Infrastructure Reslience
|
Breaches are the symptom. Misconfigurations are the cause. More than 8 out of 10 incidents are caused by hard-to-spot misconfigurations. UpGuard's next-gen configuration management platform prevents outages and breaches. We call it cyber resilience.
What is cyber resilience? The 10-second version is this: Cyber resilience is a fundamental change in understanding and accepting the true relationship between technology and risk. IT risk (or cyber risk, if you prefer) is actually business risk, and always has been. And the cybersecurity industry, for what it's worth, has generally avoided this concept because it goes against the narrative that their respective offerings—whether it's a firewall, IDS, monitoring tool, or otherwise—would be the one-size-fits-all silver bullet that can keep businesses safe. |

UpGuard Solutions for Any Organization
|
Visibility - UpGuard helps organizations around the world gain visibility into their technology and how it changes over time.
Processes - Simply having technology at your disposal isn't enough to run your organization -- processes must control how these technologies and assets operate. Risk - Every organization is a digital organization, and understanding cyber risk is a vital part of understanding the overall risk of your organization. |
Visibility
Configuration Drift - While colleagues often have the best intentions, occasionally a package gets upgraded without being recorded. Or a new piece of software is installed here but not there. Or a hotfix was applied on exactly 1 out of 800 machines. Or someone changed a few network configs last week and no one remembered to revert. Whatever the case, drift has been known to occur in even the best-kept environments. UpGuard detects change and flags it, ending configuration drift.
|
Baseline Discovery - When setting out on the path to cyber resilience, how do you know where to begin? How do you know what "good" looks like? UpGuard takes stock of your entire infrastructure and how it's configured to give you a complete picture of not only what exists, but what it's doing and why. Just like your initial weigh-in before a diet, creating a baseline is the only way to know if you're improving or just spinning your wheels.
|
Processes
Change Detection - Over 80% of data breaches and outage events have their root in misconfigurations on behalf of the company. UpGuard's continuous change monitoring allows organizations to act on misconfigurations before they become bigger problems. Unauthorized change events can be instantly piped into ServiceNow, JIRA, Slack, or any number of other platforms depending on your needs.
|
Full-Auto DevOps - The most attractive promise of DevOps is a marked increase in speed of software delivery, which is accomplished through the automation of a number of processes and technologies. UpGuard integrates closely with Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and other platforms to provide a reliable guardrail for automation that can generate corrective controls and validate the configurations of entire infrastructures pre- and post-deploy.
|
Risk
Understand Your Risk - Cyber risk is business risk. Whether your organization was founded 100 years ago or 100 minutes ago, reliance on technology in order to do business has become, and most likely will remain, a universal constant. UpGuard is the only platform that takes the actual, live, running state of all of your devices into account when providing an easy-to-understand risk score we call CSTAR.
|
Third-Party Risk - Anytime you trust a third-party with sensitive data—whether it's customer data, employee data, or any other type of confidential internal data—when third-party vendors touch it, their risk becomes your risk. Your vendor being breached and leaking your customers' data is never seen as their breach—it's yours. Take ownership of the situation and monitor the risk of associated entities using UpGuard's CSTAR.

CSTAR Enterprise
Translating cyber risk into what it really is—business risk—is a task that has historically not been easy. Using the wealth of data UpGuard captures about an infrastructure and its configurations, UpGuard's CSTAR score gives accurate and comprehensive insight into the overall state of your organization's infrastructure.
In examining many platform-agnostic risk factors, policy compliance statistics, and other leading risk indicators, an organization's CSTAR score and associated dashboard make the journey to business-wide cyber resilience possible.

CSTAR for Google Chrome™ Extension - Just as credit scores aggregate financial risk factors into one easy to understand number, UpGuard’s CSTAR score provides a single measure of risk for information security. CSTAR is a comprehensive assessment of internal and external systems, measuring compliance, security, threat, agility, and risk. The extension sweeps the internet for publicly exposed assets and tests them for resilience. For any site you visit, UpGuard automatically retrieves the external CSTAR score. Each of the risk factors is weighted by its severity within the context of its business factors, and a final score between 0 and 950 is calculated. For websites with a low CSTAR score, the extension will warn users about inputting their personal details into the site.
