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.

Elevate your security posture and stay ahead of potential threats with CSURFACE’s comprehensive EASM platform. By providing detailed visibility, continuous monitoring, and actionable insights, CSURFACE ensures that your organization can effectively manage unmanaged assets, detect shadow IT, and respond to vulnerabilities promptly.
