“Because of the constant expansion – and resulting complexity – of modern IT environments, it has become increasingly difficult for security teams to maintain true visibility into what assets they have, what they are doing, and the cyber risks they bring,” Arsenault said. “Ordr’s platform gives customers the ability to gain full asset inventory of what’s on their network, identify and address any vulnerabilities and threats, whether they’re caused by a failure to apply patches, software end-of-life, or a newly discovered zero day exploit, and secure these assets with automated policies.”
Ordr delivers granular visibility for IT, Internet of Things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) assets and a comprehensive view of an organization’s entire attack surface, including visibility into security gaps, potential risks, anomalous behavior, and active threats. Compromised assets are automatically identified, along with the added context of where they are located and details of their operations. Ordr uses insights on assets to manage cyber exposure, rapidly respond to a cyber incident, and mitigate potential issues. Zero Trust segmentation efforts are also accelerated by automating policies that restrict assets to only essential communications required for their functions.
