PROVE SECURITY.

Practitioners know that you can’t just “set and forget” security products. There is a massive disconnect between out-of-the-box configurations versus potential capability. Every environment is unique, and, if not properly calibrated, organizations can miss out on significant value from security technologies. To add to the complexity, environments are constantly shifting, so there is no guarantee that a control that is working today will remain functional tomorrow. Verodin tightly integrates into the defensive stack and empowers security teams to continuously challenge and verify that every control is functioning as intended.

Verodin’s Security Instrumentation Platform (SIP) combines test execution with defensive stack integration to produce reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of deployed network, endpoint, email, and cloud controls. SIP’s dashboards and reports enable the user to identify high-level areas of weakness and strength, as well as targets for optimization. By removing assumptions and actually testing and challenging controls, organizations can prove which controls are adding value, which can be optimized and which can be removed from the stack.

“Let’s take the Equifax breach. With Security Instrumentation, we were able to test our controls, understand the gaps and know if we were susceptible to that attack. Verodin’s Instrumentation enables you to validate that you are protecting the organization and report that to executive management.”

Product Showcase for Security Instrumentation

Advanced Environmental Drift (AEDA)

EVIDENCE ON THE STATE OF CONTROLS

Continuous test execution is not enough to detect environmental drift. A complete analysis of test results compared to a known-good baseline is needed. Customers need to know more than if a threat is still being blocked or not. They need a full analysis of what it takes for defenses to be successful: Automated and continuous analysis of this Effectiveness Validation Process (EVP) compared to the known-good baseline across a customer's business zones is exactly what AEDA does.

The Pathway to Understanding Cyber Risk

Remove Assumptions and validate control effectiveness
Optimize the controls you have already purchased and deployed
Understand the real gaps and target them with evidence-based tests
Rationalize cybersecurity spend by removing overlapping controls
Combat environmental drift by continuously validating effectiveness
Continuously test the production IT environment against the threats and scenarios targeting business critical assets
Drive decision-making based on the resulting data-driven metrics

Optimize & Rationalize

Prescriptive, Actionable Data

Verodin SIP enables users to quickly drill from a high-level posture view into specific tests that provide the exact details needed to optimize the control.

For example, drilling down from an understanding of how they are defending against malware delivery into the details of each test and then down to the specific threat and signature IDs within their controls that need to be configured to block.

Customer Stories

“Before instrumentation, security was a vague concept. There was no actual way to produce data showing progress or showing improvement. Instrumentation has made a constant improvement to our people and processes.”

STEVEN EDWARDS
‍SOC Manager
United American Life Insurance

“Before instrumentation, we as CISOs really didn’t have a good sense of how we were doing. After instrumentation, we have the confidence to see where we are doing well and where we might need to make a different investment or reallocate an existing investment.”

FRANK KIM
CISO | Advisor | Educator
SANS Institute

“CISOs want to invest in cybersecurity technologies that actually provide value. We have too many products deployed in all of our environments. Verodin can help you determine which ones are working and which ones are not. Simple as that.”

JAY LEEK
Former CISO, Blackstone
Managing Director, Clearsky

IT’S TIME TO ALIGN WITH THE BUSINESS

‍CYBERSECURITY MUST BE MANAGED WITH MEANINGFUL METRICS

Executives rely on evidence to drive decision-making, optimize operations and ultimately improve their organizations over time.

Cybersecurity is a critical business function. Until now, it has not had the systems in place to stress-test and continuously validate effectiveness. Organizations have been forced to rely on hope and assumptions.

Common assumptions:

Technologies work as vendors claim
Products are correctly deployed and configured (and stay that way)
People are correctly handling events, and processes are effective
Changes to the environment are fully understood, clearly communicated and correctly implemented
