For media agencies and publishers, working with large files such as audio, images, and video is the norm. Individual files can reach several hundred gigabytes in size, each of which are components that will be imported into editing and design applications like Premiere Pro and InDesign to create final campaign assets.
When a major security event like SolarWinds or Log4j happens, how do you assess the impact across your third-party supply chain? Most organizations struggle to effectively react to zero day attacks and other critical vulnerabilities at scale, often following manual and cumbersome workflows. But our latest capability is here to change that.
A recent study found that financially material cyber attacks are increasing in frequency and that the top 5% of such attacks lead to an average $52M in losses. As these types of cyber attacks become more frequent and more severe, it has become increasingly critical for risk managers outside of enterprise security functions —such as compliance and credit officers—to consider cybersecurity risk in their assessment of customers, suppliers and investments.
Today we are announcing updates to the Bitsight ratings algorithm. Bitsight is committed to creating the most meaningful, trustworthy, and actionable security ratings and analytics in the marketplace. As part of this commitment, we periodically make updates to our ratings algorithm based on new data observations and capabilities, internal and external research, and market feedback. For this year’s update, we have made several adjustments, including modifying the weights of several risk vectors.
In 2011, Bitsight invented the security ratings industry. As the market leader, we are still the standard in how organizations quantify, manage, and monitor cyber risk. Today, that universal metric is used by entities from national governments to global enterprises to Fortune 500 companies to interpret cyber risk. And now, we’re disrupting the industry once again. Waves of change are constantly disrupting companies of all sizes around the world, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity.
Dave Krasik, Director of Product Management at ThreatQuotient, recently had a chance to speak with Ed Amoroso, CEO and founder of TAG Cyber, a leading cybersecurity advisory group, about the state of cybersecurity automation. They covered a lot of ground, and you can listen to the full interview here. Following are a few of the highlights.
Firewalls are a key component in cybersecurity to protect corporate networks from external threats. However, these barriers must be accompanied by solutions that complement each other and build a layered security posture to help prevent vulnerabilities from exposing networks to malicious activity, at all and any cost.
Today I’m excited to share the latest milestone in our growing partner ecosystem: Vanta has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program. The AWS ISV Accelerate Program is a co-sell program for AWS Partners who provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. Vanta’s acceptance into the program enables us to work in close collaboration with the AWS sales team to meet customer needs and provide better outcomes.
We’ve noticed that many of our customers are currently undergoing a significant transformation in their application architecture, transitioning from legacy vertical applications to distributed microservices running on Kubernetes. This shift brings along a range of benefits, such as improved scalability, resilience, and agility. However, it also creates a larger attack surface that needs to be managed effectively.
