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. livingsecurity.com/pr-living…

Excited to see the next chapter for @cdatasoftware. This launch highlights how rethinking the data layer for AI can help bridge the gap between AI demos and AI production. Connect your AI assistants and agents to 350 enterprise systems in minutes with CData’s managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform. cdata.com/ai/
New brand. New platform release. Because the gap between AI demos and AI in production is almost always a data problem: bit.ly/4buZbds 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! titanx.io/news/titanx-raises…
