Company recognized as strongest in current
offering, strategy, and market presence for Digital Risk
Protection
Digital Shadows, the leader in digital risk management and
relevant threat intelligence, are delighted to acknowledge their
position as a “Leader” in Digital Risk Protection in the new
report: The Forrester New Wave™: Digital Risk Protection Q3 2018
which launched today.
Security and risk professionals face an intimidating task:
protect vital, incredibly distributed digital footprints without
direct control or ownership. It's a major challenge just to
understand an organization’s far-reaching digital ecosystem, let
alone protect it. Swarms of associated and valuable assets, apps,
accounts, and points of presence reside on digital channels and
remain susceptible to all types of attack and abuse. Even online
images of physical assets, such as private facilities or geodata,
need digital protection.*
The Forrester New Wave™: Digital Risk Protection Q3 2018 reports
that “Customers extol Digital Shadows for its robust digital risk
data and its ability to deliver on an aggressive product roadmap,
citing a new queryable deep and dark web search feature as
evidence.”
The report also cites the nine criteria in which Digital Shadows
received the highest performance rating possible, including:
- Web risk protection
- Dark web recon
- Digital risk analysis & review
- Business attribution and asset
mapping
- Dashboard and UI
- DRP breadth and depth
- Vision and execution
- Global reach and analysts
- Thought leadership and strategic
partnerships
Nick Hayes, lead Forrester analyst on the new report, said:
“Digital Shadows keeps getting closer to an all-in-one solution to
monitor and mitigate external risk exposure online. Its rich
partner ecosystem, including security technology vendors, regional
legal services, and law enforcement, adds further value for all
customers.”
One customer interviewed suggested SearchLight “was as close to
an all-in-one tool for deep and dark discovery”, which we believe
is a testament to the excellent solution the company is
running.
A second customer interviewed stated “Digital Shadows found
thousands of corporate sensitive files exposed online in just a few
months.”
“I am delighted that Forrester has recognized Digital Shadows as
a Leader and, in our opinion, the hard work our team is making to
protect enterprises around the world from the threat caused to
their security by their digital footprint,” said Alastair Paterson,
CEO, and Co-Founder, Digital Shadows. “Our customers extolled the
virtue of our SearchLight solution and how it provides real value
to them. These customer comments are very exciting.”
Since entering its eighth year in business, Digital Shadows
supports more than 200 organizations on a global basis, protecting
them from digital risks. The company now has offices in London, San
Francisco, Dallas, Singapore and Germany and employs almost 200
people. Last year it completed its Series C funding round bringing
the total to $49m invested since founders Alastair Paterson and
James Chappell set up the business.
