Agiliance Becomes a Board and Business Standard for Managing Cyber Security Operational Risks in 2014


Agiliance®, Inc., the Big Data Risk Company™ and leading independent provider of integrated solutions for Operational and Security Risk Intelligence, today detailed how it became a board of directors and business unit standard for managing Cyber Security Operational Risk in 2014. Last year, marquee global 1000 companies and government agencies deployed RiskVision to thousands of business users in their organizations who make real-time risk-based decisions and keep board members informed on strategic risks. Agiliance also reported that its 2014 license growth rate was 176%, and that it generated $1 million of income in the fourth quarter alone. This builds on the momentum the company announced in October of 2014.

While 2014 is known as the "Year of the Breach", the cost to organizations goes far beyond reputational damage in the media. Boards and businesses are subjected to regulatory mandates that carry fines and capital holds, and increasingly face litigation from numerous class-action suits that reduce market value and expose liability. Cyber security insurance has eerged as a stop-gap to protect stakeholders from the short comings of siloed risk management processes, but some insurers are citing litigation and poor operations as reasons not to payout on losses. In response, leading companies are investing in software like RiskVision to continuously trend metrics on strategic risks and take decisive actions.



RiskVision is an innovative tool for all business people to visualize, measure, and action risks in real-time. RiskVision's patented technology aggregates and correlates live data from over 70 leading business, security, IT, and identity software products to produce actionable intelligence and metrics understood by business users and boards. Notable RiskVision milestones at Agiliance accounts during 2014 include:

  • A top 10 global financial services firm deployed the company's third-party risk management solution to 5,000 day-to-day workflow users, improving operational efficiencies five-fold and removing audit failures.
  • A top 3 U.S. civilian agency surpassed 1 million assets monitored and 10 million vulnerabilities prioritized using one RiskVision instance. It achieved FISMA and FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO) on its critical systems and incorporated Apache™ Hadoop big data analytics to trend metrics.
  • A top 5 outsourcer released an 'all-cloud' operational IT system to protect 250,000 assets by correlating threats, vulnerabilities, controls, risk prioritization, ticket workflow, and mitigation.
  • A Fortune 25 healthcare provider re-architected security and IT operations incident response and threat mitigation on 300,000 critical assets and to secure its cloud healthcare exchanges.
  • A Fortune 100 food retailer integrated Splunk (News - Alert) IT intelligence with RiskVision, halving operational costs and streamlining global sites' collaboration in its incident response program.

Some leading cross-sector organizations who chose or expanded their use of the RiskVision product in 2014 include AXA Insurance, Bell Canada (News - Alert), Deutsche Bank AG, DNB, E*TRADE, Fannie Mae, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB), Fiserv, Genentech, IOOF Australia, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Novartis, Optum, Raytheon (News - Alert), Safeway, UnitedHealth Group, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.


"Board members demand quantitative risk data that is normalized across all business operations to govern cyber risk issues. Meanwhile, business people need to neutralize the impact of cybercrime with purpose-built tools to see risk and act swiftly," said Joe Fantuzzi, president and chief executive officer at Agiliance. "Agiliance's ability to deliver solutions in less than 60 days to provide boards and business users actionable intelligence to manage cyber security operational risks is a primary reason that our license subscription rate grew faster than ever in 2014 and our financials are best in class."
