Skybox Security, a leading provider of Exposure Management solutions, is announcing a series of new features that streamline exposure management across attack surface, security policy, and vulnerability management workflows. Tackling the evolving threat and security landscape, Skybox’s latest enhancements continue to abstract complexities from exposure management.
Complexity and today’s security environment are becoming increasingly synonymous, where dynamic threats, sprawling networks, and ongoing cyberattacks create an overwhelming workload for security teams. These workloads are further inundated with manual tasks that are not only time consuming but also error prone—acting as a hotbed for introducing more risk, according to Skybox.
Spurred by these inefficiencies, Skybox is debuting a series of automation capabilities engineered to help organizations respond faster to the evolving technological landscape; maintain compliance with industry best practices; reduce the risk of manual tasks; and rearrange where valuable technical resources are directed, according to the company.
“It’s clear that security teams need solutions that enable them to proactively manage risk, not constantly chase it,” said Mordecai Rosen, CEO of Skybox Security. “Security automation has been our focus for a long time, and our customers have already realized dramatic productivity and efficiency gains using Skybox automation. These new automation enhancements will translate to drastically reduced risk across the hybrid attack surface, optimized security policy for firewall and network operations, and the freedom to focus on strategic security initiatives.”
Skybox’s release introduces streamlined exposure management with policy-driven automation, which delivers automation policies designed to help enterprises automate attack surface management, security policy management, and vulnerability management processes. With enhanced attack surface management fueled by automation, organizations benefit from automating oversight through policy-driven controls, allowing teams to easily assign responsibilities and simplify task management.
To help security teams prioritize vulnerabilities based on how they’ll impact the business, Skybox is debuting automation risk prioritization, which offers automated, policy-driven scoring. This enables teams to effortlessly group and score assets based on a variety of criteria—including dynamic importance—so that energy is focused on the risks that are most critical.
These new automations also work to reduce cost while increasing efficiency, enabling enterprises to quickly build and deploy automation policies to improve security policy hygiene. This also helps to clean up firewall rule bases and initiate change management workflows, according to Skybox.
