Atos unveils SIVO to tackle security gaps and technical debt

Global technology company, Atos, has recently added a Security Investment Validation and Optimisation (SIVO) service to its Security Advisory Portfolio in the UK&I.

SIVO is said to help organisations audit the coverage of their cybersecurity tools – to ensure that they are deployed efficiently and cost-effectively – while also providing the necessary cyber-protection.

Many businesses rely on a patchwork of security tools from multiple vendors.

This can leave CISOs with limited visibility into their overall security posture – and it is this fragmentation that makes it harder to detect threats, manage costs and close gaps.

The result can often be overlapping investments in some areas, while critical risks remain exposed.

“One of the key challenges facing a modern CISO is that they don’t have an easy way of navigating the operational and financial challenges posed by a layered, multi-vendor approach to security,” explained Terry Bebbington, Head of Cyber, Atos UK&I.

“They are simultaneously time-poor, tackling increasing costs that they need to justify and under pressure to adopt new technologies to battle new threats.”   

“Helps to remove technical security debt”

SIVO from Atos provides security leaders with a rationalised threat-led view of security tooling.

The goal is to give these leaders the assurance that their security tooling is deployed in an efficient and cost-effective manner, highlighting gaps in threat coverage and potential cost-saving opportunities.

“SIVO helps to remove technical security debt, unlocking additional budget and enabling CISOs to justify new spending, without risking their defences,” added Bebbington.

Atos’ new SIVO service is available now. To find out more information, visit: atos.net/en/
