Security Engineer at HashXpert

Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Prioritized cloud risks have transformed our small team and focus now shifts to weaponizable threats

The best features Skyhawk Security offers are the ability to prioritize your work, especially when you have limited staff, and ensure that you address the most important issues first and with urgency. A security team is usually very thin-spread and doesn't have a lot of resources to solve issues. Skyhawk allows me to prioritize those based on the actual probability of a vulnerability being exploited. Skyhawk Security helps me prioritize through the dashboards. They have a dashboard that shows me the amount of vulnerabilities that I have. From those vulnerabilities, it lists out the ones that are exploitable. From the ones that are exploitable, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and how they are weaponizable. From there, it shows me the ones that are weaponizable and have the ability to impact my Crown Jewels. Skyhawk Security has positively impacted my organization because we are a small security team, and Skyhawk Security allows us to prioritize our work. We are better at what we do, and it doesn't take more people to do more important work. With the limited staff that we have, we are able to address the things that pose the highest risk to us first, rather than take all the critical vulnerabilities and address them one by one without any type of prioritization. Our outcomes since using Skyhawk Security changed because we went down from thousands of vulnerabilities that we needed to review and address to a prioritized list that includes a handful of vulnerabilities that we needed to fix because they were the most urgent. We then have a work plan to address all the others. From a focus perspective, it improved the focus of my team, and it improved the efficiency and effectiveness of my team because we are now addressing the most urgent issues first.

Zero trust access has transformed remote connectivity and now simplifies secure app usage

Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange Platform, especially Zscaler Private Access, is very strong, though there are a few areas where improvements can be made. One challenge observed is around initial troubleshooting and visibility. While Zscaler Private Access provides logs, it can sometimes take time to pinpoint the exact cause of access issues, especially in complex environments with multiple policies and identity integration. Another area is the dependency on identity and connector health. Since Zscaler Private Access is heavily reliant on app connectors and identity providers, any issues with these components can impact user access, making proper monitoring critical. During the initial setup, policy configuration and application onboarding require careful planning, especially for larger environments with many applications. These challenges are manageable with proper design and monitoring. Overall, the platform delivers strong security and user experience. I would recommend a few improvements, especially around user interface, reporting, and troubleshooting experience. From a user interface perspective, while the platform is powerful, the policy configuration and navigation can feel complex, especially for new users. A more simplified and intuitive layout for policy mapping and application access would help reduce the learning curve. In terms of reporting, Zscaler Private Access provides logs, but having more built-in customizable dashboards and analytics would be very helpful. Better visibility into user access patterns, application performance, and real-time troubleshooting insights would improve operational efficiency. From a support and troubleshooting standpoint, it would be beneficial to have more granular centralized visibility, allowing for quick end-to-end tracing of a user request from authentication to application access without switching between multiple views. These improvements would make the platform even more efficient, especially for large-scale enterprise environments.
