Cybersecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is more complex than ever. Organizations face an overwhelming number of security tools, yet cyber threats continue to escalate. Many businesses rely on disconnected solutions that create security gaps rather than filling them. To combat these challenges, businesses need a framework integrating multiple strategies into a single, continuous process.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, organizations must adopt robust strategies to protect their digital assets and maintain a strong security posture. Two key approaches in this endeavor are Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Attack Surface Management (ASM).

Exposure Management

In today's digital landscape, cyber threats are more sophisticated and persistent than ever before. As organizations strive to protect their digital assets, Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) has become an essential practice. One key element that significantly enhances CTEM is agent-based scanning.

MSSP

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, organizations face an ever-growing array of threats and vulnerabilities. To combat these challenges effectively, businesses require robust, comprehensive solutions that not only identify risks but also provide actionable insights to mitigate them.

MSSP

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, Managed Service and Security Providers (MSSPs) are increasingly vital to the security architectures of diverse organizations worldwide. However, the complexity of managing numerous security solutions across multiple clients presents significant challenges that can compromise the effectiveness of MSSPs.

Exposure Management

Identity security is a major pillar for any security angle, especially for exposure management. Attackers target identities so they can move laterally and obtain privileges throughout the organization. At the core of every identity are properties and attributes, which can be exploited by attackers, with ease in many cases.

Vulnerability management is not a new concept. It might be one of the oldest security concepts for organizations, to be honest. However, vulnerability management might be one of the most misunderstood areas of security for most organizations due to the overwhelming number of vulnerabilities that all organizations face.

Drift Happens! No matter the size of the organization or security staff, nor the monitoring of changes to every device, drift is going to occur. Do you know when everyone on your team makes a change, installs software, tweaks a service on every asset? What if someone installs 5 different software solutions on an asset…

Often, I see security solutions that are just “guessing” at what needs to be secured. Sure, there is knowledge, experience, and expertise behind the solution. However, when industry standards can be incorporated, it proves that the security solution is considering the massive expertise and analysis that has gone behind the security standardization and recommendations.  

Exposure Management

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a category that was designated by Gartner, is trending to be one of the hottest topics in 2023. Gartner has stated that CTEM is designed to secure digital and physical assets for any sized organization. Gartner states “By 2026, organizations that prioritize their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be 3x less likely to suffer a breach.”

Cybersecurity

In the realm of cybersecurity evolution, Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) emerges as a transformative approach, surpassing traditional vulnerability management. Developed by Gartner, CTEM's proactive security posture remediation plan navigates five core stages: scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization, ensuring adaptability in the face of evolving cyber threats.

Exposure Management

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation, businesses grapple with escalating cybersecurity risks, prompting a departure from traditional Vulnerability Management to the more dynamic Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). The traditional approach of Vulnerability Management, centered on identifying and remediating known vulnerabilities, falls short in the face of today's complex IT environments. Manual remediation planning and passive identification lead to inaccurate risk assessments, necessitating a shift to a more robust and adaptive cybersecurity strategy.

Cybersecurity

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a new and expansive view of enterprise security. The legacy vulnerability management solutions and approach is still valid, just not comprehensive enough to truly protect an enterprise. With enterprises under attack from internal and external threat actors, every advantage the organization can gain to secure every avenue the threat actor might act upon could mean the difference between being breached and subverting the attack.

Cybersecurity

Clone phishing is an evolving and increasingly sophisticated form of cyber attack that involves the criminal cloning a legitimate email or any other type of online communication sent by an organisation. By replicating the original message, a scammer can attempt to mislead recipients into opening malicious links, downloading compromised files, or divulging confidential information. This deceptive practice has become more common in recent years as technological advances have enabled attackers to easily craft imitation emails with convincing accuracy and bypass standard spam filters.

Cybersecurity

Configuration management is an integral part of cyber security for businesses and organisations. It helps protect critical business systems and data from digital threats, ensuring safe production environment operations, the integrity of sensitive customer information, and compliance with industry regulations.

Cybersecurity

In today's digitally-driven world, cybersecurity has become increasingly vital. As technology rapidly evolves and permeates every aspect of our daily lives, cyber threats seeking to exploit these advancements also multiply. Maintaining robust cybersecurity measures is a crucial component of any organisation's security strategy, playing a pivotal role in safeguarding businesses from hackers, viruses, malware, ransomware, and other potential dangers. This process involves identifying vulnerabilities within systems and addressing them to reduce the likelihood of breaches or attacks.

Vulnerability Management

In the digital age, cyber security is more important than ever. As technology continues to advance and become an integral part of our daily lives, so do the threats that seek to exploit it. Staying on top of cybersecurity is an essential part of any organisation’s security plan and plays a key role in protecting your business from hackers, viruses, malware, ransomware and other threats. It helps to identify weaknesses within systems as well as patching them up to minimise the risk of a breach or attack.

It goes without saying that every business relies heavily on its network connection. In fact, it’s believed that almost 97% of businesses in the world cannot operate without a connection to the web. Without one, not only do you run the risk of disruption to everyday operations, but there can also be financial repercussions if customers and clients are unable to access services or products due to a slowed-down or non-functioning network.

Cybersecurity

Everyone knows that cybersecurity is a crucial component of ensuring the safety and protection of your business, its data, and its customers. Unfortunately, not everyone has the level of understanding necessary to build an effective cybersecurity strategy. There are many different ways a business or individual can improve the strength of their online security and figuring out the best place to start can be overwhelming, confusing or downright terrifying, but it doesn’t have to be.
