and then aggregates, normalizes, and correlates this<br />
information based on business criticality. This enables<br />
a near real time snap shot <strong>of</strong> an organization’s security<br />
posture. In addition, RiskVision automates an organization’s<br />
governance processes, providing insight into the<br />
agency’s compliance posture. The final result is a riskbased<br />
assessment <strong>of</strong> the organization’s infrastructure<br />
which prioritizes remediation actions based on business<br />
criticality. If needed, RiskVision can also assist with automatic<br />
ticket creation. By using the Agiliance ticketing<br />
system or integrating with leading ticketing and patch<br />
management systems, an organization’s security operations<br />
team can shadow the progress the IT team makes<br />
in mitigating the vulnerabilities. This eliminates the<br />
traditional approach best described as throwing something<br />
over the fence and praying for the best outcome.<br />
For one major government agency, using RiskVision<br />
resulted in a dramatic increase in operational efficiency.<br />
Prior to using Agiliance, it took 60 full-time employees<br />
working 24 x 7 for a month to manually create 180,000<br />
remediation tickets. With RiskVision, the agency was<br />
able to reduce the headcount required to oversee ticket<br />
creation by more than 80% and shrink the processing<br />
time from one month to a couple <strong>of</strong> days. RiskVision<br />
is considered by many to be the best compliance and<br />
vulnerability management solution on the market for<br />
its ability to combine risk intelligence, using big data<br />
gathered and correlated from security operations tools,<br />
with automated remediation that establishes bi-directional<br />
workflows with IT operations. The end result is<br />
improved operational efficiency through automated<br />
continuous monitoring and ticketing to remediate only<br />
business critical risks.<br />
