# SSV - Some Security Vendor

> A satirical April Fools microsite about vendor positioning sameness in security and devtools.

This is a joke site created by Beyond Features to illustrate how security and devtool vendors all say the same thing.

## What is SSV?

SSV stands for "Some Security Vendor" - a fictional company whose landing page could describe any of the 200+ security vendors at RSA Conference.

## The Joke

Users land on what appears to be a legitimate security vendor website (SSV), complete with:
- AI-native messaging
- "Built by practitioners" claims  
- SOC 2 and G2 Leader badges
- A realistic product dashboard
- All the buzzwords

After scrolling, users are asked: "Does this look familiar?"

They then take a 5-question quiz where every answer describes the same generic vendor positioning. The punchline: it doesn't matter what you pick.

## The Point

When every vendor's positioning sounds identical, buyers can't tell products apart. Differentiation requires technical proof, not taglines.
