Aayush Gangwar

Application security engineer at a media company with 51-200 employees

Vendor risk monitoring has strengthened our security posture and reduced insurance costs

In terms of improvements, I feel SecurityScorecard could enhance some of the integrations based on AI platforms, where I could receive suggestions from the AI tool regarding why SecurityScorecard rates specific issues as critical or high. Details on the technical mitigation would help my non-technical teams understand the security issues better. I think improvements could be made on the reporting side as well, such as the ability to download customizable reports. While SecurityScorecard offers various kinds of reports now, they are limited to predefined formats. Having the ability to choose specific fields for an automated report would be very helpful.

Quarterly automated scans have strengthened our global security posture and guided faster remediation

I think their automated vulnerability scan and the scanning engine of Tenable Vulnerability Management are valuable. There are agents that you can deploy, and you can run the scans on those IPs on an automated basis. The automated scanning feature is probably the most important. They also have a good remediation workflow which can be integrated with your own internal workflow. You can do automated tracking of closure of the vulnerabilities. The ease of use, the automated scanning facility, and their good support mechanism are all valuable. If you were to get stuck somewhere, they can readily make their customer service or technical teams available to take care of our needs. Automated vulnerability scanning is the feature which makes life a little easier.
