Reach Security

?? “You can cover a surprising amount of your attack surface with small improvements to what you already have.” – Barmak Meftah At Security Leader Day, Mak reminded us that security hygiene and operational efficiency aren’t just buzzwords, they’re the lens through which boards, CIOs, and CISOs are evaluating success. Before buying more, teams are focused on maximizing what they already own. It’s not about more tools, it’s about making every control count. #SecurityLeadership #CyberSecurity #SecurityOptimization #RiskReduction #SecurityLeaderDay #CISO #CIO #SecurityROI

?? “The investments we make in cybersecurity need to be maximized and optimized as much as possible because dollars are limited.” – Joe Masud At Security Leader Day, Joe shared how relationships with the business are table stakes—but what really moves the needle is showing how optimized security investments drive real business value.

“In this case it wasn’t a nation-state. It was a bumbling group of cybercriminals.” At Security Leader Day, Nicole Perlroth reminded us that despite all the emerging threats and shiny new tech, it’s often the basics that still trip us up. The Colonial Pipeline breach started with a single forgotten user account and missing MFA. It's a powerful example of how exposure piles up when the fundamentals are overlooked. ??

?? A big week on both coasts! We had a blast watching March Madness with friends from #Netskope, #CrowdStrike, #Abnormal, and #Wiz .. great games, even better company. Meanwhile, back in the Bay, SINET Silicon Valley brought together innovators, investors, and public sector leaders to dig into some of the biggest cybersecurity challenges we’re all working to solve. Whether courtside or on the conference floor, we’re always grateful for the conversations and connections that move the industry forward. ??

?? "Are we ever done?" That’s the question Reach investor Barmak Meftah of Ballistic Ventures asked may years ago.. and today, with over 3,000 venture-funded cybersecurity companies, the answer is still no. Security isn’t a one-time fix. The attack surface expands, threats evolve, and adversaries force obsolescence of old defenses. The key? Smart investing. ?? How much risk exposure do we actually have? ?? Are we making the most of the security spend already in place? ?? Is the board part of the solution or just another challenge? Watch Mak break down why great security leaders assess, quantify, and communicate risk, ensuring security spend aligns with what their enterprise actually needs. ??

?? More security tools ≠ better security. Organizations keep adding tools, but misconfigurations, underutilized features, and security gaps still persist. True security optimization isn’t about buying more.. it’s about making what you already have work smarter. ? Identify hidden gaps in your security stack ? Prioritize high-impact controls that actually reduce risk ? Fix misconfigurations with guided remediation ? Continuously validate your security posture to prevent drift Stop chasing dashboards. Start optimizing security. Check out our latest blog to see how security teams are transforming their defenses with a structured, outcome-driven approach. ?? https://lnkd.in/dQEn_mhh #CyberSecurity #SecurityOptimization #SecurityPosture #RiskReduction #Automation

?? Security isn’t just about risk.. it’s about delivering measurable value. At Security Leader Day, Raymond Winder broke down how he aligns security with business goals: by proving the ROI of existing investments, demonstrating real impact, and preparing for what’s next.. like securing AI. ?? When security teams show the value they bring.. whether it’s blocking attacks or enhancing products.. getting buy-in for future investments becomes a whole lot easier.

?? Too Much Noise, Not Enough Clarity Security teams are drowning in alerts, complexity, and constant pressure. As Nicole Perlroth pointed out at Security Leader Day, AI is only adding to the noise, making it harder.. not easier.. for defenders to focus on what really matters. So how do we help them? How do we cut through the noise instead of adding to it? Because blaming security teams.. or worse, holding them legally responsible.. isn’t the solution. The solution is simplification, clarity, and action. Watch the clip to hear Nicole’s take on why reducing complexity is one of the biggest security challenges of our time. #CyberSecurity #SecurityLeadership #Automation #RiskReduction #SecuritySimplified

?? Security isn’t a one-time project.. it’s a continuous process. During the recent SINET webinar, Joe Masud shared how his team moved beyond one-time maturity assessments and embraced automation to continuously measure and monitor security controls. By leveraging platforms like Reach, they’ve streamlined this process, reduced manual effort, and ensured their defenses stay aligned with real-world threats. When security teams can automate control validation, they free up resources to focus on what really matters.. driving better security outcomes.
