About The Customer
Visier is a technology company that provides SaaS-based workforce intelligence solutions. The company develops an analytics platform and builds applications on top of it, primarily in the business intelligence space. These applications help solve workforce planning and analysis needs. Visier also has a recently announced talent acquisition product. The company is entrusted with sensitive data and takes its protection extremely seriously. Visier's primary challenge is to understand its exposure in terms of vulnerabilities, the activity and environment, potential threats, and threat actors that may be interested in that customer data.
The Challenge
Visier, a SaaS-based workforce intelligence solutions provider, faced a significant challenge in ensuring the protection of sensitive customer data. As a company entrusted with a vast amount of sensitive data, understanding their exposure in terms of vulnerabilities, potential threats, and threat actors was of paramount importance. The company needed a solution that would not only help them understand their exposure but also provide a robust system for event correlation, detection, alerting, and investigation of potential incidents. The challenge was to find a comprehensive solution that could offer deep insights into vulnerabilities, help inform remediation plans, and provide a robust communication strategy for vulnerability management.
The Solution
Visier adopted the Rapid7 portfolio to address their security challenges. The portfolio included InsightIDR, which provided a fantastic event correlation, detection, and alerting engine, and also offered a key view into the investigation of any potential incidents. InsightVM, another tool from the Rapid7 portfolio, was used as a scan engine for their vulnerability management program. It was used in both office and data center environments to scan all of the hosts, providing deep insight into the vulnerabilities that may be exposed, and helping to inform remediation plans. AppSpider, another tool from Rapid7, offered great depth in terms of assessing applications. The integration of InsightIDR and InsightVM allowed Visier to correlate vulnerability data with various sources of event data, thus providing a comprehensive view of potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Operational Impact
  • The adoption of the Rapid7 portfolio has made Rapid7 a key security partner for Visier. The tools provided by Rapid7, such as InsightIDR, InsightVM, and AppSpider, have become integral to Visier's information security strategy. The integration of these tools has allowed Visier to have a limited number of 'panes of glass', thus making effective use of time and resources. The tools have also enabled Visier to detect problems and respond quickly, thereby enhancing their ability to protect sensitive customer data. Furthermore, the use of AppSpider has allowed Visier to detect potential vulnerabilities, bugs, or other flaws in their application before they go live, thus preventing any data risk.
