Products & Services

• Fortress Platform

We help clients to augment their supply chain risk management program, mitigate and manage asset, vendor, and product risk, and get a lot more value out of their existing technology and security investments.

Most organizations want a single system that can ingest all vendors and products associated with all assets and systems. Fortress Platform provides that vehicle with unlimited vendor licensing, compliance modules, instant security & compliance ratings, automated findings lifecycle management, and the ability to view critical supplier security information stored in the Asset to Vendor Network.

Fortress Platform’s managed services execute related business processes and deliver measurable results. Orchestrate strategic risk management processes and continuously monitor a wide variety of threats to identify weaknesses in your technology footprint. Automatically rank vendors for inherent, cyber, and compliance risks. Out-of-the-box workflow capabilities support vulnerability and patch governance, file integrity assurance, and automated threat management. Streamlined dashboards provide automation of compliance and document management for a complete audit trail— every single change is tracked in the system.

• Continuous Monitoring

Continuously scan external-facing attack surface, and receive consolidated view of assets, vulnerabilities and scan health. Our security analysts and automated tools monitor everything from foreign influence to cyber hygiene to breaches and indicators of compromise. Continuous monitoring across multiple products simultaneously provides greater viability and insight into supply chain integrity and whether there are appropriate controls in place related to various cybersecurity requirements.

• Asset 2 Vendor Network (A2V)

The Asset to Vendor Network is a unique, scalable solution for achieving and maintaining regulatory requirements and managing multiple security frameworks simultaneously. This tool simplifies the seek-and-find process of managing third party security by providing instant access to security assessment documentation from a multitude of vendors. The A2V platform also provides continuous monitoring, assessment, and expertise from our security professionals.

• Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Tools and Analysis

An effectively prepared and analyzed SBOM can be invaluable in addressing critical infrastructure cybersecurity challenges, but the sheer volume of documents and data they generate create their own set of challenges. Without a mechanism to automatically process and correlate the information elements in an SBOM to other risk attributes like vulnerabilities, software integrity and authenticity, provenance and adversarial control and influence, software licensing information, and so on, SBOM lacks inherent value in the race to secure our mission critical supply chains.

Fortress actively provides SBOM solutions and insights that help to meet security and compliance objectives.
