OTAVA S.E.C.U.R.E. Score simplifies cybersecurity strategy for businesses
OTAVA introduced the OTAVA S.E.C.U.R.E. Score to help businesses further improve their security posture.
The S.E.C.U.R.E. Score is a dynamic metric that assesses vulnerabilities, and makes recommendations on how to close security gaps and minimize risk. The S.E.C.U.R.E. acronym stands for Shrink, Examine, Contain, Undo, Recover, and Evaluate – the incremental steps to understanding areas of vulnerability, and how to protect businesses from evolving and escalating cyber threats.
“Businesses continue to face increasing threats of cyber attacks across every aspect of their IT environments. Continually enhancing security posture and striving to protect against these ever-changing attack vectors is a top priority for IT leaders,” said Brian Hoekelman, VP of Product and Business Development, OTAVA. “The S.E.C.U.R.E. Score redefines how businesses approach cybersecurity. For the first time, it is possible for our customers to see their entire cloud and IT environments on a single dashboard. Armed with detailed guidance and suggested solutions, businesses can confidently elevate their security solutions and stay ahead of emerging threats.”
Available within the OTAVA ENCORE Portal, S.E.C.U.R.E. Score is based on OTAVA’s S.E.C.U.R.E. Framework, a process that simplifies cybersecurity strategy by breaking it down into manageable components, and aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework.
The easy-to-understand scoring system breaks down complex cybersecurity challenges into manageable components, empowering businesses to assess their current security posture in real-time. With the clear security posture snapshot, the platform offers personalized recommendations, actionable insights, and best practices to improve defenses.
OTAVA will make the S.E.C.U.R.E. Score available to customers starting this month. It measures the effectiveness of cloud services utilization, identifies gaps in a current environment, and provides recommendations for improvement.
S.E.C.U.R.E. Score monitors all relevant areas of the cloud services environment, regardless of the vendor, including monitoring, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), malware solutions, data protection and disaster recovery solutions, patching, and other areas of vulnerability. A list of recommendations is provided, along with actionable steps designed to help customers improve their score and overall security posture.
