Brinqa™, a leader in Cyber Risk Management recognized in 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to announce that Brinqa Cyber Risk Services and Brinqa Vulnerability Risk Service have been nominated to compete in the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.
Brinqa’s unique platform-based approach to cyber risk management leverages Knowledge Graph technology to incorporate all relevant information into a single source of truth – with complete coverage of infrastructure, apps, containers, IoT and OT.
Superior to competitors, data from all sources is collated into an organization’s unique Cyber Risk Graph — a real-time representation of infrastructure and apps, delineation of interconnects between assets and to business services, and knowledge of overall cyber risk.
For risk analysis, the solution is the only one to combine all relevant risk criteria into an open, transparent, and adjustable risk calculation model.
Customers implement their unique risk perspectives in the prioritization process and focus on what matters most to them.
The flexibility extends to remediation where rules define automated creation and prioritization of tasks (managed internally or in an external ITSM) — dynamically grouping vulnerabilities, assigning owners and enforcing SLAs.

With Brinqa, organizations have the advantages of:
-
Understanding and measuring true cyber risk
-
Eliminating critical threats with prioritized cyber risk remediation
-
Tracking key risk and performance indicators, and monitoring historical trends
-
Providing real-time insights to all cyber risk stakeholders
Brinqa Cyber Risk Services enable these advantages through the ability to:
-
Connect all context, security and threat intel into a single knowledge source that powers cyber risk management
-
Provide an open model for prioritizing risk that sets common ground across teams for what matters and how to talk about it
-
Automate cyber risk management processes (including remediation) to achieve efficiencies required
The resulting knowledge and common language transforms conversations, as security partners with business to provide IT and development with guidance and insights on proactively remediating vulnerabilities while delivering on technology initiatives.
The solution automates many components of the risk management program – from the collection of all relevant risk data, to the building of risk knowledge, to the communication of risk to all stakeholders, and the tracking and management of remediation processes.
This optimizes the utilization of valuable cybersecurity resources for decision-making, by significantly reducing the associated overhead.
The solution continuously measures risk, and proactively informs and engages stakeholders at different stages of the cyber risk management process – reducing response times and threat exposure windows.
This ensures accountability and enables organizations to identify and address critical risks early, before they turn into costly breaches or compliance failures.
