The integration with such a large number of third-party security technologies found special mention in Gartner's report titled "MarketScope for IT Governance, Risk and Compliance Management"(1). "While most security tools are great for collecting and storing large amounts of unstructured data, that doesn't necessarily mean an organization is ready for risk-based queries that make risk visible, measurable, and most importantly, actionable," said Torsten George, vice president of marketing and products at Agiliance. "Agiliance is excited to offer the industry's broadest range of dedicated data connectors, enabling organizations to gain insights into their risk and compliance posture by aggregating and correlating data from typically silo-based security tools in Agiliance RiskVision." Connectors for Agiliance RiskVision are priced at US $15,000 each.
