CardinalOps has officially announced the launch of new enhancements for its Threat Exposure Management platform, which makes it the first player to cover both detection and prevention controls in a unified view.
According to certain reports, the stated new platform arrives on the scene bearing an ability to help security teams access better visibility, smarter prioritization, and consistent workflows. All these components, on their part, will come together to address exposures and proactively reduce the risk of a breach.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how security teams, over the years, have ran into more operational challenges than they had the technical capacity to handle. This has been the case because teams across the board are largely siloed, and visibility into multiple security tools is also significantly limited.
In case that wasn’t enough, inconsistent remediation workflows and policies, caused by misconfigured tooling, missing prevention policies, asset and detection coverage gaps, known software vulnerabilities, and more, also contribute towards fragmented prioritization and making of ineffective security teams who simply do not know where to start.
Fortunately enough, the now updated CardinalOps Threat Exposure Management platform treads up a long distance to empower security teams to access unified platform which, on its part, correlates both Prevention and Detection tools. This it does to match the speed and stealth of today’s evolving threats.
More on the would reveal how security teams that leverage the CardinalOps Threat Exposure Management platform can come expecting impactful insight across their security stack, insights that can deliver at their disposal unified visibility, context-driven prioritization, and intelligent remediation.
“Security teams are dealing with a surge in security findings and it is becoming increasingly challenging for siloed teams managing separate products to determine their threat exposure and how to deal with it,” said Michael Mumcuoglu, Co-Founder and CEO of CardinalOps. “With this launch, we are enabling organizations to rethink how they approach threat exposure management. It is time to move beyond fragmented efforts with siloed tooling, and adopt a more unified, context-driven approach that drives impactful remediation and reduces risk across both prevention and detection.”
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise of a comprehensive platform. This translates to how the platform considers both detection and prevention controls to offer a wide list of third party integrations.
Next up, there is the potential for context-driven prioritization. Such informational basis, like you can guess, allows for users to prioritize risk and exposure with asset intelligence and business context, all for the purpose of helping users focus on what matters the most.
Almost like an extension of that, CardinalOps’ even puts together threat-informed defense. Here, the solution basically ensures alignment to MITRE ATT&CK and the latest threat intelligence to understand which adversaries are targeting a specific industry, as well as to map security controls for specific adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Hold on, we still have a few bits left to unpack, as we still haven’t touched upon the technology’s assortment of compensating controls. These controls are basically designed to let you drive more effective remediation actions.
Rounding up highlights would be the solution’s ability to deliver an intelligible impact analysis. This analysis includes necessary contextual information for security teams to safely address vulnerabilities and reduce risk without causing business disruption.
“Security leaders are dealing with a growing volume and variety of security findings, creating massive complexity and difficulty around determining where to focus,” said Javier Garcia Quintela, Global CISO at Repsol. “The CardinalOps platform helps address the critical need for better processes around centralizing all of these security findings, assigning proper priorities, and then moving to mobilization in order to remediate critical exposures.”
