Synergy in Security: ThreatNG and Your Current Web Application Defenses

Unifying External Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Security Ratings for a Fortified Web Presence

In today's ever-evolving threat landscape, organizations of all sizes need a comprehensive solution to secure their web applications. ThreatNG offers an all-in-one platform that combines External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, empowering businesses to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate external threats explicitly targeting their web applications.

Gaining Unmatched Visibility

ThreatNG's core strength lies in discovering and assessing your external attack surface. It includes authorized assets like websites and applications and unauthorized "shadow IT" that can expose vulnerabilities. The platform also goes beyond fundamental discovery, offering deep analysis based on your organization's definable risk appetite. 

Security Benchmarks at Your Fingertips

ThreatNG doesn't just identify assets; it assesses them against industry best practices. The platform benchmarks critical security configurations like:

• Automatic HTTPS Redirects: Ensuring all traffic is encrypted.

• Content-Security-Policy (CSP) Headers: Mitigating cross-site scripting (XSS) and injection attacks.

• Deprecated Headers: Removing outdated headers that attackers can exploit.

• HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) Headers: Enforcing your website's secure connections (HTTPS).

• X-Content-Type Options Headers: Preventing MIME-sniffing attacks.

• X-Frame-Options Headers:  Defending against clickjacking attacks.

• Vulnerabilities: Identifying known security weaknesses in your systems.

• Default Ports and Private IPs: Exposing potential misconfigurations.

By providing clear visibility into these critical areas, ThreatNG empowers you to prioritize vulnerabilities and make informed decisions based on risk tolerance. 

Deep Visibility and Targeted Protection

ThreatNG provides deep insights into your entire external attack surface. It includes not only your public-facing web applications but also:

Shadow IT: Unapproved or undocumented web applications can create security vulnerabilities. ThreatNG helps identify these hidden assets, feeding their discovered vulnerabilities into your Vulnerability Management (VM) system for remediation.

Supply Chain & Third-Party Exposure: Vulnerabilities in your partners' systems can create a domino effect, impacting your security. ThreatNG assesses your supply chain ecosystem to identify potential risks. This information can be integrated with your SIEM system to provide a holistic view of attack vectors.

ThreatNG's Security Ratings and Investigation Modules

This suite of powerful modules empowers you to prioritize vulnerabilities and optimize your existing security solutions:

Brand Damage & Phishing Susceptibility (Domain Intelligence and Sentiment & Financials): Identify the potential use of your brand in phishing campaigns and social media that could damage your reputation. It will allow you to focus your WAF rules on protecting against these specific phishing attempts.

Data Leak Susceptibility: Discover exposed leaks that could compromise sensitive information. ThreatNG prioritizes these vulnerabilities through vulnerability assessment and policy management, ensuring critical data exposure issues are addressed first.

Web Application Hijack Susceptibility and Subdomain Takeover Susceptibility: Uncover forgotten or misconfigured subdomains and identify weak certificates that attackers could exploit for malicious purposes. It allows you to prioritize patching these vulnerabilities in your VM system to prevent web application hijacking.

Breach & Ransomware Susceptibility: Gain insights into potential breaches and ransomware attacks impacting your organization or supply chain. ThreatNG feeds this information into your SIEM system, enriching security events with valuable context to identify possible compromises.

ESG Exposure: Monitor online sentiment and public records to identify potential environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that could impact your brand. Understanding these potential reputational risks allows you to prioritize vulnerabilities that could exacerbate them during penetration testing efforts.

ThreatNG's Additional Capabilities

These modules further strengthen your web application security posture and feed valuable data into your security solutions:

Sensitive Code Exposure (Code Repository Discovery): Identify instances of sensitive code (e.g., API keys, passwords) accidentally exposed online. ThreatNG can prioritize these vulnerabilities for immediate remediation and alert your development teams.

Cloud and SaaS Exposure (Cloud and SaaS Discovery): Gain visibility into sanctioned cloud services, unsanctioned cloud usage, and misconfigured cloud storage buckets that could expose sensitive data. This information can be integrated with your Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool for improved cloud security.

Online Sharing Exposure: Monitor public file-sharing platforms for unauthorized sharing of sensitive company information. ThreatNG can trigger alerts within your Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution to investigate potential insider threats.

Archived Web Pages: ThreatNG can analyze archived web pages to identify potential vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations that may have existed in the past but were not addressed. This information can be used to improve your security awareness training programs.

Translating Visibility into Actionable Benefits

ThreatNG's comprehensive approach translates into several critical benefits for organizations:

Enhanced Security Posture: When vulnerabilities are proactively found and fixed throughout your external attack surface, attackers' ability to penetrate your online applications is hindered, and your attack surface is considerably reduced.

Risk Mitigation:  ThreatNG prioritizes risks based on your risk appetite, allowing you to focus on the most critical issues first,  such as those that could damage your brand reputation or expose sensitive data.

Compliance Assurance:  ThreatNG helps ensure adherence to industry regulations and security standards related to data privacy and brand protection.

Continuous Monitoring and Reporting:  The platform provides real-time insights into your external attack surface, allowing you to stay ahead of evolving threats and demonstrate ongoing compliance efforts.

By unifying EASM, DRP, and security ratings, ThreatNG offers a holistic approach to the web.
