In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, a complete understanding of your organization's external attack surface is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity. But how can you gain proper visibility into the hidden technologies and third-party connections outside your immediate control? ThreatNG has just made a significant leap forward in solving this challenge, dramatically enhancing its ability to identify associated third parties and technologies externally.

Unveiling a New Era of Visibility

ThreatNG's recent R&D breakthrough has significantly expanded its external identification capabilities. This translates to a massive enhancement in the depth and breadth of ThreatNG's external visibility, allowing security teams to uncover a wider range of potential risks than ever before.

Why This is Significant and Unique:

ThreatNG goes beyond simply scanning for known vulnerabilities. It proactively uncovers the hidden connections and technologies that make up your external attack surface. By employing a combination of methods, including:

• DNS record analysis: Uncovering relationships between domains and subdomains.

• Subdomain takeover susceptibility assessments: Identifying potential vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to hijack your subdomains.

• Cloud and SaaS identification: Detecting the use of cloud services and SaaS applications connected to your organization.

• Web application firewall recognition: Identifying security measures in place to protect your web applications.

• Technology stack fingerprinting: Determining the technologies used to build and run your web applications.

ThreatNG paints a comprehensive picture of your external ecosystem. This multifaceted, external-focused approach is truly unique. Unlike solutions that rely on internal network access or agent deployments, ThreatNG operates outside, providing an unbiased and attacker-centric view of your organization.

A Differentiated Achievement

This breakthrough underscores ThreatNG's commitment to research and development. Identifying technologies and third-party associations from diverse external data sources requires sophisticated techniques and algorithms. This achievement solidifies ThreatNG's position as an external attack surface management leader.

Impact on External Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Security Ratings

The ability to identify a broader range of vendors and technologies has profound implications across various security domains:

• External Attack Surface Management: Gain deeper visibility into your external attack surface, enabling more targeted risk assessments and prioritization of remediation efforts.

• Digital Risk Protection: Proactively identify potential risks associated with third-party technologies and vendors, enhancing threat intelligence and brand protection efforts.

• Security Ratings: Integrate a comprehensive understanding of external technologies and their associated risks to provide more accurate and data-driven security ratings.

Use Cases Across the Board

This breakthrough benefits a wide range of use cases:

• Brand Protection: Detect and mitigate brand impersonation and phishing attempts by identifying unauthorized use of technologies and assets.

• Cloud and SaaS Exposure Management: Uncover shadow IT and ensure compliance by identifying unsanctioned cloud services and SaaS applications.

• Due Diligence: Assess the cybersecurity posture of potential acquisition targets and vendors by evaluating their use of third-party technologies.

• Third-Party Risk Management: Continuously monitor and mitigate risks associated with third-party vendors throughout their lifecycle.
