global stage. But because our booth design is a direct reflection of the principles we build into our products. In both cybersecurity and design, loud isn’t the same as clear. More signals don’t equal more clarity, just like a flashier design doesn't always equal elegance. We’ve always strived to build solutions that make the lives of security teams easier, and our RSAC Conference booth was a physical extension of that mission. We’re honored that this philosophy resonated with the judges and the community. This is only the beginning. We’re bringing this same energy to EDUCAUSE's Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference starting today in Anaheim, California. If you’re ready for less noise and more focus, come find us in Anaheim at Table #32, or one of our next stops (full event schedule below), to talk with our booth team about your cybersecurity goals and what we can do to help.

Alert volume isn’t the bottleneck. Context is. Nearly half your team’s time is currently spent proving what isn’t a problem.

What if security wasn’t the Department of No, but the catalyst for safe innovation? For too long, governance has been a zero-sum game: you either move fast or you move securely. In this month’s edition of The UpGuardian, we show you what it looks like to do both.
