Dune Security is replacing legacy phishing simulations and security awareness training tools with a unified, automated User Adaptive Risk Management platform. It delivers User Adaptive Testing, Training, and Security to reduce administrative burden and mitigate risk. Unlike one-size-fits-all SAT models, Dune tailors security measures to each individual using intrinsic data (role, tenure), behavioral insights (red team testing), and analytics from a broad range of integrations (IDAM, EDR, DLP). Dune leverages the industrys most comprehensive risk scoring system to holistically assess individual risk, enabling automated, targeted remediation for high-risk users while allowing low-risk users to stay productive. This data-driven approach enhances security efficacy, streamlines operations, and strengthens overall organizational resilience.

Avalor, now part of Zscaler, has deep roots in data. Our technical team has built multiple platforms to ingest, deduplicate, correlate, and enrich data across hundreds of sources. We applied this expertise to the security world, building the industrys first Data Fabric for Security. This platform helps companies aggregate and correlate findings and context across their full range of security and business tools to better understand and manage risk. The data model at the heart of our Data Fabric is both opinionated and flexible – opinionated to support security use cases but flexible so it can accommodate any data type, risk factors, metrics, or workflows the business needs. Our Unified Vulnerability Management module taps into that Data Fabric to provide immediate insights and workflows to reduce risk. UVM takes in both traditional vulnerability and exploitability data sources as well as contextual data spanning identity, cloud, asset, user behavior, mitigating controls, and other business context. UVM then correlates that data to provide a contextual risk score, which companies can further customize. UVM also automates sending priority action items with workflows tailored to the company’s structure and processes so teams can reduce the risk posture. With our Data Fabric and UVM application, security leaders can finally get value out of all their security tools and meaningfully reduce business risk.
