SecurityScorecard

CEO: Aleksandr Yampolskiy

More than half of the security breaches that happen today are the result of a third-party security issue, so tracking the overall health of the entire IT landscape has never been more critical. SecurityScorecard is one of a handful of companies looking to address this challenge with a security ratings platform. SecurityScorecard has built a SaaS-based, independent security rating platform that continuously collects security information, including malware, application and network security data, and leaked information and translates the data into a risk rating grade for an end customer. The platform can also be used to assess any security risks associated with a company's third-party vendors or acquisition targets. The company went 100 percent channel earlier this year, with the launch of its inaugural partner program in January, and has also launched a Risk Ratings Alliance for tighter integration with other security products, including governance, risk and compliance and vendor risk management vendors, as well as data service bureaus and credit ratings agencies.
