UpGuard Summit is a virtual conference that brings together global security leaders to explore the future of cyber risk.

Highlights from Upguard Summit September 2026

The New Demand: Prove It

Every reader of your security work can now ask "prove it", and most teams answer that question four different times, four different ways. See how one decision can defend itself everywhere.

The AI Standard for TPRM Teams

Would you bet your next audit on an AI summary you can't trace back to the evidence? See what good AI should actually deliver for TPRM teams: check-level depth, full citations, and a decision trail that holds up under review.

Turning TPRM Playbooks into Repeatable Workflows

New Risk Automations templates turn your TPRM playbook into a repeatable workflow: vendor onboarding, score-drop response, tickets, and escalations, all in the tools your team already uses.

From Signal to Story: Turning Threat Noise into Board-Ready Answers

62% of security leaders can't tell their board whether they're actually getting safer. See how Threat Posture turns thousands of external signals into one board-ready narrative, with the evidence trail attached.

From Discovery to Decisive Action: The New User Risk Action Center

One customer expected 20 approved apps. User Risk found over 80 running underneath. See how the new Action Center turns that discovery into a prioritized list your team can act on.

Shadow IT, Meet Automation

User Risk surfaces the shadow IT your team doesn't know about, and Risk Automations routes access requests into ServiceNow, Jira, or Teams with full context attached, so you just make the call.

Speed-to-Close: Make Security the Sales Accelerator

A two-week security review is two weeks of deal slippage, and the slower vendor loses. See how new NDA and access approvals, plus self-serve subprocessor listings, turn the review from a bottleneck into a reason deals close faster.

More Vendors, Same Team: Scaling Vendor Risk

Tarrant County's vendor risk program is scaling toward a goal of over 1000, all without a single new hire. Russell Scott shares how he's rebuilding the process to scale, including what he does when a vendor is too critical to walk away from, even if their security score says otherwise.

Vendor Evaluation in Practice

Watch three real vendor evaluations run against the clock, using nothing but Security Profile. No cherry-picked results, just the exact playbook you can take back to your team next week.
