From a CISO's Perspective
-
Full visibility and prioritization: As a CISO, you need to know where your biggest risks are. With Active Focus, you get continuous asset discovery, risk-based pentesting, prioritized findings. This means you can focus your limited resources on what matters most, not chase every noisy alert.
-
Bridging offensive insight & defensive strategy: River Security effectively embeds an “offensive security mindset” (attackers’ view) into the defense strategy. That helps the security leadership think proactively. The “always-on offensive SOC + human-led testing” acts as a spear-tip to preempt threats.
-
Scalability and agility: As infrastructure grows (cloud, microservices, third-party APIs, etc.), traditional pentest cycles, which are static and periodic, become insufficient. Continuous testing and attack surface management scales better, giving the CISO agility to adapt to changes without huge periodic burdens.
-
Better risk communication: The dashboard and actionable, understandable reports help bridge the technical-to-business gap. A CISO can translate technical findings into business risk metrics to board/executive management. It is easier when you have “real risk intelligence,” not just vulnerability lists.
