Sensitive Code Exposure

Code Under Scrutiny: ThreatNG Sensitive Code Exposure Investigation Module

In the age of ubiquitous software development, code repositories, and mobile applications can harbor sensitive information if not adequately secured. The ThreatNG Sensitive Code Exposure Investigation Module addresses this challenge by analyzing publicly accessible code repositories and mobile apps associated with an organization. This proactive approach fulfills critical requirements for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Digital Risk Protection (DRP), helping organizations identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities and reputational risks associated with code exposure.

Uncover Exposed Secrets & Mitigate Data Breach Risk

Enhanced Security Posture

The module helps organizations strengthen their overall security posture and prevent unauthorized access to critical systems by identifying exposed secrets and potential vulnerabilities within code.

Reduced Risk of Data Breaches

Early detection of exposed credentials and configuration details helps prevent data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Improved Brand Reputation

Unintentionally exposed sensitive information can damage an organization's reputation. The module helps identify such leaks and allows for swift remediation.

The ThreatNG Sensitive Code Exposure Investigation Module empowers organizations to identify and address security vulnerabilities associated with code exposure by analyzing public code repositories and mobile applications. This comprehensive approach strengthens EASM and DRP efforts, promoting a more secure and compliant development environment.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

Identification of Exposed Secrets: The module scans public code repositories for exposed secrets like passwords, API keys, or configuration files. It allows for immediate action to revoke compromised credentials and secure sensitive systems.
Vulnerability Detection: Inadvertent inclusion of vulnerable code libraries or outdated dependencies can create security risks. The module helps identify such vulnerabilities in public repositories, allowing for patching efforts to address them.
Misconfiguration Detection: Misconfigurations within code or mobile app configurations can create security gaps. The module can identify potential misconfigurations by analyzing exposed code and app settings.

Digital Risk Protection (DRP)

Data Breach Prevention: Early detection of exposed credentials and configuration details helps prevent data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information, mitigating potential reputational damage.
Third-Party Library Risk Assessment: Mobile apps often rely on third-party libraries. The module can identify vulnerabilities within these libraries, allowing for informed decision-making regarding third-party dependencies.
Compliance Monitoring: Regulations may dictate specific security controls within mobile apps. The module can help identify potential compliance gaps by analyzing the security posture of the organization's mobile apps.

Mobile App Discovery

Understanding an organization's mobile app ecosystem is crucial for a comprehensive security posture. It can identify mobile applications developed by or affiliated with the organization, readily downloadable from public app stores. The module expands the organization's attack surface analysis by including mobile apps in the discovery process, encompassing internally developed and third-party applications.
