Introducing BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics Feature

Today, organizations face increasing challenges in managing and securing their attack surface. Attack Surface Discovery is a critical component of the Attack Surface Management process, helping security practitioners understand the full extent of asset exposure. However, merely discovering assets is not enough. Security teams need tools that not only identify these assets but also provide actionable insights into their risks, allowing for faster remediation. BreachLock introduces Attack Surface Analytics to help solve this problem by transforming raw asset data into meaningful intelligence, enabling organizations to prioritize and address inherent risks more effectively.

BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics feature reduces the time and effort security teams exhaust trying to identify these inherent risks associated with domains, subdomains, IP addresses, ports, and technologies. By integrating visual and data-rich insights with its Asset Discovery process, BreachLock offers a more streamlined approach to identifying and prioritise inherent risks. Highly detailed analytics help to accelerate risk identification and remediation within Asset Discovery and the assets tested.

Introducing BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics Feature

BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics feature stands out by offering a highly detailed and intuitive visual representation of assets identified through the Asset Discovery process. It transforms raw asset data into visual intelligence, making it easier for security practitioners to analyze, understand, and respond to risks. The feature includes:

• A cumulative view of key assets and core relation: View the essential correlation between domains, subdomains, IP addresses and ports, and associated technologies, providing clear visibility of the assets and the potential risks they introduce.

• Comprehensive asset intelligence and inherent risks at a glance: The most notable aspect of BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics feature is its ability to provide detailed insights with just one click. This streamlined approach means that security practitioners no longer need to sift through disparate data points across different tools. Instead, BreachLock consolidates all relevant information into a single view, making it faster and easier to assess potential inherent risks.

• Subdomains and visibility of inherent risk: For example, each subdomain is presented in a cumulative view under the domain selected, with key risk indicators like the presence of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and whether it is enabled or disabled. It also includes active security certificates displayed alongside under Technologies. If a subdomain’s WAF is disabled or if a security certificate is inactive, the platform immediately highlights this inherent risk to the user. This level of visibility allows security practitioners to quickly prioritize inherent risks, reducing the overall time to remediate.

• Vulnerable IP addresses and ports: Discover whether the IP address associated with a specific domain is reachable or not and the ports associated with that IP. If an IP address is unreachable or if a port is open that shouldn’t be, the platform flags these issues immediately. By providing this information at a glance, BreachLock helps security practitioners quickly assess the security health of their infrastructure.

• Analyzing technologies and certificates: One of the key benefits of the Attack Surface Analytics features is its ability to identify and analyze the technologies used within a subdomain. By highlighting deprecated technologies, security practitioners can quickly spot and address outdated software that could contain inherent security risks. The platform also examines associated certificates, providing detailed information on whether the subdomain has an active security certificate, the Ciphersuite used in the certificate, and the TLS version. This capability is particularly valuable for organizations that handle sensitive data or require compliance with industry regulations. If the most recent TLS version is not being used or if the security certificate is not active, it can alert security teams to update security protocols and to mitigate this risk quickly.

• Reducing risk with intelligent filters: A user-friendly filtering capability allows users to drill down into specific assets of interest. This helps prioritize risk management efforts by filtering by assets with the most critical vulnerabilities. For examples, users can filter assets based on domain, subdomain, or the status of their associated WAF (enabled or disabled WAFs) or security certificate (active, expired, or not found).

• Level of granularity: The granularity of detail ensures that security practitioners don’t get lost in the noise of low-priority issues but can instead concentrate their efforts where they matter most. This ability to filter and focus attention on inherent risks ensures that vulnerabilities are addressed more swiftly, reducing the organization’s exposure to potential attacks.

Faster Risk Remediation: Making Inherent Risk Clear and Visible

When it comes to Attack Surface Management, accuracy and speed are lifesavers. The longer vulnerabilities exist within an organization’s attack surface, the greater the chance of exploitation. BreachLock’s advanced Attack Surface Analytics feature significantly reduces the time it takes to identify and mitigate inherent risks by presenting users with a detailed overview and clear visibility of their Asset Discovery findings along with actionable data.

1. Accelerate remediation and reduce risk: The BreachLock Platform accelerates the remediation process by offering an intuitive, easy-to-navigate analytics interface and cumulative view of their Asset Discovery while guiding users through the inherent risks associated with each asset.
2. Act quick and efficiently: The ability to visualize asset relationships, combined with detailed analytics for each subdomain, IP address, and associated technology, provides security practitioners with quick but accurate insights to act quickly and efficiently.
3. Faster decision-making: Foster better collaboration among DevSecOps teams by providing a single source for asset intelligence. BreachLock enables different teams to work from the same data sets, ensuring that everyone is aligned with the organization’s risk profile. The visual nature of the analytics breaks down silos and improves communication, facilitates faster decision-making amongst teams, empowers organizations to address risks more relationally, and ensures that no vulnerability slips through the cracks.

BreachLock’s Attack Surface Analytics feature offers a powerful solution for organizations seeking to not only identify their assets but also the risks associated with them. By providing a detailed visual overview of assets and their inherent risks, BreachLock enables security practitioners to prioritize and remediate risks identified through Asset Discovery more effectively. For any business looking to bolster their security posture, BreachLock’s advanced Attack Surface Analytics is not just a feature but a necessity.
