For many security teams, vulnerability risk management can feel like an endless climb. The truth is, no IT environment will ever be fully free of cyber-risk. That said, there are simple, attainable steps you can take right away to achieve an acceptable level of risk for your organization with the resources you already have. In this post, we’ll cover how InsightVM, our vulnerability risk management solution, helps teams tackle common operational challenges, maximize limited resources, and prove the value and ROI of their efforts to executive stakeholders.
Overwhelmed by mountains of data?
Identify the right metrics for measuring your program effectiveness.
We solve for this common challenge with InsightVM capabilities that can help you focus on what matters most:
- Live Dashboards in InsightVM are real-time, interactive, and customizable so you can visualize and prioritize your most critical data.
- Query Builder lets you query assets, vulnerabilities, and solutions using an intuitive GUI so you can slice and dice data without relying solely on complex query languages.
- Real Risk scoring in InsightVM helps you more effectively prioritize the risk in your environment by factoring more than just traditional CVSS—it takes into account business criticality, exploit kit availability in Metasploit, and more.
“CVSS scores were a problem because they’re static. The InsightVM Real Risk scoring really has allowed me to prioritize for what matters to our specific business." - Information Security Manager, Financial Services Industry
According to a recent Forrester study on the Total Economic Impact of InsightVM, customers who switched from a competitive vulnerability management solution to InsightVM saw a 33% reduction in investigations on average.
Too much time spent trekking through workflows?
Understand if your current approach and technology support program goals.
InsightVM can help you track the goals and service-level agreements (SLAs) you and your team are accountable to by:
- Eliminating tedious email tag with IT and operations teams with Remediation Projects. Remediation Projects let you track the progress of your remediation tasks as they happen, so you can get ahead of potential delays and realign resources if needed.
- Automating patching and containment workflows that comprise common, repeatable activities. This way, you can stop worrying about mundane tasks and start investing in your greater vulnerability management strategy.
- Maximizing impact with solution-based remediation that identifies individual steps that can reduce the most risk, such as the implementation of a single patch that fixes dozens of vulnerabilities.
“InsightVM really reduces the amount of work that my team has to do. Now the platform is mostly self-service, giving infosec hours back that we can apply elsewhere.” —Director of Information Security, Healthcare Industry
Forrester Consulting revealed that customers switching to InsightVM experienced a 60% decrease in patching efforts. InsightVM is here to give you time back and help you automate remediation steps tailored to the ideal conditions for your organization.
