NopSec, a Platinum Award Winner in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to announce the company’s flagship product, Unified VRM has been nominated to compete in the 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.
NopSec’s Unified VRM is an innovative vulnerability risk management solution addressing the need for better prioritization and remediation of security vulnerabilities in a single platform.
Traditional solutions prioritize vulnerabilities solely based on CVSS score and asset classification – creating data overload for remediation teams without context.
Unified VRM’s advanced E3 engine delivers a concise list of prioritized vulnerabilities by exposing the systems and applications most likely to be attacked based on external threats, exploits, malware, social media feeds, and the organization’s unique IT environment.
It offers an extensive array of task, workflow automation, and governance capabilities to improve remediation, drive security/IT team collaboration, and improve goal setting and management.

NopSec offers a new way for organizations to prioritize and remediate security vulnerabilities through automation and machine learning—drastically reducing the time to remediation.
Revolutionizing vulnerability management, the intelligent solution empowers organizations to take a smarter, more targeted approach to proactive remediation to avoid hacker attacks and costly data breaches.
Organizations must rethink their approach to remediating security vulnerabilities.
Data overload and false positives are the biggest challenges in prioritizing security risks – creating lag time between detection and remediation of critical threats.
Organizations are not able to secure the holes within their environment faster than cybercriminals can exploit them. In fact, recent NopSec research found that 82 percent of organizations think their current remediation process is broken.
Unified VRM makes reporting on current risk posture and incident status easy with rich visualizations and dashboards.

NopSec Unified VRM helps security professionals simplify their work, manage vulnerabilities effectively, and make more informed decisions.
In less than one year, customers cut their average time to remediation from 190 to under 60 days – resolving potential issues 3X faster.
Built on a cloud infrastructure, Unified VRM can be operational instantly, and the value can be realized immediately.
Its predictive analytics and machine learning models forecast the probability of exploitation so organizations can focus on the threats that pose the most critical risk to their business.
Incredibly simple wizards allow organizations to import vulnerability scan data with just a few clicks, and then the NopSec E3 Engine instantly goes to work cleansing the data (removing false positives and other irrelevant information), assigning individual threat risk scores and delivering a prioritized list of vulnerabilities.
Time to results takes mere hours, depending on the amount of data to be analyzed. Many customers report removing more than 40 percent of the results from a single scan in the way of false positives, duplicates, and other bad data.
Unified VRM then immediately translates this data into rich dashboards and task groups for remediation management—allowing security/IT teams to manage workflow (i.e., assign tickets and tasks), measure progress (i.e., report on ticket status or aging), and establish risk reduction goals across operational teams.

Unified VRM® Dashboards
Your inbox is full of must-read emails and reports from the different engineering and security teams.
But who has time to read and retain everything important?
- Unified VRM dashboards are designed to provide you with an at-a-glance update for the most important metrics related to your vulnerability management and remediation program, providing you the opportunity to recognize a trend, notice patterns, and drill into the data as needed.
- Unified VRM dashboards focus on the three key areas essential to any vulnerability management program: Risk Posture, Vulnerabilities, and Ticketing.
Risk Posture Bar Chart
The Top 10 Vulnerable Platforms and Applications chart shows assets in your infrastructure that contain the highest number of vulnerabilities and is useful to determine areas of focus in your remediation program.
- Dashboards are organized to deliver a high level overview of your environment to enable you to holistically manage your vulnerability management processes.
Malware Prone Vendors and Social Media
Display relationships between known exploits in the wild and your environment to anticipate likely breach attempts.
- Social media chatter about the vulnerabilities and cyber threats that are trending is another dimension of situational awareness to consider and just one of the many unique factors NopSec Unified VRM evaluates in threat prediction and business risk scoring.
Vulnerability Progress Trend
NopSec Unified VRM delivers a built-in metrics system designed to track vulnerability trends over time, allowing you to quickly spot the most critical threats.
- Using this dashboard, you can identify any unexpected spikes or drops in trends across your organization which is essential to determining the overall state of your vulnerability risk management program.
- Vulnerability trends can be displayed over time, by month and by quarter.
Ticket Trends
Vulnerability risk management programs are ultimately assessed on results.
- It allows you to inspect the trends and direction of the open and closed tickets over time, both from a monthly and quarterly roll up.
- As scanning occurs more frequently, the rate of open tickets and closed tickets change as new vulnerabilities are discovered and tickets are opened, and the system will automatically close tickets as they are verified in the scan process.
Analytics
Your scan is complete, NopSec Unified VRM has assembled a list of prioritized threats, complete with dashboards and reports to track progress as patches are applied and changes are made.
But the inevitable occurs – the phone rings and the server team has a question about the risk associated with a given vulnerability.
Why waste time with a static report?
Leveraging NopSec Unified VRM Analytics, you can quickly answer questions on the fly and provide the level detail needed by both an administrator as well as a program owner without disrupting the remediation process.
