On March 9th, we attended the 5th Cybersecurity Forum, organized by TI Inside, one of the most relevant technology outlets in Brazil, which, once again, put together the event with great competence and care. From the venue to the connections that took place there, the curation made a difference. We left with great conversations, some confirmations, and an even clearer perception of the moment the market is currently experiencing.

CVEs, budget, and regulatory pressure: the three themes that appeared in almost every conversation.
Throughout the day, we spoke with engineering, security, and technology leaders from various sectors. It was not a homogeneous conversation, but some points were repeated with enough consistency to draw attention.
CVE management remains an operational pain. It consumes time, budget, and requires continuous effort from a team that, most of the time, has other priorities competing for the same space. It was not a marginal topic: it appeared in practically every exchange we had.
Along with this, it became clear that regulatory pressure has already reached the supplier chain. The conversation about security is no longer just internal. It involves traceability, technical responsibility for what is in production, and the ability to demonstrate this to whoever asks, whether it's an auditor, an investor, or a partner.
And the difficulty of selling security within the organizations themselves persists. The budget is still primarily directed to engineering and product; security still needs to gain a narrative that speaks better to the business vision, justifying itself in a language that the business understands.
"The event made it clear that companies are increasingly focused on prioritizing risks and evolving their cybersecurity maturity. Being in this exchange environment with CISOs and executives reinforces how much we can contribute as strategic partners, supporting organizations in mitigating risks associated with vulnerabilities in highly critical environments."

On the panel: ROI, reputation, and what is at stake
On the panel in which our CEO participated, the debate took on a shape that went beyond the technical. The central question was not "how to protect better," but "how to demonstrate that security generates a return." And the answer, in essence, is simpler than it seems: reputation is worth more than any sense of security. When a company cannot present technical evidence of what is in production, it is accepting a risk that, at some point, will demand its price.
"Starting in March 2026, the market splits in two: companies that have technical evidence of integrity in their software chain, and companies that have PDFs. Technical security debt is already a valuation haircut in M&A and in due diligence, whoever finds the problem defines the price. The Central Bank wants evidence. Investors want evidence. Acquirers want evidence. A PDF does not close a round."
Diogo Goebel, CEO of Getup
Our mascot: Quindim
The friendliest Jack Russell Terrier in Brazil was present, of course.
For those who don't know: Quindim is Getup's mascot, an expert in making anyone smile in less than five seconds. At the Cybersecurity Forum, he was exactly that, the starting point for conversations that might otherwise have taken longer to begin.
People came over to say hello to him, stayed to talk about CVEs, supply chain, and left with a cute story to tell about our mascot at the event.
It is hard to measure Quindim's ROI, but we can state that he always delivers.
What remains after the event
There are things that linger after an event like this. The sweet treat that appeared at just the right time, between one conversation and another, the yellow bag that everyone wanted to take home, the booth that people returned to show to their colleagues... We thought about these details because we want Quor to be remembered beyond the technical conversation.
"For us, technology is built with people. That is what guided our presence at the event. From the beginning, the question was how to translate, in the booth, who Quor really is: a technical brand, with personality, a rebellious touch, and a team that masters the subject. The orange booth at the Cybersecurity Forum was the materialization of this idea."
Marina Mazzuco, Marketing Specialist, Getup
We left the event with good conversations, challenges in mind, and the certainty that there is plenty of relevant work ahead, and that Quor is in the right place to do it.
Operating Kubernetes in production for more than 13 years. With Quor, this experience extends to software supply chain security as well.
