📣 Something big is coming, and it's at RSAC. Today, SecurityScorecard Unveils TITAN AI: A New Era of Threat-Informed Third-Party Risk Management TPRM is evolving, and so are we. 🛡️ SecurityScorecard today announced TITAN AI at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco. TITAN AI replaces the reactive, manual grind of third-party risk management (TPRM) programs with AI-acceleration and predictive control. 🌐 TITAN AI is built on top of SecurityScorecard’s industry-leading Ratings and TPRM platform with AI-driven technology and enhanced threat intelligence, delivering a powerful solution built for the demands of today's risk landscape. 📊 The Numbers: 🔹 With TITAN AI, organizations will be able to automate the majority of the work traditionally required to manage vendor risk, reclaiming hours previously spent chasing vendors by reducing manual effort by up to 95%. 🔹 Organizations leveraging TITAN AI will identify and address third-party risk faster and more consistently, with customers achieving up to 75% fewer supply-chain breaches. 🔹 Vendor engagement soars with TITAN AI. A 9x higher vendor engagement will allow vendors to respond more quickly and resolve issues before they escalate. 🔹 TITAN AI provides 99.9% accurate risk attribution with a near-zero refute rate. “Today, we're still redefining what's possible. Many teams still spend too much time stuck in manual, compliance-driven processes that don’t actually reduce risk. TITAN AI is our answer to that problem.” – Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO and Co-Founder of SecurityScorecard 📘 Read the full press release here: securityscorecard.com/resour… #cybersecurity #pressrelease #TitanAI #cybernews #SecurityScorecard #artificialintelligence #TPRM #ThirdPartyRiskManagement #SecOps #RiskOps #RSAC2026 #AI

Aviation averages a B grade for cybersecurity. That sounds fine, until you learn a B-rated organization is 2.9x more likely to suffer a breach than an A-rated one. SecurityScorecard’s research on 250 major aerospace and aviation companies found the real problem isn’t the airlines themselves. It’s their vendors: aviation-specific software and IT suppliers scored the lowest of any group studied, dragging the sector’s average down. ✈️ Why a handful of low-scoring vendors are wrecking the curve for an entire industry 📋 Why annual questionnaires can’t catch a vendor exposure that appears mid-year 🏛️ Why TSA and FAA oversight are now asking for proof, not paperwork 👉 Read the full breakdown and see what continuous, threat-informed TPRM looks like for aviation: securityscorecard.com/blog/a… #cybersecurity #aviation #TPRM #vendorriskmanagement #SecurityScorecard #supplychainsecurity

“People who design systems, people who build systems, they usually believe that people will be well behaved,” our CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy told Cybersecurity Dive. “But hackers are not well behaved.” Days after the French supermarket refrigeration attacks, Cybersecurity Dive reports that thousands of controllers remain exposed globally. SecurityScorecard’s own investigation found more than 5,200 StoreView instances visible across more than 4,600 public IP addresses, a wider footprint than any single headline captured. 👉 Read the full Cybersecurity Dive coverage: cybersecuritydive.com/news/t… #cybersecurity #OT #criticalinfrastructure #Driftnet #SecurityScorecard #threatintelligence

A doctor checks your blood pressure. Your car has a speedometer. Buy a financial instrument, and you get a credit rating from S&P or Moody’s. What about for cybersecurity? Our CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy explains how he pioneered security ratings, the idea behind SecurityScorecard on The Vlad Kachur Show: a security score for any company, so you can actually see the risk before you do business with them. 📺 Watch the full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=3OYUrYq9… #cybersecurity #TPRM #SecurityScorecard #startups #leadership

A 200-question spreadsheet sent to every vendor regardless of risk level isn’t enough to stay ahead of third-party cyber risk. SecurityScorecard’s new eBook breaks down why legacy TPRM tools can’t keep pace anymore: biannual assessment cycles, massive questionnaires, and manual evidence review create six-week delays while third-party involvement in breaches has climbed from 30% to 48% year-over-year. 📋 Why checkbox-driven assessment cycles fail to catch changing threats ⏱️ The hidden cost of questionnaire fatigue: delayed assessments and disconnected tools 🤖 How AI-driven automation and continuous monitoring close the visibility gap 👉 Get the eBook and see what it takes to modernize your vendor risk workflow to match the pace of real threats: securityscorecard.com/resour… #CISO #CTO #cybersecurity #vendorriskmanagement #TPRM #cyberrisk #AI #solutionguide

Takedowns once cost attackers weeks of rebuilding. Now they only cost minutes. Richard Hummel and Gilad Friedenreich Maizles broke down how SecurityScorecard’s STRIKE team uncovered CanOworms, a 633-server proxy fleet for rent, and why law enforcement takedowns rarely stick against infrastructure like this. One single IP can host 10,000 domains, leased for as little as three hours. When attackers lose infrastructure, underground LLMs can rebuild it automatically in minutes. 🔍 Why tracking TCP flag anomalies and TLS fingerprints beats chasing IP reputation 🔄 Why one open-source tip from a partner led researchers to 633 servers 🛡️ The specific actions defenders should prioritize right now 👉 Read the full recap: securityscorecard.com/blog/c… #cybersecurity #threatintelligence #STRIKE #CanOworms #TPRM

An “F”-rated company is 13.8x more likely to suffer a breach than an “A”-rated one. That’s not a guess. That’s validated correlation. This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, SecurityScorecard’s latest blog breaks down how security ratings actually work, and why most companies’ confidence in their own visibility doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. 🔍 95% attribution accuracy, independently verified by Online Business Systems ⚡ A 0.0023% refute rate, with most corrections resolved within minutes 🆓 Free, unlimited access to correct your own score, whether you’re a customer or not 👉 Read the full blog and see how ratings translate into resolved risk, not just a number to report: securityscorecard.com/blog/h… #cybersecurity #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #TPRM #SecurityScorecard #securityratings #vendorriskmanagement

A supermarket opens Monday morning to freezers full of food that can no longer be sold. The power is on. The equipment is intact. Someone just changed the instructions. That’s what happened across roughly 700 French supermarkets after attacks on refrigeration controllers raised defrost settings and triggered reported fires. Our CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy and VP of Threat Intelligence Richard Hummel used Driftnet to investigate the broader exposure, finding 5,282 StoreView observations across 4,642 public IPs in 75 countries. 🔍 Why a single page-title search missed most of the exposed surface entirely 🏭 Why an exposed HMI is a route toward the physical process, not just a web login 🤝 Why the contractor managing the unit may matter more than the retailer who owns it 👉 Read the full investigation: securityscorecard.com/blog/h… #cybersecurity #threatintelligence #Driftnet #OT #criticalinfrastructure #SecurityScorecard

Every AI query, cloud workload, and digital transaction depends on something physical: a data center. SecurityScorecard’s latest blog makes the case that data center cybersecurity is really a supply chain problem. A facility can have strong internal controls and still inherit risk from the networking equipment, cooling systems, backup power, and maintenance providers keeping it running. 🏭 Why attackers target the weakest connection into a data center, not the hardest wall ⚡ Why AI is raising the stakes by making reconnaissance and exploitation faster 🔄 Why the shift from periodic assessment to continuous monitoring matters most here 👉 Read the full blog and see what continuous third-party risk management looks like for data center ecosystems: securityscorecard.com/blog/d… #cybersecurity #AI #datacenters #TPRM #SecurityScorecard #supplychainsecurity

78% of organizations admit their internal cybersecurity program covers less than half of their total vendor ecosystem. SecurityScorecard’s 2026 Supply Chain Cybersecurity Trends Report found that even security-mature organizations are operating with serious blind spots once vendors move beyond their most critical suppliers. 📊 See how much of the typical vendor ecosystem goes completely unmonitored 🔍 Understand why coverage drops off so sharply past the top-tier vendor list 🎯 Get the data behind what full ecosystem visibility actually requires 👉 Get the report and see how your own coverage compares: securityscorecard.com/resour… #cybersecurity #TPRM #supplychainsecurity #vendorriskmanagement #cyberrisk

AI agents are becoming privileged interns inside your company: given access fast, trusted by default, and rarely supervised the way a human employee would be. Our CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy joined Arman Eshraghi on the SaaS Scaled podcast to talk about why security keeps getting treated as an afterthought with AI Adoption and why attackers are adopting AI faster than defenders are. 🤖 Why AI agents need the same scrutiny as a new hire with broad access 🌍 Why closing global cyber inequity requires collaboration ⏱️ The challenges of the CISO job 👉 Watch the full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=dhvI6LRm… #cybersecurity #AI #leadership #CISO #SecurityScorecard #startups

One analyst covering 600 or more vendors isn’t unusual in third-party risk management (TPRM) today. SecurityScorecard’s new blog breaks down how TITAN AI closes that gap. One connected workflow now runs intake, assessment, monitoring, and remediation. No analyst has to carry the work between separate tools. And customers are already showing us what that looks like in practice. “TITAN AI hands us context we can act on instead of one more alert to chase.” — Phil Addison, Manager of Third-Party Cyber Risk Management, The Hershey Company 📊 TITAN AI lifts vendor engagement by 9x once questionnaires are easy to complete 🕵️ Teams are reducing manual assessment work with AI agents, while keeping humans in control 🎯 TITAN AI helps security teams focus on the risks that matter most with threat-informed prioritization 📘 See what your TPRM program could look like when the work moves, not the headcount: securityscorecard.com/blog/t… #cybersecurity #TitanAI #SecurityScorecard #TPRM #ThirdPartyRiskManagement #cyberrisk

More than 30 water systems across the Midwest have reported cyber incidents in recent months. Utilities in Cape May County, New Jersey have confirmed attacks too. In a new byline for Route Fifty, SecurityScorecard’s Mike Centrella argues this isn’t just an IT problem anymore. It’s a public safety and national security problem, and most small municipal utilities don’t have the cybersecurity budget or staff to defend against it the way a federal agency can. 🚰 Why a poorly protected controller in one small town can create national-security consequences 🔄 Why cyber risk is dynamic while most water utility risk assessments are still periodic 🏛️ Why cybersecurity funding needs to be built into infrastructure investment from the start, not bolted on after 👉 Read Mike’s full byline: route-fifty.com/cybersecurit… #cybersecurity #criticalinfrastructure #publicsector #TPRM #SecurityScorecard #water

Ransomware doesn't care if you're a small business, a nonprofit, or already paid once before. SecurityScorecard's STRIKE team debunks six persistent myths with real incident data, from Fortune 500-level targeting fears to the belief that paying a ransom closes the case. 🚫 Why 83% of ransomware breaches hit small and mid-sized businesses, not Fortune 500s 💸 Why 84% of organizations that pay a ransom still don't fully recover their data 🔗 Why 41.4% of ransomware attacks involve third-party access in the first place 👉 Read the full breakdown and see which myths your security program might still be operating under: securityscorecard.com/blog/6… #cybersecurity #ransomware #TPRM #vendorriskmanagement #SecurityScorecard #threatintelligence
