Drata Reveals Breakthrough AI Agent to Redefine Vendor Risk Management

Gamechanging agentic AI vision transforms compliance from static checklist to autonomous, continuous Trust Management

Drata, the leader in AI-native Trust Management, announced the first public look at its AI Agent for Vendor Risk Management (VRM), an autonomous, context-aware assistant built to transform how enterprises evaluate and manage vendor risk. This preview is the first step in Drata’s broader vision: a shift from manual, fragmented GRC tools to autonomous Trust Management powered by AI agents. Trust Management serves as the foundation for governance, risk, compliance, and assurance (GRC-A), building continuous confidence in an organization’s security, compliance, and risk posture, and proving it across the business.

Legacy GRC platforms have historically posed a manual burden, fragmented across spreadsheets and siloed tools that expose organizations to costly errors, failing audits, and an incomplete view into their risk posture. Drata flips that paradigm, transforming governance, risk, compliance, and now assurance from a cost center into a proactive business accelerator, representing four tangible pillars of trust. Drata already leads the way in purpose-built AI solutions designed for scale, speed, and clarity with an existing suite of products and features such as SOC 2 AI Summaries, AI Summaries for Continuous Control Monitoring, and AI Questionnaire Assistance. At the forefront of an agentic AI era, the company also recently launched the Drata Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling organizations to instantly power AI workflows with live, actionable context, integrating directly with tools like Claude, and Integrated Developed Environments (IDEs). The company is now accelerating toward a fully agentic platform where specialized, autonomous AI agents act on behalf of users to evaluate risks, validate evidence, trigger workflows, and manage trust autonomously.

The VRM Agent is the first in a series of AI agents that will launch across the Drata platform, with dedicated Trust and Compliance Agents in development. Built for teams managing thousands of third parties, the VRM Agent automates vendor risk assessments that previously took weeks—cutting time, increasing consistency, and scaling trust across the supply chain.

The VRM Agent includes key capabilities such as:

Automated Criteria Extraction and Mapping: The Drata VRM Agent ingests vendor questionnaires or custom criteria (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), establishing a consistent, scalable baseline for risk assessments and removing manual setup.
AI-Powered Document Review and Risk Scoring: Integrated with SafeBase Trust Center, the agent saves valuable time by collecting vendor artifacts and analyzing them against defined criteria to flag risks, assign scores, and produce clear, structured reports with source-backed findings.
Dynamic Report Generation and Follow-Up Orchestration: Generate executive summaries, issue follow-up questionnaires for gaps or concerns, and automatically re-assess vendors as new responses are submitted for real-time visibility.

“Drata is pushing the boundaries of what GRC can be with Agentic Trust Management,” said Ali Firooz, Security Engineering Manager at Homebase. “Their AI vision goes beyond automation; it’s about enabling a future where trust is dynamic, intelligent, and woven into every decision. It’s changing how we think about assurance, and we’re excited to be on this journey with them.”

“Vendor Risk Management requires significant oversight, making it one of the most resource-draining and error-prone areas of trust today. Our new AI agent delivers speed, precision, and continuous insight that wasn’t possible before,” said Adam Markowitz, cofounder and CEO of Drata. “This is a defining chapter for our vision, and with our Trust Management platform powered by agentic AI, enterprises can move faster, gain efficiency, and scale trust across every part of the business.”

Lyric Raises $43.5M Series B to Transform Supply Chain Decision Making with AI

Lyric Raises $43.5M Series B to Transform Supply Chain Decision Making with AI

Lyric, a leading AI-powered platform transforming supply chain decision making, announced it has raised $43.5 million in Series B funding. The round was led by global software investor Insight Partners, with participation from Primary Venture Partners, Permanent Capital Ventures, VMG Partners, PSP Growth and NewBuild Venture Capital.

Lyric’s momentum continues to accelerate. Revenue has grown 500% since emerging from stealth 18 months ago, with enterprise adoption now spanning Fortune 500 companies across a range of industries.

A new model for supply chain intelligence

Supply chain teams are under growing pressure to make faster, smarter decisions, but many are held back by rigid tools that simply can’t keep up. As Gartner® notes, “today, many of the activities associated with data, including preparation, transformation, pattern identification, model development and sharing insights with others, lack augmentation and automation. While demands for more analytics-enabled and near-real-time decision making remain high, technical hurdles and data quality concerns limit user adoption and opportunities to drive business outcomes from these solutions.”*

To address this challenge, Lyric built Lyric Studio, a composable platform designed from the start to give customers the power to tailor decision-making intelligence to their unique needs. With seamless data integration, a rich library of algorithms, an intuitive workflow builder, and a built-in experience layer, Lyric puts advanced science in the hands of business users faster, easier, and with precision. It helps teams move quickly and make better decisions across modeling, planning, and frontier use cases.

“We chose Lyric as our next-generation supply chain design platform after thorough assessment of multiple considerations. Within a brief period, we are already expanding our capabilities into many unique use cases with the speed and agility to meet our strategic objectives. Lyric’s algorithmic horsepower and talented technical team are exceptional,” said Natesh Rao, Supply Chain Leader at Mondelēz International.

Investing in product, intelligence, and community

The new capital will accelerate Lyric’s product roadmap, expand its library of reusable supply chain logic, and deepen its AI-driven capabilities for experimentation, simulation, and automation. The company will also invest in customer success, onboarding, and community programs as it scales platform access for global supply chain teams.

“This investment is more than a milestone; it is a signal,” said Ganesh Ramakrishna, Co-Founder and CEO of Lyric. “Supply chains today are too complex and volatile for static software. Leaders need platforms that adapt to them, not the other way around. We are proud to be building the next generation of supply chain infrastructure.”

Looking ahead to Empower 2025

Lyric will unveil new capabilities and share its forward-looking roadmap at Empower 2025, the company’s annual conference, in Chicago on August 13–14, 2025. The event will gather supply chain leaders from across industries to explore what is possible in an AI-first, composable future.

“We believe supply chain decision making is overdue for reinvention,” said Teddie Wardi, Managing Director at Insight Partners and new Lyric board member. “Lyric’s platform-first approach delivers the flexibility and intelligence companies have been seeking for years. We are excited to back the team as they scale globally.”

Wallarm Unveils Industry-First Revenue Protection for APIs, Providing CISOs with Unparalleled Visibility Into Revenue Protected

Powerful, new capability prevents risk and drives growth by quantifying how attacks impact revenue, disrupting attacker economics, and demonstrating financial ROI

Wallarm, the leading provider of API and AI security, broke new ground with the introduction of the industry’s first-ever API Revenue Protection capability, setting a new standard for aligning API security with business impact. Delivered as a set of integrated features in the Wallarm platform, this new capability empowers CISOs to become strategic business partners by quantifying how attacks impact revenue, disrupting attacker economics, and demonstrating financial ROI.

From AI-generated abuse to account takeovers and business logic exploits, API threats are evolving faster than signatures can keep up. At the same time, organizations rely on digital revenues enabled through APIs, such as payment processing and partner integrations. Downtime or compromise of these API endpoints can result in immediate, costly consequences.

“APIs aren’t just a technical surface anymore. They are business engines,” said Ivan Novikov, CEO of Wallarm. “This release gives security teams a tool that goes beyond threat and provides visibility into business value—and acts fast enough to protect growth, not just prevent risk.”

Powered by agentic AI and transaction-aware telemetry to track revenue flows and shut down fraud in-session before attackers win, Wallarm’s new capability ensures continuous availability through protection of revenue-generating APIs, shielding them from the most sophisticated threats while providing visibility into the actual dollars at risk and protected.

Key features and benefits include:

Automated Identification of Revenue-Critical APIs: Automatically detects which APIs contribute to revenue based on traffic patterns, monetization logic, and integration context.
Transaction-Aware Revenue Attribution: Extracts revenue amounts directly from API transactions, such as order values, subscription events, or payment confirmations, to provide real-time financial insight using the actual revenue flowing through APIs.
Advanced Threat Protection for High-Value Endpoints: Delivers effective, real-time mitigation of attacks, protecting revenue-generating APIs from OWASP Business Logic Abuse Top 10, account takeover (ATO) attacks, data scraping and credential stuffing, agentic AI-driven attacks, and business logic anomalies that can lead to fraud or service abuse.
Business Context-Aware Detection and Response: Adapts in real time to evolving threat patterns while maintaining API availability and user experience by analyzing the full business logic and transaction flows behind each API.
Purpose-Built Revenue Protection Dashboard: Quantifies protected revenue, highlights attack trends targeting monetized APIs, and helps security leaders communicate their value to executive stakeholders.

Security teams can now quantify how much revenue has been protected and shift the conversation from reactive risk mitigation to proactive value creation. For digital-first enterprises, they can now measure a new security metric: Revenue Secured Per Dollar Spent.

Wallarm’s Revenue Protection for APIs will be demonstrated at Black Hat USA 2025 in Las Vegas, is available for Early Access, and will be generally available in the second half of 2025.

CyberQ Group Announces Strategic Partnership with IRONSCALES to Strengthen Email Security for Global Clients

CyberQ Group, a global leader in managed security services and cyber risk advisory, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with IRONSCALES, the award-winning email security platform powered by AI and human insights. This partnership will deliver intelligent, adaptive email protection to clients across sectors, helping organisations proactively detect and respond to advanced phishing, business email compromise threats, and zero-day attacks that other solutions miss.

We are thrilled to partner with IRONSCALES to extend our cyber defence capabilities with intelligent email threat protection”

— Chris Woods – CyberQ Group CEO

As cyber attackers increasingly exploit human error and email vulnerabilities, this partnership equips clients with next-generation defences; combining CyberQ Group’s 24/7 SOC capabilities and cybersecurity expertise with IRONSCALES’ self-learning, cloud-native email security platform.
“We are thrilled to partner with IRONSCALES to extend our cyber defence capabilities with intelligent email threat protection,” said Chris Woods, CEO of CyberQ Group. “Together, we are already protecting clients in sectors such as logistics, professional services, and healthcare where email compromise has historically caused significant operational and reputational risk. We look forward to extending this partnership with both our existing clients, who trust us to evolve their defences, and new organisations seeking a smarter, more adaptive approach to email security.”

Real-World Impact: Case Studies from the Field Logistics & Distribution: A large UK-based logistics company saw a 73% drop in phishing incidents within the first 30 days of deploying IRONSCALES as part of the SecureCX programme. The AI-powered platform not only stopped advanced spoofing attempts but also helped train over 2,000 users through contextual phishing simulations.

Professional Services: A regional law firm had previously suffered reputational damage from a client-facing spoofed domain attack. CyberQ Group implemented IRONSCALES with domain spoofing protection and mailbox-level remediation. Within weeks, the firm’s internal reporting rate increased 5x, and the IT team was able to automatically neutralise BEC attempts without disrupting operations.

Healthcare & Social Care: A multi-site care provider, handling sensitive patient data, benefited from the IRONSCALES integration into their Microsoft 365 environment. Working with CyberQ’s SOC, IRONSCALES enabled rapid detection of polymorphic phishing campaigns, reducing threat dwell time from hours to minutes.

“This collaboration demonstrates the power of combining cutting-edge email security technology with deep sector expertise” said Eyal Benishti, Founder and CEO of IRONSCALES. “With CyberQ Group’s understanding of industry-specific risks and our AI-driven platform, organisations gain more than a service, they get a fully integrated, real-world-ready solution that adapts to evolving threats and delivers measurable impact.”
The partnership enhances CyberQ Group’s Digital Resilience portfolio, offering clients a proactive defence against evolving email threats without adding complexity to their IT teams.

CyberQ Group’s commitment to the highest standards of excellence is demonstrated by its ISO27001 and CREST certifications. These accreditations provide clients with the assurance that their security management systems are robust and their penetration testing services meet a rigorous, internationally recognized standard.

The company’s comprehensive service portfolio is designed to address every facet of an organization’s security needs:

CREST-approved Penetration Testing: Proactively identifies and remediates exploitable vulnerabilities before they can be leveraged by attackers.

24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) & Threat Monitoring: Provides round-the-clock threat detection and rapid response capabilities, powered by their proprietary AI model, Project Q, which automates the enrichment and contextualisation of security alerts.

Cyber Security Consultancy: Offers expert guidance on risk management, compliance, and strategic security planning, acting as a virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) to many clients.

Digital Human Reconnaissance & Cyber Due Diligence: Delivers in-depth insights into an organization’s digital footprint and external risk profile.

Smart Building Cyber Assurance (SBCA): A specialized service designed to secure the interconnected physical and digital infrastructure of modern smart buildings.

The company’s ethos of innovation extends beyond its services. CyberQ Group is a leading voice in cybersecurity thought leadership, recently establishing an AI Advisory Board to shape the future of AI in cyber defence. They also actively engage the global community with impactful demonstrations of real-world threats, such as a highly successful live hacking demo presented to a packed audience at Drees & Sommer in Stuttgart, Germany, underscoring their practical expertise and dedication to raising cyber awareness.

With a core leadership team that has been collaborating for over seven years, CyberQ Group combines deep technical expertise with a collaborative and client-focused approach. This synergy has been the foundation for its success and its ambitious plan to scale to £5 million in cyber services revenue, positioning it as an indispensable partner in the fight against evolving cyber threats.

E-Invoicing: Quadient Reaches Key Milestone as Serensia Successfully Passes French Tax Authority Testing

Quadient, a global intelligent automation platform enabling secure and professional business connections, announced that Serensia, its recent acquisition in the digital segment, has successfully completed interoperability testing in live conditions as part of France’s phased rollout of mandatory e-invoicing.

Serensia, a certified French e-invoicing platform connected to the Peppol network, was selected by the French Public Finance Department, along with two other platforms, formerly designated as Partner Dematerialization Platforms (PDP) and now referred to as Certified Platforms, to participate in the first round of interoperability testing. Conducted under real-world conditions, the tests validated the public directory’s interaction with other platforms and the government’s data hub. Beyond demonstrating technical capabilities, the initiative reflects a broader commitment to strengthening collaboration between private-sector players and public authorities. The results confirm Serensia’s robustness, reliability and compliance, marking a major step forward in Quadient’s readiness and reaffirming its ability to support businesses in meeting the requirements of the e-invoicing reform.

“The French Public Finance Department’s selection of Serensia for the initial round of real-world testing speaks to the strength of the solution,” said Geoffrey Godet, CEO of Quadient. “Its successful compliance testing validates the strategic choices we’ve made, particularly the acquisition of Serensia, which now positions Quadient at the forefront of the reform’s implementation across all French companies. Our message to businesses is clear: transitioning to e-invoicing requires preparation, and Quadient is more ready than ever to support them with a proven, reliable and compliant solution.”

As of July 1, the central directory listing all VAT-registered businesses has gone live. Quadient is already able to register clients who have granted it a mandate, in accordance with the government-defined process. Through its subsidiary Serensia or its own certified platform, the company is preparing for its final registration, expected in fall 2025. This will enable it to fully support large enterprises, mid-sized companies, SMEs and accounting firms in the digital transition mandated by the reform.
