Agiliance Inc. 2015 Winner GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS IT Security Products and Solutions Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Best Compliance/Vulnerability Assessment Solution Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– RiskVision 7.5 Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The biggest inhibitor of effective security and vulnerability management lies in the fact that the number of threats to organizations has grown exponentially over the past few years. This is largely due to the increasing number of IT assets under management, which are creating a big data challenge. To ensure proper coverage, government organizations in many cases are relying on multiple tools to produce the necessary vulnerability assessment data. This only adds to the volume, velocity, and complexity of data feeds that must be analyzed, normalized, and prioritized. Relying on human labor to comb through mountains of data logs is one of the main reasons that critical vulnerabilities are not being addressed in a timely fashion. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 92% of breaches were discovered by a third party and not through internal resources. As a result, government organizations are seeking technical solutions to automate data aggregation, normalization, and business impact correlation. The ultimate objective is to shorten the window attackers have to exploit a software flaw, thereby reducing the overall risk of cyber-attacks and insider threats. Agiliance is assisting civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies in achieving continuous monitoring and enabling them to report on their organizations risk and security posture in near real time. The company’s RiskVision software gathers data feeds from otherwise silo-based security and IT tools such as SIEMs, configuration management databases, vulnerability scanners, threat data feeds and advisory services, database security management, etc. 68
and then aggregates, normalizes, and correlates this information based on business criticality. This enables a near real time snap shot of an organization’s security posture. In addition, RiskVision automates an organization’s governance processes, providing insight into the agency’s compliance posture. The final result is a riskbased assessment of the organization’s infrastructure which prioritizes remediation actions based on business criticality. If needed, RiskVision can also assist with automatic ticket creation. By using the Agiliance ticketing system or integrating with leading ticketing and patch management systems, an organization’s security operations team can shadow the progress the IT team makes in mitigating the vulnerabilities. This eliminates the traditional approach best described as throwing something over the fence and praying for the best outcome. For one major government agency, using RiskVision resulted in a dramatic increase in operational efficiency. Prior to using Agiliance, it took 60 full-time employees working 24 x 7 for a month to manually create 180,000 remediation tickets. With RiskVision, the agency was able to reduce the headcount required to oversee ticket creation by more than 80% and shrink the processing time from one month to a couple of days. RiskVision is considered by many to be the best compliance and vulnerability management solution on the market for its ability to combine risk intelligence, using big data gathered and correlated from security operations tools, with automated remediation that establishes bi-directional workflows with IT operations. The end result is improved operational efficiency through automated continuous monitoring and ticketing to remediate only business critical risks.
