Company
Mission
At Inside-Out Defense, we’re on a mission to protect organizations against access abuse, which is the number one hacker threat vector. After years of building scalable enterprise software and cybersecurity products at RSA, EMC, IBM & Microsoft, we are taking a different approach to security. We aren’t building yet another security product that slows your organization down with thousands of unnecessary alerts.
Solution
The Inside-Out Defense solution offers proactive, real-time, and automated intervention against access abuse hacking. In addition, Inside-Out Defense holistically addresses deficiencies in access and privilege management, solving a critical set of problems for security teams. Our solution automates the management & maintenance of access rights across an organization and includes advanced reporting and monitoring capabilities. These tools within the Inside-Out Defense solution enable security teams to save thousands of man-hours preparing for and addressing the results of labor-intensive security audits.
The WHY
Effectively managing an organization’s access entitlements without an automated solution is time-consuming and error-prone, leaving the door open to hackers. This is why access abuse is the number one threat vector for hackers. Inside-Out Defense’s proactive, real-time, and automated hacking intervention solution is built around an access governance platform built for Continuous Validation of Trust. We make it possible to closely monitor and manage access privileges in real-time across all of your environments including cloud, hybrid, and legacy deployments.
