“Collaborating with River Security is proving transformative for us at Posten Bring.  We have a large digital footprint, making it challenging to assess effectively.

However, River Security’s ongoing delivery is offering us invaluable insights into our own assets, highlighting both where we have control and where there is room for improvement.

What truly impresses us is how comprehensive the service was and that River Security’s analysis with their methods unveiled hidden issues and identified areas where we need to take action.

This newfound visibility is essential, enabling us to pinpoint precisely where enhancements are needed in a prioritized order.

Thanks to River Security, we now have a comprehensive understanding of our external exposure and can confidently prioritize accordingly.

Their delivery not only brings clarity but also facilitates the streamlining and alignment of our security posture.

Worth mentioning is their swift activation of experts and penetration testers on-the-fly during our monthly meetings to provide added value and address tailored needs as they arise.

In summary, River Security’s contribution with Active Focus is instrumental in navigating the complexities of our external attack surface, empowering us to make informed decisions and proactively enhance our overall IT-security posture.

We sincerely appreciate their expertise and professionalism and wholeheartedly recommend their Active Focus service to any organization.”

“Over the past four years, Active Focus has become an indispensable part of our security operations. The service provides continuous, real-time visibility into our attack surface across multiple business units, enabling us to stay ahead of potential threats. Having a structured and categorized overview isn’t just convenient: it’s critical.

A key benefit is how Active Focus keeps our subcontractors accountable, ensuring that security gaps don’t go unnoticed. The service has identified a significant number of issues, all of which we have been able to remediate effectively thanks to detailed reporting, categorization, and the expert guidance from River Security. The ability to detect and address vulnerabilities quickly has been instrumental in avoiding misuse of our systems and ensuring operational security. 

The Dark Web monitoring capabilities of Active Focus have also proven invaluable. Gaining visibility into leaked credentials and potential exposures before they can be exploited allows us to take swift action and significantly reduce risk. This proactive approach has helped us avoid security incidents that could impact our operations.

We also highly value the direct engagement with our subsidiaries and the close collaboration with our internal teams, particularly in the area of penetration testing. The insights provided by Active Focus make it clear where action is needed, allowing us to take a proactive and structured approach to security.”

Looking back at our journey, it’s remarkable how far the service has come. From day one to today, Active Focus has evolved tremendously, becoming a solution we now rely on every day. The continuous improvements and refinements have made it an essential tool in our security framework.”
