Extra layer of protection valid?

Hello David,


Many IT teams fully trust their local backup copies, until a ransomware infection manages to compromise them as well.

The good news is that there’s a simple way to keep immutable, protected copies in the Cloud out of ransomware’s reach, without modifying your current on-prem infrastructure.

If you’d like, I can show you how other organizations in your industry are applying this approach to reinforce their continuity and recovery strategy.

2026 GenAI Code Security Report
 
The 2026 report gives AppSec and engineering leaders model-by-model data to act on.
 
 
 

What factors are driving your decisions when choosing AI coding tools? UX and speed? Security pass rates?

Across 100+ models tested, the average security pass rate is 56%. Models purpose-built for code average 51%. General-purpose models average 52%. There's no safety advantage to the tools that were sold specifically for developers.

GPT-5.5 leads at 68%. The worst performer fails on 1 in 2 security tasks. If your team is using something in the middle of that spread, you need to know where it lands.

The 2026 GenAI Code Security Report gives you the model-by-model breakdown and how to make the best security decision for you and your team moving forward.

Veracode named Overall Leader in SSCS according to KuppingerCole Analysts.

 
 
 
 
 
Veracode Recognized as an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole Analysts' 2026 SSCS Compass
 
The 2026 analysis covers Veracode's package security, AI remediation, and code-to-cloud risk capabilities.
 
 
 

KuppingerCole Analysts' 2026 Leadership Compass on Software Supply Chain Security names Veracode an Overall Leader - and calls out code signing and attestation as the market's most critical unmet need. Most vendors still can't meet EU CRA, NIST SP 800-218, and DORA requirements in these areas. Veracode can.

The report covers Package Firewall and Veracode Fix in detail: 130+ language SAST with a false positive rate below 1.1%, malicious package detection within seconds of publication, and SBOM generation in CycloneDX, SPDX, and JSON formats. The full vendor ranking and capability analysis is inside.

 
 
 
 

Looking Ahead at Your Security Strategy

Hi David,

As teams continue to evaluate their security posture, many IT and security leaders are revisiting what's working, what needs attention, and where they can strengthen their defenses going forward. I'd like to introduce myself as a point of contact for you here at WatchGuard, and share a few updates that may support your security planning as you look ahead.

What's new from WatchGuard:
  • EPDR – Unified endpoint protection with automated response
  • ThreatSync (NDR) – Centralized detection and response across your environment
  • FireCloud (SASE) – Secure remote access built on zero-trust principles
  • MDR – 24/7 threat hunting without adding workload to your team
If you're evaluating any security changes as part of your upcoming plans, I'd be happy to connect!

Best,
