ePlus Identifies Cyber Security Risks through New Vulnerability Management Service
June 20 2019 - 8:30AM
ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS) today announced the launch of
Vulnerability Management as a Service, providing identification,
prioritization and remediation of organizational cyber security
weaknesses that leave data at risk.
The ePlus Vulnerability Management as a Service
solution leverages Tenable.io®, the industry’s first Cyber Exposure
platform, which is supported by its deep expertise in Vulnerability
Management. The service assesses the network and then provides
insight into any discovered vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are
automatically prioritized using Tenable’s newly-released Predictive
Prioritization capabilities which dramatically improve remediation
efforts by identifying the three percent of flaws that are most
likely to be exploited in the near future.
“Vulnerabilities are critical weaknesses that
exist across your digital infrastructure, and which heighten the
risk to your organization,” said Lee Waskevich, Vice President,
Security Solutions at ePlus. “These exposures can be exploited by
malicious actors to disrupt critical systems and infrastructure, as
well exfiltrate sensitive or personal information. All it takes is
a single vulnerability exploited by an attacker to disrupt an
entire organization.”
Streamlining control of vulnerability management
through ePlus delivers an integrated and proactive approach that
provides active monitoring to detect and prioritize responses to
discovered vulnerabilities across the entire organizational
network.
“Organizations today are grappling with
vulnerability overload, with thousands of new flaws discovered
every year. To make matters worse, the global cyber workforce
shortage leaves security teams with fewer resources to solve this
ever-growing problem,” said John Negron, Chief Revenue Officer,
Tenable. “This is why we’ve launched Predictive Prioritization as
part of our Cyber Exposure platform. With the help of our partners,
such as ePlus, we’re letting our shared customers know where
they’re exposed, to what extent, and which vulnerabilities should
be remediated first. These are all critical components of an
effective Cyber Exposure strategy.”
According to Gartner, 99 percent of the
vulnerabilities exploited by the end of 2020 will continue to be
ones known by security and IT professionals at the time of the
incident. Attacks resulting in data loss are usually performed by
exploiting known and documented security vulnerabilities in
software, network infrastructure, servers, workstations, phone
systems, printers and employee devices.
“With the ePlus team providing Vulnerability
Management services leveraging Tenable.io for vulnerability
management in the cloud, including comprehensive assessments,
prioritization and threat research, in-house security teams can
focus on higher-value tasks, such as security program improvement
and threat hunting,” said Waskevich.
