Purpose: The purpose of this page is to provide comprehensive information and talking points for the Cavelo Vulnerability Management product as a feature of the Cyber Pack as a Managed Security and Compliance offering in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) Product Catalog.
Audience: MSP XYZ Sales and Service Teams
What Is It?
Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) is a proactive methodology that focuses on providing continuous visibility into an organization's assets. The attack surface refers to all the points where an attachers could potentially gain unauthorized access to an organization's systems or data. CAASM helps identify these exposures and potential security gaps across the entire network attack surface. CAASM leverages automated techniques to discover and classify data, then ensures organizations have complete visibility into where their data resides, how it's used, and who has access to it.
The Cavelo CAASM platform continuously identifies sensitive data and vulnerabilities across digital assets and provides a unified view of the attack surface by tracking data locations, usage, and access in a centralized location within the Cavelo console. Cavelo helps businesses proactively reduce cybersecurity risk and achieve compliance with automated data discovery, classification, and reporting. Risk benchmarks identify gaps and areas for improvement, allowing IT teams to focus on protecting the most vulnerable and valuable assets. Cavelo's cloud-compatible data protection platform continuously scans, identifies, classifies, and reports on sensitive data across the organization, simplifying compliance reporting and risk remediation.
How Does It Work?
Key Functionality
The Cavelo agent is remotely deployed to all user machines and physical servers via RMM tool.
Data Protection and Vulnerability Management:
Vulnerability Scans: The goal is to continuously monitor and analyze detected vulnerabilities, drilling down to address the most critical threats.
Endpoint and Remote/External Vulnerability Scanning schedule set up for each client.
Scan results captured in the Cavelo console for review and remediation.
Prioritization: By identifying vulnerabilities and risks, Cavelo enables prioritization of remediation efforts.
Remediation and Mitigation: By doing so, MSP XYZ can take necessary remediation and mitigation actions to improve client cybersecurity posture.
Deliverables
Low footprint Cavelo agent to scan endpoints and servers for vulnerabilities.
Data Protection and Vulnerability Management:
Vulnerability Scans conducted weekly for Endpoint Vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Scans conducted monthly for Remote/External Vulnerabilities.
Scans for CVE vulnerabilities.
Scan results are captured in Cavelo console > Data Protection module.
Support Team views vulnerabilities in the Cavelo console monthly via "Cavelo Vulnerability Review" tickets in ConnectWise Manage and remediates necessary items.
Cavelo scan results and recommendations addressed in quarterly client review meetings.
Vulnerability Management and Patching:
Highlight acceptable risk vs. critical risk and how this is being addressed via patching program and proactive remediation.
Ability to whitelist items that are low risk or won't be addressed.
What It Doesn't Do
Each client/tenant has an individual product key for agent installs that must be deployed per client. Associating the product key with the respective client is not automated (yet).
Please double check this and be careful not to deploy the wrong product key, or client data will be added to the wrong Cavelo account.
Cavelo provides monitoring and reporting so clients have better visibility into their vulnerabilities and can action accordingly. No "block and tackle" restrictions or active remediation through the platform.

Elevator Pitch and Competitive Advantage
Elevator Pitch
"If you can't see it, you can't protect it." The transition to the cloud, remote work arrangements, and the proliferation of sensitive data have widened the attack surface for all organizations. As companies collect and store more data and the cyber threat landscape continues to grow, safeguarding data becomes paramount. Cavelo adds value to the Cyber Bundle with an essential layer of data protection. Cavelo helps map vulnerabilities to best practice benchmarks like National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) controls. Cavelo provides a single platform for full visibility into digital assets and vulnerabilities to meet Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) needs and regulatory frameworks. In this interconnected digital age, proactively protecting systems is a necessity. Cavelo plays a critical role in enhanced security and compliance.
Competitive Advantage
Competitive Intel
Some known competitors to Cavelo are as follows:
Both of these companies are longer-established than Cavelo and provide robust offerings. They also tend to be more expensive. Since it is included in the Cyber Pack, Cavelo is a more cost effective way to offer clients much of the same functionality in a centralized location for risk mitigation and compliance without having to engage with yet another third party or pay higher fees.
