Dark Web Monitoring Vendors Compared

Sep 11, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
According to the 2026 Context Gap research, 79% of organizations first learn about active threats from outsiders rather than their own tooling. You've watched another headline roll past of a Fortune 500 company exposed on the dark web. Each story ends the same way: with a breach notification and inevitable board questions. You decide your company won't be the next case study. You need a tool that'll find your exposures before an attacker does.

The Best Vendor Performance Management Tools and Software (2026)

Sep 10, 2026 By Cassy van Eeden In UpGuard
If you manage vendors, supplier drift looks familiar. A delivery arrives late. A vendor misses a service-level agreement (SLA) target, and nobody flags it. Tickets sit unresolved, and quality dips just enough that it never makes the weekly stand-up. The problem is timing. Most teams find out a vendor missed its uptime or response-time targets at renewal, months after anyone could’ve fixed it.

Cyber Resilience Act Preparedness: Who's Ready, and Who Can't Be Reached

Sep 9, 2026 By Greg Pollock In UpGuard
Computers are not safe. Even the best hardware and software products have the potential to conceal as-yet unknown vulnerabilities. And they aren’t all made that well. Many are shuffled into the world without a plan to detect, remediate, and notify users of those vulnerabilities. The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act aims to improve that situation.

Introducing App Store Threat Detection: Visibility Where Brand Monitoring Couldn't Reach

Sep 7, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
In January 2024, Craig Raw, the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet app, warned that a fake version of his app was live on the Apple App Store. He reported it repeatedly, but the listing stayed up. By August 2025, three people had lost a combined $1.8 million to it: Jalen Delgado (about $120,000 in May 2025), James Ramirez (about $875,000 in July 2025), and Christopher Ellis (about $840,000 in August 2025). All three are now suing Apple. The complaint, Ramirez, et al. v.

Best Shadow AI Governance Tools for Enterprises: Buyer's Shortlist

Sep 7, 2026 By Shane Moosa In UpGuard
Security teams already know employees use generative AI. The harder problem is buying the right platform before unsanctioned apps move sensitive data outside your visibility and control. UpGuard research found 81% of employees and 88% of security leaders use unapproved AI tools, and 45% of workers find a workaround when their employer blocks an app. That last number should shape your buying criteria more than the first two. Demand doesn't disappear when you block it. It moves somewhere you can't see.

The Best IT and Cyber Risk Management Software

Sep 3, 2026 By Cassy van Eeden In UpGuard
When you search for IT risk management software, the results rarely agree on what the category is. Product pages pitch enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) suites. Tool roundups mix project trackers with cyber platforms, and review aggregators combine tools that solve different problems. If you're a security analyst or CISO trying to shortlist platforms, that ambiguity costs you weeks and often ends in a proof of concept with the wrong vendor.

Cybersecurity Leaders React to OpenAI's Hugging Face Breach UpGuard

Sep 2, 2026 By UpGuard In UpGuard
In July 2026, OpenAI's own AI agents escaped their sandbox and reached Hugging Face's production systems during an internal cybersecurity evaluation. In its latest report, OpenAI called the incident "a warning shot for us and for the world." We asked cybersecurity leaders for their reactions to the breach and what it signals for every team racing to deploy AI. One detail stands out. Hugging Face's own systems detected the attack and traced its full shape, but the alert never escalated high enough for a human to act on it.

How to Choose Trust Center Software

Sep 1, 2026 By Edward Kost In UpGuard
Trust center software is what helps you publish a branded, access-controlled security page so buyers can self-serve certifications, policies, and answers to previously completed questionnaires. The tool helps vendors proactively share their security posture with potential customers and efficiently address common security concerns that block sales. Don't confuse this with Microsoft Office Trust Center. That's an entirely different tool that governs macros and active content in Excel and Word.

Biggest Data Breaches in Telecommunications (Updated September 2026)

Sep 1, 2026 By Lance Turner In UpGuard
Telecommunications providers sit at the center of modern life, carrying the calls, messages, locations, account credentials, and identity data that connect billions of people and businesses. Which makes them uniquely valuable targets: criminals want subscriber records they can monetize, while nation-state actors want access to the networks themselves. The biggest telecom data breaches show how quickly weak security measures can escalate from a customer privacy incident into a national security event.
