1. Business Risk Intelligence
Bringing business focus to information risk
It’s a challenge maintaining a strong security and risk posture.
CISOs need to constantly assess new threats that are complex and unpredictable. They must prioritize and remediate gaps in the
security architecture, address evolving regulations and manage the audit process. And they must do it all without disrupting
critical business processes. But above all that... The real challenge is to achieve true alignment:
. . . between business strategies and risk management
. . . between operational priorities and security investments
. . . and between market performance and regulatory compliance
That's what Allgress Business Risk Intelligence ensures.
By offering instant, accessible and visual analysis of the risk impact of each corporate initiative, Allgress elevates the role of the CISO
to focus on minimizing risk, creating company-wide value, and
supporting business objectives.
• Allgress empowers security organizations to paint a transparent
picture of their holistic risk posture that is consistent, repeatable
and defensible.
• Allgress helps security organizations demonstrate in concise and
concrete terms the management justification for specific plans,
projects and expenditures.
• Allgress facilitates the defense of budget requirements and
expenditures; shows why they are necessary; and how they will
effectively manage risk and enable the business.
That's Allgress Business Risk Intelligence. That’s GRC re-imagined.
Business Risk Intelligence provides consistent, repeatable and
defensible metrics to ensure that the right budget is being allocated to
the right areas at the right time.
Even with sophisticated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and
Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) programs in
place, the process is mostly manual. Working with thousands of
spreadsheets and other data types is a significant effort that makes it
cumbersome to compile risk reports that show where the business is,
how it's trending, and where the gaps are. At best, risk reports are
inconsistent and incomplete, lacking all the inputs and variables. At worst, they’re inaccurate, outdated and misleading, lacking any
context. Most of all, they don't take a higher business view.
Allgress GRC re-imagined takes these processes to the next level: business risk intelligence tools help CISOs dealing with a fast-
moving business environment to break free of the usual constraints. Streamlined workflows, ease of implementation, and superior
reporting and analytics help verify and support your security programs and initiatives and demonstrate in real time the true impact
of changes on the security posture.

2. Allgress Business Risk Intelligence
Allgress Business Risk Intelligence helps companies quickly and automatically aggregate massive amounts of data—from security
and compliance assessments, vulnerability scans, ERM,
GRC, DLP and web applications and many other
sources—and turn it into meaningful, actionable risk-
specific intelligence.
Allgress BRI builds on an innovative blend of software,
services and automated processes to offer consistent,
repeatable, and defensible analyses that paint a visual
and comprehensible picture of holistic risk. Effortless
dashboards build on historical patterns, current and
trending data, and evolving compliance mandates, to
assess true business risk as it affects top-line business
performance issues and bottom-line costs.
With our flexible, easy to use tools, you can identify risk
areas that are under-exposed and reorder security
priorities to better align with the current business
environment. Trending techniques, business modeling
and what-if analyses offer a clear balance between
past, present and pending threats to the business.
Business metrics map to key performance indicators,
clearly showing how specific management initiatives
such as budget directives, product innovation, security
implementations, and other issues change the risk
picture and affect business results. You can clearly

outline the road ahead with a focus on short- and long-
term benefits, risk and loss reductions, regulatory
changes, process improvements, and more.
Allgress provides:
• ease of use. No more complicated pivot tables or macros necessary.
• flexibility and adaptability. A model that can adapt to your specific performance indicators to create a holistic picture of risk.
• risk exposure over time. Show your risk reduction over a period of time—or explain why risk has increased as a result of the
reduction of information security resources.
• what-if scenario creation. Align information security strategy with business objectives. Is there a new initiative to enter new
markets? Is security prepared to protect those investments and new customers? Are new mergers and acquisitions increasing
risk? What resources does security need to manage risk-and where should those resources be deployed?
• consistent, repeatable, defensible metrics. Based on widely-accepted standards, your methods are easy to repeat and show to
critical stakeholders through out the organization.
3. Allgress Security and Compliance Assessment
Allgress Security and Compliance Assessment helps companies simplify the audit process. A clear, straightforward workflow
process leverages common requirements to
minimize tasks while generating reports that easily
meet a range of compliance needs.
Your environment changes constantly: resources
come and go, and risk analysis methodologies get
evermore complex. That makes it difficult to
determine information security risk. But while
security assessments shouldn't need to be driven by
compliance mandates, many know it's not a choice:
Regulatory agencies and requirements state that
companies must maintain a risk program and
regularly perform risk assessments.
Added to that, regulatory compliance is not a one-
source problem: Companies must deal with
multiple government agencies and regulatory
mandates, industry requirements and standards,
with shifting changes and evolving deadlines. The
process is complex, time-consuming, and costly.
Allgress Security and Compliance Assessment
solves these issues.
Allgress provides:
• standard-to-standard mapping. Take one
Easy-to-interpret graphs are a click away. View detailed information by drilling through the data. assessment and see how it measures against
other standards, cutting the time required to
complete assessments and reusing data from
one assessment for other audits.
• operational efficiency. No more spreadsheets, just automated and continuous assessments.
• flexibility. Manage third-party business partners and create your own surveys and custom standards to ensure adherence with
your information security program and requirements.
• efficiency. Many companies already have internal and external audits and security assessments, and Allgress leverages those
efforts to generate rapid risk assessments.
• reporting and analysis. Assessment reports can be generated and customized based on organizational business units, OS
platform, or any other category that suits the business.
• workflow management. Track ISO, PCI, HIPAA, SOX, and other compliance activities with a user-centric workflow.
• standardized installations. Specific solutions for your industry—financial, health care, energy, and more—are available to get
you working even faster.
4. Allgress Vulnerability Management
The scanning technology is in place, and every key system is continuously monitored. But under the mountains of data, trends are
emerging that could detail future risk. Can you see it?
Can others see what you see?
The Allgress Vulnerability Management Module
provides a complete solution to help analyze and
interpret the vast quantities of vulnerability data in a
transparent and consistent format that helps drive
strategic business decisions.
Best-in-class graphics, combined with the powerful

key metrics for mission-critical systems. Allgress
supports a constantly evolving variety of source data
(including network, application and wireless) to
provide flexibility for your technology choices.
With this patented solution, you can sort and filter data
the way you want to see it. Allgress cuts through layers
of vulnerability scanning to summarize important tasks
and divide the work among business units. Import
multiple scan sources and instantly see a snapshot of
the threats that need to be mitigated immediately.
Move away from using spreadsheets as a reporting
engine.
Allgress Vulnerability Management integrates with
your existing infrastructure, and enables full-scale rapid
deployment in weeks-not months. Manage all aspects Trending and time-series views make it easy to see the count and severity of your vulnerability data.
of your vulnerability management from a single

so that you can prioritize the real security threats.
• an agnostic view toward scanning. Allgress supports all major scan vendors so that you're not locked into a single solution.
Allgress normalizes the inputs from multiple scanners to provide a consistent level of criticality.
• time-series comparisons for scans. View real-time progress toward mitigation of your critical issues.
5. Allgress Incident Management
Today's operational environment encompasses a staggering array of security threats, from the physical theft of backup tapes to
coordinated botnet assaults that play out over months
and are conducted by teams of sophisticated hackers
around the world. That's why it's virtually impossible to
define a set of requirements that covers every
possibility in every investigation.
By building on the right experience with the
appropriate skill sets, it is both possible and helpful to
have a centralized document collection site with built-
in information gathering templates that allow for
consistent collection of evidence and investigation data
in the aftermath of an incident. Security staffs operate
from a single repository, creating a unified approach to
incident reporting, collection, and investigation. By
prioritizing responses, tracking incidents to their
completion, and providing a way to ensure that future
practices prevent deficiencies, teams can effectively
mitigate incidents.
In capturing every incident, Allgress Incident
Management helps generate reports that show the
type and severity of issues and the organizational Simplified workflows make creation of incidents and investigation more streamlined and efficient. These

situational awareness in order to anticipate necessary
actions, and the ability to make sound and timely
decisions.
Allgress provides:
• focused response. A centralized repository collects evidence and investigation data to handle incidents and intrusions.
• an all-in-one solution. Dedicated components for incident triage, incident coordination, and incident resolution provide a
place to build a consistent methodology.
• prioritization. Manage incidents based on their overall business impact.
