The offering provides a persistent, automated view of surface area risks and comparisons with peer companies through a cloud-based platform. With WatchTower, Columbus Collaboratory offers an affordable service to companies that to this point had been largely underserved by mainstream vulnerability management solutions.
This offering includes both a tool to deliver quick and understandable visibility into cyberrisk, as well as Columbus Collaboratory's professional services that help organizations create a strategy around vulnerabilities, interpret scan results and determine the appropriate response to known and new risks as they are discovered. And with those members' investment, testing and support, Columbus Collaboratory is making available its new WatchTower service. Leveraging the Collaboratory's unique model, the company's seven founding members – American Electric Power, Battelle, Cardinal Health, LBrands, Huntington Bancshares, Nationwide Insurance and OhioHealth – collaborated together to share know-how and best practices around vulnerability management, and the importance of an up-to-date view of their internal and internet-facing network surface area. WatchTower was a direct result of Columbus Collaboratory's unique embrace of collaboration in defining and creating new security and analytics solutions.
As an affordable, practical and unique vulnerability management subscription service, WatchTower identifies and manages cybersecurity risk. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Columbus Collaboratory, a rapid innovation company founded by leading companies in seven different industries that delivers business value through advanced analytics and cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of WatchTower™.
