Fortress helps organizations secure their data assets both inside and outside of the firewall. Externally, we continuously monitor third-parties (vendors) to identify the weakest links and mitigate the risk. Inside the firewall, Fortress provides security monitoring and services that create a simple single pane of glass view of an organization's security risks. As breaches and data loss rise due to poor vendor security and third party risk management (think Target breach), Fortress' technology and analytics can find the weakest links, while pushing into the extended perimeter like never before. Our RIMM platform allows us to integrate with existing applications, tools, and data so clients quickly get a scalable solution that covers some of their most pressing security needs.
