You Can’t Defend the Assets You Can’t See
Understanding your cyber terrain is critical to knowing:
With more data and applications moving to the cloud, IoT and other emerging technologies, the attack surface continues to expand, giving adversaries more blind spots to leverage.
It is critical to understand your cyber terrain so that you can modify it with deception decoys to reduce dwell time and the impact a targeted attack can have on your organization.
Organizations continue to suffer breaches, oftentimes because they do not have continuous, real-time visibility of all their critical assets and software. Ensuring a terrain based cyber defense means you know all of the authorized and unauthorized devices and software within your environment – the Center for Internet Security ranks these as the top two Critical Controls for Effective Cyber Defense. Fidelis Elevate® streamlines your security stack, with asset classification and profiling built into the platform to provide:
You can further enhance and expand on your cyber terrain visibility by importing third party asset profiles and classifications.
Most cyber security teams do not have an accurate and current inventory of their cyber terrain and often work with blind spots to defend and protect. Either a lack of information or separated solution silos prevents visibility of current assets, software, services, communications and known vulnerabilities.
Progressive use of segmentation prevents full visibility from the outside, often rendering external scans incomplete. By shifting the ability to map cyber terrain information to endpoints and network sensors, you gain a more complete and continuous assessment.
