Unified risk scoring has improved our cloud visibility and simplifies remediation priorities
Qualys TotalCloud provides unified vulnerability and threat assessment across both IAS and SaaS. This solution provides a single prioritized view of risk, which helps reduce the work I would have to do. We are no longer based on CVSS; we are based on Qualys risk scoring, which is based on CVSS plus internal findings made by Qualys, and then assigns its own score. The TruRisk insight feature has found a small number of assets with high vulnerability scores, though I am cautious since some information is classified. Qualys TotalCloud has positively impacted our bank's performance, and we have definitely seen benefits after implementing this solution.

Compliance automation has transformed audits and now frees teams to focus on healthcare innovation
I would say that not too much can be improved, but definitely a few things can enhance Sprinto and that will have a good impact on the upcoming customers or the clients that are going to opt Sprinto as their choice. One of the sectors could be the reporting side. Although it has a good reporting platform, I still feel that daily tracking or some complex level of reports we need to share with the leadership team. In that case, we can enhance the reporting and its UI look and feel a little bit more. On a usability side, sometimes occasionally if something weird is happening on the cloud services or on the network side, it may send us an alert, then we get to know that it may be a kind of false or ghost alert. Then we need to check out with the service cloud provider as there might be some glitch or delay. A more robust retry logic mechanism that automatically refreshes its functioning can help a little bit more. Although it is working well for the Windows and Mac OS users on a very mature level, things can still be enhanced for the Linux or mobile support users, just to diversify the engineering over there.

Data governance has strengthened and automation now reduces risk and manual compliance work
Varonis Platform offers key features including data discovery, data classification, data analysis, governance, user and entity behavior analysis, also known as UEBA, which helps in ransomware detection, insider threat detection, and compliance reporting. It does a lot of automation from a remediation standpoint, as well as investigation and forensics. The number one feature that makes the biggest difference for my clients is visibility into unstructured data; that is the most difficult for organizations to achieve. They do not have a good understanding of where sensitive data resides, who has access to this data, whether this access is appropriate, and how data is being used. Varonis Platform provides visibility, governance, threat detection, and automated remediation around data. Varonis Platform is a great data discovery platform that provides visibility into sensitive data estimates and how it is being used. Clients have been able to reduce excessive permissions, strengthen their compliance posture, detect insider threats, and ransomware activity, which would otherwise be difficult and manual. Varonis Platform is deployed in my clients' organizations in a combination of all types. Many clients use Varonis Platform in a largely SaaS-based model since it is a data security platform consumed in this way, and many organizations still operate hybrid environments. As far as Varonis Platform is in a position to get the data source and identify systems, it can discover and classify more secure data. Deployment in most of our clients is cloud-based, connecting to Microsoft 365, AWS, or other SaaS applications such as Salesforce. In other environments, it is a hybrid deployment with SaaS and on-premises, including file servers, NAS devices, and AD servers.
