What Is Automated Security Validation (ASV)?

AUTOMATED SECURITY VALIDATION

Secure your digital world with Automated Security Validation™ (ASV).

In the world of cybersecurity, your main challenge is finding real security gaps among a sea of data. You’ve often had to make assumptions because the data in your vulnerability management systems can be wrong, old, and lack context.

As IT systems evolve, addressing real vulnerabilities before they become a problem is crucial. While penetration testing is accurate, it has limitations in scalability.

Knowing your vulnerabilities empowers you to direct your resources where they matter most. That’s where Automated Security Validation (SecVal) comes in. It sheds light on your real security concerns cost-effectively. SecVal provides you, the CISO, with fresh data reflecting the true impact of threats on your business.

HOW ASV WORKS

Take a closer look at the 3 pillars of
Automated Security Validation™.

Low touch

Apply agentless security
validation anywhere. Instantly.

Continuous coverage

Use anytime, on-demand,
across your entire attack
surface, external & internal.

Real attacks

Emulate the latest tactics,
techniques, and procedures.

Why ASV Matters

Why Automated Security Validation™?

Reality

100%

Complete. Accurate. Current.

Automated Security Validation™ shows your true security efficacy across your entire environment, against real attacks, today and every day.

VS.

Partial

50%

Coverage

Traditional penetration testing typically validates only part of the environment, leaving large portions of IT assets untested.

Inaccurate

30%

False Positives

Nearly one third of scanner alerts do not reflect real, exploitable risk, creating noise instead of clarity.

Stale

1 per year

Testing Frequency

Point-in-time assessments cannot keep up with continuously changing environments and attack techniques.

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

Fix your true security gaps, quickly.

Speed up your validation-
remediation cycle

Focus on remediating
breachable and risk-bearing
weaknesses as they are
created.

Reduce your 3rd party
reliance & expenses

Test automatically, on-demand
and validate security as often as
needed, at a fixed cost.

Increase your security
team’s efficiency

Focus your attention only on
security gaps proven to be a
potential breach-point.
