ThreatCure® Managed Cloud Attack Surface Management

Attackers are only looking for simple targets, malicious actors will discover and attack unidentified assets. Attackers can quickly search the entire internet for weak systems because of their own digital metamorphosis.

The practice of continually identifying, monitoring, and managing all internal and external internet-connected assets for possible attack vectors and exposures is known as attack surface management (ASM).

What is an Attack Surface?

Your attack surface consists of all the Internet-accessible hardware, software, SaaS, and cloud assets that process or store your data. Consider it as the entire amount of attack vectors that cybercriminals may employ to trick a network or system into providing them with access to data

Malicious infrastructure created by threat actors or hackers, including malware, typo squatted domains, and websites and mobile apps that use your domain as their own.

Assets that have been inventoried and maintained, such as your company’s website, servers, and the dependencies they support.

unknown resources Shadow IT, for example, or abandoned IT infrastructure set up outside the scope of your security team, such abandoned development websites, or marketing sites.

Third- and fourth-party suppliers significantly increase third-party risk and fourth-party risk, meaning that your attack surface does not end with your organization. Large data breaches can be caused by even minor suppliers, as demonstrated by the HVAC vendor who ultimately caused Target to expose the credit card and personal information of over 110 million customers.

How it works?

An attacker can acquire unauthorized access to a system or network by exploiting any number of entry points, loopholes, or other flaws; the more entry points a system or network has, the bigger its attack surface. Increasing attack surface visibility and lowering risk are the two main objectives of attack surface management.

ThreatCure® Managed Attack Surface Management

By giving organizations thorough views of their internal and external attack surfaces, including all access points, vulnerabilities, and possible attack pathways, ThreactCure Managed Attack surface management safeguards against cyberattacks. This enables businesses to find security flaws and fix them before an attacker can use them against them.
Knowing where these systems and devices have known flaws or vulnerabilities is the first step in vulnerability assessment.
The identification of every system and device linked to your network inside organization is the starting point covers under asset discovery.
Prioritizing threats entails locating potentially vulnerable devices and systems and creating mitigation plans.

Remediation

Remediation can take place in several different methods, depending on the type and seriousness of the vulnerability. Patching or upgrading software, setting up firewalls or other security measures, limiting access to certain resources, or decommissioning outdated systems or applications may all be part of the process. To prevent a recurrence or reintroduction of the vulnerability, remediation must be continuous.

A network, system, or application’s vulnerabilities or flaws must be corrected after they have been found. Remedial action is to lessen or completely eradicate the danger of possible cyberattacks or data breaches that could make use of these vulnerabilities.
