A digital attack surface map is in order.
Ransomware was exposed by hackers who attacked a US oil pipeline. The White House was immediately alerted. Over the next few months, there were many government initiatives to improve security for international organisations. For best practices, cyber risk management was the main focus. Cybercriminals might have intended to compromise security but they didn't intend to enter Colonial Pipeline. While it is important to understand the importance of risk management, it is another to actually put it into practice. What should companies do first? It is essential to map and understand the digital attack surface. Trend micro research showed that only 51 percent were able do so. Others identified significant visibility gaps. What does an attacker's digital attack surface look like? An attack surface is a collection of all digital assets that could potentially be compromised by local or remote threat actors. This includes: • Laptops and computers • IoT endpoints • Websites and mobile/web apps • Remote desktop protocol (RDP) endpoints • Virtual private networks (VPNs), • Servers • Cloud services • Infrastructure and services to support supply chain management These networks can be attacked using multiple techniques, such as vulnerability exploitation or phishing. Once inside, they can move on to other areas of the attack surface. Trend Micro's 2021 roundup reports reveals just how vulnerable organizations are. Visibility is difficult Cybersecurity is founded on the principle that you can protect what you don’t see. This is an important first step in reducing the risk of serious compromise. It's not as simple as it seems. Our survey found that only 62% of respondents have visibility over the entire attack surface. This number could rise even further. Why is this happening? There could be many causes of the problem, including:

It's not as simple as it seems. Our survey found that only 62% of respondents have visibility over the entire attack surface. This number could rise even further. Why is this happening? There could be many causes of the problem, including: Man is without the right tools Information silos can be created by too many tools Opaque supply chains Cloud environments that are fluid, dynamic, and ephemeral Modern IT environments are complex and vast. They can also be distributed. Shadow IT and remote work increased during the pandemic. Platform-based Approach
- 2. It is becoming increasingly difficult to manage the growing attack surface due to a shortage of cybersecurity skills. Unsurprisingly, almost three quarters (73%) of IT and business leaders were concerned about the digital threat landscape. Nearly half (43%) believe that it is spiraling out of control, and more than half (54%) admit that their methods of assessing risk exposure are not up to the standard. CISOs need to be able to see all of their digital attack surfaces assets. This information can be used for risk calculation and will give them the tools to detect and prevent any threats. This is due to the fact that many tools may not be connected or overlapped. This can cause data silos and visibility gaps. This can lead to an excessive number of false positives. Security personnel often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of alerts to sort through. This can cause delays in detection, investigation and response to high -critical vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals have more time to attack from the inside. Platform-based approaches can be a great way to reap the benefits. One unified cybersecurity platform can provide a complete view of the attack landscape, and automatically assess risk exposure. It can also implement controls to decrease it. Security talent can concentrate on strategic tasks by receiving fewer high -fidelity alerts but less. This will align security and business goals, while reducing the costs of managing multiple solutions.
