About NorthStar Navigator
NorthStar is redefining Risk-Based Vulnerability Management with simple, contextual vulnerability prioritization for easier remediation.
Common challenges NorthStar addresses are listed below:
• Prioritize issues that should be addressed first in order to make the best use of limited resources.
• Address lingering exposures that could impact critical business services, applications, and data stores.
• Bridge the visibility gap and discrepancies that exist between vulnerability assessment and patch management.
• Track reduction in risk over time and validate the most important issues are being addressed first.
• Deliver a complete view of their environment – all assets, vulnerabilities and exposures.
• Eliminate manual processes and unnecessary spreadsheet work.
