Now Available - Forrester Report: The Total Economic Impact™ Of The CyCognito Platform
CyCognito, the leader in external attack surface management, examines challenges facing Global 2000 companies in its exclusive report Anybody Got a Map? The Danger of Subsidiary Sprawl and Unknown Unknowns in External Attack Surface Management.
CyCognito reveals the unique challenges facing security teams as a direct result of a record number of mergers and acquisitions in 2021 - a trend expected to continue in 2022. The report, to be released during the 2022 RSA Conference, is designed to drive awareness among CISOs and security teams helping them keep pace with a fluctuating attack surface and related security issues.
These conditions make it extremely difficult for security and IT managers to have a 360 degree view of their entire external attack surface. This increases the odds of gaps in their attack surface going unseen, opening them up to dangerous and preventable risks such as Log4J.
CyCognito’s Anybody Got a Map? The Danger of Subsidiary Sprawl and Unknown Unknowns in External Attack Surface Management report also notes the potential privacy risks consumers face as they place trust in organizations who provide them with online applications to bank, pay bills and schedule appointments with health professionals.
“Web apps are high risk for business and consumers alike because they often contain personal identifiable information (PII). And too often we are seeing web apps go under-managed by security teams suffering from poor visibility into their attack surface because of digital asset sprawl,” said Ansh Patnaik, chief product officer, CyCognito.
CyCognito reports that these organizations have an average of 5,000 web apps each, representing up to 7 percent of their external attack surface assets. Of those web apps, PII was found in 9%, creating data risks and liability issues for organizations and their customers. Digital assets also include DevOps and SecOps tools, cloud products and device web interfaces.
Web apps are where most risk resides, Patnaik said. Top potential attack vectors include database focused SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting redirection risks.
CyCognito’s Anybody Got a Map? The Danger of Subsidiary Sprawl and Unknown Unknowns in External Attack Surface Management will be released at the 2022 RSA Conference at an offsite venue (The Veranda, directly adjacent to the Moscone Center South) at 3pm on Tuesday, June 7th.
