First of Its Kind Product Automatically Repairs Security
Vulnerabilities at the Moment They Are Detected

SEATTLE & SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/RSAC?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#RSAClt;/agt;–Adaptiva,
a leading, global provider of endpoint management and security solutions
for enterprise customers, today launched a new endpoint compliance and
vulnerability management product, Evolve
VM™. Evolve VM harnesses Adaptiva’s industry-leading peer-to-peer
technology to automatically detect and remediate thousands of
vulnerabilities on a massive scale and at the fastest speeds possible.
The company will unveil Evolve VM at RSA
Conference 2019, being held March 4-8 at Moscone Center in San
Francisco.

Evolve VM leverages Adaptiva’s industry-leading, intelligent
peer-to-peer platform to automatically check for thousands of compliance
issues and security vulnerabilities across an enterprise’s endpoints,
diagnose any problems, and instantly fix those issues without requiring
network resources or impacting the end users. Unlike traditional
vulnerability management products which require time-consuming manual
intervention to remediate each detected issue, Evolve VM can save teams
countless hours by repairing at-risk endpoints at the exact moment it
identifies them.

“Other companies claim to remediate compliance issues and security
vulnerabilities, but sending an alert or opening a help desk ticket is
not real remediation,” said Jim Souders, CEO of Adaptiva. “When Evolve
VM detects a vulnerability, it addresses it instantly, enterprise-wide,
so that issues are resolved in seconds instead of days, weeks, or
months. This narrows the window of security exposure dramatically.”

“Evolve VM takes vulnerability management to an entirely new level,
automating every step of the process to ensure that endpoints are
compliant and secure at all times—without impacting network performance.
There is nothing like Evolve VM on the market today, and it is only
possible because of Adaptiva’s technology and long history of
distributing software and security updates for Global 1000 enterprises
for more than a decade,” continued Souders.

Evolve VM debuts as security attacks continue to rise dramatically on a
global scale. Cybercrime is currently predicted to cost $6 trillion
annually by 2021, with new threats becoming the number one pain point
for endpoint security buyers, according to Cybersecurity Ventures.ⁱ
Additionally, companies are averaging a staggering 38 days to resolve
security vulnerabilities after they have been identified.ⁱⁱ
Further compounding the problem is the fact that hiring can’t keep pace
with security risks. It is estimated that there will be a global
shortfall of 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs by 2021ⁱ, making
it impossible for IT departments to manually find and fix every endpoint
compliance and security issue.

Adaptiva Evolve VM addresses each of these issues through a fully
automated, real-time solution. It eliminates the need for intensive
manual efforts while protecting the network. With Evolve VM enterprises
can:

• Identify endpoint compliance issues and security vulnerabilities at
  scale using P2P technology.
• Automatically remediate at-risk endpoints in seconds.
• Easily adapt to new corporate policies and changing security
  conditions without coding.

Evolve VM consists of four key components:

1. Endpoint compliance and vulnerability checks: Evolve VM is
   equipped with thousands of prepackaged endpoint compliance and
   vulnerability checks that can be run on-demand or on a scheduled basis
   from the Evolve VM administrator console. These checks cover areas
   like security configuration checks; software, application, and
   operating system checks; SCAP-based guidelines; and more.
2. Real-time remediation actions: Evolve VM delivers real-time
   remediation actions that can automatically run at scale to fix
   compliance and security issues in seconds. From updating configuration
   settings to deploying a patch, Evolve VM offers dozens of remediation
   actions out-of-the-box and the ability to rapidly create new ones as
   needed without scripting.
3. Interactive Dashboard System: Evolve VM’s Interactive Dashboard
   System provides a live view of vulnerabilities and the risk level
   across an organization. Choose from dozens of interactive dashboards
   to get real-time information on which checks and remediation actions
   were run; their current status; success, failure, and repair rates;
   and trends over time.
4. Visual Workflow Designer and Engine: Evolve VM is the most
   adaptable solution on the market. Its Visual Workflow Designer and
   Engine grants teams the ability to modify or create custom compliance
   and security checks and remediation actions in seconds without writing
   a single line of code. Evolve VM administrators can use the Workflow
   Designer and Adaptiva’s built-in API creation capabilities to easily
   integrate with other third-party products for deeper customization.

“Eighty percent of attacks occur at the endpoint, and no matter how good
your security software is, you can’t take advantage of its features if
your endpoint is configured incorrectly or out of compliance,” added
Souders. “People alone can’t solve the endpoint vulnerability problem.
Evolve VM will.”
