Imagine knowing the security risk of every software vendor at a
glance. That’s the power of SecurityScorecard ratings, which are
akin to credit scores for cybersecurity.
According to the 2024 G2 Buyer Behavior Report, 81% of software
buyers said they consider a vendor’s history with breaches or
security incidents when evaluating software solutions. This G2
partnership was developed to improve cyber risk management and also
make security a key decision factor right from the start.
Dr. Chase Cunningham, VP of Security Market Research at G2,
said: “We know security is important to our buyers. With
SecurityScorecard, we are equipping B2B buyers with the powerful
insights they need to make informed, secure software decisions.
Together, we will continue to partner and set a new standard for
cybersecurity transparency and trust.”
Unmatched breach prediction
SecurityScorecard’s groundbreaking breach prediction, powered by
advanced AI capabilities and data from 15,000 historical breaches,
is unmatched. An “F grade” means a company is 14 times more likely
to experience a breach. SecurityScorecard also offers innovative
tools such as Score Planner and Action Plans, which guide companies
on how to improve their cybersecurity. SecurityScorecard is
designed to help organizations systematically enhance their
cybersecurity, and ultimately secure the entire digital
ecosystem.
Sachin Bansal, President of SecurityScorecard, added:
“Our partnership with G2 marks a significant step towards making
cybersecurity a core component of software purchasing decisions. By
providing transparent, actionable security ratings,
SecurityScorecard enables G2’s software buyers to make more
informed choices, now also based on the security of that
vendor."
