Unified vulnerability management company Nucleus Security announced that it would partner with SecurityScorecard, the global leader in cybersecurity ratings, to integrate the latter’s scoring data into the Nucleus Security platform and create a comprehensive view of company risk.
The partnership results from mutual customers between the two companies wanting the ability to ingest data for portfolio and company scorecards from their SecurityScorecard subscription directly into their Nucleus consoles.
“It’s no surprise that SecurityScorecard is among the top three integration requests from our customers. Organizations use SecurityScorecard to demonstrate that they take their security seriously, which is becoming both a competitive advantage and a necessity for compliance,” said Steve Carter, the co-founder and CEO of Nucleus Security. “The ability to import scorecards into Nucleus is a game changer for our customers, enabling them to easily incorporate scorecard security data and take advantage of the unified analysis, threat intelligence, automated workflows, and risk reporting Nucleus provides.”
The integration enhances customers’ Nucleus projects through analysis, triage, automation, and reporting. It leverages SecurityScorecard APIs and an automated connector to seamlessly sync data into those projects.
Additionally, the SecurityScorecard connector for the Nucleus platform supports importing issues involving individual company scorecards, all company scorecards within a portfolio, and all company scorecards within all portfolios.
“At SecurityScorecard, we’re committed to empowering organizations to strengthen their security posture and protect their supply chains,” said Sachin Bansal, president of SecurityScorecard. “Partnering with Nucleus Security amplifies this mission by uniting our data with Nucleus’ streamlined vulnerability management tools. Together, we’re giving users an edge– they can now monitor, assess, and remediate risk across all their security data from a single, cohesive platform.”
Utilizing hundreds of data points to measure the security posture of various-sized enterprises, providing a score to assist companies with their security and potential cyber vulnerabilities of their vendors and supply chain. Further, the scorecards identify issues and compliance gaps. Companies can then use this knowledge to proactively remediate risk.
