The rapid pace of technological change and the attendant rise of cyber threats in both speed and number leave most organizations at a disadvantage.
Historically, many firms faced this challenge simply by purchasing more technology in the hopes that the latest threat protection software would keep their data safe. But those days have come to an end. Not only have budgets come under increased scrutiny, but the sheer number of tools in most environments has become a handicap as well: Tools don’t always work well together and the expertise required to manage them remains in short supply. According to some analysts, the current complexity and diversity of tech environments also hampers visibility into vulnerability risks, at least in part because data must be obtained from disparate systems or laboriously exported into spreadsheets and data analytics platforms to fine tune and understand relevant risks.
For organizations looking for a unified perspective of risk across their cloud and on-prem environments, prioritizing risk, eliminating repetitive manual work, maintaining complete risk visibility, and consolidating point solutions will enable them to meet cyber threats with speed and success.
Not all Threats are Created Equally
You’ll hear companies claim to stop all threats everywhere all the time, but such claims are neither true nor practical – anyone who follows the news even casually knows that the threats keep coming. The key is to understand which threats pose the largest risks and mitigate those first. Tools like Rapid7’s InsightVM analyze enterprise-wide asset and vulnerability data to identify the actions that will have the largest impact on risk reduction in a given organization. Instead of thousand-page lists of individual patches to apply, organizations can make informed, up-to-th ..
