Alfa Group RHDVM Solution mentioned in the Gartner® Market Guide for Vulnerability Assessment
We are proud to announce that Alfa Group was acknowledged as a Representative Vendor for Vulnerability Assessment and Vulnerability Prioritization Technologies use case in the Gartner Market Guide for Vulnerability Assessment , published on August 7th, 2023.
In this Market Guide, Gartner® provides an analysis of the Vulnerability Assessment market and lists 40 vendors who “provide mature capabilities covering VA and VPT.”
Alfa Group is mentioned for the Vulnerability Assessment and Vulnerability Prioritization Technologies use case. This research highlights that “vulnerability management remains a critical security operations activity that helps organizations identify assets, mitigate threats and meet compliance mandates.” In this context, it provides useful recommendations for security and risk managers to understand Vulnerability Assessment technologies as part of a broader Exposure Management program.”
In the VA market, the Guide furthermore recognizes that “prioritization, though a stage in RBVM, is of prime importance for effective risk and threat reduction. In essence, it is directly aiding in the reduction of your organization’s attack surface”. It also emphasizes that “VPT tools have significantly changed the VA market. Today, these solutions mainly address critical gaps in VA solutions insomuch as how they can better postprocess the often-sheer volume of telemetry produced by VA solutions. Most VPT tools started with a focus on prioritization but are now evolving into vulnerability intelligence tools to fuel various aspects of VM”.
We believe that Alfa Group’s RHDVM provides many of the features and capabilities cited as essential in the Guide for a Vulnerability Prioritization solution and, in general, for the Vulnerability Assessment market:
- End-to-end management of the vulnerability lifecycle: Among its recommendations, the guide suggests to ”Evaluate VA solutions’ capabilities for assessment coverage and depth, and support of stand-alone product integrations to fill in the gaps across the vulnerability life cycle, and to assist in remediation automation.”
RHDVM allows for governing the entire Vulnerability Management Lifecycle in an efficient and structured manner, with the necessary flexibility to swiftly adapt to the context of the individual organizations. Natively integrating with the main Vulnerability Assessment technologies on the market and correlating the telemetry with information deriving from Penetration Test and Red Teaming reports, Threat intelligence feeds and other systems (IT Ticketing, SIEM, SOAR, CMDB software), RHD VM facilitates the automation of vulnerability analysis, categorization, assignment and remediation activities, providing a complete picture in real time of the company’s security posture, cyber risk level and actions to be taken.
Unified platform Among the recommendations, Gartner also emphasizes how it is important to “leverage vulnerability prioritization technology (VPT) solutions to aid in implementing a risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) approach. A tool’s ability to bring the results on a consolidated platform for prioritization and treatment (e.g., patching and other compensating measures) is also important to enhance operational efficiency.”
RHD VM allows for collecting and storing all the vulnerability data in a centralized repository. It enables the analysis, correlation, aggregation and remediation of vulnerabilities through a single interface. A unified environment through which security experts can view from various technological sources and manual inputs in an aggregated and dynamic form, via dashboards and detailed views.
Within the same platform, it's also possible to have full control over remediation processes, thanks to a low-code workflow builder for designing workflows, and real-time visualization of the status of remediation activities through progress bars.
Enrichment of vulnerability data with contextual information from Asset and Threat Intelligence: the Guide identifies one of the standard capabilities of VPT as being the "ability to correlate vulnerability severity, asset context, and threat context, thus providing a more accurate view of the actual risk for the specific environment."
By integrating VA evidence with information regarding the criticality and exposure of assets from asset management tools, as well as threat intelligence on attacker activity, vulnerabilities subject to exploitation, and the malware that exploits them, RHDVM supports a comprehensive understanding of the organization's attack surface. This facilitates the contextualization and prioritization of the most critical vulnerabilities and the planning of remediation activities based on the actual risk level for the company.
Alfa Group is committed to constantly growing and innovating with and for its clients to guarantee cutting-edge solutions to best meet the ever-growing needs of the market and enterprise.
It is therefore important for us to share this recognition, which we believe recognizes our commitment to creating an instrument able to support companies in evolving their business by increasing their security, preventing and resolving IT risks.
