Frequently Asked Questions

You have the questions - we have the answers.

Risk Management

What is Cyber Risk Management?

With Cyber Risk Management, risks are identified, analyzed and prioritized. Based on this data, appropriate measures can be set, see e.g. NIST Risk Management Framework. The management level keeps an eye on the company's / department's goals, allocates resources and guides activities to keep the cyber risk under control.

Does SEQiFY / Risk Management offer protection against cyber attacks?

Cyber attacks can be minimized or prevented if you take action in time.  SEQiFY identifies threat and risky devices / operating systems at an early stage automatically – based on this live data, management can initiate measures timely and accurate.

You are using two connectors to VMware and Proofpoint with SEQiFY, the number of licences required results in this example from

100 devices for VMware +
50 users for Proofpoint =
150 licences required for SEQiFY
