TAC Security ESOF VMDR offers vulnerability management coverage in a single platform

TAC Security launched its new ESOF Vulnerability Management Detection and Response (VMDR) solution, as part of its Enterprise Security in One Framework (ESOF) suite of solutions.

ESOF VMDR secures networks with complete vulnerability and risk management from one central console.

“Our ESOF VMDR platform offers all the capabilities available from today’s vulnerability and risk management providers with several critical new capabilities, ” said Trishneet Arora, TAC Security’s founder and CEO. ESOF VMDR is the only product to combine in a Single Console vulnerability management for people, infrastructure and applications, incidents, governance risk and compliance (GRC). Our five key capabilities dramatically reduce the time for security leaders to understand and mitigate their cyber risks in the age of Zero Trust.”

ESOF is a single platform that provides vulnerability assessment across the entire IT stack and an aggregate score of cyber risk that incorporates data from the widest view of an organization’s vulnerabilities. Among ESOF’s unique features is an AI-powered Cyber Risk Score that provides a single score for the enterprise and drill down visibility into risk by business unit, which enables IT and security teams to efficiently communicate, prioritize and take action to improve their security posture. ESOF also ingests data from multiple sources to provide the most comprehensive picture available of an organization’s risks.

ESOF VMDR incorporates three core capabilities: discover and catalog all IT assets, vulnerability assessment scanning, and vulnerability remediation.

• ESOF VMDR integrates cloud agents, active scanner capability and network analysis to discover all infrastructure assets automatically without the need for human intervention. This includes unmanaged hardware and software assets.
• It provides virtual scanning technology to actively find assets and vulnerabilities anywhere in a network environment, including cloud and mobile.
• It then initiates a remediation process and provides automatic follow-up, so IT and security teams know which critical vulnerabilities have been patched.

ESOF VMDR offers the widest vulnerability management coverage in a single platform; its next generation vulnerability management combines legacy vulnerability assessment plus multiple security tools to analyze mobile, phishing, SIEM, people, GRC and threat intelligence risks. It gives IT and security teams a view of vulnerability history with the pattern and type found going back five years since onboarding.

ESOF VMDR builds on the capabilities of TAC Security’s ESOF suite of vulnerability and risk solutions, including:

• AppSec – Performs scheduled scans via black box and grey box testing, discovers all potential vulnerabilities with zero false positives, enables teams to take immediate action on most probable business threats and creates a detailed report of the top-10 vulnerabilities along with the severity of the risk.
• Vulnerability Management Platform (VMP) – which ingests data and prioritizes a network’s most critical vulnerabilities and vulnerable assets, accelerating the remediation process with these key features:
• Top 10 assets and vulnerabilities reports automatically prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities on the significant assets of an organization
• Daily, weekly, monthly, annual scans by Asset Type or Business Units
• Analysis of assets by Business Unit structure to manage rapidly across organizations
• Notification of possible zero-day vulnerable assets that exist in your IT stack.

“Organizations frequently need to take a fresh look at their vulnerability management capabilities and update them with the newest solutions to reduce the opportunity for breaches,” said Michael Osterman, principal analyst with research firm Osterman Research. “TAC Security’s new ESOF VMDR includes an array of new features that security teams should review and consider before selecting a vulnerability and risk management provider.”
