Global Security Mag: What will be your news at the International Cybersecurity Forum 2022?

Vladimir Kolla: During our presence at the FIC, we will present Patrowl, our solution ofOffensive Security as a Service which continuously tests your assets exposed to the internet (applications, website, remote access, cloud, etc.), identifies vulnerabilities and proposes a remediation plan.

Patroll is an Offensive as a Service security solution to manage the Exposed Surface on the Internet of companies to anticipate cyber threats by making organizations more effective against attackers. Thanks to the hyper-automation of security controls and penetration testing, Patrowl makes it easy to identify, know and track the remediation of cyber risks.

Global Security Mag: What are the strong points of the solutions that you are going to present on this occasion?

Vladimir Kolla: Patroll allows :

§ Gain visibility of the information system / Rediscover the information system and shadow IT

§ Succeed in following security news, vulnerabilities, new attack techniques, etc.

§ Succeed in retaining talent by automating thankless or daunting tasks and only having them work on tasks with high added value / Build employee loyalty by getting rid of low added value actions such as the management of multiple vulnerability scanning tools , manual metric recovery to build dashboards…

§ Win time

§ Reduce costs or make better use of the time of its employees by saving time on consuming tasks such as the construction of a remediation plan, monitoring of continuous security updates, etc.

§ Improve reliability (human error)

§ Be exhaustive (do not forget anything)

§ Be faster than attackers and avoid security incidents

§ Prioritize your risks and focus on the real issues

Global Security Mag: Since the beginning of the year, have you noticed the rise of new cyber threats?

Vladimir Kolla: Yes, following the default blocking of macros in Microsoft’s Office tools in April 2022, cybercriminals are focusing even more than before on hacking assets exposed to the internet.

Global Security Mag: How should technologies evolve to counter these threats?

Vladimir Kolla: The constant change in information systems, the galloping cyber news and the shortage of cybersecurity talent are forcing companies to find innovative solutions. Hyper automation is one of them. It is imperative to be able both to follow the news of threats in real time and to assess the security of its IS permanently.

By automating and simplifying cybersecurity, it makes it possible to control security, know and follow the correction of cyber risks in a simple way. Thanks to automation, all companies can benefit from the right level of security.

Global Security Mag: In your opinion, what place can humans have to reinforce the defense strategy to be deployed?

Vladimir Kolla: Humans must intervene on value-added tasks and automate daunting tasks.

Global Security Mag: There has been a shortage of talent for years, what actions can cybersecurity players put in place to attract new talent?

Vladimir Kolla: The lack of cybersecurity talent stems from the lack of students in engineering school and the lack of students attracted to science subjects at school. Among the solutions to be considered should be:

• Restore the image of the IT and security professions by raising awareness and training the youngest from middle school

• Sensitize the youngest to the future needs of the field

• Communicate about companies seeking to recruit young talent in a young and dynamic work environment.

Global Security Mag: What message would you like to convey to CISOs?

Vladimir Kolla: Half of company hacks are done by assets exposed on the internet, so remember to take into account your external attack surface, exposed to the internet, which is increasingly targeted by attackers.

Simplify cybersecurity for CISOs by allowing them to focus on implementing remediation and driving corporate security policies.
