JupiterOne's New Tool: A Reality Check for Security Measures

JupiterOne Inc. has unveiled its latest offering: Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM). This tool promises to tackle a widespread issue with security and compliance in cloud, SaaS, and hybrid systems. The core idea? Make sure your controls aren't just sitting there looking pretty, but actually doing their job.

Why CCM Matters

Security isn't just about having protocols in place. It's about knowing they're effective. JupiterOne's CCM is designed to fill a gaping hole many organizations face. Sure, you've got your controls set up, but are they really working? Let's face it, the press release might say everything's perfect, but internal Slack channels tell a different story.

JupiterOne is pitching CCM as the solution to outdated security measures that haven't kept up with the pace of cloud adoption. While companies race to the cloud, their security systems often lag miles behind. So, what happens when an organization assumes it's protected, but the reality is far from it? The repercussions can be costly, not just financially but reputationally too.

The Real Challenge

The challenge is simple yet profound: verifying that security controls are effective as systems change and grow. Management might have bought the licenses, but have they really ensured the tools are being used effectively? That's where CCM steps in. It tests these controls against real, live asset data, providing a reality check for businesses.

One has to wonder: why did it take so long for a product like this to hit the market? The gap between knowing what needs to be done and actually doing it's enormous. Organizations can't afford to be complacent about security. It's not just a checkbox exercise, folks. It's about protecting real assets, and ultimately, the business itself.

Looking Ahead

JupiterOne’s CCM could potentially change the game for businesses struggling with security inefficiencies. It's a bold move and, frankly, a necessary one. As companies continue to integrate complex cloud systems, the need for continuous monitoring isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. The employee survey said otherwise, and that's where CCM steps in to bridge the gap.

, JupiterOne's CCM is here to ensure that companies aren't just putting controls in place but are making them work. It’s about time somebody offered a tool that brings real accountability to security measures. Are your systems truly secure, or are they just a façade? With CCM, JupiterOne is challenging companies to find out.
