Talk:ReliaQuest

Declaration

I am an employee of ReliaQuest, and am requesting that Wikipedia review the article for acceptance. I has been the subject of mulptiple in-depth articles by the national press, and is the name attached to a major, nationally broadcasted television broadcast. 142.176.56.188 (talk) 05:03, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Please let me know if I can provide more information as to the notability of ReliaQuest. 142.176.56.188 (talk) 05:05, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Draft concerns

I have issued a declaration of conflict of interest on my user page and am now doing so here. The last draft rejection came with a note that this draft content should be merged with another page on Wikipedia. I assume they meant the page of the Bowl Game that ReliaQuest sponsors, but this would not be appropriate as that page is about a football game rather than this computer security company. I have looked at all the sources and all appear to fit the WP:RS rule, and they show in-depth coverage over a long period of time. Can someone please take a look?

Page Logo

Could the company logo be added to the page? File is on Wikipedia Commons under ReliaQuest.

 Done

Intro Paragraph Updates

Summary: Missing information, lacking overall context that is typical in intro paragraphs.

Suggestion: ReliaQuest is an American cybersecurity technology company headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with offices in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, London, Dublin, and Pune, India. The company provides AI-powered threat detection, investigation, and response through its GreyMatter security operations platform. ReliaQuest’s technology is used by enterprise organizations across various industries including banking, airlines, healthcare, and professional sports, with customers such as the Boston Celtics.

 Done with edits

Technology Paragraph Updates

Summary: For the first sentence and the section collectively, could additional context for the GreyMatter platform be inserted?

• First sentence, add something like “... using agentic AI for threat detection, containment, investigation and response.”

 Done

• In the second sentence, could accuracy on company patents be improved? Something like “...including a universal translator that provides comprehensive threat detection response across security technologies.”
• More info on GreyMatter platform to add into paragraph including...

 Done with edits. Some of this felt a little POV, so I explained that these were claims by the company or by publications covering the company.

• It integrates with cybersecurity & enterprise tools.
• It automates key aspects of security operations, including normalizing data across security technologies for rapid threat detection, containment, investigation & response.
• It can respond to alerts in under 5 minutes, as well as can process security alerts 20 times faster and with 30% greater accuracy compared to traditional methods.
• Sources for above bullets:

Hi @Camillefrancis, good to hear from you again. Taking a look at all of this - looks pretty straightforward. --FeldBum (talk) 16:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Responses for everything:

• Logo looks good
• Lede looks good too. Making some small tweaks, and I'm keeping the ReliaQuest Bowl.
• Line about agentic AI looks fine too, as long as its supported
• "Comprehensive" feels POV to me, but otherwise seems OK (unless that's an industry term with a standard definition). I'll take a closer look
• I'll see what I can based on those sources

--FeldBum (talk) 21:29, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

@Camillefrancis all done, with some edits --FeldBum (talk) 04:19, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

@FeldBum Thanks for reviewing!! Understand the changes you made with the guidelines. I tried to avoid POV language to begin with, sorry about that. I just added another request below for editors. If still interested in this page, I appreciate consideration there as well. Camillefrancis (talk) 15:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

@FeldBum @Brandon Good morning!! Noticed some of the approved updates were removed and wanted your consideration on the below. Thanks!! Camillefrancis (talk) 15:27, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

TechSpective as a source: Saw note on a page edit that this isn't considered a reliable source. I wasn't aware and will keep in mind going forward. Sorry about that!!

1- This line was removed from Technology: The platform automates key aspects of security operations, normalizing data across security technologies for rapid threat detection, containment, investigation and response

Could it be added back and revised slightly using the sources below? Suggested revision: The platform automates key aspects of security operations, enabling data normalization across technologies to support rapid threat detection, investigation, containment, and response.

Camillefrancis (talk) 15:27, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

"key" still feels POV to me @Camillefrancis, but I think the line is supported otherwise, so I'm adding back in. --FeldBum (talk) 13:58, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

More Updates

Hello Editors!! Sharing additional requests to update the page. Thank you for your time and consideration!! Posting this with a COI related to the article’s topic. Camillefrancis (talk) 15:22, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

History Paragraph

Summary: Missing information throughout. Requesting additions of context around company founding by CEO, company activity, and fundraising.

Suggestion #1: Following first line in History paragraph, could something like this be added: Murphy attended Florida State University from 1996 to 2000, graduating with a degrees in Accounting and Finance. He began his career as an auditor before transitioning into technology consulting, programming and IT services. ReliaQuest was established shortly before the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, which impacted early operations. Murphy continued to invest in the company, bootstrapping the company during its first nine years.

Suggestion #2: Fundraising additions, add where appropriate within the paragraph:

• In June 2016, the company received its first outside capital investment of $30 million from FTV Capital.
• In spring of 2025, ReliaQuest's annual recurring revenue totaled more than $300 million, and employed 1,200 employees.
• In April 2025, ReliaQuest was valued at $3.4 billion following a fundraising round that raised more than $500 million. The round was led by EQT, KKR, FTV Capital, with participation from investors such as Ten Eleven Ventures and Finback Investment Partners.

Suggestion #3: General company updates, add where appropriate within the paragraph:

• ReliaQuest has implemented a mental performance program for its employees, including hiring sports psychologists. In early 2023, the company maintained a retention rate of 85% or higher, as well as saw improvements in employee engagement due to the program.

Community Outreach Paragraph

Summary: Missing information throughout. Could the title of this paragraph change to something more encompassing of partnerships?

Suggestion #1: At the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph, could something like this be added: As of 2024, ReliaQuest remains the title sponsor, with the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl being the first edition since its inaugural edition scheduled in the month of December, and the first edition scheduled for New Year's Eve.

Suggestion #2: Add where appropriate within paragraph: ReliaQuest is an official cybersecurity sponsor of the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions.

Suggestion #3: Add where appropriate within paragraph: Official cybersecurity partner of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Boston Celtics.

Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. GoldRomean (talk) 03:45, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @GoldRomean, thank you for your review of my requested updates!! Given your response, am I approved to implement these specific suggestions by directly editing the page myself? I wanted to double-check with you before doing so, given my COI. Camillefrancis (talk) 14:37, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, you may. I can also do it for you if you don’t feel comfortable :). GoldRomean (talk) 15:58, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

@GoldRomean I'm happy to add them, and I'll notify you here afterwards once completed. Thank you!! Camillefrancis (talk) 15:44, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

@GoldRomean I've published the requests you approved to the page, please let me know if you have any thoughts/I did that properly.

Flagging that I added one sentence to the History section, as it was relevant context to the line preceding it that was approved: "The company planned to use the fundraising to support international expansion and agentic AI-powered cybersecurity automation." The sources are linked on the page - let me know if this can remain.

Additionally, could I remove the 'LLC' after the company name in the first paragraph? The company goes by ReliaQuest and the LLC is more technical than I see on other like Wikipedia pages.

I have some additional requests, I'll post them to the Talk Page as a new topic for review when ready!! Camillefrancis (talk) 21:54, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Fine with me :). Feel free to ping me when you make those extra requests but I might be too busy to respond. GoldRomean (talk) 22:00, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

@GoldRomean Thank you for your review and confirmation. I just removed the LLC mention from the page. Appreciate your help! Camillefrancis (talk) 12:46, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

@GoldRomean @Brandon Noticed some of the approved updates from this request were removed. I appreciate your review to see if this can be added back in, thanks!! Camillefrancis (talk) 15:06, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

1- This line was removed from History: Murphy attended Florida State University from 1996 to 2000, graduating with a degree in Accounting and Finance. Could this be added back (with the removal of "from 1996 to 2000) by using the source below?

Sources for your consideration:

• https://fortune.com/2025/06/01/reliaquest-founder-ceo-brian-murphy-billion-dollar-cyber-company-no-tech-background/

Camillefrancis (talk) 15:06, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Yeah @Camillefrancis, that would work, but not with the capitalization. --FeldBum (talk) 13:56, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

More Updates - Cont'd

Hello Editors!! Sharing more updates below. Thank you for your time and consideration!! Posting this with a COI. @GoldRomean Tagging you if you’re still interested in reviewing requests for this topic. Camillefrancis (talk) 15:56, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Partnerships & Sponsorships Updates

Summary: Additional missing information to add into the Partnerships & sponsorships section. Could something like the below Suggestion be added in?

Suggestion: In 2018, the company partnered with the University of South Florida to launch the ReliaQuest Labs program based in the Muma College of Business. The program was created to support talent development in the cybersecurity field and offer career opportunities. As of 2024, more than 300 students have graduated from the program, with a 90% job employment rate thereafter. ReliaQuest has hired nearly half of the program’s graduates, while others have accepted cybersecurity roles in other organizations.

Award Updates

Summary: Could any or all of the awards listed below be added to the page? Would it be best to add it as its own section or a subheader section within History?

Camillefrancis (talk) 15:56, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. - This is for the Partnerships & Sponsorships section. If you want to post a draft of the Awards section I can review that too. Dahawk04 (talk) 21:35, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

@Dahawk04 Hi there, thank you for reviewing!! I will add the proposed changes to the Partnerships & Sponsorships section. I'll notify you here once I've drafted the Awards section for review. Camillefrancis (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

@Dahawk04 I’ve drafted a proposed Awards section - see here: User:Camillefrancis/sandbox. Happy to revise based your feedback. (Let me know if I used the sandbox feature right, still learning!!) Thank you. Camillefrancis (talk) 15:35, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@Dahawk04 Hope you had a great weekend!! Did you have a chance to review my drafted Awards section? Let me know, thank you for reviewing. Camillefrancis (talk) 13:26, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @FeldBum and @GoldRomean. Pinging you both to see if you could review my drafted Awards section in my sandbox (see conversation just before this reply for details)? I haven't heard back from Dahawk04 and wanted to see if another editor could review, as you've helped review previous Talk Page requests for this topic. Thank you. Camillefrancis (talk) 22:44, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

@Camillefrancis I would suggest a new column titled "Ref." for just the references, but otherwise it looks ok. GoldRomean (talk) 23:58, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Camillefrancis, I agree with @GoldRomean that a column for refs makes sense. As @Brandon said, it may make more sense to start with the awards that have a third-party coverage, although I would include bigger ones, like the Fortune or Deloitte ones. On that note, I would add wikilinks to those publications (and remove the TM as per MOS Trademarks --FeldBum (talk) 22:41, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with the addition of these "awards" that lack secondary coverage and are essentially paid marketing. Brandon (talk) 10:54, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Pardon my delay @Brandon, @FeldBum, @Dahawk04, @GoldRomean, appreciate collective review of the Awards. Your feedback makes sense to me, most awards typically don't have third-party coverage. @FeldBum mentioned that Fortune or Deloitte awards could be notable enough to add with the initial sources I provided. With that in mind, I've drafted the below to add to the bottom of the History section with a small header. Would this be approved/let me know thoughts? Want to do the right thing based on guidelines and your input. Thanks!! Camillefrancis (talk) 19:42, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Awards

The company was first honored on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in 2017, and went on to receive the honor again in 2018 and 2019.

In 2018 and 2019 the company was awarded as one of Fortune Magazine’s Best Workplaces in Technology.

Camillefrancis (talk) 19:42, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

I think those awards are pretty uncontroversial, so I'll add in a more neutral version of those lines into history --FeldBum (talk) 19:25, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Promo Tag

As far as I can see, the only piece that feels at all promotional, at least to me, is this line in the lede: "Its platform is used by organizations across various industries including banking, airlines, healthcare and professional sports, with customers like National Basketball Association team Boston Celtics." I'll edit to make NPOV, but anything I'm missing @Brandon that you didn't already edit? --FeldBum (talk) 23:01, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I've removed the tag but I still don't love the "Partnerships & sponsorships" section. Brandon (talk) 17:20, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Brandon, @FeldBum - Reaching out for your consideration on a few removals from the Partnerships & sponsorships section. I appreciate your guidance as you review and consider, tried my best within my working understanding/previous feedback received. Thanks!! Camillefrancis (talk) 20:23, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

1 - Would renaming the section Partnerships be more appropriate, as I can understand sponsorships could be promotional-leaning?

2 - This line was removed, but it seems qualified to meet encyclopedic standards. Could it be re-added using the sources below?: In 2018, ReliaQuest partnered with the University of South Florida to launch the ReliaQuest Labs program based in the Muma College of Business. The program was created to support talent development in the cybersecurity field and offer career opportunities.

Sources for your consideration:

• https://www.wusf.org/university-beat/2018-10-31/usf-teams-with-reliaquest-on-1m-cybersecurity-labs
• https://fortune.com/next/education/articles/reliaquest-cybersecurity-university-of-south-florida-lab-parternship/
• https://www.axios.com/local/tampa-bay/2024/05/01/reliaquest-lab-usf-cybersecurity-jobs

3 - Context around ReliaQuest Bowl was removed. There are existing pages that mention the recent years and the bowl in summary itself, could we at least link to these (vs. mention more about them on this page?) Drafted language for consideration to add: Since the sponsorship commenced, annual games have included the 2023 ReliaQuest Bowl, the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowls (December, January), and the 2025 ReliaQuest Bowl, scheduled for December 31, 2025. Camillefrancis (talk) 20:23, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

@Brandon @FeldBum - I hope all is well, tagging in case the previous notification got lost. Appreciate your consideration on the above. Thanks!! 20:19, 12 August 2025 (UTC) Camillefrancis (talk) 20:19, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I think ReliaQuest bowl should definitely be in here. Let me take a closer look at the lab program. --FeldBum (talk) 15:45, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Camillefrancis I added something about USF as well here --FeldBum (talk) 19:22, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
