About The Customer

Sensato is a top-500 cybersecurity innovator based in Red Bank, New Jersey. Founded in 2013, Sensato provides risk assessments, penetration testing, 24x7 security operations, executive guidance, and integrated threat monitoring and detection software. In 2015 and 2016, Sensato was named one of the top 500 most innovative cybersecurity companies in the world. Sensato was also named 2016 Visionary Leader in Cybersecurity by Frost Sullivan. The company's Sensato-Nightingale is an integrated cybersecurity platform that combines detection, monitoring, incident response, deception technology, forensics, countermeasures, and more.

The Challenge

Sensato, a top-500 cybersecurity innovator, was facing a significant challenge in visualizing and making sense of the massive amounts of data captured during a cyber attack. The company's integrated cybersecurity platform, Sensato-Nightingale, combines detection, monitoring, incident response, deception technology, forensics, countermeasures, and more. Once an attacker is detected, Nightingale can automatically launch its Sentinel technology to monitor, track, and report on the attacker’s activities across an organization’s network and enterprise. However, the sheer volume of data generated posed a constant challenge. Ongoing analysis was critical so that strategic security experts could develop more sophisticated protection strategies. The company needed a solution that could simplify analytics and visualizations, making them easy to use and deploy across multiple platforms, and speed up time to market.

The Solution

Sensato chose the Reveal embedded analytics platform to address its data visualization challenges. Reveal is purpose-built to be embedded, making it faster for Sensato to integrate into Sensato-Nightingale. The company could install Reveal anywhere it chose—in the cloud, on the web, desktop, mobile, or on-premise. Sensato didn’t need to integrate its software with a vendor’s proprietary backend, as is required with other vendors. Reveal is also faster because it includes native toolkits for web, desktop, and mobile. This means Reveal visualizations look great on whichever platform they are displayed on, including iOS, Android, web or desktop. The drag-and-drop simplicity of Reveal and its exceptional user experience were also key factors in Sensato's decision.

Operational Impact

The integration of Reveal into Sensato's software has brought significant operational benefits. One of the key benefits is a faster time-to-market, which has been accelerated by a factor of 10x. This has been possible because Sensato's engineers didn’t need to become visualization experts, nor did they need to do all the testing of the visualization platform. They also didn’t need to think through how it will scale or worry about its reliability. The ultimate value of Reveal is that it provides an amazing user experience that is critical to Sensato's customers’ success, while affording Sensato a force multiplier that is easy to integrate, evolve and maintain.
