Staying ahead of threats is a paramount concern for organizations today. The challenge is not just to detect and respond but to proactively manage and reduce exposure to these threats. This is where Interpres steps in, offering a fresh approach to threat exposure management .

Rising from Retirement to Revolutionize Security

I had a chance to connect with Nick Lantuh, co-founder and CEO of Interpres. He shared that after a successful career in cybersecurity, culminating in several major exits, he found retirement less fulfilling than expected. His passion for solving complex security challenges brought him back.

The impetus? A unique opportunity to address a critical gap in the cybersecurity ecosystem. Interpres addresses a glaring need to optimize defenses using the tools organizations already have, rather than pushing them to constantly invest in new solutions.

Lantuh told me it was a vision he had when he was at NetWitness, and that he wanted to do when he was at eSentire and other companies, but they couldn’t because they were actually part of the problem. He felt that in order to do it right, you first need to be independent and unbiased.

“We feel that the market was really missing a platform that optimized defenses against those threats that are targeting you and using the tools and the resources that you already have to kind of reveal the gaps, and the seams, and the misconfigurations in between the products,” explained Lantuh.

Solving the Missing Piece of the Puzzle

The cybersecurity industry has long been plagued by fragmented solutions. Organizations often juggle multiple tools, each addressing a specific aspect of security, but lacking a unified view. This fragmentation leaves gaps and inefficiencies, which cyber adversaries can exploit.

Interpres addresses this by integrating . This unified approach allows for continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), providing a holistic view of an organization’s security posture​​​​.

The Unique Value of Interpres in the Market

Lantuh described how Interpres distinguishes itself in the CTEM market by offering capabilities that are both comprehensive and automated.

The platform leverages the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map detections and security controls, providing a prioritized view of the most critical threats. The integration of the Interpres AI Assistant further enhances this by delivering real-time security recommendations, helping SecOps teams focus on what truly matters​​​​.

Saving Time, Money, and Resources

One of the primary benefits of Interpres is its ability to optimize existing security investments.

By providing visibility into misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, the platform ensures that organizations make the most of their current tools. This approach not only reduces the need for additional investments but also minimizes the operational burden on security teams.

It also designed to be a threat-centric platform. Not all attacks are created equally and not all industries face the same threats. Organizations configure their profiles with key factors like industry vertical, size of the organization, geographic regions the company does business in, types of data the company protects internally or on behalf of customers, etc. This profile gives Interpres valuable context through which to view emerging threat intelligence and evaluate the security posture.

David Malicoat, CSO at DMS, shared with me how Interpres streamlines daily operations, allowing his team to systematically reduce risk and focus on high-priority threats​​​​.

The Spreadsheet as a Competitor

Without a platform like Interpres, many SecOps teams relied on spreadsheets and manual processes to manage their threat exposure. This approach is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and inefficiencies.

Interpres automates these processes, offering a more reliable and scalable solution. The platform’s ability to continuously monitor and update threat exposure in real-time replaces the outdated spreadsheet method with a dynamic, automated system that can adapt to the rapidly changing threat landscape​​​​.

Disrupting the Future of Threat Exposure Management

Looking ahead, Lantuh revealed that Interpres aims to further disrupt the threat exposure management market by continually enhancing its platform. The future includes deeper integrations with other security tools, expanded AI capabilities, and even more advanced analytics to provide deeper insights into threat exposure.

By maintaining its focus on optimizing existing defenses and providing actionable intelligence, Lantuh believes Interpres is an indispensable tool for CISOs and SecOps teams​​​​.

Optimizing Cybersecurity

The need for a unified, efficient approach to threat exposure management is more critical than ever. Interpres Security is not just filling this need; it is revolutionizing the way organizations manage and mitigate threats.

By leveraging existing tools more effectively and providing a comprehensive view of security posture, Interpres is helping organizations stay ahead of adversaries, save resources, and enhance their overall cyber resilience.

“From my perspective, it gives me peace of mind. I’m systematically reducing my risk daily,” said Malicoat. “That’s what it gives me. Just bottom line.”
