ClearArmor® Launches ClearArmor CRP(TM): The First Fully-Automated, NIST-Based Cybersecurity Program

RIEGELSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearArmor Corporation, the company that defined and automated the process of a leadership-driven, standards-based approach to cybersecurity, announces its Cybersecurity Resource Planning (CRP) solution, ClearArmor CRP. ClearArmor CRP is the first fully-automated custom-designed cybersecurity program, which implements the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework to manage cybersecurity risks.

Implementing a cybersecurity program adopting NIST guidelines has often been a challenging task due to lack of processes, methodology, and technology - until now.
Using a proprietary business process and advanced technology, ClearArmor CRP helps organizations become more efficient by eliminating time-consuming manual processes and automating them. Automation significantly minimizes cyber risk, as it lessens the possibility of human error - a major factor in data breaches.

Two key elements of ClearArmor CRP are its Momentum Methodology(TM) (M(2)(TM)) Process and Intelligent CyberSecurity Platform(TM) (ICSP(TM)) and Technology Suite.

ClearArmor's Momentum Methodology(TM) (M(2)(TM)) Process
M(2) is a business process that begins with a definition of how leadership views the organization, followed by identification of risks and vulnerabilities, and concludes with a designed organization-specific automated cybersecurity program. Business-critical areas are identified during this process, which allows the organization to direct resources and activities for effective cyber governance.

ClearArmor's Intelligent CyberSecurity Platform(TM) (ICSP(TM)) and Technology Suite
ICSP provides continuous reporting on the automated activities and program status through management dashboards. ICSP manages the automated cybersecurity program and deploys:

    --  Real-time discovery
    --  Bot-managed penetration testing (using proven military processes)
    --  Software management
    --  Whitelisting / blacklisting
    --  Real-team hash management
    --  Application mapping
    --  Port flow analysis
    --  Configuration management
    --  Patch management

ICSP establishes the baseline for the current architecture and focuses on increasing cybersecurity maturity, as defined by NIST. The baseline is then compared against the target profiles established by leadership during M2, and a roadmap is created to allow the organization to move from its existing state to the target secure state. A video of how the technology works can be found here.

ICSP deploys specialized, intelligent agents to create an inventory of the organization's IT assets. Automated agents update, monitor, and control the defined assets. This eliminates the typical time consuming manual process, increases efficiency, and maintains a system that minimizes the risk and effects of a cyberattack.

"Data breaches are an almost daily occurrence, with lawmakers and stakeholders increasingly holding senior leadership directly responsible," said Walt Szablowski, of ClearArmor. "Cybersecurity programs have traditionally been heavily reliant on tools alone. These systems are inherently flawed. The best way to approach cybersecurity is through the application of a designed, NIST-based, leadership-driven continuous program. Using our CRP, organizations can apply defined standards, processes, and a proven methodology, from the top down, to better mitigate the risks of a cyberattack. As a result, the CEO and senior leadership have the data and information they need to verify and effectively manage the organization's cybersecurity program."
