NorthStar Navigator is a comprehensive platform designed to centralize and streamline risk-based vulnerability management. It addresses common challenges faced by organizations, such as fragmented information, inefficient resource allocation, persistent exposures, and the gap between vulnerability identification and patching. The platform acts as a single source of truth, consolidating all asset, exposure, and vulnerability data to ensure it is current, accurate, and complete. This consolidation helps organizations make the best use of their limited security resources by prioritizing and addressing the most critical issues that could impact key business functions. The solution maintains historical data to prevent vulnerabilities from disappearing off the radar over time and integrates exception data to provide a clear understanding of accepted and mitigated risks. It also bridges the visibility gap between vulnerability scans and patch management solutions by reconciling and enriching data from various sources, feeding this reconciled information to downstream solutions. NorthStar Navigator automatically tracks changes in exposure risk, allowing users to visualize improvements or deteriorations over time. Furthermore, it automates manual efforts involved in compiling asset and exposure information, ensuring data accuracy through scoring and analysis of gathered information quality, thereby eliminating reliance on stale data and manual processes.
