Dev: Prioritized Risk Remediation & Root Cause Analysis
TTMzero needed a vulnerability management solution that would help them prioritize risk and understand risk origins. While their team had always proactively remediated vulnerabilities, they lacked a tool that would help them prioritize which vulnerabilities were the most critical to their organization and immediately understand how they were introduced.
Upwind provides TTMzero with built-in root cause analysis for every threat, issue and vulnerability finding, leveraging SDLC context to understand the exact code change and developer action that led to vulnerabilities in production. This has empowered TTMzero’s security team to streamline communication with their developers, giving them clear insights into how resources perform in production and ensure that production performance aligns with development goals.
Having this deep insight into vulnerability origins and the correlation between development efforts to runtime vulnerabilities has significantly improved collaboration between TTMzero’s teams and streamlined their building processes and remediation efforts.
Sec: Resolving Critical Security Issues 10x Faster
TTMzero’s security team wanted a tool that would give them alerts that were actionable, relevant and focused on their most pressing security concerns. Prior to using Upwind, they dealt with a sea of notifications that their team would spend time sorting through, rather than focusing on remediation efforts.
Since using Upwind, TTMzero’s security team has been able to leverage runtime insights for highly prioritized findings, empowering them to focus on resolving vulnerabilities and proactively reducing the attack surface.
Within the first several days of using Upwind, TTMzero was immediately able to leverage Upwind’s risk prioritization engine to resolve dozens of vulnerabilities by prioritizing critical risks and streamlining remediation efforts. This has empowered them to find “low-hanging fruits” and streamline compliance efforts, as well as streamlining communication with their Dev team.
Ops: Improved Infrastructure Visibility
TTMzero has extensive cloud infrastructure, and wanted a tool that would give their Ops real-time visibility into their running infrastructure and applications, as well as increasing their understanding of how resources are communicating.
Using the Upwind Topology Map, TTMzero is able to see detailed insights from layers 3, 4 and 7 and view resource communication in real time, and over time. This has not only given their team increased visibility and insights into their infrastructure, it has also helped them find any outlying misconfigurations or architectural designs that could be optimized.
Having these insights has not only impacted TTMzero’s security team, it has also influenced their Ops team and streamlined operations between the teams.
We were shocked by how useful the Upwind Topology Map is - our team could spend all day looking at it. We didn’t expect it to be this useful when looking for misconfigurations or shadow IT issues - the amount of information immediately available at our fingertips has completely changed how we approach DevSecOps.”
Summary
TTMzero leverages Upwind for their DevSecOps efforts, empowering their teams to improve infrastructure practices, streamline remediation, prioritize risks and resolve them faster. Above all, using Upwind has helped TTMzero improve organizational communication and supercharge collaboration between teams, resulting in highly prioritized, highly impactful workflows and overall improved cloud security.
Upwind has exceeded our expectations in every area of our organization and completely transformed the way we do DevSecOps. We evaluated other tools and have not seen anyone else come even close to the results we have with Upwind.”
