Shoutout to the IT & security professionals who: ✅ Shipped a project that made employees' lives easier ✅ Stopped a threat before it became an incident ✅ Automated something that used to take hours ✅ Made compliance less painful for your team ✅ Said no to adding another tool to the stack You're not just keeping the lights on. You're making work better. In a world that tends to notice IT when something breaks... these wins deserve recognition. We see you. 🙌 What's a recent win your IT or security team had?

2020: "Everyone work from home immediately!" 2021-2023: "We'll figure out the security later." 2024-2025: Later is now. For many companies, remote work isn't considered to be temporary anymore. But most security models still treat it like an exception rather than the default. The problem with traditional security is that it assumed a perimeter. Employees inside the network, and threats outside of it. Remote work killed the perimeter. Now employees are everywhere, on every network, using every device. The companies adapting fastest aren't trying to recreate the perimeter. Instead, they're strengthening security around the endpoints themselves. Every device becomes its own security boundary. Identity becomes the new perimeter. Trust isn't assumed. It's verified continuously. How has your security model evolved since 2020?

Let's talk about the integration illusion. That's when vendors promise their tools integrate seamlessly, but the reality is: -It took your team 6 weeks to set up -The integration breaks every time either vendor updates -It passes data back and forth but doesn't actually create a unified experience -Your team still has to log into multiple dashboards to get the full picture Real integration isn't about APIs connecting tools. It's about unified platforms that were designed from the ground up to work together. True Integration: Your identity, endpoint security, and compliance systems share a single view of your users, apps, and devices. When something changes, everything that needs to know about it knows instantly because it's one platform, rather than connected tools. Is your security stack truly integrated, or are you just under the illusion of integration?

Massive congratulations to Anthropic who hit a $350B valuation with this new strategic partnership. 🔥 This is a huge signal of their growth and scale, as they nearly doubled their valuation from $183B just two months ago. We're excited to see you continue to redefine what's possible for scaling companies.

A big congratulations to our customer Cursor on raising $2.3B at a $29.3B valuation. Cursor is built to make devs extraordinarily productive, and we strive to do the same for IT & security teams. Big things ahead. We love to see it. 🥳

The first speaker announcement of MacAD.UK 2026 is our very own Darren Wallace. 👏👏👏 Daz will be taking the stage for his fifth time, and if you've had the opportunity to hear him in the past, you know he always brings valuable insights and takeaways.

Your security stack isn't just costing you money in licenses. It's costing you: Time: Your team spends hours each week context-switching between dashboards Talent: Good security engineers didn't sign up to be glorified ticket routers Visibility: Critical signals get lost when data lives in 15 different places Speed: Every new tool adds friction to your incident response time One CISO recently told us: "We have so many security tools that half the time we're securing the security stack itself." The irony? Most organizations add these tools thinking they're reducing risk. But fragmentation is its own risk. When you can't see the full picture, you can't protect it. The companies winning at security aren't the ones with the most added-on tools. They're the ones with the most integrated view of their users, apps, and devices. What's the hidden cost of tool sprawl in your organization? 🤔

The problem with most tools in IT stacks isn't actually what they do, but rather, it's what they don't know. Your endpoint security tools know about devices and threats. Your identity & access platform knows about users and access. Your compliance system knows about controls and evidence. But none of them truly know what the others know. That incomplete picture leads to: False positives (because of lack of context) Delayed responses (because someone has to manually correlate the data) Blind spots (because the tools can't see the full picture) A major benefit of Iru is that it was built as one platform that knows the full context of your organization. The Iru Context Model works behind the scenes across identity, endpoint security, and compliance to understand the relationships between your users, apps, and devices. It knows who the user is and their risk profile. It understands the device health and compliance status. It sees the access patterns and app relationships. It can make recommendations and respond appropriately across your entire system. What could your security team do if they had complete context to make smarter decisions, faster?

What if your security stack was designed like your favorite consumer product? Seamless. Intuitive. Where every feature works together naturally because it was built that way from the start. Instead, most IT stacks look like this: - Endpoint tool from Vendor A (acquired 3 companies to build it) - Identity & access tool from Vendor B (doesn't seamlessly integrate with Vendor A) - Compliance system from Vendor C (needs separate integration layers) - 12 other tools stitched together to fill gaps The problem isn't just complexity. It's that each tool optimizes for itself, not for your organization. Iru solves for this. We built one integrated platform that gives you a single view of your users, apps, and devices. Identity, endpoint security, and compliance truly work together; not as separate tools that happen to integrate, but as a unified platform. When your tools naturally work together, here's what changes: - You stop context switching between dashboards - You see the full picture, not fragments - You make better decisions, faster - You eliminate unnecessary frustrations - Your team actually enjoys using the platform What would change for your team if your core security tools actually worked together?

IT & security teams didn't sign up to be ticket chasers. They became IT professionals to build, secure, and improve systems. To solve complex problems. To move the business forward. But when you're managing a fragmented stack of 15+ tools, many professionals end up becoming someone who spends their day jumping between dashboards, chasing alerts, and manually connecting the dots. Iru gives you that time back. One platform. One view. With powerful automation that handles the repetitive work so you can focus on what matters, and get back to the strategic work. How much time does your team currently spend chasing tickets vs. improving your security posture?
