Last month, Sevco unveiled new capabilities in the Sevco platform to help manage and remediate risks for a new asset class – software vulnerabilities (think CVEs) and environmental vulnerabilities (think missing security tools, EOL systems, and IT hygiene issues). Sevco’s exposure management capabilities centralize known and surface previously unknown vulnerabilities in one place, prioritize the most critical issues across the environment (based on technical severity and nearly unlimited business context derived from Sevco’s asset intelligence), automate the remediation to fix priority issues and validate that remediation efforts are completed. With the help of these new capabilities in the Sevco platform, CISOs gain quantifiable insights to manage remediation programs, highlighting where efforts are working and where they aren't.
Why does this matter: The systems that typically track and report CVEs, don’t report on vulnerabilities in categories such as cloud, identity, system misconfigurations, and more. Those have to be uncovered from data found within different (typically siloed) tools. This visibility issue has caused CISOs to drown in vulnerabilities without the ability to identify the ones that present the highest risk to an organization. With asset intelligence as the foundation, the Sevco platform’s exposure management capabilities help CISOs and security teams solve this challenge by proactively prioritizing, automating, and validating the remediation of all types of exposures, including software and environmental vulnerabilities. Additionally, the Sevco platform validates the successful completion of vulnerability remediation when it’s observed on the asset itself, not just when a ticket is closed. This enables Sevco to highlight actionable metrics that allow CISOs to see what’s working and what’s not working in their remediation programs and break down cross-department silos that can cause visibility issues in the first place.
How does it work: Sevco's approach to vulnerability prioritization differs from existing tools because the Sevco platform integrates with existing security tools to aggregate, correlate, and deduplicate the data in those sources to surface important context and assess the risk and business impact for each asset. With this knowledge, Sevco can automatically detect and proactively alert an organization’s security team to vulnerabilities in their environment, including software vulnerabilities (CVEs), missing or misconfigured security controls (security gaps), and IT hygiene issues (unpatched devices and shadow IT). Additionally, Sevco helps to prioritize the CVEs, missing endpoint agents, and other IT hygiene vulnerabilities so our customers are always working on the highest risk issues first based on their specific business needs. Sevco's remediation management workflow helps to reduce risk dramatically with automation, key integrations that allow for collaboration and visibility across IT and security teams, and validation that remediation happened -- no matter the ticket status. Additionally, Sevco provides reports on remediation metrics that arm CISOs with the knowledge needed to understand the utilization of specific IT and security teams.
