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.
Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a risk reduction strategy introduced by Gartner in 2021. Designed to significantly reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR), it relies on coordination of people, processes and technology. Choosing the right CTEM technology is critical to efficient implementation.
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.
Many organizations see the value of active testing across their external attack surface but don’t have the resources to execute it. CyCognito solves five key challenges for organizations looking to reduce external attack surface risk and lower their mean time to remediation (MTTR).
Vulnerability prioritization is the process of identifying and ranking vulnerabilities in order to focus efforts on the most important vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability remediation is the process of identifying and neutralizing security issues affecting cyber assets. Because these issues can cause millions of dollars in lost revenue, remediation costs, or fines if they result in a data breach or damage to cyber-infrastructure, vulnerability remediation is one of the most important parts of cybersecurity.
A series of MOVEit Transfer vulnerabilities have affected 520 organizations and over 32 million individuals. The Russian-speaking ransomware gang CL0P has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which date back to May 2023. Organizations that have not yet applied the patches across all instances are still at risk. CyCognito’s platform can help customers to find where MOVEit Transfer is being used across their attack surface and identify exposed risks.
