Kenna Security delivers industry-first peer benchmarking for vulnerability managementNew features and enhancements improve upon Kenna’s data-driven approach to cybersecurity, giving companies an industry-specific view of their risk SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Karim Toubba, CEO at Kenna Security News Summary Kenna Security, a leader in predictive cyber risk, today announced significant updates to the Kenna Security Platform, delivering the vulnerability management industry’s first and only peer benchmarking capability, improved scoring for application security risks, and a new home view to provide at-a-glance vulnerability risk management performance and trends. Now companies across financial services, retail, healthcare, and other highly targeted industries can compare their cyber risk postures against peers. This latest release extends the ability of Kenna customers to rapidly assess their organization’s security posture and prioritize remediation of the most critical cyber risks. The improvements include new features and enhancements to the user experience, including:
News in Depth Enterprise networks cotain more vulnerabilities than their security teams can manage. The teams rely on dozens of security tools, which bombard them with data and a cacophony of alerts. But security teams don’t have the context to know which vulnerabilities to address first. The Kenna Security Platform is a scalable, cloud-based solution combining the most informed, contextualized, and accurate risk prioritization available with an intuitive user interface to enable organizations to proactively manage their most important vulnerabilities. The platform provides metrics which security teams can use to accurately quantify, visualize, and remediate their cyber risk posture over time. The new peer benchmarking feature—the first in the vulnerability management space—will integrate anonymized data from Kenna’s clients to create clear comparisons of risk posture against the industry average and help drive more informed decision making on security programs. Using an industry average to benchmark an enterprise’s risk means that risk reductions by individual organizations will lead to continual improvements across the broader industry. Kenna has enhanced the logic and algorithms of its vulnerability management platform to more precisely handle the realities of application vulnerability risk. This provides application security teams with a far more granular and accurate view of their risk posture. Application risk scores now feature improved accuracy for CWE-based CVEs and supports additional threat and exploit intelligence sources for fast-moving application layer CVEs using tactics like scanner honeypots. Proving accurate measurement for cyber risk requires the capability to seamlessly integrate and correlate data from multiple security and technology sources. That’s why Kenna Security has built-in support for more than 55 different data sources, including all major vulnerability assessment scanners. Further expanding the breadth of data that can be correlated in the platform, Kenna Security is introducing the Kenna Data Importer to enable easy normalization of non-standard data and provides a new way for customers to leverage their custom data sources into the Kenna Security platform. The Kenna Data Importer can be used across the Kenna Security Platform to ingest any type of data and is particularly valuable to application security teams who commonly use custom security and testing tools. This delivers near-universal compatibility with security data sources to provide enhanced context, risk-scoring, and prioritization.
