Holistic Digital Footprint Analysis
In security and cybersecurity, a holistic digital footprint analysis is a thorough review and evaluation of all digital resources, actions, and online presence connected to a person, group, or system. This analysis goes beyond traditional cybersecurity measures, encompassing many elements, including web applications, social media accounts, domain registrations, online databases, and more. The goal is to create a detailed and interconnected digital landscape map, identifying potential vulnerabilities, risks, and exposures that malicious actors could exploit. This method acknowledges that a company's online presence encompasses all facets of its security posture, not only internal systems and networks. Security experts may better understand the attack surface, proactively spot possible threats, and create effective plans to defend against cyber hazards throughout the digital environment by doing a comprehensive digital footprint study.
ThreatNG is an integrated solution converging External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, is pivotal in facilitating Holistic Digital Footprint Analysis for organizations. Using EASM, ThreatNG meticulously maps and assesses an organization's entire external landscape, providing specific insights into its digital assets and potential vulnerabilities. Simultaneously, DRP actively monitors this expansive digital footprint, safeguarding against threats like phishing and brand abuse. Security Ratings within ThreatNG contribute by continuously evaluating the organization's cybersecurity posture and benchmarking it against industry standards. This comprehensive analysis ensures that every facet of an organization's online presence is considered, complementing traditional security solutions like endpoint protection and intrusion detection. For example, ThreatNG's insights can enhance the efficacy of internal security measures by correlating external threat intelligence with internal events, creating a cohesive defense strategy that addresses both internal and external risks in a unified manner.
