“Every year, our judging panel finds it increasingly difficult to whittle down the list of applicants and 2018 was no exception,” said Kim Kay, editor-in-chief of IoT Innovator. “We are pleased to name RiskSense a Gold winner in the IoT Software Security category for its intelligence-driven approach to protecting IoT at scale across the extended enterprise.”

“The IoT Innovator Gold award for security software validates our unique intelligence and analytics-based approach to vulnerability prioritization and management,” said Jill Kyte, vice president of marketing for RiskSense. “The wide-scale adoption of IoT and industrial IoT devices is exponentially expanding enterprise attack surfaces. RiskSense provides the automation and visibility needed to remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.”

RiskSense pioneered an intelligence-driven approach that takes an “attacker’s view” to examine the entire attack surface, including the network, endpoints, applications, cloud services, mobile devices, IoT and IIoT. The RiskSense platform applies human-interactive AI and machine learning to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts. It automates risk assessments for IoT ecosystems, including:

• Microservices and containers
• Smart logistic systems, smart vending machines
• Irrigation systems, traffic guidance systems
• Healthcare systems, pacemakers, blood pressure monitors, smart devices
• Internet-connected physical access control systems, mobile keyless entry
• Security systems such as video recorders
• Industrial control systems, including electrical grid distribution control systems
• Self-driving car technology and automotive control systems
