Assessing Your Security Arsenal: Are You Truly Capable of Detecting and Protecting Against Cyberthreats?
In today's rapidly changing digital landscape, cyber-attacks continue to evolve and pose a significant threat to organizations. Security teams across industries constantly battle to safeguard their systems and data from the ever-expanding array of threats, including ransomware, phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and breaches.
However, the question remains: Can you assess your susceptibility to these threats using your existing attack surface management tools or vulnerability assessment solutions?
Furthermore, can you obtain actionable information to bolster your defenses and proactively protect your organization? In this article, we will challenge you to evaluate your current security posture and explore how ThreatNG's External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings can help you stay one step ahead of cyber threats.
The Limitations of Traditional Approaches
While traditional attack surface management and vulnerability assessment solutions have their merits, they often need to improve when assessing and protecting against the more sophisticated and nuanced cyber threats organizations face today. These solutions focus on internal vulnerability scanning and patch management, leaving the external attack surface uncharted territory. Ransomware, phishing attacks, BEC, and breaches often exploit vulnerabilities outside the organization's network perimeter, making gaining visibility and control over the external attack surface crucial.
Assessing External Vulnerabilities
ThreatNG's External Attack Surface Management empowers organizations to gain comprehensive visibility into their external attack surface, assessing vulnerabilities and potential entry points from an attacker's perspective. By leveraging active/passive scanning and threat intelligence, this solution identifies weaknesses, misconfigurations, and exposed assets that threat actors can exploit. ThreatNG goes beyond traditional vulnerability assessments by simulating real-world attack scenarios, providing a more accurate assessment of an organization's security posture.
Detecting Digital Risks
In addition to identifying vulnerabilities, ThreatNG's Digital Risk Protection monitors the digital landscape for potential organizational threats. ThreatNG employs cutting-edge technologies to scan various online platforms, social media, and the dark web. This proactive approach allows organizations to detect early indicators of targeted attacks, brand impersonation, data leaks, and other potential risks before they escalate into full-blown security incidents.
Actionable Information and Proactive Protection
Gaining actionable information is crucial to fortify your defenses and facilitate proactive protective measures. ThreatNG's Security Ratings provide organizations with a clear and quantifiable assessment of their security posture, allowing them to prioritize and address vulnerabilities effectively. These ratings consider exposed services, misconfigurations, encryption protocols, and other security best practices. With this information, organizations can allocate resources wisely, patch critical vulnerabilities promptly, and implement preventive measures to reduce the attack surface.
Conclusion
In the face of persistent cyber threats, organizations must continuously assess their security posture and strengthen their defenses. However, relying solely on traditional attack surface management and vulnerability assessment solutions may leave critical blind spots and vulnerabilities unaddressed. ThreatNG's External Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Security Ratings offer a comprehensive and proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities, detecting digital risks, and obtaining actionable information. By leveraging these advanced capabilities, organizations can significantly enhance an organization's ability to assess, protect, and defend against ransomware, phishing attacks, BEC, breaches, and other evolving cyber threats. It's time to challenge antiquated and passive security practices and proactively safeguard your organization's digital assets and reputation.
