You block one, two more pop up. The "whac-a-mole" approach to #ShadowAI isn't just exhausting, it's ineffective. Our new State of Shadow AI Report (it's ungated) gives you the framework to finally step away from the hammer. Download the full report below.
If this hits a little too close to home (or work), you're not alone. The era of #ShadowAI is here. (P.S. We've been investigating, and our new 2025 State of Shadow AI Report lands next week. You're going to want to read it.)
A new and dangerous self-replicating worm, dubbed the Shai-Hulud attack, à la Frank Herbert's Dune, is actively spreading through JavaScript NPM. The malware strain steals developer credentials and then exposes them on new GitHub repositories, creating a cascading threat.
When seconds matter, clarity is everything. Your team’s decisiveness could be the difference between suffering a breach and stopping one in its tracks. UpGuard’s cyber risk posture management platform gives lean security teams the power to detect, assess, and remediate risks in seconds.
Real risk. Real reviews. Find out why over 450 security teams ranked UpGuard #1 on G2 for three years in a row. www.upguard.com/g2 #thirdpartyriskmanagement #cybersecurity #tprm #vendorrisk #riskassessments #securityratings #securityposture #cyberrisk #threats #infosec #infosecurity
Too many tools. Too many alerts. Too little clarity. When security teams rely on a maze of disconnected point solutions, they drown in signal fog. That’s why the future of security requires consolidation and interconnected workflows.
One signal is useful. Many signals are powerful. Connected signals are transformative. That’s compounding intelligence. Less noise, more clarity. UpGuard’s CRPM platform unifies vendor, attack surface, and workforce insights, turning fragmented data into pure visibility.
In 2025, external threat detection isn’t optional. Attackers are exploiting the open, deep, and dark web faster than ever, and traditional monitoring tools leave security teams drowning in noise. That’s why we’ve launched Threat Monitoring within UpGuard Breach Risk.
Outdated tools. Isolated dashboards. Low-context alerts. That’s what most security teams are working with. Meanwhile, attackers are exploiting weaknesses with sophisticated means. The fight is far from fair, and it’s why the future of defense requires a different approach.
Shadow AI could be your org’s greatest threat. What starts as innovation (a quick test of a new AI tool) can rapidly turn into exposure. UpGuard User Risk gives teams visibility into shadow AI, helping them detect and neutralize risks before they become breaches.
Did you know that 75% of all breaches involve a human element? But one "bad" click doesn't have to become a breach. UpGuard User Risk gives security teams the visibility to detect and neutralize harmful activity before attackers can act.
Introducing The UpGuardian. Our brand-new monthly newsletter is here. In every issue, we’ll pull back the curtain on the cyber threat landscape by exploring the actors, tools, and tactics that shape today’s risks. Subscribe now to read Issue 1: www.upguard.com/subscribe
Security teams aren't missing threats for lack of effort. They're missing them because their tools can't connect the dots. UpGuard's CRPM platform reveals the full picture and unifies insights, so you can see the unseen risks hiding across your vendors, attack surface, and workforce.
Every breach leaves a trail if you know where to look. Leaked credentials. Stealer logs. Dark web chatter. These are the breadcrumbs of a breach. Watch our on-demand webinar to learn how to identify these external threat signals and act before attackers can exploit them.
