The 451 Group: Metasploit Pro for the enterprise
Recently leading analyst firm The 451 Group published a report titled "Rapid7 presents penetration testing to the enterprise with Metasploit Pro release". Covering the Metasploit Pro release, The 451 Group made a number of market observations:
- “We like the teaming features of Metasploit Pro and suspect that the ability to collaboratively work on testing projects will likely be an attractive enticement for large organizations with disparate follow-the-sun testing teams.”
- “…there are obvious benefits to combining both Metasploit Pro and the company's flagship Nexpose vulnerability management product…”
- “…vendors like Core and Immunity might see the penetration-testing space become very crowded, very quickly.”
Forrester: Articulating the Business Value of Information Security
Many CISOs struggle to articulate the value of their security programs and justify the security budget to business and executive management. This problem is acutely evident in the current economic downturn: Many security managers have seen their budgets slashed, their projects postponed, and their employees laid off. CISOs have always struggled to effectively communicate the value of information security to business, but now there is a lot more at stake if they don’t. Working closely with top CISOs at large, global organizations, Forrester has identified five areas of value for the business: reputation, regulation, revenue, resilience, and recession. Read this whitepaper to learn how Forrester recommends that you use all or a combination of these business value propositions to make the case for continued investment and maybe even an increase in your security spending.
