Yes, and yes!

The Cavelo platform leverages data insights and visibility so MSPs can better understand their customer's sensitive data environment: how that data is being stored, where it lives, and what's at risk. MSPs can use this contextual information to help their customers make decisions about the best way to manage and protect their sensitive data.

Yes, there is a difference. Vulnerabilities are specific weaknesses or flaws that could be exploited, while risk is the broader concept that encompasses the likelihood and impact of those vulnerabilities being exploited by threats.

CVSS scores come from a standardized framework for assessing and communicating the severity of security vulnerabilities. In short, CVSS scores help security professionals prioritize and address vulnerabilities based on the severity they pose to systems and data.

Implementing IAM roles helps minimize the potential damage from accidental or malicious actions. By using IAM roles, you can enforce stronger security measures while maintaining flexibility and scalability in managing access to resources.

We suggest taking a self-guided product tour and then scheduling a demo so we can discuss your specific data security needs before deploying a trial.

Cavelo helps consolidate multiple tools into one, so your business can save money and become more operationaly efficient while eliminating redundant tools in your tech stack.

Risk-based Vulnerability management prioritizes the remediation of vulnerabilities based on their potential impact on an organization's security posture and overall risk profile. Instead of treating all vulnerabilities equally, the primary focus is on identifying and addressing the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to the organization's assets, operations, and reputation.

Identity access management is the process of managing and controlling digital identities and their access to various resources within an organization's IT infrastructure. The primary goal of IAM is to ensure that the right individuals have appropriate access to the right resources at the right times, while also preventing unauthorized access.

Data discovery is the process of scanning your entire environment to find and identify where both structured and unstructured data resides. Data classification is the process of identifying the types of data that a business has discovered, and then tagging that data to organize it into categories based on file type, content and other metadata.

Absolutely! You can start with the platform's pre-set classifications and then customize and add additional classification types based on the unique data types you and your customers require.
