Intro
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, challenges like prioritizing vulnerabilities, managing manual tasks, and coordinating remediation across teams aren’t limited to large enterprises. Smaller organizations face the same risks—often with fewer resources to tackle them.
So, how do you know if it’s the right time to adopt an exposure management platform?
Use the checklist below to evaluate your organization’s current challenges and learn what Vulcan Cyber can do for you.
Risk-based prioritization
How Vulcan Cyber can support you
- Risk-based prioritization: Move beyond technical severity and prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual business risk. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS enhances scanner output by integrating threat intelligence and contextual data. It assesses the exploitability of vulnerabilities and their potential impact on critical assets, helping you focus on the risk that poses the greatest threat to your organization.
- Risk exception flows: Not all vulnerabilities must be remedied. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS helps you prioritize by excluding low-impact vulnerabilities. With exception flows, you can get stakeholder approval to mark certain vulnerabilities as ‘acknowledged risk’, helping you focus your efforts where they’re needed most.
Ownership and remediation orchestration
How Vulcan Cyber can support you
- Asset ownership assignment: Stop the chase by automatically assigning remediation tasks to the right owner. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS uses factors like asset type, criticality, and business function to automatically designate the remediation owner, reducing the need for manual assignments.
- Automated remediation: Automate repetitive tasks and reduce critical vulnerabilities with minimal human intervention. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS allows you to set defined conditions and automatically take action—like creating a ticket in Jira or sending a message on Slack.
- Remediation tracking: Track responsibility and avoid communication challenges with real-time progress tracking. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS includes remediation campaigns, allowing you to track progress, review ticket updates, and stay fully informed and in control every step of the way.
- Remediation guidance: Don’t just identify risks, learn how to fix them. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS comes fully equipped with AI-driven remediation guidance, such as patches, scripts, software updates, delivery methods, and more, embedding all necessary details into the ticket. This streamlines ticket resolution and boosts collaboration, speeding up remediation.
Tracking and reporting
How Vulcan Cyber can support you
- Comprehensive metrics: Don’t operate blindly. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS allows you to establish and track key metrics like mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR), SLA compliance, patching compliance, overall risk reduction, and much more, to ensure that you remain on track and align your remediation efforts with business objectives.
- Risk reporting: Easily track and share your progress with stakeholders. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS offers a suite of pre-built reports for every audience, from practitioners to executives, providing over-time progress tracking, visualizations, and in-depth analysis to support informed decision-making across your organization.
- Custom reports: Reporting is never one-size-fits-all. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS lets you fully customize your reports, build ones from scratch using an extensive widget library, and even create custom widgets to track anything you need, tailored to your unique requirements and use cases.
Security data and asset management
How Vulcan Cyber can support you
- Data consolidation: You can’t reduce attack surface risk without visibility into your entire attack surface. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS seamlessly connects with every tool in your security tech stack—scanners, asset inventories, cloud providers, and more—bringing all your siloed security findings into one unified view.
- Data correlation: Aggregation alone won’t cut it—you need your data to speak the same language. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS correlates, clusters, and de-duplicates your security findings to deliver a crystal-clear picture of your whole security landscape.
- Asset management: You don’t need a perfect CMDB to understand your asset inventory. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS combines asset metadata from across your scanners and other security tools, giving you a unified view of your assets across environments.
Future needs
How Vulcan Cyber can support you
- Scalability: You need a platform that grows with you. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS lets you start small and scale as needed, providing unlimited growth potential for even the largest enterprises across industries.
- Future-proofing: You’re not the only one evolving—the threat landscape is too. The Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS is built for flexibility, letting you seamlessly adapt to new use cases, attack surfaces, vulnerabilities, and asset types. It’s adaptability by design, driven by data to address the full spectrum of exposure risk.
