Dominate Your Digital Risk: How ThreatNG's EASM, Digital Risk Protection, and Security Ratings Conquer the OWASP Top 10
In today's interconnected world, web applications are the lifeblood of many organizations. But with the rise of sophisticated cyberattacks, ensuring these applications are secure is more critical than ever. The OWASP Top 10 provides a roadmap of the most crucial web application security risks, but navigating this complex landscape requires a proactive and comprehensive approach.
ThreatNG, a cutting-edge External Attack Surface Management (EASM), digital risk protection, and security ratings solution, empowers organizations to take control of their digital risk and conquer the OWASP Top 10. Beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities, ThreatNG provides a holistic view of your external security posture, including insights into third-party vendors and hidden attack vectors.
Unmasking the OWASP Top 10 with ThreatNG
ThreatNG's multi-faceted approach tackles each OWASP Top 10 vulnerability head-on:
A01:2021 - Broken Access Control: ThreatNG leaves no entry point unchecked. It identifies exposed APIs, unsecured cloud resources, and weaknesses in login mechanisms, even assessing your susceptibility to web application hijacking. Furthermore, it can uncover exposed admin panels lurking in forgotten corners of your digital footprint.
A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures: Protecting your sensitive data is paramount. ThreatNG analyzes your certificates for weaknesses, detects exposed secrets in code repositories, and identifies compromised credentials on the dark web, ensuring your data remains confidential.
A03:2021—Injection: ThreatNG acts as a vigilant guardian against injection attacks. It scans your web applications for potential injection vulnerabilities, examines server configurations and archived web pages, and even assesses your susceptibility to web application hijacking.
A04:2021 - Insecure Design: While ThreatNG can't replace manual code reviews, it acts as a spotlight, highlighting potential risk areas, such as outdated components and exposed APIs, which often indicate underlying design flaws.
A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration: ThreatNG meticulously scans your digital assets for misconfigurations. It checks for open ports, misconfigured email settings, and vulnerable cloud services and even assesses your susceptibility to subdomain takeover attacks.
A06:2021 - Vulnerable and Outdated Components: Staying ahead of vulnerabilities is a constant race. ThreatNG maintains an up-to-date database of known vulnerabilities and identifies outdated software components in your technology stack, helping you prioritize patching and updates.
A07:2021- Identification and Authentication Failures: ThreatNG scrutinizes your authentication systems, identifying weaknesses in exposed APIs and potential impersonation attempts. It also assesses your web application for authentication vulnerabilities.
A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures: ThreatNG is a data loss prevention expert that analyzes code repositories and online platforms to identify potential data leakage or code integrity issues and assesses your overall data leak susceptibility.
A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures: While ThreatNG doesn't directly configure your logging and monitoring systems, it provides valuable data and insights that can be used to improve these critical security practices.
A10:2021 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): ThreatNG proactively strengthens your web application's security by discovering APIs and subdomains and analyzing their security headers to identify potential SSRF risks. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into your application's overall security posture, highlighting areas for improvement in input validation and helping you prevent potential SSRF vulnerabilities.
Illuminating Your Third-Party Risk
ThreatNG goes beyond your immediate perimeter, uncovering hidden third-party risks. Through domain intelligence, technology stack analysis, and cloud and SaaS exposure assessments, ThreatNG identifies your third-party vendors and assesses their security posture. It allows you to address potential risks in your supply chain proactively.
Working with Complementary Security Solutions
ThreatNG is even more powerful when integrated with other security solutions. Here are some examples:
Vulnerability Scanners: ThreatNG can complement traditional vulnerability scanners by providing external context and identifying vulnerabilities that internal scans might miss. For example, ThreatNG might identify an exposed API endpoint not visible within the internal network.
Penetration Testing: ThreatNG can provide valuable reconnaissance data for penetration testers, helping them focus their efforts on the most critical vulnerabilities. For example, ThreatNG might identify a misconfigured subdomain that could be used as an entry point for an attack. (Explore ThreatNG's integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework).
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Systems: ThreatNG can feed data into SIEM systems, providing a more comprehensive view of security events and enabling faster incident response. For example, ThreatNG might identify a compromised credential on the dark web, triggering an alert in the SIEM system.
Threat Intelligence Platforms: ThreatNG can enhance threat intelligence platforms by providing real-time data on emerging threats and vulnerabilities. For example, ThreatNG might identify a new exploit in the wild, allowing the threat intelligence platform to update its threat models accordingly.
ThreatNG: Elevate Your Security Posture
ThreatNG is more than a vulnerability scanner; it's your partner in building a robust security strategy. By proactively identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities associated with the OWASP Top 10, ThreatNG helps you elevate your security posture and stay ahead of the curve. It's about understanding your attack surface, managing your digital risk, and building a secure foundation for your online presence.
