About Secutor

SSVM is the Secutor Signature Vulnerability Management System. The Secutor Signature Vulnerability Management (SSVM) system is a comprehensive solution that serves as the solid foundation upon which all other Cybersecurity is built. Successful vulnerability management can automatically, accurately and consistently prioritize vulnerabilities based on multiple criteria, along with its integration into the organization’s daily work process.

TVM is Threat & Vulnerability Management. Specifically, it’s the process of analyzing an organization’s ability to identify, react, and mitigate threats and vulnerabilities. We help our customers by starting with a threat modeling exercise – we sit down and understand the business and how business and therefore technology decisions create weaknesses in the security architecture. We then determine what tools and techniques our clients use to address and mitigate those threats.

The earlier in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) that we catch a threat or a vulnerability, the less burden and expense it is on an organization. For example, if we can help our clients eliminate an entire class of vulnerabilities by designing mechanisms to prevent SQLi attacks without having to address every single validation point in either a web application or mobile application- that’s a big win.

The reason is that whenever new SQL injection vulnerabilities are found, Software Engineers react and go fix those specific problems. That means that they must write code, peer review it, perform regression testing (ie, make sure it doesn’t break existing functionality), quality assurance test it (make sure it fixes the problem), move the code into staging and then into production.

You can see why it is so important to catch a vulnerability in the early stages. But because most organizations don’t do much threat profiling, we tend to see a lot of issues caused either directly or indirectly by information technology processes like: server build and configuration processes, database implementation, application development, patching, disaster recovery, change management, and “desktop” support.

We are a provider of Threat & Vulnerability Management services. Namely: Vulnerability Management, TVM Program Analysis, VM MSSP, and Patch & Remediation Effectiveness. We also provide proactive work such as Application and Network penetration tests.

We have decades of experience in the areas we focus on in information security, and where other cybersecurity consultants outsource their work to cheaper, less experienced talent, we use the same experts from client in-take to the end of the engagement.

At the time Secutor was founded, many organizations had Vulnerability Management programs. We found that many companies did VM well but they did not have a comprehensive approach to TVM – which includes a more broad approach to Threat & Vulnerability Management. Plus, many companies had (and still have) a silo approach to security. Secutor works with our clients to integrate multiple parts of the business together to more effective address data security threats.
