“Being named best unified vulnerability risk management platform in the annual ASTORS Homeland Security Awards recognizes the value we provide for state, local, and federal governments in protecting them from ransomware and other destructive attacks,” said Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala, CEO of RiskSense. “Traditional approaches to vulnerability management have been rendered obsolete by fast moving and automated attack methods. RiskSense uses advanced analytics to level the playing field by prioritizing and focusing remediation actions on imminent threats and the assets exposed to them.”
Using machine learning driven, risk-based scoring and analytics combined with technology-accelerated penetration testing, the cloud-based RiskSense platform identifies and prioritizes remediation of critical vulnerabilities that place organizations at risk. RiskSense ingests and contextualizes information from existing security tools, including network, application, and database scanners, configuration management systems, etc., along with external threat data on exploits, malware, threat actors, as well as reputational intelligence from U.S. and global vulnerability databases, and proprietary intelligence from its security research team. Unlike traditional vulnerability management solutions, RiskSense continuously manages cyber risks at scale, across physical and virtual assets in the network, applications, IoT devices and even IIoT in operational technology (OT) networks.
