Cybersecurity automation has followed a path familiar to many emerging technologies: a cycle of inflated expectations, hard realities, and eventual refinement. Gartner’s “hype cycle” provides a useful framework for understanding this journey—initial enthusiasm and lofty expectations give way to challenges and disillusionment before practical, high-value use cases emerge.

When it comes to vulnerability management, time is critical - the longer a vulnerability goes unaddressed, the greater the risk. Security teams need efficient, reliable processes that don’t drain resources. For most teams, relying on human effort alone isn’t sustainable or scalable. This is why so many teams turn to workflow orchestration and automation.

We’re entering the Spring season, which can mean only one thing - You Did WHAT With Tines?! (YDWWT) Is back! Our bi-annual competition invites Tines builders to submit their most impressive workflows with a chance to win some exciting prizes, including a trip to a very special customer event.

My conversation with Cian Geoghegan, Reddit’s Staff CorpTech Systems Engineer, was packed with valuable insights and actionable takeaways for IT teams. Webinar attendees got to hear how Cian's team uses Tines to automate critical IT processes, improve efficiency and reduce manual workloads. Read on to hear, in Cian’s own words, why Reddit chose Tines for their IT orchestration and automation, what improvements they’ve seen so far, and what the future holds.

Today, we celebrate an exciting milestone in the Tines journey, a $125 million Series C fundraise from both new and existing investors, and company valuation of $1.125 billion. While these are big numbers, they reflect something even bigger - the opportunity to continue building what our customers already recognize as a life-changing product.

At Torq, our commitment to security has always been at the forefront of our mission to empower businesses through our SaaS platform. Today, we’re proud to announce a significant step forward in our security journey: Torq has signed the CISA Secure by Design Pledge. This pledge underscores our dedication to ensuring that our customers can trust our platform to uphold the highest security standards, enabling customers to focus on their goals without concerns about their security posture.

For security teams, resolving a cloud incident takes an average of 10 days — time attackers can exploit to cause further damage. The problem? SOCs often lack the context and cloud security automation they need to respond faster. That’s where the partnership between Torq and Sweet Security changes the game.
