TechOwl Shield vs. Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)

TechOwl Shield is great when you need to monitor a lot of digital assets like websites, emails, and domains all in one place. It’s really helpful for spotting phishing threats or leaked info fast.

It's really challenging at times to contend with multiple vulnerabilities on a daily basis, and having a way to make sense of what actually needs to be prioritized and what can be shifted further down the task list is extremely helpful. Because the solution suggests what your next step should be in mitigating a specific vulnerability, it helps us save time and research by enabling us to immediately take action after being informed about an issue.

TechOwl Shield in itself is different in terms of what it offers as compared to others in this industry.

I wasn't here at the time when the company compared different vulnerability management platforms so I'm not sure on the reasoning and difference between the 2. It could be that the team went through different choices and found Vulcan to be the best fit. It's hard for me to say why Vulcan was specifically chosen

Incentivized

• High Initial COst
• Compliance assurance
• Improved Security Posture

• Allows much better prioritizing of which assets are most vulnerable
• Allow a better understanding of what assets are actually under real threat vs. what is assumed to be vulnerable, but the real world fact is the system would be hard to reach internally, so it's not as vulnerable.
