What is CAULDRON:

CAULDRON is a predictive, proactive, strategic tool. Predictive in that we are alerting as to how an attack could occur; proactive in that we are putting vulnerabilities in context to allow for the remediation prior to an attack occurring; strategic in that we are providing management an overall view of their environment so they may place agents/sensors in optimum position plus get more information from the data they already have.

We are not a monitoring tool. We can interface with monitoring tools to better anticipate the ramifications of a compromised node. We are not an event correlation tool. We can interface with such tools to predict the down stream effects of attacks.

We are not a Security Event Monitoring technology – however, we can integrate with them – thereby providing an overall increased security position.

CAULDRON aggregates data from multiple sources such as vulnerability testers, firewall policy rules and configuration information. The aggregation and normalization of this dissimilar data provides a foundation for a better understanding of your network and the risks for cyber attack. CAULDRON then correlates this data against the known vulnerabilities – the outside world. Using a modeling environment, CAULDRON gives strategic and tactical insights previously unavailable.

Everybody can use a map from your local gas station. However, your car’s GPS is so much more effective. Why not get a GPS system for your IT environment? Instead of looking at reports to determine vulnerability, you can see it this way:
