  • How can network digital twin technology address those challenges, and what are the benefits of using this technology

Organizations face an ever-expanding attack surface and a host of cyberthreats. Yet, most organizations have limited resources and lack effective solutions to fully understand and address their network security risks. This forces security leaders to find more efficient ways to analyze network security, identify risks and prioritize remediation. This is where reachability analysis and risk-based prioritization become crucial tools for optimizing cybersecurity strategies. 

Understanding reachability in the context of corporate risk is increasingly important for enterprises, as it can significantly influence their risk management strategies. To protect critical data and infrastructure from unauthorized access, organizations often implement firewalls and multiple layers of security. However, business objectives and the complexity of the security architecture necessitate that some of these assets are more reachable than others. This access hierarchy is known as reachability.
