I imagine you're going to try again regardless, so what people reply with is mostly irrelevant. Good luck for next time. However... It's probably worth noting

I imagine you're going to try again regardless, so what people reply with is mostly irrelevant. Good luck for next time. However... It's probably worth noting that HN is a terrible fit for your product. It sounds ideal on paper, being security+behaviour+devops sort of thing (assuming the Show HN is about the thing you're CEO of), but if you look at the frontpage you won't see many threads about products like yours. There might be something in the more abstract sense, like applying behaviour to devops, but there's very little on HN about software products themselves. The focus is about running startups, things big SV and small YC companies are doing, interesting code-and-code-related things, and oddball science stuff. A Show HN about a product is very unlikely to go anywhere in the same way that it might on PH or LI. Maybe post the "hacking hacker news" blog post instead. It's far more interesting than devops. (There are far too many two letter acronyms in this comment.)
