Half-life of Static Security Assessments
Security is a dynamic, ongoing process. Point-in-time security assessments and singular reviews are static. While static audits may provide short-term confidence that data is secure, in reality the half-life of these assessments is very short due to constantly changing technologies, environments and threats. The need is rapidly increasing for more business driven security solutions that provide flexible, scalable security management within an organization's day-to-day operational processes.
Whether it's mandated by a specific compliance requirement such as PCI, or you simply need to stay one step ahead of threats to protect business critical assets, Stalwart's remote vulnerability assessment & management service brings visibility, awareness and consistency to your organization. Powered by FusionVM SaaS from Critical Watch, this service continuously pinpoints at-risk devices and streamlines remediation to drive sustainable compliance and audit readiness. By automating the key discovery, assessment and workflow processes it delivers proactive, policy-driven vulnerability management while reducing costs.
Stalwart also provides full mitigation support for clients who choose our Configuration and Change Management Service. Regardless of which option they choose, clients gain added situational awareness via Stalwart's remediation workflows, as well as detailed vulnerability reports from our security research team.
