Attack Surface Management

Why Should SecOps Pay More Attention to Network Data?

Trying to convince SecOps teams they need more data is like trying to convince a drowning person they need more water. SecOps teams are so overwhelmed they can’t even respond to 67% of the alerts they receive. On average, SecOps teams receive 4,484 alerts per day and spend over three hours per day manually triaging […]

Supercharge your SecOps with Network Insights

The problem is that the high-volume of data they are receiving lacks context. When you receive over 20,000 CVE announcements and over 1.5 million alerts, you do not need more data; what you need is actionable, timely data that provides context and a path for remediation.

Forward Enterprise is integrated with the NIST database and endpoint scanning solutions, Rapid7 and Tenable. This integration provides security teams a prioritized remediation report of the vulnerabilities that exist in their network ranked by exposure.

Join our co-founder, Nikhil Handigol on Thursday, August 24th at 2:00 p.m. EDT/11:00 a.m. PDT to see this in action.

During a live technical session, Nikhil will demonstrate our Tenable integration and highlight how the solution delivers complete attack surface visibility, empowering SecOps to proactively identify impacted hosts with critical vulnerabilities accessible from the Internet or other critical exposure points in seconds.

You’ll see how the integration with Tenable delivers an actionable exposed host report that incudes:

IPs
Vulnerable services
Risk score assigned by the vulnerability scanner
Number of critical vulnerabilities
Reachable services from the exposure point, including Layer 4 and Layer 7 details
Blast radius analysis for this host

Most importantly, Nikhil will demonstrate how a mathematical model of the network helps make the plethora of network vulnerability data actionable.

Register for your seat now. [If you miss the live session, it will be immediately available on-demand via that same link.]
