Frequently Asked Questions.
How does iCOUNTER complement SecurityScorecard?
iCOUNTER adds its own intelligence collection, evaluates threat evidence against your business dependencies, and manages third-party engagement for validated threats. Its role should be defined around your current SecurityScorecard products and services, with clear expectations for additional coverage, response responsibilities, and remediation follow-through.
Do we need to replace SecurityScorecard?
No. iCOUNTER works alongside your SecurityScorecard program, adding its own intelligence collection, business-specific risk determination, and managed third-party response.
What does iCOUNTER add if we already use SecurityScorecard’s threat intelligence, remediation, or managed services?
iCOUNTER brings its own intelligence collection and managed Counter Threat Operations focused on your specific ecosystem. CTOS evaluates adversary activity against your business dependencies and risk framework, delivering validated risk events with recommended action. iCOUNTER then engages affected third parties and tracks remediation to completion with supporting evidence. These capabilities extend your program with intelligence and response support tailored to the threats affecting your business.
How does CTOS determine whether a threat affects our business?
CTOS correlates threat evidence against a digital twin of your ecosystem; a model of your third parties and their relationships to your business. Your risk framework, business dependencies, and third-party priorities help determine the threat’s relevance, potential operational impact, and required action.
What kinds of threat activity does iCOUNTER investigate?
iCOUNTER collects and analyzes evidence such as compromised credentials, network or administrative access offered for sale, ransomware-related data exposure, and adversary targeting. CTOS evaluates those signals in your ecosystem context before delivering validated Risk Intelligence with recommended remediation.
What happens after iCOUNTER validates a threat?
iCOUNTER engages the affected third party, provides prescriptive remediation, and tracks progress through resolution with supporting evidence. Your team gains visibility into the threat, required action, and remediation status, with escalation when your involvement is needed.
Does using the two services require a direct integration?
A direct integration with SecurityScorecard is not required to begin an iCOUNTER engagement. Any data exchange or workflow integration can be scoped separately around your environment and the products you use.
What do we need to get started?
Start with a CSV of your priority third parties and ecosystem partners. Share your risk framework, priorities, and current service coverage so the engagement can focus on relevant business dependencies and clearly defined operational responsibilities.
