Criterion Systems Announces CyberScale™ Compliance and Risk Management Solution

VIENNA, Va., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Criterion Systems, Inc. announced today the upcoming availability of CyberScale™, a U.S. patent-pending cybersecurity compliance and risk management solution designed to help United States Federal Departments and Agencies (D&As) develop, deploy, and employ cybersecurity and privacy (CS&P) programs that focus on operating in cyberspace instead of just reacting to it.

While the cybersecurity threat environment is well known as a key challenge for Federal D&As, there are other, equally important issues that need to be addressed when they seek to improve and enhance their CS&P programs. These are:

• Increasing Federal CS&P-related regulatory requirements, oversight, and guidance
• The accelerating move to a risk management versus a compliance approach
• Growing resource and budget constraints

CyberScale™ Improves Cybersecurity and Privacy Program Maturity and Resilience

The CyberScale Compliance and Risk Management solution provides a unique approach for streamlining compliance and mitigating, measuring, and reporting CS&P risk at every level of an organization. It identifies and evaluates CS&P risk using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. It also determines an organization's CS&P maturity and works to manage and track cybersecurity and privacy risk mitigation and the remediation response. The benefits of such an approach include a holistic view of CS&P maturity and risk impact throughout the enterprise. These organizations can then establish a CS&P baseline to manage and track cyber risk activities, establish targets, and conduct "what if" planning to reach those targets.

"By supporting a variety of cybersecurity risk profiles and models, CyberScale saves organizations significant time and resources, while helping them to truly understand the as-is state of their CS&P programs. For example, it tracks more than 1,700 data points, delivering greater in-depth analysis than any other tool or methodology available," explained Dan Chandler, Criterion's CISO and Vice President of product development for CyberScale. "Furthermore, our solution also helps organizations build a roadmap to help them continuously improve their program maturity and resilience."

Key Features of CyberScale™

• Provides repeatable and measurable process to measure CS&P Framework Profile or risk level over time
• Applies transformative improvements to optimize CS&P programs, operations, projects, or systems
• Supports transition from a program compliance model to a risk management model while improving cyber resilience capabilities
• Provides holistic, integrated, and pragmatic approach for continuous CS&P programs, operations, projects, or system improvement and enhancement
• Identifies needed modifications to CS&P Framework Profile when new threats arise or CS&P requirements or mission/business strategy changes
