What can your organization achieve with an offensive security platform? According to a new Forrester Consulting study, the IBM Security Randori platform delivered a 303% ROI over 3 years and paid for itself in less than 6 months by helping to mitigate risk exposure, better prioritize risk response decisions and act faster.

About the study

IBM commissioned Forrester to conduct the Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study by interviewing four clients about the value of their investments in the Randori attack surface management (ASM) and continuous automated red teaming (CART) solutions. The interviewed security leaders shared that by deploying the Randori platform, their organizations were able to detect shadow IT assets, rapidly respond to vulnerabilities like Log4j and redirect time previously spent triaging exposures to more proactive security exercises.

The June 2023 study noted: “Compared to their prior environments, interviewees reported between 50% and approximately 95% reductions in manual effort with Randori’s continuous security monitoring.”

Based on the in-depth client interviews, Forrester constructed a single composite organization that aggregated the representatives’ experiences with using the Randori platform. The composite matured its security to an ASM-focused posture in the first year with IBM Security Randori Recon and augmented its red team capabilities with IBM Security Randori Attack in the second and third years. Many quantifiable benefits were identified, including the following:

  • 90% fewer hours of vulnerability scanning per year
  • 75% labor savings from augmented red team activities
  • 30% reduction in time to triage exposures for remediation
  • 20% decrease in cyber insurance premiums

What is the vulnerability management process?

5 min read - Modern enterprise networks are vast systems of remote and on-premises endpoints, locally installed software, cloud apps, and third-party services. Every one of these assets plays a vital role in business operations—and any of them could contain vulnerabilities that threat actors can use to sow chaos. Organizations rely on the vulnerability management process to head off these cyberthreats before they strike. The vulnerability management process is a continuous process for discovering, prioritizing, and resolving security vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure. Security vulnerabilities defined…
