SUNNYVALE, Calif. & ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RiskSense® Inc., the pioneer and market leader in pro-active cyber risk management, today announced that it was selected a SINET 16 Innovator for 2016. SINET, an organization focused on advancing cyber security innovation through public-private collaboration, selected RiskSense from a pool of 82 companies from across the globe for its new approach to cyber risk management. The RiskSense Platform™ extracts actionable intelligence from the massive volume of data generated by an organization’s patchwork of cyber security products, threat intelligence feeds, and other siloed IT systems to prioritize cyber risks based on business criticality. This pro-active model enables security and operations teams to focus remediation efforts on the most severe and imminent threats.
“Being named a SINET 16 winner is a special honor and great opportunity to showcase the RiskSense Platform to industry and government buyers in Washington this November,” said Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala, co-founder and chief executive officer at RiskSense. “We have developed an automated approach that finally allows organizations to cut through the noise from their best of breed security products and threat intelligence feeds in order to orchestrate remediation efforts based on the risk that individual vulnerabilities pose to the business.”
According to SINET, this year’s applicant pool of early stage and emerging technology companies was the most competitive in its eight-year history. Entries were evaluated in a two-stage process by the SINET Showcase Steering Committee, which was comprised of 100 cyber security professionals, including chief security information officers from leading organizations worldwide, experts in government intelligence and defense agencies, distinguished venture capital firms specializing in security, security entrepreneurs, and security experts from academia.
The RiskSense Platform extracts actionable intelligence from massive volumes of data generated by layers of cyber security products, including vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence feeds, and other IT security systems. This allows organizations to quickly and precisely assess their cyber risk exposure across a growing attack surface, orchestrate remediation, and monitor the results. RiskSense’s pro-active approach reduces the dwell time between detection to remediation from months to minutes, by unifying and contextualizing threats based on business criticality.
