DirectDefense, a leading information security services company, has announced the launch of ThreatAdvisor 3.0, its proprietary security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform. ThreatAdvisor 3.0 aims to improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of DirectDefense’s Security Operations Center (SOC) by offering continuous security monitoring and management, automating manual processes, and providing an extensive knowledge base for compliance, security events, and mitigation techniques. It is designed to be customized for each client based on their unique needs.

Jim Broome, President and CTO of DirectDefense, stated that ThreatAdvisor simplifies management, streamlines operations, and improves analyst productivity. The platform enables the SOC to detect and respond to threats faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. Broome emphasizes that ThreatAdvisor reflects DirectDefense’s commitment to delivering white glove service to their customers, ensuring that their security needs are not just met, but exceeded.

ThreatAdvisor 3.0 is built for scalability and easily integrates with other solutions, providing a single interface for threat management with enhanced data and contextual information. It collects and processes vulnerability and asset data from multiple sources to provide a holistic view of an organization’s security posture. It supports various security assessments and services such as penetration testing, operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) assessments, vulnerability management, managed detection and response (MDR), compliance assessments, and enterprise risk management.

The platform includes built-in delivery workflows and playbooks based on an extensive knowledge base. This ensures a repeatable high standard of service for DirectDefense customers while allowing customization for specific customer needs. ThreatAdvisor 3.0 is used by the internal DirectDefense SOC analyst team and also offers a customer-facing dashboard, providing visibility into remediation management and the impact of selected strategies on an organization’s tactical security.

In addition to existing compliance assessments, customers will now have access to compliance project planning to help them achieve desired levels of compliance and asset management. ThreatAdvisor 3.0 also features a compliance knowledge base, providing data collection procedures, notes, and potential evidence for each control in supported regulation frameworks. The newly launched Risk Register manages policy and risk exceptions with a multi-tiered system for tracking approvals. It categorizes and evaluates exception requests based on risk exposure and mitigating factors, incorporating higher-level approval requirements as the overall risk exposure increases.

The latest enhancements to ThreatAdvisor are already available and are included in all DirectDefense managed detection and response programs.
