It’s past time to go beyond the spreadsheet!
Organizations need solutions to go beyond manual processes that try to glue together disparate legacy attack surface management, vulnerability scanning, and pen testing approaches. What’s required are solutions that offer:
coverage over more of the security hygiene and posture management stack
continuous coverage of the ever-evolving attack surface
automation to enable a more efficient use of resources and enhance collaboration between teams
