This is where ThreatNG comes in, not as a replacement for your existing security tools but as a powerful amplifier, transforming them into a unified force against external threats.
More Than Just EASM, DRP, and Ratings
ThreatNG is an all-in-one solution beyond essential external attack surface management (EASM), digital risk protection (DRP), and security ratings. It delves deeper, harvesting and analyzing open, deep, and dark web data. It includes technical information like domain details and cloud infrastructure, financial and administrative data like SEC filings and lawsuits, and even human intelligence from the dark web and social media. This comprehensive intelligence enables ThreatNG to paint a holistic picture of your external attack surface, uncovering risks your current tools might miss. Here's how ThreatNG's comprehensive intelligence can uncover hidden risks and provide immediate benefits:
Shadow IT Exposure
Your current security tools focus on internal assets, leaving you blind to "shadow IT" - unauthorized cloud applications and services employees use. Suddenly, ThreatNG scans the dark web and identifies a data leak on a rogue cloud storage service your marketing team set up without IT's knowledge. This exposed data contains customer PII, putting your organization at risk for fines and reputational damage. ThreatNG instantly alerts you, enabling immediate action to secure the unauthorized service and notify affected customers.
