Has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal
While Zafran Security is already a powerful tool, there are areas where it could be further improved to provide even greater value. One key area for enhancement is the searching capabilities within its vulnerabilities module. By incorporating the ability to create Boolean searches, users would gain the ability to apply more complex filters and customize their search criteria. This would greatly enhance the precision and efficiency with which security teams can identify and prioritize vulnerabilities. Having such tailored search capabilities would save time and resources by narrowing down vast lists of vulnerabilities to those that meet specific parameters relevant to our unique risk environment. Additionally, integrating more robust reporting and visualization tools would be advantageous. Enhanced dashboards that offer customizable visual representations of risk configurations and threat landscapes would facilitate better communication with stakeholders, making it easier to explain vulnerabilities and the rationale behind certain security measures. This would also aid in demonstrating the improvements and value derived from existing security investments to leadership and non-technical team members.

Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…

Advanced detections have exposed credential abuse early and stop lateral movement across environments
I found this interview absolutely fantastic. I would advise others looking into using SecureWorks Taegis VDR that it is one of the reliable solutions anyone should try, and if it yields good results, I would definitely recommend switching to SecureWorks. I recommend SecureWorks Taegis VDR because it is highly scalable by design and well-suited for mid-sized to very large enterprises, including global hybrid and cloud-heavy environments. Its cloud-native elastic architecture is built as a cloud-native SaaS platform that automatically scales compute and storage as telemetry volume increases without requiring customer-side infrastructure scaling, and it can handle bursty workloads such as incident spikes and ransomware attacks. I gave this product a rating of eight out of ten.
