The line between human risk and machine risk is blurring – and most security teams aren’t ready for it.

Excited to see @Living_Security tackle this head-on with their new AI-native Human Risk Management platform. The Livvy AI engine surfaces behavioral risk signals across both humans and AI agents and automatically drives remediation before incidents happen.

This is the kind of proactive, unified approach the enterprise security stack has been missing.

@Shufti_Global was one of just five vendors to meet all DHS RIVR 2025 goals, highlighting how challenging high-assurance remote identity verification really is. Independent evaluations like this raise the bar for accuracy, security, and trust in digital onboarding and we are excited to see Shufti on the list.

New brand. New platform release. Because the gap between AI demos and AI in production is almost always a data problem: https://t.co/ucIRlWinMG

We tested 5 MCP providers across 378 enterprise queries. CData Connect AI hit 98.5% accuracy. The next closest was in the 70s.

We are excited to announce Updata Partners has led a $27 million Series A investment in @titanXio, the Phone Intent™ platform.

TitanX solves one of the most persistent challenges in B2B sales: the 97% of cold calls that never connect.

Using proprietary scoring technology, TitanX identifies which prospects are most likely to answer the phone—before a rep ever dials. The result: customers consistently achieve 20-30% connect rates, 5-6x the industry average.

What stood out to us:
-250%+ YoY revenue growth
-300+ customers acquired largely through word of mouth
-Profitable and disciplined execution from day one
-Category-defining positioning in Phone Intent

As outbound becomes more challenging and expensive, TitanX has built the intelligence layer that modern revenue teams need.

We’re proud to partner with Joey Gilkey and the TitanX team as they scale this platform to sales organizations everywhere!

Excited to share that @Living_Security just launched an AI-native Human Risk Management platform, designed to help security teams cut through noise and turn risk insights into real action. Built from the ground up with AI at the core, the platform brings clarity, speed, and measurable outcomes to managing human and AI-driven risk.

It’s powered by Livvy, the embedded intelligence that helps teams predict risk, understand what matters, and respond faster.

A major step forward for security awareness tools and a big moment for Human Risk Management.
