SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cavirin turned heads last week by cracking the Menlo Park, CA Cybersecurity Ventures Top 500 Hot Cybersecurity Companies to Watch. The organization vaulted into the top-half of the rankings for the first time coming in at #87. This news comes on the heels of the most important global cybersecurity conference put on by RSA. It was held in San Francisco the week of April 20th, 2015.
Cavirin is a thought leader in cloud security with an impressive and growing line up of customers and big brand name technology partners,” says Steve Morgan, founder and CEO at Cybersecurity Ventures and Editor-In-Chief of the Cybersecurity Market Report and the Cybersecurity 500. “Wrapping governance, risk and compliance (GRC) around the cloud is a daunting proposition for CISOs and IT security practitioners. Just defining what the ‘cloud’ is and where it extends to as it relates to securing an enterprise is a big challenge. That’s where Cavirin comes in. They take a unique approach to automating IT and cloud security for corporations in the healthcare, insurance, legal, finance, retail, and transportation verticals.”
Balanced Scorecard for Risk
CEO JD Sherry explains the uniqueness of the company’s approach. “Cavirin’s Automated Risk Analysis Platform provides complete transparency of IT risk. We leverage a proprietary, agent-less discovery engine to continuously catalog your devices no matter where they reside (Cloud as well as on premise), known or unknown. Once devices are discovered, the platform can dynamically apply thousands of out of the box security and compliance frameworks, such as NIST, CIS, ISO, HIPAA and PCI etc. based on customer’s specific industry requirements. Customers can also author their own unique policies.” Sherry goes on to emphasize, “The end result is a balanced scorecard approach to identifying assets, calculating their risk to the business and then prescribing fixes. Constantly discovering and always assessing…Boards, directors and officers are going to continue to be in the cross hairs if they don’t look to leverage more proactive approaches to understanding how they assess, manage and mitigate their IT risk. Especially with hybrid cloud infrastructure becoming more of a reality. Cyber risk is not an IT issue, it is a board-level issue.”
