A Forrester Thought Leadership Paper: Teamwork Shines a Light on Hidden External Risk

Unmanaged assets exposed to the internet represent critical hidden risks at tremendous scale for modern enterprises.

While most organizations feel they have this situation under control and are confident in their risk reduction practices across their external attack surfaces, the truth is the majority find a significant amount of unmanaged assets when they search for them and struggle to resolve this serious issue.

Join guest speaker Jess Burn, Senior Analyst at Forrester Consulting, as she provides a deep dive analysis of the results of a recent online study commissioned by CyCognito with 304 security and IT operations professionals to evaluate risk management practices related to external assets.

In this webinar, you will learn about these key findings:

• How collaboration challenges exacerbate threats related to unmanaged assets, thereby making these threats more difficult to identify, prioritize, and remediate
• How 81% of respondents to this survey fall short of executing security testing on their full inventory of assets despite considering security testing is important for risk management
• Why one in four respondents takes weeks or longer to respond to high-severity risks due to siloed use of multiple tools; 40% of respondents use more than 10 risk management tools
• Why a single source of truth based on automation and continuous business structure mapping, discovery of assets, security testing, and remediation planning is core to reducing risk
