Sevco Security

🙋🏽♀️ CISOs, what are the most important questions you need to answer in the boardroom? Sevco Security CSO Brian Contos outlines his five top questions in his latest article in Forbes. 1️⃣ Where is the proof that our critical assets are secure? 2️⃣ How is the security of our critical assets trending quarter over quarter? 3️⃣ Can you show us metrics on where we need to invest to enhance critical asset protection? 4️⃣ What are the vulnerability remediation times for assets that support mission-critical operations? 5️⃣ Where is the evidence to demonstrate that assets subject to regulatory mandates are in compliance? How do these questions compare to yours?

Betanews, Inc. recently covered Sevco's latest State of Attack Surface Report, highlighting: "New research shows that nearly 30 percent of enterprise IT assets are missing at least one critical security control, such as endpoint security or patch management." The study also shows more than six percent of all IT assets have reached the end-of-life stage, creating instances of known-but-unpatched #vulnerabilities. Read the full article:

Security is more aligned with business operations, regulatory mandates, and mission-critical processes than ever before. A foundational aspect of the security team’s ability to address this alignment is successfully using business context associations with assets to prioritize and mitigate threats more precisely. Learn how solutions like Sevco can apply this context, leading to reduced risk and cost through precise prioritization in our latest blog from Brian Contos. #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityManagement #Sevco

To truly prioritize risk, you need to look beyond CVEs. Does it matter how many CVEs you detect if a device has no controls to remediate them? Correlating CVEs with environmental variables or gaps such as missing endpoint controls, outdated or non-communicative controls, and misconfigurations provides much greater insight into the risk of an asset. Learn more about the leveraging environmental variables in our new blog post from Brian Contos:
