Why Attack Surface Discovery Tools Matter

To effectively protect themselves from major threats and minimize cyber risks, organisations must fully understand their digital assets and systems. These could be targeted by unauthorised users looking to exploit weaknesses. However, gaining comprehensive visibility into all potential entry points in an attack surface is a significant challenge in today’s dynamic and distributed IT environments.

How Can Continuous Asset Monitoring Protect Critical Assets?

The increase in cyberattacks increases year-on-year with attacks being more and more sophisticated. It’s a daunting task for security teams to adapt security strategies to proactively mitigate threats against the backdrop of a shortage of cybersecurity talent and budgets stretched. This is leading to organisations adopting proactive defence strategies using tools with continuous monitoring capabilities.

How to Secure IT Assets: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the age of attack surface expansion, securing IT assets is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. IT and cybersecurity leaders must protect their organisation’s digital assets from increasing cyber threats. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, according to their report. This underscores the importance of having a robust security strategy in place.

What is Cybersecurity Risk Management?

In the constantly evolving world of digital technology, cybersecurity risk management is a critical pillar in any organization. By effectively managing cybersecurity risk, you reduce incidents and the costs resulting from data breaches. However, cybersecurity risk management involves many different elements. It’s helpful to have an understanding of these aspects in order to leverage cybersecurity risk management to its fullest potential.

The Complete Vulnerability Assessment Checklist

Vulnerability assessments—as part of your company’s vulnerability management strategy—are an essential step. Through a vulnerability assessment, your organization can find critical vulnerabilities and keep your assets safe. But it is not always clear where to start with such assessments. Accordingly, this blogpost provides a comprehensive checklist for performing vulnerability assessments; in addition, it addresses both organizations and security testers.

Navigating the Shift: From Vulnerability Management to Continuous Threat Exposure Management

In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations face an ever-increasing barrage of threats. Traditional vulnerability management, while foundational, often falls short in proactively and continuously identifying and mitigating threats. This necessitates a paradigm shift towards Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a more dynamic approach that aligns with the complexities of today’s digital environments.

The Security Performance Management Evolution: Interview with Bitsight's Greg Kesen & Dark Reading

In this Dark Reading News Desk segment, Bitsight's Gregory Keshian discusses external attack surface management and security performance management. Greg reviews how the emerging discipline of security performance management (SPM) can better secure a company's attack surface. He offers guidance for how to mitigate problems and enumerates the major catalysts affecting attack surfaces, and how governance frameworks can be incorporated to ensure organizational compliance with state and federal laws.

Identifying Blind Spots Through External Attack Surface Management

Did you know that 69% of organizations have experienced some type of cyber attack in which the attack itself started through the exploit of an unknown, unmanaged, or poorly managed internet-facing asset? Understanding the scope of your organization’s external attack surface is essential. You need to continuously manage your digital footprint to know where risks exist and how to prioritize vulnerable areas. Gain visibility into what an attacker sees and take informed action to reduce exposure and empower your organization’s growth and success.
