Can Attack Surface Monitoring help me understand the risks posed by my subsidiaries?
Managing cybersecurity in large enterprises, especially those grown through mergers or acquisitions, is a huge challenge. Each subsidiary, however small, can be a gateway to the corporate network, making its vulnerability a risk for the entire parent company.
Our Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) service provides a crucial solution for understanding and mitigating the cybersecurity risks posed by your subsidiaries. It gives you the necessary visibility and control to manage these distributed environments effectively, even when subsidiaries operate with different IT infrastructures, cloud providers, or security practices.
Here's how our ASM service helps you understand and manage risks across your subsidiaries:
Unified Discovery of All Subsidiary Assets
Subsidiaries often operate with separate IT systems and cloud accounts, creating "blind spots" for parent companies and increasing risk. Our ASM service maps and inventories all digital assets for each subsidiary, leveraging continuous discovery.
Identifying Subsidiary-Specific Vulnerabilities and Misconfigurations
Subsidiaries often have unique security weaknesses from varying IT setups and legacy systems. These can include unpatched software, weak configurations, or exposed data. Our service continuously scans discovered subsidiary assets for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Centralized Risk Assessment and Prioritization Across the Enterprise
Parent companies struggle to consolidate risk and prioritize remediation across subsidiaries. Our ASM service offers a centralized dashboard to view aggregate attack surface risk by subsidiary, prioritizing critical vulnerabilities that could impact sensitive assets.
Consistent Security Oversight and Governance
Enforcing consistent security standards across diverse subsidiaries, especially after an acquisition, is challenging. Our ASM service establishes and monitors a security baseline for subsidiaries by continuously monitoring their attack surface.
Managing Merger & Acquisition-Related Risks
M&A poses significant cybersecurity risks due to unknown IT environments, unmanaged assets, and legacy vulnerabilities in newly acquired companies. Our ASM service mitigates this by offering rapid "outside-in" security assessments of target companies' internet-facing assets before integration, and continuous discovery and monitoring of the new subsidiary's digital footprint post-acquisition.
By implementing our Attack Surface Monitoring service, your organization gains unprecedented clarity and control over the cybersecurity risks associated with your subsidiaries. This enables you to proactively manage a complex, distributed attack surface, protect your entire enterprise from threats, and safeguard your reputation.
