Security teams can proactively identify and address potential threats before they exploit vulnerabilities by understanding the differences between vulnerability and exposure management and learning about Gartner’s continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach. To learn more, explore these resources.
APIs, the unseen connections powering modern apps, can be vulnerable entry points for attackers. Weak API security exposes sensitive data and critical functions, potentially leading to breaches and disruptions. By implementing robust API security measures, businesses safeguard these vital pathways, ensuring data confidentiality, system integrity, and smooth operation. This protects user trust and avoids costly security incidents.
Application security (AppSec) involves safeguarding applications against threats throughout their lifecycle. This encompasses the entire process from design to deployment, ensuring that applications remain resilient against cyber threats. Implementing AppSec requires addressing vulnerabilities through tools and methodologies including secure coding practices, automated testing, penetration testing, and security assessments.
Attack surface analysis is the process of identifying, cataloging, and evaluating all the points where an attacker could penetrate, extract data from, or cause damage to an environment. By conducting attack surface analysis, organizations can understand how an attacker could gain access to your organization and help develop effective strategies to protect against security weaknesses.
A digital risk protection service (DRPS) is a cybersecurity solution that provides visibility and defense against threats facing an organization’s digital attack surfaces. It monitors various threat vectors including social media, dark web forums, and other online platforms to detect risks that could harm an organization.
Exposure management is a set of processes and technical solutions which allow organizations to assess the visibility, accessibility, and risk factors of their digital assets. There are two core component of an exposure management strategy: a Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework and a Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA).
Penetration (“pen testing”) is a security practice where a real-world attack on an organization’s digital asset is simulated to uncover security gaps that an attacker could exploit. Pen testing is a requirement for several regulatory regimes including Payment Card Industry (PCI), Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system. It provides valuable insights into potential weaknesses that can be exploited by malicious actors and presents strategies to mitigate these risks. This process is not limited to IT systems; it also applies to physical locations, personnel, and procedural vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability management is a comprehensive approach to identifying, evaluating, treating, and reporting on security vulnerabilities in systems and the software they run. It involves a continuous cycle of discovery, prioritization, and remediation to protect an organization's digital assets from potential threats.
In a short demo video see how the CyCognito platform uses nation-state-scale reconnaissance and offensive security techniques to close the gaps left by other security solutions including attack surface management products, vulnerability scanners, penetration testing, and security ratings services.
CyCognito solves one of the most fundamental business problems in cybersecurity: seeing how attackers view your organization, where they are most likely to break in, what systems and assets are at risk and how you can eliminate the exposure.
Founded by national intelligence agency veterans, CyCognito has a deep understanding of how attackers exploit blind spots and a path of least resistance. Based in Palo Alto, CyCognito serves a number of large enterprises and Fortune 500 organizations, including Colgate-Palmolive, Tesco and many others.
