It is very important for us that Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data. It was one of the most important topics for us when we were searching for this kind of tool. We wanted a single pane of glass to see all our assets in the company as well as all the vulnerabilities, not only from a single scanner but from different security scanners that we use in the company. Vulcan Cyber is very good for collecting our organization’s risk signals from multiple tools and attack surfaces into a single data lake. It is able to ingest information from different sources. They also have some capabilities to deduplicate data that is already in different sources. When you see it in their platform, in their data lake as they call it, you see it as a single entry instead of having duplicates all over the place. Vulcan Cyber has had a great impact because previously, we had to review the vulnerabilities manually before going ahead and communicating them to the different owners. Now, with the automation that Vulcan Cyber provides, it is very easy for us to see exactly what is the risk of a vulnerability, not only by the CVSS score, but also depending on if the vulnerability is currently exploited in the wild, or if there are exploits that are publicly available that can be used by anyone. All of those tasks are automated by Vulcan in the backend. We see a summary of the vulnerability, so we know whether it is very critical for us because it is affecting some of our assets. It could also be floating in the wild, so we need to take care of it immediately, or it might not be as critical as we thought initially. It might be classified as a high-risk vulnerability, but there is no expert available, so we have to wait a little bit longer to patch everything. The combination of all the data that we get in the platform helps with the automation of a task. There were some decisions that we had to manually review previously. Now, with all the information provided by Vulcan in a single place for each vulnerability, it is easier for us to understand if something is really critical and needs to be patched immediately or it can wait a little bit longer until we have some spare time to patch different systems in the company. Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation. We have the capability to open some tickets automatically for different vulnerabilities we have in the platform without having to go to different ticketing tools or business owners individually. In the company, we use different ticketing tools depending on the department, so having them all integrated inside of Vulcan is helpful. Having a single button to create tickets automatically, providing all the information already gathered by Vulcan in this ticket, and then just passing the ticket to different teams impacts the remediation. Vulcan Cyber has, for sure, helped save costs for our organization when it comes to human hours spent to fix vulnerabilities. We do not have to manually review each vulnerability and go to the different threat intelligence sources to identify if there are any exploits or if they are being exploited in the wild by malicious threat actors. When we have all that information in the platform, we can make decisions based on the data that we already have. That saves a lot of human hours.
