CISA Adds SecurityScorecard to Free Cybersecurity Resources for Vulnerable Critical Infrastructure Sectors

"SecurityScorecard pioneered assessments that use metrics and readings to provide organizations with a complete picture of cyber risk exposure," said Sachin Bansal, Chief Business and Legal Officer of SecurityScorecard. "As threat actors proliferate and the world grows increasingly more risk-averse, our security ratings and data provide the valuable insights needed to maintain a more resilient posture. We are pleased to work with CISA to expand access to this much needed resource."

According to the CISA website, it "applies neutral principles and criteria to add items and maintains sole and unreviewable discretion over the determination of items included. CISA does not attest to the suitability or effectiveness of these services and tools for any particular use case. CISA does not endorse any commercial product or service. Any reference to specific commercial products, processes, or services by service mark, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not constitute or imply their endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by CISA."

SecurityScorecard currently rates more than 12 million entities globally and uses non-intrusive proprietary methods to continuously monitor across 10 risk categories (e.g., network security, patching cadence, endpoint security, etc.) to instantly deliver an easy-to-understand 'A' through 'F' rating.  On a daily basis, these ratings are updated based on objective, publicly available data that, similar to credit ratings, provides an 'outside-in' view of an entity's security posture.
