Compare Osto vs. Symantec Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Osto is an all-encompassing cybersecurity solution tailored for startups, addressing the shortcomings of many companies that only tackle part of the security issue. While compliance platforms merely streamline the documentation process and security vendors focus solely on protection, founders often find themselves juggling multiple providers, including one for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), which leads to difficulties when faced with security questionnaires. In contrast, Osto consolidates everything into a single platform, transforming security management. Osto manages your entire security infrastructure, offering services like Web Application Firewall (WAF), API protection, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for AWS, Azure, and GCP, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for network security, endpoint protection for your team's devices, and safeguarding code across repositories, all through 20 in-house developed modules. Additionally, compliance automation is inherently integrated, allowing for continuous control mapping and seamless evidence generation from security modules into an audit trail. This results in real-time readiness for standards like SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, moving beyond outdated screenshots from previous quarters. VAPT services are provided by OSCP-certified professionals within a two-week timeframe, while an AI-driven Security Q&A feature automatically populates enterprise questionnaires with data sourced from the live platform. Furthermore, Osto's unified approach not only simplifies security management but also empowers startups to focus more on growth and innovation.
