Threat intelligence is a critical aspect of cybersecurity. How does Pvotal approach proactively identifying and assessing potential threats in today’s rapidly evolving landscape ?
We started by recognizing that we cannot be reactive to threat actors and trying to defend against each type of potential threat. It is futile to try to anticipate how nation-state actors like Russia, Iran, and North Korea will act or how private groups may attack our systems.
We developed a proactive methodology similar to that of Google, Netflix, or Uber. In our version of Zero Trust Methodology, we created our own privilege engine and network isolation protocols. We are able to minimize the potential attack surface and shift key processes and infrastructure to be accessible only to core automated services. We use secure runtimes like restricted Golang and Rust binaries within containerized images and automate our deployment to eliminate human intervention and the potential for human error. Our core services have no third-party code, service, or API, giving us unparalleled flexibility to iterate, ideate, and price our services competitively.
By significantly reducing the potential surface attack vectors, we can skip on expensive, tedious, low-performing identification or assessment libraries that often fail to yield significant results in shielding businesses from the rapidly evolving threat landscape: we limit the potential for initial exposure and post-exploitation phases. Our skeptical approach of “never trust, always verify” allows us to successfully enhance our security posture and minimize the risk of lateral movement in the unlikely event of a significant breach.
We further decouple infrastructure components through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to enable rapid patching cycles, automated library updates, and reduced human activity within fast deployment cycles. We can push thousands of daily updates without downtime or impacting our clients, services, or usability.
Pvotal aims to offer enterprises scalability without limits. How do your solutions ensure that businesses can grow and adapt without compromising on security or efficiency?
Our primary product – Infrastream – aims to aid companies in their digital transformation journey and convert their stack into a mature IaC platform that defers all security concerns, reduces common issues with cloud development, and helps benefit from sweeping changes across their operational pipeline: we automate most of their operations, provide internal analytics and logging services so they don’t have to constantly exfil or provide access to consumer data to third parties, and we reduce their reliance on third parties so they can avoid recurring costs that scale with their growth.
Most importantly, our clients immediately gain a five-year-old mature engine that can help them be immune to a wide range of standard hacking tools and methodologies. This redirects their concerns about auditing, compliance, data governance, privacy, and security: we help them focus on their product and the value they bring to their clients rather than the mundane operational challenges that can be distracting or disastrous if done incorrectly.
