Hero Security

Hero Security is a cybersecurity company focused on continuous vendor risk management. Its platform is designed to help organizations gain visibility into their vendor ecosystems, including vendors they may not be aware of, and to monitor those vendors on an ongoing basis. Core capabilities of the HERO platform include: - Automated vendor discovery: The platform identifies all vendors interacting with a company's systems, including unknown or shadow vendors, without requiring manual input. - Continuous monitoring: HERO monitors vendor activity 24/7, tracking how external vendors interact with an organization's systems and updating risk assessments as new threats emerge. - Risk prioritization: Rather than relying on manual spreadsheet-based processes, the platform translates monitoring signals into prioritized risks that are contextualized to the specific business. The platform targets companies that rely on networks of third-party vendors, partners, and external services, which introduces supply chain and third-party risk exposure. The product is positioned as a replacement for traditional, static vendor risk assessment approaches, offering dynamic and real-time risk intelligence instead. Hero Security's offering falls within the third-party risk management (TPRM) and vendor risk management space, with an emphasis on automation and continuous visibility rather than point-in-time assessments.
