Posture Perfection
Elevate Security Health with CSURFACE
Achieving a robust security posture is paramount in today’s dynamic threat landscape. An External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform like CSURFACE can significantly elevate your organization’s security health by providing comprehensive visibility and actionable insights into unmanaged assets, shadow IT, and potential vulnerabilities. By leveraging intelligent information, CSURFACE helps organizations improve their overall security posture and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Mean Time to Discover (MTTD), Mean Time to Identify (MTTI), Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), and Mean Time to Fix (MTTF).
How CSURFACE Elevates
Security Posture
1 . Managing Unmanaged Assets
CSURFACE automatically discovers and catalogs all internet-facing assets, including those that are unmanaged or part of shadow IT. This ensures that every asset, even those belonging to different cost centers or subsidiaries, is brought under the cybersecurity team’s oversight promptly.
2. Shadow IT Detection
The platform continuously monitors for unauthorized or unknown devices and services, identifying shadow IT that could introduce vulnerabilities into your network. This visibility is crucial for mitigating risks associated with unsanctioned technology use.
3. Attack Surface Reduction
By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities across all assets, CSURFACE helps reduce your overall attack surface. This proactive approach minimizes potential entry points for attackers.
4 . Accelerated Vulnerability Detection
CSURFACE integrates with vulnerability databases and continuously scans your environment for newly published vulnerabilities. This allows for rapid identification and assessment of risks, ensuring that your security team can respond quickly.
5 . Intelligent Information
The platform provides detailed insights and contextual information about each detected vulnerability, including CVSS scores, exploit availability, and remediation steps. This helps prioritize and address the most critical issues efficiently.
Key KPIs to Measure Security Posture
1 . MTTD (Mean Time to Discover)
Definition
The average time it takes for a new asset to be discovered and managed by the cybersecurity team.
Importance
Quickly bringing new assets under management reduces the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit unmonitored devices.
CSURFACE’s Role
Automated discovery ensures that all assets, even those from different cost centers or subsidiaries, are identified swiftly, enhancing MTTD.
2 . MTTI (Mean Time to Identify):
Definition
The average time it takes to identify a vulnerability in the exposed environment after its publication.
Importance
Rapid identification of vulnerabilities minimizes the time attackers have to exploit them.
CSURFACE’s Role
Continuous monitoring and integration with vulnerability databases ensure that new vulnerabilities are identified as soon as they are published, improving MTTI.
3 .MTTR (Mean Time to Respond)
Definition
The average time it takes to respond to a newly discovered vulnerability or a zero-day exploit.
Importance
Prompt response to vulnerabilities can prevent exploitation and reduce potential damage.
CSURFACE’s Role
The platform provides actionable insights and automated workflows to facilitate quick response and remediation, enhancing MTTR.
4 . MTTF (Mean Time to Fix)
Definition
The average time it takes to remediate a detected vulnerability.
Importance
Reducing the time to fix vulnerabilities minimizes exposure and strengthens overall security.
CSURFACE’s Role
Detailed remediation guidance and prioritization help accelerate the vulnerability fixing process, improving MTTF.
Importance of Measuring KPIs and Their Relation to Security Posture
Measuring these KPIs is essential for understanding and improving your security posture. Each KPI provides critical insights into different aspects of your security operations:
MTTD
Reflects how quickly new assets are brought under management, indicating the efficiency of asset discovery processes.
MTTI
Highlights the speed at which vulnerabilities are identified, showcasing the effectiveness of your vulnerability detection mechanisms.
MTTR
Measures the responsiveness of your security team to new threats, reflecting the agility and readiness of your incident response capabilities.
MTTF
By continuously monitoring and improving these KPIs, organizations can ensure a more robust and proactive security posture. CSURFACE’s EASM platform provides the tools and insights needed to optimize these metrics, enhancing overall security health.
