Overcoming the Limits of Enterprise GRC Systems
Organizations across all industries have invested in Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions for more than a decade, yet many still suffer security breaches, face heavy regulatory fines, and forfeit ongoing deployment costs in an effort to make GRC tools deliver functionality that was never intended.
During this on-demand webinar Telos CSO Rick Tracy, VP of Technical Solutions Hugh Barrett, and Product Specialist Michael McGehee review the GRC marketplace and discuss key drivers that are compelling organizations to adopt cyber risk and compliance management tools to augment their GRC tooling. Integrating cyber risk and compliance management functionality coupled with more traditional GRC functionality helps address what Gartner identifies as Integrated Risk Management.
In this presentation we will explore:
- Why traditional GRC platforms are not equipped to address today’s cyber risk and compliance management challenge
- Why it is important for a cyber risk and compliance management platform to support complex cloud, multi-cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments
- The value of aggregating security data for holistic cyber risk and compliance management capabilities and managing cyber hygiene
- The benefit of operationalizing complex security risk and compliance frameworks (NIST, ISO, FSSCC, HIPAA, etc.)
- The power of automating security control testing to reduce time, effort, and cost to the organization
- The advantage of automated continuous controls monitoring
- The need for an open API solution to deliver integrated risk management capabilities.
Telos’ Xacta solution has been addressing these cyber risk and compliance management challenges for over 20 years and has been meeting the needs of the US government, critical infrastructure organizations, and leading financial services organizations. Throughout this on-demand webinar you will learn why Xacta should be on the shortlist for any organization looking to achieve integrated risk management by augmenting their GRC capabilities with robust cyber risk and compliance management capabilities.
