May-June 2017ENTERPRISE SECURITY| | 19 | | November 201519In the wake of digitization, organizations place composite cyber security plans to assure data confidentiality. However, the increasing rates of sophisticated cyber attacks have made safeguarding information crucial to organizations. "Regardless of deploying extensive vulnerability management technologies internally, CIOs today are in a continuous struggle to determine the best approach to protect their organizations, achieve compliance, and communicate risks enterprise-wide," says Kevin Hickey, President and CEO, BeyondTrust. Even though the existing vulnerability management tools generate alerts, data, and information, their reporting level is not satisfactory to prioritize vulnerabilities in a business context. This leads to manual discerning of real threats, creating chaos and errors. For organizations to assess vulnerability and analyze risk in a business context, BeyondTrust--a global cybersecurity company--provides solutions that prevent data breaches by enhancing visibility to enable control over internal and external risks.Recent security threat trends reveal that attacks are initiated through third-party credentials, mimicking normal user transactions on the network. To track and minimize vulnerability, BeyondTrust enables firms to proactively identify security exposures, analyze business impacts, and plan and conduct remediation across network, web, mobile, cloud and virtual infrastructures. The company's solutions deliver reporting and analytics to multiple stakeholders throughout the organization, enabling them to take immediate action. BeyondTrust facilitates vulnerability management through specially architected solutions like Retina CS to deliver data in the proper context. Retina CS is a software solution designed to provide organizations with a context-aware vulnerability assessment and risk analysis. Retina's results-oriented architecture works with users to pinpoint vulnerabilities, malware, and attacks, and subsequently analyzes threat potential and remediates them through integrated patch management.Another solution, Retina Network Vulnerability Scanner is a scan engine that is available as a standalone application as well as a part of Retina CS. This scanner enables organizations to continually monitor and improve enterprise security posture. Besides these, the company also delivers BeyondInsight--a unified platform for vulnerability management through improved visibility. It provides IT and security teams a single, contextual lens through which they can view and address user and asset risks. "We address every phase of vulnerability management, from assessment to remediation, eliminating the need for security teams to manage multiple tools and improving efficiency," explains Hickey. For instance, Gonzaga University was trying to build up security capabilities for its disparate and heterogeneous infrastructure with limited control over resources that require being a part of the network. Upon successfully implementing Retina CS, the university could deliver visibility and insight into the security status of their entire infrastructure. "Thanks to Retina, we've moved from a reactive to a proactive security approach," appreciates Chris Gill, CIO, Gonzaga University. BeyondTrust partners with IT and security leaders seeking a holistic solution to understand and act effectively on data breach threats. To provide businesses with correlated reporting and analytics for informed and strategic decision making, BeyondTrust has joined forces with universities to enhance the education and training of future cybersecurity professionals. Beyond just catering its services to various industries like energy, education, and healthcare, the company aims to make waves in the local security market.
