BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CyberSaint, the developer of the leading platform for automated, intelligent cybersecurity program management, announced it has been designated as a Gartner Cool Vendor in the October 2020 “Cool Vendors in Cyber & IT Risk Management” report.
According to Gartner, “GRC technologies are being challenged by new demands from several digital-business-related factors such as managing framework-based controls across multiple standards or regulations in an automated fashion, addressing value-fit-for-purpose technology investment and discovering hidden IT assets due to the rapid adoptions of digital channels”. Security and risk management leaders are encouraged to evolve their risk management practices to address these gaps. The CyberStrong platform addresses many of the gaps that security and risk leaders face in an increasingly complex digital world.
CyberSaint’s CyberStrong platform delivers patented Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) technology that set the platform apart. Hundreds of companies from high-growth startups to Fortune 50 industry titans use CyberStrong to manage, measure and communicate their cybersecurity program performance in line with both risk and compliance initiatives as well as organizational objectives. CyberSaint is hosting a webinar, “Why We’re Cool: Gartner Cool Vendors in Cyber & IT Risk Management Q4 2020” which dives into the technology and writeup in greater detail.
Key findings from the report:
- The COVID-19 pandemic continues to place significant pressure on organizations by putting new demands on their operational risk and resilience management.
- Fast-tracking digital business transformations demands risk management domains to evolve to better support the speed of risk assessment and the scale of distributed decision-making processes.
- More established risk management technology vendors are no longer adequate in areas where detect, analyze, respond, and report capabilities to converge seamlessly. They are no longer focused on the total cost of ownership (TCO), nor are keen on covering capability gaps resulting from businesses undergoing digital transformation or simply coping with environmental factors.
Gartner’s report provides recommendations for security and risk management leaders responsible for technology, information, and resilience risk:
- Investigate your current technology stack to identify ideal targets for risk management automation; and evaluate innovative technology to better support your digital business risk management strategies.
- Balance investment between technologies supporting narrower and more specific use cases and those supporting broader enterprise-wide deployment to fast-track targeted automation areas.
- Ensure user acceptance and manage trade-offs if you plan to replace or phase out a more established vendor with a set of smaller vendors.

“Making informed risk decisions in cyber involves people, process, and technology. Automation, if done properly, can radically improve the longstanding issue of too much information living in too many silos, which historically produces exhaustion and the neglect of valuable information. Getting the valuable telemetry that enterprise companies generate into control environments in an automated manner has long been a goal for security teams everywhere" said Padraic O'Reilly, Chief Product Officer at CyberSaint
