Prioritizing Real Risks with CERTINETY: Focus on What Matters Most

In today’s fast-paced digital world, security teams are inundated with alerts, vulnerabilities, and potential risks. Not all risks are created equal, yet traditional penetration testing and vulnerability management solutions often fail to distinguish between critical threats and low-priority issues. This leads to wasted time and effort, leaving organizations vulnerable to real threats. CERTINETY offers a game-changing solution by helping security teams prioritize real risks, enabling them to focus on what truly matters.

The Challenge: Noise vs. Actionable Risks Cybersecurity teams often struggle with:

  1. Overwhelming Volumes of Alerts: Traditional tools generate countless alerts, many of which are false positives or low-priority issues.
  2. Limited Resources: Security teams have finite time and manpower, making it challenging to address every vulnerability.
  3. Blind Spots: Without a clear understanding of which vulnerabilities pose the greatest danger, teams may overlook critical threats.

This “needle in a haystack” problem not only drains resources but also increases the risk of breaches as critical vulnerabilities remain unaddressed.

CERTINETY’s Solution: Real Risk Prioritization

CERTINETY takes a smarter approach by focusing on actionable risks that have the potential to cause significant harm. Here’s how it works:

  1. Real-World Attack Emulation CERTINETY emulates real-world attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to identify vulnerabilities that are actually exploitable. This ensures that your team’s attention is directed toward threats that matter.
  2. Risk-Based Prioritization CERTINETY evaluates vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and exploitability. It highlights:
    • High-Risk Vulnerabilities: Issues that, if exploited, could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or compliance violations.
    • Low-Priority Issues: Risks that are unlikely to be exploited or have minimal impact, saving your team from unnecessary work.
  3. Detailed Context and Insights
  4. For each identified risk, CERTINETY provides:

    • The severity of the risk.
    • The potential impact of exploitation.
    • Step-by-step remediation guidance to address the vulnerability effectively.

    This contextual information empowers security teams to make informed decisions and act quickly.

  5. Elimination of False Positives Unlike traditional tools that overwhelm teams with false alarms, CERTINETY’s intelligent algorithms ensure that only real, actionable risks are flagged. This dramatically improves efficiency and confidence in the remediation process.

Benefits for Security Teams

By helping security teams focus on what truly matters, CERTINETY delivers:

  1. Increased Efficiency: Teams can allocate their time and resources to addressing high-priority risks, reducing wasted effort.
  2. Reduced Attack Surface: By addressing critical vulnerabilities first, organizations significantly lower their exposure to potential attacks.
  3. Improved Incident Response: With clear visibility into exploitable risks, teams can respond faster and more effectively to potential threats.
  4. Enhanced Morale: Reducing noise and false positives minimizes frustration and burnout among security professionals.

Real-World Impact

Consider a scenario where CERTINETY identifies a misconfiguration in an externally facing server that could lead to unauthorized access. While traditional tools may flag dozens of unrelated vulnerabilities, CERTINETY prioritizes this issue, highlighting its potential to cause a major data breach. With CERTINETY’s guidance, the security team can address this critical risk immediately, preventing a potential disaster.
