Code Repository Exposure
Secure Your Mobile Footprint: ThreatNG's Mobile App Exposure Analysis
In today's interconnected world, organizations face a growing threat of sensitive data exposure through publicly accessible code repositories. The ThreatNG Code Repository Exposure module within the Sensitive Code Exposure Investigation Module is part of our comprehensive External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings solution that proactively identifies and assesses these risks. By continuously scanning public code repositories, ThreatNG helps organizations uncover hidden vulnerabilities and protect their valuable assets. Our solution goes beyond simple repository discovery, delving into the contents to pinpoint specific exposures, from API keys and credentials to configuration files and personally identifiable information, enabling rapid remediation and mitigating potential damage.
Uncovering Hidden Risks in Your Repositories
Protecting sensitive data requires vigilance throughout the development lifecycle. ThreatNG's Code Repository Exposure scans your exposed online code repositories for a wide range of digital risks, helping you identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they're exploited. Our comprehensive analysis detects everything from inadvertently exposed access credentials and API keys to sensitive application data, configuration files, and personal information lurking within your codebase.

Code Repository Security: Protecting Your Assets
Gain complete visibility of your external assets, prioritize remediation of critical vulnerabilities, and proactively protect your brand, data, cloud environments, and supply chain with continuous EASM, DRP, and brand protection.
Comprehensive Visibility: Identify all publicly exposed code repositories, including those not officially sanctioned, to gain a complete view of your organization's external attack surface. This will help uncover shadow IT and forgotten repositories that could be vulnerable.
Prioritized Remediation: Focus on the most critical vulnerabilities by prioritizing exposed credentials, API keys, and other sensitive data within code repositories. This allows security teams to allocate resources and efficiently reduce the most significant risks.
Proactive Vulnerability Management: Continuously monitor public code repositories for new exposures, enabling proactive remediation before attackers can exploit them. This reduces the window of opportunity for breaches and strengthens overall security posture.
Data Leak Prevention: Identify and mitigate potential data leaks by discovering sensitive information, such as customer data, financial records, or intellectual property, within public code repositories. This helps prevent data breaches and protects sensitive business information.
Brand Reputation Protection: Safeguard your brand reputation by preventing the exposure of internal code, trade secrets, or confidential information that competitors or malicious actors could use. This preserves customer trust and maintains a positive brand image.
Threat Intelligence: Understand what information about your organization is publicly available to gain valuable threat intelligence. This will allow you to anticipate potential attacks and proactively defend against them.
Proactive Risk Reduction: Security ratings provide continuous monitoring and early warning of potential data leaks and security vulnerabilities in code repositories. This enables organizations to take prompt action, reducing the window of opportunity for attackers.
Comprehensive Risk Visibility: Security ratings involve deep content analysis of code repositories, going beyond simple discovery to identify a wide range of sensitive data exposures. This thoroughness ensures that organizations gain a complete view of their risk landscape.
Improved Security Posture: By delivering actionable insights and prioritized remediation steps, security ratings empower organizations to address vulnerabilities and strengthen their overall security posture quickly.
Brand Protection
Counterfeit Detection: Identify instances of your code being used without authorization in public repositories. This helps protect your intellectual property and prevents the distribution of counterfeit products or services.
Brand Abuse Monitoring: Monitor public repositories for misuse of your brand name, logos, or other trademarks within code. This allows you to act against brand infringement and protect your identity.
Reputation Management: Quickly address damaging information about your brand found in code repositories. This will help mitigate reputational damage and maintain a positive brand image.
Cloud & SaaS Exposure Management
Cloud Credential Protection: Identify exposed cloud credentials within public code repositories, such as AWS keys or API tokens. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your cloud resources and protects sensitive data stored in the cloud.
SaaS Security: Discover exposed API keys or access tokens for SaaS applications. This mitigates the risk of unauthorized access to your SaaS data and prevents potential breaches.
Configuration Mismanagement: Identify misconfigurations in cloud or SaaS deployments exposed in public repositories. This helps prevent security vulnerabilities stemming from improperly configured services.
Due Diligence
Pre-Acquisition Risk Assessment: Evaluate the security posture of a target company during mergers and acquisitions by analyzing their public code repositories for potential vulnerabilities or data exposures. This helps identify potential risks and liabilities before finalizing a deal.
Investment Risk Assessment: Assess the security risks associated with potential investments by analyzing the public code repositories of target companies. This provides valuable insights into the security posture and potential liabilities of the companies you are considering investing in.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive data by proactively monitoring public code repositories for potential exposures. This helps ensure compliance with data privacy regulations and industry best practices.
Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor Risk Assessment: Analyze your third-party vendors' public code repositories for exposed credentials or vulnerabilities to evaluate their security posture. This will help you identify and mitigate risks associated with your supply chain.
Data Sharing Security: Ensure that your third-party vendors are not inadvertently exposing shared data in public repositories. This protects sensitive information and ensures compliance with data privacy regulations.
Contractual Compliance: Verify that your third-party vendors adhere to security best practices and contractual obligations regarding code security and data protection.
