Cybercriminals are moving faster than ever. New vulnerabilities emerge daily, and vendor patches cannot always keep pace. For organizations running complex enterprise systems like Oracle, SAP, or VMware, relying solely on vendors for security is no longer enough.
Forward-thinking IT and security leaders are rethinking their approach. They are embracing a cybersecurity defense-in-depth model that delivers protection without waiting for vendor updates.
What is Cybersecurity Defense-in-Depth?
The Problem with Patch-Only Security
Vendor patches are designed to fix known issues, not anticipate what is next. They often arrive late or leave older software unprotected altogether. Meanwhile, attackers evolve, exploiting gaps in configurations, custom code, and integrations that vendors no longer support.
The result is a growing exposure gap that leaves mission-critical systems at risk.
Spinnaker Shield: A Third-Party Cybersecurity Defense-in-Depth Model
Spinnaker Shield offers a proactive alternative that strengthens your overall security posture across the full stack, including databases, middleware, and applications. It combines the three key layers of a cybersecurity defense-in-depth model, designed to keep your systems secure, compliant, and under your control.
1. Discover and Harden
Regular assessments identify weaknesses and guide configuration hardening to reduce your attack surface. Spinnaker helps adjust controls and ensures alignment with frameworks like PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, and SOC2.
2. Incident Response
When time is critical, having expert support matters. Spinnaker’s security team provides vulnerability management and swift response to protect systems and data, even for complex customizations.
3. Threat Intelligence
Knowledge is power. Spinnaker continuously evaluates vendor security issues and publishes findings and best practices to help customers stay ahead of evolving threats.
Compliance and Control Built In
Security is only part of the picture. Maintaining compliance is equally vital. With Spinnaker Shield, organizations can achieve and sustain compliance without being forced into vendor-driven upgrades. This flexibility puts you back in control of your roadmap and your risk.
The Result: Confidence and Continuity
Organizations that move to third-party support for their cybersecurity defense-in-depth model discover a stronger sense of security and stability. They maintain control, reduce risk, and gain peace of mind knowing that protection extends beyond patch cycles.
As one CISO put it, “With Spinnaker Support on our side, we’re safe and more efficient than ever.”
