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 />
