Protect assets and IT systems from security threats
Using its expertise and several Vulnerability and Software Asset Manager (SAM) solutions, this company provides a standardized, three-pronged approach to help chemical process operators to reduce risk by managing IT security vulnerabilities associated with software and cloud services (including the documented Spectre and Meltdown processor vulnerabilities, which are pervasive and potentially harmful, according to the company). The system helps to determine risk criticality using verified vulnerability intelligence, prioritize remediation of known vulnerabilities based on criticality, and apply patches using a conservative mitigation approach that places an emphasis on testing in controlled environments. — Flexera, Itasca, Ill.
