Sevco Security's CEO and co-founder, J.J. Guy, recently appeared on the ITSPmagazine Podcasts to discuss our new Exposure Management capabilities. 🛠️ The Sevco Platform's new capabilities enable CISOs and security teams to manage and remediate risks for a new asset class – Software Vulnerabilities (think CVEs) and Environmental Vulnerabilities (like lack of security tools, end-of-life systems, and IT hygiene issues). The technology's approach to vulnerability prioritization differs from existing tools because the Sevco platform builds this prioritization on the foundation of a comprehensive asset inventory to surface important context AND assess the risk and business impact for each asset. 🎙️Listen to the full podcast here: #ExposureManagement #VulnerabilityManagement #ExposureManagement #Vulnerabilities #EnvironmentalVulnerabilities #AssetIntelligence

Sevco Security CEO, J.J. Guy, was recently interviewed by The New York Times to discuss what went wrong with the CrowdStrike Microsoft outage.
