Cybercriminals can exploit any vulnerability. The effects can be severe if exploited — crashing one computer or an entire network. Just one exploited vulnerability can bring devastation to a business - financial, legal and reputational.
Previously unknown software flaws - zero day vulnerabilities - pose a hidden threat to any organization, whether a large enterprise IT system or a small business network.
Lawmakers and the expanding regulatory mandates are pushing companies toward compliance with regulations by increasing penalties for data breaches and holding businesses more accountable for consumer data. Privacy and security cannot be guaranteed. Security vulnerabilities are a fact of life. The problem will never go away.
But, any organization can improve its security posture and better position itself against unknown security threats. The key is to choose a network security provider that has a unique capability to proactively research and discover unknown vulnerabilities - and then act quickly to bring timely disclosures to its clients. DDI is just such a provider.
We house a vulnerability management platform "in the cloud" - in our own secure data center. Thus, we have the benefit of a robust database of aggregate data that can be scrutinized for suspicious flaws. Our VRT continually gathers collective intelligence, monitors, researches, and analyzes to seek out previously unknown vulnerabilities.
We gather a greater level of vulnerability knowledge - and we do it more quickly - than any other provider using three methodologies:
DDI subscribes to a high standard of ethical practice. Once vulnerability is found and is determined to be previously unknown, DDI's responsibility is first to protect our clients from risk of compromise resulting from the exploitation of newly discovered vulnerabilities by unauthorized parties. We effectively communicate vulnerability information to clients, computer industry vendors, and the public so that remediation solutions can be developed quickly and effectively.
You can have ultimate trust and security as a DDI client knowing that we provide dedicated experts, and industry thought leaders. But, what is the DDI "difference"? It is many things, but can be summed up in the following:
Within very recent months, DDI's VRT has released multiple vulnerability disclosures, including those within widely used platforms such as:
