Automate Solving the Most Common Cloud-Based Cybersecurity Needs with Fletch

Reading time: 3 min

Having creative security professionals stuck doing data plumbing work is like having a racecar driver teach driver’s ed. 

Cybersecurity is hugely in-demand, expensive work and a massively understaffed industry - and 80% of security teams’ time constitutes data plumbing, which is essentially data entry in a higher tax bracket. These operations are inefficient and unsustainable, especially when security teams are meant to defend everything and attackers only need one way in. 

After spending a lot of time with some of the most sophisticated security teams out there, Fletch’s co-founders came up with three key observations: 
 

        (1) Security costs a fortune, but it shouldn’t - because everybody needs it.
 

        (2) Most of the brightest teams are bogged down by data plumbing, exacerbating vulnerabilities. 
 

        (3) Tools should be intelligent - not just for aggregating data to larger data swamps.
 

If we solve those three things, most cybersecurity problems will disappear. 

After upwards of 10 years of research and real-life practice, Grant Wernick, CEO at Fletch, and Darien Kindlund, VP of Technology at Fletch, set out to develop a product that automates solving the most common cloud-based cybersecurity needs.

Fletch is affordable, turn-key, and understandable by all. 

 

With Fletch, you can... 

 

Automate detecting insider threats

On average, companies spend $644,582 to resolve an insider threat incident. The term “insider threat” is often visualized as a malicious employee. In reality, 95% of security breaches are caused by human error and are usually the result of poor security practices and hygiene, such as falling for a phishing email, clicking on a bad link laced with malware, or not using multi-factor authentication. 

70% of all cyberattacks use a combination of hacking and phishing scams - that people tend to fall for. Scoping out potentially compromised accounts is inherently tricky and becomes even more complex as businesses move to the cloud and divide up their infrastructures. 

Existing tools on the market punt many false positives, causing many security professionals to take the minimal approach to sift through them as a means to avoid burn-out, and protection falls short of what most firms need. 

Fletch instantaneously lets you know which accounts appear risky across your Cloud and SaaS applications, filters out the noise, gives you full context, who is involved, and what to do next - on a user-friendly and intuitive platform. 

 

Automate monitoring cloud controls 

As most companies transition to cloud infrastructures, they adopt the zero-trust model, which requires adaptive controls. These are hard for teams to come to grips with, especially if they’re using traditional models to defend the organization. 

Fletch allows you to automatically gain complete visibility into your cloud environment with no data plumbing required. Fletch simplifies monitoring cloud controls by providing daily insights, like whether or not multifactor authentication is enabled for all users, so you can understand where you have gaps and implement best practices to mitigate breaches. 

 

Automate evaluating the impact of emerging threats 

Ever wonder if it’s possible to quickly triangulate the news with the vulnerabilities and endpoints across your environment? 

Well, now it is.

As new cybersecurity threats are reported daily, Fletch lets you know exactly where you stand - what is vulnerable, what has been impacted, to what extent, and what you should do next. It’s like reading the headlines in the context of your company.

Fletch alleviates the high degree of context and task switching involved when major breaches hit the news, and business executives are worried. 

No more going through laborious threat feeds that take your team hours to go through and figure out what actually matters. Fletch gives you peace of mind by triangulating major cyber threats with your vulnerability scanners, endpoint products, and your environment to figure out if you’ve been exposed, evaluate the impact if a bad actor has gotten in, and if so, what actions to take.
