Reduce risks, increase control with Vulnerability Risk and Compliance (VRC) for ServiceNow

To secure their organizations, CISOs need complete visibility and control of all their IT assets, especially as their environments expand and become more distributed. Unfortunately, many of the vulnerability-management tools CISOs use today are slow, siloed, inefficient, and limited.

This can leave CISOs with dangerous blind spots, stale data, isolated security and operations teams, and compromised network performance.

These limitations are not only frustrating for CISOs, but also risky for their organizations. Most cyberbreaches exploit either known asset vulnerabilities or simple application misconfigurations. Yet many organizations remain vulnerable to attack.

Indeed, according to Forrester, nearly 45% of enterprise risk management decision-makers have experienced three or more critical risk events in the last 12 months. Clearly, a better approach is needed.

A better way

That better approach is here: Tanium Vulnerability Risk and Compliance (VRC) for ServiceNow.
