Honored to share that Reach Security has been named on the TechRound100, recognizing the most impactful and innovative startups of the year. This milestone reflects the problem we’re focused on solving: most organizations don’t lack tools—they lack visibility into how those tools are actually deployed. By exposing misconfigurations, shallow deployments, and missing protections, Reach helps teams fix the risks that matter most before they become incidents.

Most organizations don’t lack intent; they lack a clear understanding of what’s deployed today, what gaps matter most, and how to turn guidance into enforceable baselines. Reach connects to your existing security tools and automatically maps configurations to established maturity models like CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model 2.0 — producing a real-time posture assessment across identity, device, endpoint, email, and network with no surveys or guesswork.

Moderated by Nicole Perlroth, this session at UC Irvine’s Digital Leadership Agenda 2026 surfaces a foundational reality in cybersecurity: Most organizations lack a clear, empirical understanding of how their security is actually deployed. Our Co-founder & CEO Garrett Hamilton outlines: Why proactive security remains difficult — because accuracy depends on conversations, assumptions, and fragmented knowledge across IT and security teams.

One platform to rule them all? Not quite. As Jay Wilson puts it, security stacks behave like a rubber band — always stretching between broad platforms and best-of-breed tools. No enterprise runs on a single vendor. But no one survives seventy, either. The real objective is coherence: a custom platform built from what your business already owns. That’s where Reach fits. ⇢ Unifies disparate controls into one operational view⇢ Bridges gaps as stacks expand or contract⇢ Turns your actual environment into a cohesive, measurable platform.

New product tour who dis Most teams aren’t getting the full value out of their Microsoft E3/E5 stack — not because the tools aren’t powerful, but because the configurations are complex, scattered, and hard to operationalize. Reach maximizes your Microsoft security investment: Interrogating your current Microsoft security configurations→ Reach evaluates the current capabilities of the existing E3/E5 environment, analyzes how the current licenses are being utilized, and identifies opportunities to leverage E5 features to enhance the organization’s security posture.

We're live. Cheyenne, Walter, and Cain are giving demos, answering questions, and showing how Reach helps teams optimize their security stack. Level up your knowledge and get some loot on this side quest. Come see us: Microsoft Ignite — San Francisco Booth 4037 November 18–21, 2025.

Microsoft's E3 and E5 security tools offer powerful defensive capabilities, but without proper configuration, critical protections can be overlooked. Reach identifies misconfigurations and underutilized capabilities across your Microsoft security stack, then deploys fixes to optimize your tooling, eliminate exposures, and reduce risk.

Security is entering a phase where operationalization becomes the true competitive edge. Garrett puts it plainly—much of AI’s usefulness right now comes from supporting the repetitive, high-volume operational work, and that is likely here to stay. Sebastian and John point to the same pressure: more sensors, more platforms, more enforcement points… yet the real bottleneck is how teams turn those capabilities into daily practice.
