Vulcan Cyber named a 2021 CISOs Choice Award Winner

Vulcan Cyber, developer of a cyber risk management platform for infrastructure, application and cloud security, has been recognised as a winner in this year's CISOs Choice Awards in the Vulnerability Management category.

The company's cyber risk management platform has been built to help CISOs gain control of the risk mitigation efforts post-scan. Vulcan Cyber helps integrated IT security teams work together to remediate cyber risk rather than simply identifying vulnerabilities.

All CISOs struggle to identify cyber risk and, more importantly, determine whether or not a risk is material to their organisation.  Recent research reveals that 52 percent of enterprise security executives said their organisation places only a moderate level of importance on risk-based vulnerability management, compared to 33 percent who consider it very important. Vulcan Cyber is designed to take cyber risk management a step further, focusing on facilitating proactive cyber hygiene pre-breach.

"There is a clear and widening gap between vulnerability management programs and the ability of IT security teams to actually mitigate risk facing their organisations, particularly as application and cloud vulnerabilities expand quickly," said Yaniv Bar-Dayan (pictured), CEO and co-founder, Vulcan Cyber. "With each passing day, it becomes more critical for enterprise stakeholders to make meaningful changes to their cyber hygiene efforts to address these compounding risks. Our team is incredibly proud of this recognition, as it serves as a testament to our collective goal - reducing business risk and driving proper cyber hygiene."

Chosen by a CISO board of judges that includes leading security executives across industries, the CISO Choice Awards is a buyer's guide for cybersecurity decisionmakers selecting the technologies used to safeguard their own organisations. The judges honour security vendors of all types, sizes, and maturity levels, recognising differentiated solutions valuable to the CISO and their enterprise from security solution providers worldwide.

"It was an extremely competitive playing field with a record number of submissions," said Aimee Rhodes, CEO of CISOs Connect. "It was exciting to hear the judges, who live and breathe security, share their experiences and discuss with one another the wealth of technologies that are on the market or coming to the market. Nothing can replace the real-world insights that the CISO judges bring to the table when deciding on the top vendors."
