Vulnerability management has become more critical than ever as the global cost of cybercrime is projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. In a world where a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds, and 60% of data breaches involve unpatched vulnerabilities, businesses are facing an urgent need for integrated, continuous, and automated security solutions. SecPod’s SanerNow platform addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive vulnerability management that covers endpoints, servers, virtual machines, databases, and cloud infrastructure.
Dan K. Anderson, a CISO and vCISO, shares his perspective: “When 60% of breaches are linked to known but unpatched vulnerabilities, it’s clear that outdated, manual processes are no longer viable. Continuous, automated vulnerability management isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. SanerNow offers the agility, visibility, and automation needed to stay ahead of evolving threats and maintain a resilient security posture.”
SecPod’s SanerNow platform revolutionizes the way organizations approach vulnerability management by offering a fully integrated, automated solution. Unlike traditional tools that require multiple agents and siloed management, SanerNow combines seven critical modules into one platform—covering everything from asset management and risk prioritization to patch management and endpoint protection. This consolidation simplifies the security process and reduces the operational burden on IT teams.
The SanerNow platform’s standout feature is its real-time scanning capability, which identifies vulnerabilities in under five minutes, powered by the world’s largest security intelligence feed with over 190,000 checks. By continuously monitoring IT environments, SanerNow ensures that organizations remain compliant and protected from emerging threats. Automated patch management further strengthens this protection by deploying updates as soon as they become available, minimizing the risk of exploitation.
SecPod’s focus on ease of integration and use is reflected in the platform’s user-friendly interface, which allows IT teams to onboard and operate the system with minimal training. By enabling continuous, automated vulnerability management, SanerNow empowers organizations to maintain proactive security while reducing manual intervention.
“Whatever security posture you had yesterday is definitely not the posture you need today. SanerNow’s integrated, continuous vulnerability management platform allows organizations to automate their security processes, closing the gaps that attackers frequently exploit,” said Jagsir Singh, CEO of SecPod.
“SanerNow ensures cyber hygiene. It helps us detect and remediate vulnerabilities exactly how we need and secures our entire environment. This platform solves the problems the financial industry has been facing for a long time. I always tell my peers that if they want a peaceful night’s sleep, they should use SanerNow!” said an EVP & Head of IT Governance, Product & Technology at a leading fintech provider in the Asia Pacific region.
In Summary
SecPod’s SanerNow platform provides a unified approach to vulnerability management, combining continuous scanning, automated patch management, and real-time visibility into a single, seamless solution. With a focus on ease of use and integration, SanerNow empowers organizations to maintain a proactive, resilient security posture without the complexity of managing multiple tools.
