RiskSense Recognized in 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards ProgramRiskSense®, Inc., the pioneer and market leader in pro-active cyber risk management, today announced that it was named a finalist in two categories of the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for its innovation and leadership in information security. RiskSense and the RiskSense Platform have been shortlisted in the Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company and Best Vulnerability Management product categories by a panel of security experts as well as a popular vote by the information security community. "Being selected by the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards program as a finalist in two categories from hundreds of nominations is very gratifying," said Torsten George, vice president of global marketing and products at RiskSense. "This recognition illustrates the value RiskSense delivers to organizations that want to identify and reduce their cyber risk exposure across the entire computing stack by automating manually intensive security management processes." The RiskSense Platform transforms cyber risk management into a more pro-active, collaborative, and real-time discipline. The platform embodies the expertise and deep knowledge RiskSense has gained from defending critical networks against the world's most dangerous cyber adversaries. As former advisors to the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Intelligence Community, RiskSense founders developed Computational Analysis of Cyber Terrorism against the U.S. (CACTUS), Support Vectors Intrusion (News - Alert) Detection, Behavior Risk Analysis of Vicious Executables (BRAVE), and the Strike Team Program. The RiskSense Platform uses patented technology and leverages existing technology investments to unify and contextualize internal security intelligence (e.g., vulnerabilities, control posture, events), external threat data feeds (e.g., exploits, malware, threat actors, reputational intelligence), and business criticality to identify imminent cyber risks and prioritize remediation actions for physical and virtual assets within an organization's infrastructure. In turn, organizations are offered a risk-based prioritization of the gaps that need to be mitigated first based on their business impact. Ultimately, RiskSense empowers enterprises and governments to apply proper cyber hygiene, strengthen their cyber security posture, lower remediation costs, dramatically shorten time-to-remediation, and overall reduce the risk of the impact of cyber-attacks on their organizations. "Congratulations to RiskSense for being recognized as a finalist in the Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company and Vulnerability Management product categories of the 2016 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards," said Holger Schulze, founder of the 300,000-member Information Security Community on LinkedIn (News - Alert).
