Saket Bajoria & Saket Modi, Safe Security | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Mixture of Experts

In this theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Mixture of Experts segment, Safe Security co-founder & CEO Saket Modi and Chief Product Officer Saket Bajoria join theCUBE’s John Furrier on the NYSE floor to unpack how agentic AI is redefining third-party risk. The guests share news of Safe Security’s push to “100% automate” third-party vendor risk management, describing an autopilot experience powered by 25+ GenAI agents. From initiating a vendor assessment with just a name and email, the system scans trust centers, SOC 2 disclosures, 10-K/8-K filings, breach history and privacy policies, then pre-fills questionnaires and nudges vendors for remaining answers – complete with a universal document uploader that extracts posture data from any report format and monitors vendors in real time. Framing third-party risk as first-party risk, they extend Safe’s risk quantification approach to unify security, compliance and business stakeholders – an intersection of tech and finance themes theCUBE is tracking closely from Wall Street to Silicon Valley.

The discussion dives into metrics and operating reality: many enterprises manage ~5,000 third parties with TPRM teams of just 1–5 people, following 30–50 steps over 4–8 weeks per assessment. Safe’s agents aim to compress that cycle to minutes (“100x faster”), deliver 100% autonomous assessments and shift 100% of decisions to risk vs. checkbox compliance – accelerating AI initiatives and vendor onboarding at scale. On business model, the team outlines first 10 third parties free, tiered flat-fee buckets (with unlimited seats) instead of per-vendor pricing and, for first-party risk, usage tied to API ingestion (e.g., CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler). They also highlight integrations with contract lifecycle management systems to parse limitation-of-liability terms and connect cyber posture to dollar impact – a throughline to the deeper market dynamics and partner ecosystems shaping enterprise growth strategies.
