Uncle Marv interviews Zach Kromkowski from Senteon, a cybersecurity company participating in the IT Nation Pitch It Accelerator program. Senteon provides automated system hardening and compliance solutions for workstations, servers, and browsers based on CIS standards.

Zach explains that Senteon's platform automates the implementation of over 1,200 security settings recommended by CIS. The company has rewritten about 550 GPOs from a security perspective and hosts weekly educational webinars with CIS and subject matter experts to discuss these settings.

Senteon's approach differs from traditional methods like Intune or Group Policy by not only pushing changes but also verifying their effectiveness. The platform includes a learning mode to tailor risk assessments and create a roadmap for improving security posture over time.

The interview covers Senteon's pricing model, which is $1 per endpoint per month with a 250-endpoint minimum. Zach emphasizes the tool's MSP-friendly features, including multi-tenancy support and the ability to deploy settings across multiple clients.

Key features of Senteon include real-time monitoring, analysis, and alerting, as well as the ability to track changes made by users and revert them if necessary. The platform also offers an "undo button" to quickly revert all changes made by Senteon.

Zach highlights Senteon's unique approach to security configuration management, making changes directly via the Win32 API rather than relying on Microsoft tools. The platform works with both cloud and on-premises environments and can help identify misconfigured settings and potential security issues.
