An accurate external asset inventory forms the foundation for reduced exposure and risk. CyCognito’s unique approach to organizational reconnaissance, asset discovery, and contextualization provides IT Security teams with meaningful information that reduces time to remediation.
CyCognito Attack Surface Management (ASM) now offers the ability to discover APIs on an organization’s attack surface. Given the proliferation of APIs and their attractiveness to attackers, this capability is an important new tool for security teams. This post describes the issue and how CyCognito ASM solves it.
Achieving compliance for any sized organization is often time-consuming and stressful, forcing many security teams to divert their attention away from the tasks at hand. The value (and necessity) of achieving a successful audit efficiently cannot be understated, but the challenges are real. Using CyCognito to discover and test externally exposed assets and dynamically map issues to compliance frameworks provides the continuous visibility needed to streamline their work.
Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are the most common protection for web applications. WAFs protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between the application and the internet. However, WAFs need to be deployed and configured to protect web applications specifically. If they are not, this leaves open a potential route for an attacker.
Threat intelligence can feel like a firehose of data to security teams who are already struggling to keep their heads above water patching, fixing and hardening networks.
“Bad news, early” is a common business mindset designed to communicate urgency behind the need to identify small problems before they become big problems.
