Asset Business Context
Asset Business Context refers to the understanding of the business significance or importance of an asset within an organization's infrastructure.
An asset can be any component or resource that holds value to the organization, such as servers, databases, web applications, or intellectual property. The Asset Business Context involves evaluating the criticality of these assets to the organization's operations, reputation, and overall business objectives.
By understanding the Asset Business Context, organizations can prioritize their security efforts and allocate appropriate resources to protect their critical assets. This understanding helps identify potential vulnerabilities, assess the impact of external threats, and implement adequate security controls.
ThreatNG Security combines External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings to assist with understanding and managing the Asset Business Context.
External Attack Surface Management (EASM): ThreatNG helps organizations identify and monitor their external attack surface, which includes all the assets exposed to the internet. By scanning for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or weak points in these assets, ThreatNG provides insights into the security risks associated with each asset. This information contributes to understanding the Asset Business Context by highlighting potential vulnerabilities and their impact on the organization.
Digital Risk Protection (DRP): ThreatNG also focuses on protecting an organization's digital footprint by monitoring for data leaks, brand abuse, and other threats across the internet. By tracking the exposure of assets and monitoring for potential risks, ThreatNG helps assess each asset's relevance and importance in the Asset Business Context. Organizations can prioritize their protection efforts based on the potential impact on their operations and reputation.
Security Ratings: ThreatNG provides security ratings for assets based on various factors, such as vulnerabilities, historical breaches, and threat intelligence. These ratings help organizations evaluate the risk level associated with each asset, aiding in understanding the Asset Business Context. Security ratings assist in prioritizing security measures, allocating resources effectively, and making informed decisions regarding protecting critical assets.
By combining EASM, DRP, and Security Ratings, ThreatNG offers a holistic view of an organization's external attack surface, digital risks, and security posture. This comprehensive understanding of assets and their business context enables organizations to focus efforts, mitigate risks, and effectively protect their most critical resources.
