New guide designed to give security officers the information they need to choose the right solution for their organisation’s cyber security; provides solutions to common management roadblocks.
Basingstoke,United Kingdom - October 24, 2022 /PressCable/ —
The recent upsurge in cyberattacks and their potential to render catastrophic consequences are pushing more and more CISOs toward vulnerability management systems. Injection flaws, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, etc., are some of the growing lists of security pitfalls that make businesses extremely vulnerable to data breaches today.
As a CREST-accredited cybersecurity company, Rootshell Security helps security teams choose the best vulnerability management system in a new guide.
Releasing the guide, the company stresses the importance of adopting a vulnerability management solution that encompasses the end-to-end process of addressing security flaws—from identification to remediation.
With the cyber landscape evolving in impact, intricacy, and sophistication, cashing in on vulnerability management platforms is a no-brainer.
Studies find that over 76% of all applications today contain at least one vulnerability, and 80% of cyberattacks use vulnerabilities reported three or more years ago.
Needless to say, these security pitfalls turning into breaches can set businesses back millions.
According to a joint study by IBM and Ponemon Institute, the average data breach cost has reached an all-time high this year—USD 4.35M in 2022—a jump from USD 3.86M in 2020.
That said, by having a high-end vulnerability management solution in place, an organisation’s security team can efficiently lower risk exposure, strengthen resistance to attacks and shorten remediation times while managing the results from their vulnerability assessments.
It provides enterprises with solutions to common management roadblocks that could overwhelm security teams—massive troves of data, time-intensive repetitive tasks, security issues with assessment documents, etc.
“Vulnerability management is an essential part of an organisation’s IT security strategy.” Explains a spokesperson from Rootshell Security. “Effective vulnerability management helps IT security teams ensure that critical issues are discovered, analysed, and remediated as fast and efficiently as possible. This is critical to minimising an organisation’s attack surface and preventing cyber attacks, which could have devastating consequences for an organisation’s data, personnel, and reputation.”
But only a vendor-agnostic, highly scalable security platform that offers real-time threat assessment and management reports can accelerate each step of the vulnerability management process and boost efficiency from start to finish, according to Rootshell Security.
For example, Rootshell Security’s Prism is a vendor-neutral vulnerability management solution that consolidates data from pen testing reports and other third-party assessment tools into a single database, making repetitive cyber threat management processes significantly redundant.
Facilitating scan result analysis with an intelligence-driven context, it aims to go beyond basic scanning and transform static results into actionable insights.
CISOs can gauge their remediation actions against their SLAs (service level agreements) and follow up on their essential compliance metrics, leading to a validated and enhanced vulnerability management process.
In addition, with the customisable automated reports by Prism, CISOs can gain real-time visibility into their cyber landscape while effortlessly analysing technical risks across the entire enterprise.
By integrating with ticketing systems, enabling cross-departmental collaboration, and offering real-time updates from test results, Prism helps teams streamline the remediation workflow effortlessly—no more endlessly digging through spreadsheets.
Rootshell claims that having 10,000+ registered users globally, its Prism Platform has successfully managed 250,000+ issues, reporting 4.5M+ vulnerabilities.
To quote a client, “Prism Platform is very useful for coordinating a global, remote team, and invaluable at helping us stay on top of our critical issues and delegating them accordingly. Prism’s dashboards are vital for us to manage our weaknesses, and I love the Prism interface – it looks slick and professional for our clients.”
