By streamlining compliance reporting and automating mitigation like microsegmentation, companies not only reduce cyber risk but also optimize operational efficiency, freeing up resources to address strategic challenges. Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive patient data, protecting critical infrastructure, or ensuring no operational downtime for a manufacturing line, Asimily transforms complex IoT security challenges into manageable, proactive strategies that keep businesses running smoothly and securely.
What do you see differently from prevailing opinions in the field of cyber security?
For years, cybersecurity has operated under the assumption that the best way to stay secure is to patch every vulnerability as quickly as possible – a relentless “find and fix” mentality. But with the number of reported vulnerabilities skyrocketing and the average patch taking nearly two months to deploy, this approach is quickly becoming unsustainable. The real breakthrough, and a different way of thinking, is to shift from treating every vulnerability as equally urgent to focusing on risk analysis: understanding which vulnerabilities are actually likely to be exploited and which truly matter in your environment. Instead of chasing a never-ending list of CVEs and relying on generic severity scores, organizations need actionable insights that prioritize the vulnerabilities most likely to impact critical assets. This risk-based approach not only saves time and resources but also delivers real security gains-helping teams break free from the cycle of alert fatigue and move toward more strategic, resource-conscious cyber defense.
