Crossbow  Category: Vulnerability management

The vulnerability assessment platform is one of the most realistic tools, but also one of the most dangerous, that CSO has ever reviewed. All of the attacks that it can load or create are real, using actual techniques and tactics that have historically broken through cybersecurity defenses at many organizations. Read the full review.

Cyphon  Category: Managed detection

For armored car service Dunbar, protecting its clients' money is more than just building secure physical structures and deploying armored trucks with armed guards. It’s also about protecting the digital infrastructure and cyber assets that support those operations. Cyphon was first created, to be used internally by the company to protect its assets. After that, rolling it out as service to clients easily fit into their protection-as-a-service model. Read the full review.

GreatHorn  Category: Network security

Because most email gateway appliances only scan for known bad domains or the presence of malware, “please hand me the cash”-type social engineering phishing attacks normally breeze through security. GreatHorn was designed to close that security gap, as well as lock down the rest of the mail stream.  Read the full review.

GuardiCore Centra  Category: Network security

Micro segmentation is one of the most advanced security methods that organizations can employ to protect critical assets, users, and data from both outside hackers and malicious insiders. Authorizing every process, app, user and service within a network, and what each of them can do and how they can interact, while denying everything else, is a heck of a gauntlet to throw down. The GuardiCore Centra solution eliminates much of the complexity normally associated with micro segmentation from the initial installation to ongoing program management. Read the full review.

InfoZen  Category: DevOps

For this review, InfoZen was brought in to create a fully-end-to-end DevOps scanning solution using their InfoZen Cloud and DevOps Practice service. Even within our admittedly tiny test environment, the benefits of the InfoZen toolset and automatic processes were obvious. Read the full review.

Promisec can provide that help, wrestling endpoints into compliance, automatically if desired, and keeping a watchful eye over them to ensure they stay that way. Read the full review.

RedSeal  Category: Network security

When CSO's sister site Network World conducted its firewall manager review, the original plan was to invite RedSeal to participate.
