SecurityScorecard’s New MAX Workstation Targets the Growing Crisis of Supply Chain Cyber Risk

At RSA Conference 2025, cybersecurity ratings pioneer SecurityScorecard unveiled MAX Workstation—a powerful expansion of its rapidly growing MAX platform aimed at giving service providers a major advantage in the escalating battle against supply chain threats.

Supply chain attacks have surged over the past few years, pressuring companies not only to monitor their own defenses but also to wrangle sprawling webs of third-party vendors. SecurityScorecard’s MAX Workstation addresses this head-on, providing a multitenant, AI-driven console designed to detect, prioritize, and remediate cyber risks across customers' vendor ecosystems at scale.

Since its original launch in early 2024, MAX has posted explosive growth—over 370%—making it the fastest-growing product in SecurityScorecard’s portfolio. The company’s CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy emphasized the platform’s strategic focus:

"MAX is the engine that drives cybersecurity issue resolution across distributed supply chains. We developed MAX with our service delivery partners in mind, giving them the technology they need to drive business in their customer base leveraging our technology."

A New Operating Model for Third-Party Risk

Rather than just delivering another visibility dashboard—a common pitfall among cybersecurity tools—MAX Workstation positions itself as an operational system for supply chain resilience. Service providers use the platform to organize all their managed clients in a single workspace, instantly assess vendor risk profiles, and trigger targeted remediation efforts. It’s less about admiring the problem and more about solving it.

Built-in AI capabilities prioritize risk by breach likelihood, offering prescriptive guidance that cuts through alert noise and supports faster decision-making. The platform even includes incident likelihood modeling, helping teams predict which vulnerabilities could spiral into real-world breaches if left unresolved.

That focus on actionable outcomes resonated with Kevin Duffey, Managing Director at Cyber Rescue, a MAX Workstation partner:

"SecurityScorecard has delivered a partner-ready solution that seamlessly integrates with our solutions for enhancing supply chain resilience. The MAX Workstation enables our teams to efficiently apply our expertise and deliver risk reduction outcomes for our customers."

Major consultancies like KPMG Canada and technology advisory groups such as P3 Group have already begun using MAX Workstation to build and scale third-party risk services. For cloud-native deployments, the product is available through AWS Marketplace, underscoring SecurityScorecard’s growing integration across enterprise environments.

Beyond Visibility: Executable Remediation at Scale

SecurityScorecard’s product leadership views MAX Workstation as more than an upgrade—it’s a fundamental shift in approach.

“We built MAX Workstation to solve an execution problem," said Adam Bixler, Chief Product Officer at SecurityScorecard. "Partners don’t need another dashboard. They need a system that enables scalable vendor assessments, drives real-time remediation, and absorbs the operational complexity of third-party cyber risk management. That’s what MAX is architected to do."

In a cybersecurity world flooded with monitoring tools that deliver alerts but leave teams struggling to respond, that focus on tangible, real-world action could be the difference between an early warning and a major breach.

SecurityScorecard’s Bigger Picture: SCDR

MAX Workstation is the newest extension of SecurityScorecard’s broader push into Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR)—a concept the company is evangelizing as the next evolution beyond traditional third-party risk management. Instead of episodic vendor assessments, SCDR treats supply chain threats as active, dynamic risks requiring continuous surveillance and immediate response.

Backed by investment heavyweights like Sequoia Capital, Silver Lake, and Intel Capital, SecurityScorecard now counts two-thirds of the Fortune 100 among its customers, with endorsements from agencies like the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

MAX Workstation will be on full display this week at RSA Conference at Booth #N-6359. For cybersecurity leaders struggling to corral their third-party risks, it may be a timely glimpse at the future of supply chain defense—one where early detection isn't enough without the muscle to act.
