Underutilization of security tools, lack of cross-platform intelligence, and challenges in realizing ROI from security investments are the top concerns facing security leaders today. Discern Security’s AI-powered Security Controls and Posture Assessment and Optimization platform helps CISOs and security leaders by: - Maximizing the efficacy of security investments: Fine-tuning security controls and policies to ensure optimal performance and protection. - Delivering cross-platform intelligence: By creating a cybermesh, Discern offers insights into overall security health, coverage gaps, configuration weaknesses, and user and device risks across multiple platforms. - Tailored dashboards and recommendations: Generate custom dashboards with actionable insights and strategic recommendations to improve security posture and resilience. - Comprehensive asset management: Identify, score, and remediate user and device risks throughout the organization, supported by no-code workflows that streamline asset management. - Building value narratives: Help security leaders demonstrate the value theyve added to the organization by delivering measurable security improvements, backed by key metrics and alignment with frameworks like MITRE. Discern Security automates the assessment and optimization of security controls for leading tools such as Microsoft, Google, Okta, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and SailPoint. Our platform evaluates these tools against specific risks, including functional and organizational risks, ensuring that each tool operates in alignment with the unique security challenges faced by our customers.
