UpGuard has been selected for the Internet2 NET+ service portfolio, positioning its Vendor Risk product as a standardized third-party risk management solution for research and higher education institutions across the Internet2 community. Following a competitive procurement and evaluation process involving 14 universities, UpGuard gains structured access to a large, security-sensitive customer base with simplified procurement, community-driven requirements, and pre-negotiated, competitive pricing.

The NET+ UpGuard program embeds UpGuard’s AI-driven Cyber Risk Posture Management capabilities into higher education workflows, supporting HECVAT, IT accessibility, and other institutional security assessments while centralizing evidence, approvals, and continuous monitoring of vendor security posture over time. This collaboration validates UpGuard’s strategy of targeting complex, multi-vendor environments, expands its channel into a network of hundreds of U.S. universities and related entities, and is expected to drive recurring SaaS revenue as institutions seek scalable TPRM solutions amid rising cyberattacks on the education sector.
