“I look at the newsfeed to see if any companies we do business with have had a cybersecurity incident.”

"This multinational provides a wide range of financial services. UpGuard helps prevent data breaches, by continuously scanning their own, as well as third-party vendors helps de-risk their exposure to suppliers and enables them to be proactive in managing third-party vendor risk."

"We now have an automated, robust process for validating that planned changes are made correctly. That reduces regulatory and operational risk, lowers costs, and allows us to drive continuous improvement."

"If a vendor score drops below 600, we know there is a security issue with that vendor and we work with them to remediate that."

“We have set up notifications with UpGuard, such that if a vendor drops by 5 points, we reach out to the vendor in order to fix those security issues. These are usually issues such as SSL certificates expiring or DNS issues.”

“We had basic questions regarding business processes and security controls, but wanted to go deeper to provide high-level reporting that provided clarity into the vendor.”

"We can monitor and view any vulnerabilities easily using the UpGuard dashboard, allowing us complete visibility into our security."

“We used UpGuard because it was an easily-delegated, easily-deployed product which did what we needed it to do."

"The UpGuard platform automatically identifies pockets of our exposure to 4th party vendor risk. When a major outage is announced, we know in a matter of minutes how this could affect our vendors’ ability to serve us and, in turn, our ability to serve our clients."

“UpGuard’s real-time security scoring system is beneficial. I get immediate feedback after releasing new functionality or responding to a highlighted risk. Seeing your security score go up is gratifying, almost like winning in a video game. Hence, it provides a psychological incentive to take care of the otherwise mundane task.”

"Open-Xchange uses a vulnerability scanner across the organization’s internal and external attack surfaces. While the scanner provides in-depth coverage, it doesn’t have asset discovery capabilities. It can only monitor what we know. It doesn’t have a perfect register of where every IT asset is, especially as we use dozens of …

"We can now get comprehensive vulnerability reports, tied directly to specific CIs. Because of this, we’ll also be able to drive end-to-end remediation processes within ServiceNow, and tie this directly back into other areas such as GRC.”

“We knew no one tool would be a silver bullet, but we were looking for a solution that met the majority of our requirements without too much extra customization. When we compared the tools, UpGuard came out on top.”

"Having an automated way to look at the attack surface is a great way to flag things like unmanned pages or EOL apps. It’s a low-hanging fruit to improve our security."

“We had no way of determining the overall maturity of a vendor. So we had no way of estimating and comparing security maturity between vendors when going to tender.”
