Chief Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Prevasio users desire improved automation, vendor integration, API, analysis clarity, Cisco/Oracle support, authentication, bug fixes, and dashboards.
XM Cyber should enhance mobile access, AI integration, support, visualization, tool compatibility, vulnerability detection, pricing, and advanced analytics.
We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments.
Group CISO at a insurance company with 51-200 employees
They could improve support because when we need to create a super case and escalate to resolve with technical support, they resolve our ticket in approximately two weeks.
Chief Information Security Officer at Prezero
We intend to develop closer integration between XM Cyber and the other tools that help us tackle the issue of threats and vulnerabilities across our IT estate.
Chief Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Prevasio's pricing and licensing experiences vary, with setup costs seen as reasonable but licensing viewed as high yet competitive.
We have a large, complicated estate, and in the licensing discussions, we were keen not to have the cost balloon because of the complication, the number of PCs and servers that we have.
Chief Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Prevasio automates firewall management with strong compliance tools, seamless integration, and a user-friendly dashboard for diverse environments.
XM Cyber enhances security by simulating attacks, assessing risks, identifying vulnerabilities, and optimizing asset protection with metrics and cost savings.
By far, the best feature of XM Cyber is being able to map out the way vulnerabilities can be exploited based on what they call the choke points in the network where the path that a bad actor would take comes closest to assets within our environment that are most vulnerable but also most valuable.
Chief Information Security Officer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Our loss exposure amount has reduced significantly, leading to two big wins: our loss exposure amount has gone down, and we have direct savings from focusing our team's time on what's important, allowing them to work on other business benefits and generate value for the company.
Group CISO at a insurance company with 51-200 employees
XM Cyber allows us to quantify the risk, and we are able to track remediation, so we can quantify the risk at an executive level and also to a technical IT team.

Juan Tolosa - PeerSpot reviewer
Production Manager at Assertiva S.A.
Automation helps reduce human error, and platform suggests the best configuration to apply
The optimizations are the most useful aspect because most customers have a very unmanaged network with a lot of rules. We use a lot of the optimizations in our reports for improving firewall rules. It also provides our clients with full visibility into the risks involved in firewall change requests and that is very important because our clients are often banks that must be in compliance with PCI. And when it comes to preparing for audits and ensuring that firewalls are in compliance, the solution is very useful. We are able to do it very fast. We can do a lot of iterations and get better policy rules all the time. Although not many of our clients are migrating to the cloud, for those that are, AlgoSec is useful. The part of the process that takes a long time is the human part. We must have gap committees and approvals that take a long time. But the integration itself is very easy with AlgoSec. We have all the information in our hands about the traffic we must enable on the cloud and for making new rules. All that is automated.
Stephen Owen - PeerSpot reviewer
Group CISO at a insurance company with 51-200 employees
Has significantly improved risk visibility and optimized remediation efforts across dynamic environments
We tightly integrate with APIs, consuming feeds and open source data. We have integrated with XM Cyber, and we are elevating ourselves with AI and MCP tools as we view this as a forerunner to reducing the workload for our agents and IT staff. We're pushing all our security partners to provide AI and MCP tools. Our vision is for them to offer a chat interface where a junior IT or an experienced infrastructure engineer can ask for what needs to be patched next without using an interface. Their current interface is very usable and professional, ranking in the top tier of applications. Their reporting is good, offering custom reports, and their API integration is a new capability that serves us well. We have high expectations for the next generation, such as a chat interface to ask questions. However, everything has been very good. We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments. I would like access to that and querying languages, enabling more informed business decisions. XM Cyber sees much of our estate, which is beneficial for making informed decisions, and we can harness those insights and data for business analytics. For instance, it could help us gain insights into change management—if a particular server impacts another and that server is supported by yet another server, we could glean significant insights for change management meetings.
