Staying Ahead of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Did you know for the average organization, their external attack surface fluctuates 9% every month? Hear from the CISO of Colgate-Palmolive as he talks about how continuous organization and asset discovery has helped him stay ahead of mergers and acquisitions, without the need to add seed data like IP ranges or CIDR blocks.
The CyCognito platform gives me an accurate snapshot of our security posture at the outset and then continues to provide me with updated information about our most critical vulnerabilities, along with guidance about how to remediate them. It's ideal for a new CISO who needs to quickly take stock of the security practices he or she has inherited, and continue to maintain visibility after that initial assessment.”
Internal Misuse Creates Risk
An engineer at a large international hospitality company created a basic Javascript web interface that allowed him to run commands on the mainframe and debug mainframe code from home. That interface was exposed to the internet, however, and if discovered by attackers, it would have allowed them access to the organization’s reservation system and customers’ personal information. The CyCognito platform allows security professionals to detect and curtail this type of misuse.
Start Eliminating Your Shadow Risks
CyCognito is solving one of the most fundamental business problems in cybersecurity: the need to understand how attackers view your organization, where they are most likely to break in, and how you can efficiently analyze, monitor and eliminate that risk.
