AlertMedia

A few findings stood out from our 2026 Security Maturity Benchmark Report, based on a survey of 501 senior security leaders across the U.S.:

🚩 95% of security leaders identify at least one emerging risk they believe is under-discussed internally

⚖️ 59% say their teams are understaffed

⚙️️ Only 31% operate a centralized, highly automated security ecosystem

💢 92% of organizations have experienced operational consequences tied to security readiness gaps

The data is clear:

Organizations that invest in maturing their security programs are better positioned to detect threats early, respond effectively, and maintain resilience under pressure.

Big impact starts with local action.

Over the past few weeks, AlertMedia HQ employees partnered with Austin Parks Foundation, Caritas of Austin, and Austin Animal Services to support our community through volunteering, sponsorship, and hands-on action. From park cleanups and supporting homelessness services to caring for shelter pets, we’re proud to give back to the city we call home.

Proud of our team for continuing to show up for Austin in meaningful ways.

Today, we’re introducing AlertMedia Analytics: a new way for security and risk leaders to understand program performance, identify trends, and answer critical questions—faster.

📈 Track key KPIs for executive reporting
📈 Surface trends with AI-powered insights
📈 Customize dashboards to surface important metrics

No more manual analysis. No more fragmented data.

Just clear, actionable insight—when it matters most. ⏱️

Built for organizations managing complex, global operations.

Security teams are working with more data than ever.

The challenge is turning that operational data into clear answers about what’s happening, what’s changing, and how your program is performing.

Leaders aren't just asking for an activity report.
They want to understand what the data means for the business:

📈 Where risk is increasing
📊 What trends are emerging
🧭 Which decisions to make next

But turning operational data into that level of insight often requires manual analysis, fragmented workflows, and time teams don’t have.

That’s the gap many organizations are working to close.

Next week, we’ll show you a better way.

Today, we're proud to share four leadership promotions that reflect both the progress AlertMedia has made and the trajectory we're on:

🎉 Alex Vaccaro has been named AlertMedia’s first President
🎉 Eric Curwin will serve as AlertMedia’s first Chief AI Officer
🎉 Stuart Gray steps into the role of Chief Customer Officer
🎉 John Yarbrough has been promoted to Chief Marketing Officer

These additions to our leadership team will help accelerate innovation as we introduce new capabilities that reduce alerting noise, improve time-to-detection, and help customers reach affected employees faster during critical incidents.

Fresh air, yard games, and great conversations. 🌿

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, our team at HQ got together for lunch in the park to connect and recharge.💙

At AlertMedia, supporting employee well-being means creating space for balance, connection, and community, both inside and outside the office.

One of our favorite activities: giving our team their flowers, literally and figuratively. 💐

In honor of Mother’s Day, our Austin office took some time to build fresh bouquets to take home or share with someone special. A little spring color, good company, and a fun way to celebrate the people who make AlertMedia what it is. ☀️✨
