Cyber Defense Magazine - Annual RSA Conference 2019 - Print Edition

enterprises do not have the systems in place
to stress-test and continuously validate the
protection of their critical assets and business
operations. Furthermore, programs cannot
produce the evidence required to determine
if their efforts and investments are meeting
defined goals and satisfying regulatory
obligations.
Security Instrumentation elevates
cybersecurity to the same standards as other
metrics-driven business units.
Verodin Inc. offers the first business platform
purpose-built to measure, manage, improve,
and communicate cybersecurity effectiveness.
The Verodin Security Instrumentation Platform
(SIP) provides the evidence required to
determine if an enterprise’s layered defenses
are effective across endpoint, email, cloud,
and network tools, enabling organizations to
continuously validate the protection of their
business-critical assets. From the boardroom to
the CISO to the SOC, Security Instrumentation
empowers the business to understand and
communicate cybersecurity effectiveness with
quantifiable metrics.
Prove that core business objectives are being
achieved. Large enterprises report having
30 to 70 cybersecurity vendors deployed in
their environment. Once the shift is made
from assumption-based to evidence-based
cybersecurity, it becomes possible to start
rationalizing investments. Programs can
address questions like, “what’s working, what’s
not, what should be replaced, where do we
need to allocate resources, and how should
we be prioritizing changes?” As we enter 2019,
cybersecurity programs would be wise to focus
their efforts on maximizing the effectiveness
of the investments they already have in place
before purchasing that next buzzword. After
all, if the foundation is broken, everything
is broken. Learn more at verodin.com. (RSA
