The Planets Align for Triumfant

This has been an interesting, busy and exciting week.

First, we (Triumfant) announced our product release that moves our product, Resolution Manager, into real-time detection and remediation.   While our ability to see malicious attacks through granular change detection was always unique, the ability of the product to detect, analyze and remediate an attack in the span of three minutes or less is pretty remarkable.   So much so that I get a lot of “too good to be true” skepticism until people see the demo.   It is really fun to watch people as they watch our guys introduce something malicious to a machine, then see the same code removed without intervention, all in about 90 seconds.   That show will be running non-stop in our booth at RSA (booth 2535), so stop in and see for yourself.

Second, we are preparing for RSA, which is always an interesting week.  I remember walking into my first RSA as the CMO of Cybertrust in 2005 and being taken back by how crazy it all was – so many products and vendors with so many messages.   I could not imagine how attendees could sort it all out.   Finding a voice at RSA is no easy task, particularly for a small company like ours.   So I am excited to see how the attendees respond to our message, because for many of them it will be the first time they have ever seen Triumfant.   We will also be in the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance Pavilion which is also exciting as we unveil our integration with McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator.

Lastly, the week before RSA is always a time where vendors release studies in the security market.   I have been like a kid at Christmas reading through the just released reports by Symantec and Verizon Business as well as last months report by Trend Micro because they are factual and objective validation of the foundation of why we think we add value to organizations.   It is clear that cyber crime continues to grow in complexity and volume, and it is abundantly clear that signature based defenses have reached a point where they are simply no longer sustainable.  The numbers in the Symantec report were particularly stunning, and really point to a need for innovative detection solutions like Triumfant.   When the market evolves to the need to write a new signature every 20 seconds – we call this perfecting the obsolete – it is unreasonable to believe that signature based technology can carry the burden for malware detection moving forward. 

Any one of these events would make a given week more interesting, but to have them converge in one week really ratchets up the excitement.   Best of all, they fit together so neatly – a new product release to address a problem validated by respected names in the industry and the industry’s largest forum to talk about how our solution solves that problem.   Sometimes the planets really do align.
