Description

The dynamic threat environment has made it difficult for enterprises to continuously validate whether their infrastructure and security controls remain effective. This is because traditional assessment methods, such as annual penetration tests, compliance audits, and vulnerability scanning, were not designed to address identity sprawl, threat complexity, or rapidly expanding attack surfaces. Automated security validation (ASV) has emerged as the solution to address this gap by enabling continuous testing and validation of an enterprise’s security controls in this ever-evolving environment. The ASV market is shaped by four subsegments: breach and attack simulation, automated penetration testing, red teaming automated platforms, and continuous exposure management. While these categories initially emerged independently, solutions share a common objective of continuously validating cyber readiness through automated and contextualized techniques and are increasingly converging into a unified ASV framework. This analysis benchmarks nine ASV vendors across 10 Growth and Innovation criteria to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. The publication presents competitive profiles of each company, considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
