At the recent BlackHat event, a focus on cyber innovation was paramount, with particular attention on cyber resilience, artificial intelligence, and compliance. Lalit Ahluwalia, the Founder and CEO of DigitalXForce, along with team members like Desiree Wilson, presented their approach to addressing the issue of “Compliance IS NOT EQUAL to Security.” Despite companies following regulations, breaches like those at First American Financial Corp, Equifax, Capital One, and Change Healthcare continue to occur, affecting millions of individuals.
The traditional methods of Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC) have been found lacking due to their manual, time-consuming nature and reliance on fabricated or dated artifacts. These methods tend to be more qualitative and focused on ticking boxes rather than providing a quantifiable assessment of risks. As a result, companies struggle to demonstrate Cybersecurity ROI, leading to cybersecurity incidents despite apparent compliance.
DigitalXForce has introduced a unified SaaS platform designed to offer real-time, continuous, and automated integrated risk management and quantification. By leveraging technologies like digital asset discovery and Attack Surface Mapping, along with direct connections to commonly used cybersecurity tools, DigitalXForce aims to provide a more holistic approach to cybersecurity effectiveness. Partners like PwC Canada have commended the platform for its comprehensive capabilities and value-added services.
The roadmap for DigitalXForce includes developing a “Digital Trust for the New Era” SaaS platform that focuses on providing real-time, continuous, and automated GRC through a Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture. This approach involves the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automation techniques to enhance risk management and compliance processes. Features like Attack Surface Management, Asset Inventory, Security Blueprint, and Unified Security Control/Compliance Baselines are being developed to simplify compliance requirements and improve security posture management.
One of the key distinguishing factors of DigitalXForce is its ability to perform real-time and continuous security control testing through direct integrations with security tools, providing a live view of the security posture. This unique approach sets it apart from other platforms that rely on manual evidence loading. The platform’s Security Blueprint feature has been highlighted as a valuable tool in measuring security posture and visibility.
DigitalXForce offers a range of solutions like attack surface management, risk quantification, automated audit, compliance, and more, empowering organizations to enhance their security posture and make the most of their investments in digital transformation. Through a Trust but Verify approach to Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), DigitalXForce aims to provide a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to improve their cybersecurity defenses.
As organizations continue to face evolving cyber threats, platforms like DigitalXForce play a crucial role in helping them adapt and strengthen their security posture. With a focus on automation, real-time insights, and comprehensive risk management, DigitalXForce is positioned to be a leader in the field of cybersecurity solutions.
