While today’s malicious attackers pursue a variety of goals, they share a preferred channel of attack—the millions of custom web, mobile, and cloud applications companies deploy to serve their customers. AppSpider dynamically assesses these applications for vulnerabilities across all modern technologies, provides tools that speed remediation and monitors applications for changes. Keep your applications safe and secure—now and moving forward. KNOW YOUR WEAK POINTS AppSpider automatically finds vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications— from the relatively simple to the most complex—and it includes unique capabilities and integrations that enable teams to automate more of the security testing program across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), from creation through production. Coverage is the first step to scanner accuracy. Scanners were originally built with a crawl and attack architecture, but crawling doesn’t work for web services and other dynamic technologies. AppSpider can still crawl traditional name=value pair formats like HTML, but it also has a Universal Translator that can interpret the new technologies being used in today’s web and mobile applications (AJAX, GWT, REST, JSON, etc.). With AppSpider, you can: • Close the coverage gap with our Universal Translator • Intelligently simulate real-world attacks • Continuously monitor your applications • Stay authenticated for deep assessment AppSpider includes interactive actionable reports that prioritize the highest risk and streamline remediation efforts by enabling users to quickly get to and analyze the data that matters most. With one click, you can drill deep into a vulnerability to get more information and replay attacks in real-time. Sifting through pages and pages of vulnerabilities in a PDF report takes too much time. AppSpider provides interactive, actionable reports that behave like web pages with an intuitive organization and links for deeper analysis. The analysis doesn’t have to be tedious: Findings are organized and consolidated by attack types (XSS, SQLi, etc.), and with one click, you can drill deep into a vulnerability to get more information. AppSpider’s sophisticated reports reduce remediation time and streamline communication with developers. With AppSpider, you can: • Conduct deeper analysis with interactive reports • Quickly replay web attacks • Categorize applications for easy reporting In order to improve your overall security posture, you need a high-level view of your application security program that enables you to see where things stand. AppSpider enables centralized control, automation, and interoperability over all aspects of your enterprise web application security program, including continuous scanning configuration, user permissions, scheduling, and monitoring. In addition, AppSpider includes trends and analyze data to help collaborate with all stakeholders toward improved security posture. Time is critical when remediating vulnerabilities. Using innovative automated rule generation, AppSpider’s defensive capabilities help security professionals patch web application vulnerabilities almost immediately—in a matter of minutes, instead of days or weeks. Without the need to build a custom rule for a web application firewall (WAF) or intrusion prevention system (IPS), or the need to deliver a source code patch, our software allows you the time to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it in the code. With AppSpider, you can: • Manage and control application security programs • Automate targeted virtual patching • Meet compliance requirements • Integrate into your DevSecOps workflow
Identify application risks quickly and painlessly
With InsightAppSec, there’s no installation of on-premise components required—just log in and start scanning. The intuitive workflows make it easy for you to test your applications without the steep learning curve. Simple doesn’t mean less powerful though—scans in InsightAppSec can be configured to meet your testing needs and ensure comprehensive coverage of your applications. Scan coverage in modern applications and APIs can be a problem for some DAST tools, but InsightAppSec’s scan engine has been developed with these challenges in mind and proven to overcome them.
You’ll not only save time thanks to the easy-to-learn interface, you’ll also avoid the time-consuming training that other DAST tools require in order to get good coverage of your applications. Although InsightAppSec lives in the cloud, it can also scan your internal apps (like pre-production instances), with a scan engine deployed on premise. All your results are stored in the cloud, so that you have a single view of all your application vulnerabilities.
With InsightAppSec, you can:
Get up and running in minutes
Crawl and attack your modern applications and APIs
Scan external and internal applications
Manage your app portfolio at a glance
Web applications these days are rarely monolithic. They have complex multi-component architectures (like decoupled front ends that interface with micro-services that transact with the backend), as well as multiple instances (like development, pre-production, and production). InsightAppSec provides the flexibility to configure scans to optimize coverage and testing for each individual aspect of an application, whether it’s an API or a Single Page Application (SPA) front end.
Even though the components may be completely different technologies, to your organization they are still considered parts of the same application, which is why InsightAppSec is designed to group scan targets into application portfolios. All scans for an application, its components, and instances appear in a single application portfolio view, making scan management simple. The Live Vulnerability View provides a single, concise view of scan results for an application portfolio and displays an always up-to-date listing of vulnerabilities detected in your app portfolios. With rich historical information provided for each vulnerability, you’ll have the context to make critical prioritization decisions.
With InsightAppSec, you can:
Group scan targets into application portfolios
View all vulnerabilities across multiple scans and scan targets in a single view
Use Live Vulnerability View to quickly filter down results and dynamically assign status and severity to reflect your priorities
Share actionable insights resulting in the right fix
Exposing application security vulnerabilities is a vital step towards reducing your application security risk. Managing that risk also requires keeping various stakeholders informed and arming your development teams with the actionable information they need to fix vulnerabilities. InsightAppSec provides detailed technical information on each identified vulnerability along with recommendations to remediate it. Reports can be custom-tailored for the audience, whether it be executive stakeholders who need an at-a-glance overview of application security risk, or developers who need technical details to remediate. The Attack Replay feature also empowers developers to confirm vulnerabilities on their own. Static reports aren’t always enough to prove to development that a vulnerability exists; Attack Replay makes it possible for developers to reproduce the issue on their own, and after a fix is implemented, test it immediately.
With InsightAppSec, you can:
Take action by leveraging detailed explanations of vulnerabilities, with technical details and remediation recommendations
Generate tailored reports of vulnerabilities for various business stakeholders
Empower developers with Attack Replay so they can confirm vulnerabilities on their own and test their fixes immediately

Rapid7’s InsightIDR is your security center for incident detection and response, authentication monitoring, and endpoint visibility. InsightIDR identifies unauthorized access from external and internal threats, and highlights suspicious activity so you don’t have to weed through thousands of data streams.
InsightIDR combines the full power of endpoint forensics, log search, and sophisticated dashboards into a single solution. It is a Software as a Service (SaaS) tool that collects data from your existing network security tools, authentication logs, and endpoint devices. InsightIDR then aggregates the data at an on-premises Collector or a dedicated host machine that centralizes your data.
Use this Collector to gather and transmit your logs securely to AWS, which hosts customer databases and the web interface. Rapid7 runs analytics on this data to correlate users, accounts, authentications, alerts, and privileges. The analysis provides insight into user behavior while searching for known indicators of compromise.
Rapid7 recommends keeping dedicated Collectors on-premises to collect event data, log data, and endpoint data.
When you connect all of the various data streams to InsightIDR, you can take advantage of all the following built-in features made with users in mind:
Unify your data into a single security view
Analyze raw logs, endpoint data, and network traffic
Receive alerts for suspicious activity
Prioritize events
Investigate events
Unify your data into a single security view
Track user network resources, their devices, and their visited cloud services. InsightIDR normalizes network data and attributes it to users, so you know the origin, owner, and time of event.
Analyze raw logs, endpoint data, and network traffic
InsightIDR collects data streams from every possible place, and brings them together in one convenient place for you to analyze. Sift through raw logs, visualize your endpoint data, or organize your network traffic from users.
Receive alerts for suspicious activity
Whether or not suspicious activity is happening on your network, InsightIDR sets up traps that alert you of security gaps.
Prioritize events
Because traffic and data is normalized, InsightIDR automatically prioritizes network events and brings notable events to your attention. InsightIDR filters out non-critical events so you focus on the important ones.
Investigate events
In the event of a breach, security teams will have contextual information of compromised data, time of event, and possible next actions of the intruder.
InsightVM provides a fully available, scalable, and efficient way to collect your vulnerability data, turn it into answers, and minimize risk. InsightVM leverages the latest analytics and endpoint technology to discover vulnerabilities in a real-time view, pinpoint their location, prioritize them for your business, facilitate collaboration with other teams, and confirm your exposure has been reduced
Secure Your Modern Network
Adapt to your modern network with full visibility of your ecosystem, prioritization of risk using attacker-based analytics, and SecOps-powered remediation. Pair that with unparalleled, ongoing research of the attacker mindset, and you’ll be ready to act before impact.
Collect Data Across Your Ecosystem
• Continuous Endpoint Monitoring Using the Insight Agent
The Rapid7 Insight Agent automatically collects data from all your endpoints, even those from remote workers and sensitive assets that cannot be actively scanned, or that rarely join the corporate network. Pair InsightVM with Rapid7 InsightIDR to get a complete picture of the risks posed by your endpoints and their users.
• Liveboards, Not Static Dashboards
Drawing from fresh vulnerability data, InsightVM Liveboards are live and interactive by nature. You can easily create custom, tailored cards and full dashboards for anyone—from sysadmins to CISOs—and query each card with simple language to track progress of your security program. Visualize, prioritize, assign, and fix your exposures more easily than ever before.
• Cloud, Virtual, and Container Assessment
InsightVM integrates with cloud services, virtual infrastructure, and container repositories like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and VMware to make sure you don’t miss any new instances and Docker containers that are brought online. You can also correlate deployed containers to assets, so you can secure both containers and container hosts—all at no additional cost. Prioritize Using Attacker Analytics
• Attacker-Based Risk Analysis
Prioritize risk the way attackers would. InsightVM translates decades of attacker knowledge into proven analytics. The granular, 1-1000 Real Risk score takes into account CVSS scores, malware exposure, exploit exposure and ease of use, and vulnerability age. This makes it simpler—and more precise than CVSS alone—to prioritize vulnerabilities for remediation. Rapid7 Project Sonar data and threat feeds translate to dashboards within InsightVM, so you can understand which external network doors you’re missing and which vulnerabilities attackers are actively exploiting.
• Live Remediation Planning
Once the most critical vulnerabilities are brought to the surface, assign and track remediation duties in real time with Remediation Workflows. InsightVM integrates with IT ticketing solutions like Atlassian Jira and ServiceNow, making it easy for IT to take action. InsightVM also integrates with Rapid7 InsightConnect, our security orchestration and automation platform, to bring automation and prioritization to the patching process.
Remediate with SecOps Agility
To move faster and more securely, you need to go beyond scanning in silos. InsightVM is built to enable collaboration with IT operations and developers through shared visibility, analytics, and automation. What does this look like in practice? InsightVM integrates with IT’s existing workflows and ticketing systems to provide remediation instructions with context, thus accelerating remediation, and provides actionable reporting on program progress for every audience—from IT and compliance to the C-Suite. On the development side of the house, InsightVM lets you assess containers to ensure services are secure before they go into production, and the Rapid7 Insight Agent helps infrastructure teams automatically assess new cloud infrastructure as soon as it goes live.
Know Your Weak Points
It’s vital to find your vulnerabilities before a malicious attacker does.
Utilize world's largest exploit database
Leading the Metasploit project gives Rapid7 unique insights into the latest attacker methods and mindset. Rapid7 works with the community to add an average of 1 new exploit per day, currently counting more than 1,300 exploits and more than 2,000 modules.
Simulate real-world attacks against your defenses
Metasploit evades leading anti-virus solutions 90% of the time and enables you to completely take over a machine you have compromised from over 200 modules. Pivot throughout your network to find out just how far an attacker can get.
Uncover weak and reused credentials
Test your network for weak and reused passwords. Going beyond just cracking operating system accounts, Metasploit Pro can run brute–force attacks against over 20 account types, including databases, web servers, and remote administration solutions. In addition, it can utilize specialized tools designed to expose credentials' scope and effectively gauge impact of an exposed credential.
Prioritize What Matters Most
Finding your weak points is only half the battle. As a penetration tester, it is your job to perform a thorough assessment and communicate what needs to be done to reduce the risk of a breach.
Pinpoint weak links in the attack chain
Attacks are more sophisticated today; the adversary is using multiple techniques combined to breach your systems faster than ever. With Metasploit Pro, you can simulate attacks like the adversary and easily report the biggest security risks.
Closed-loop integration with Nexpose for remediation
When other departments question the validity of scan results, demonstrate that a vulnerability puts systems and data at risk of compromise. You'll get quick buy–in for remediation measures and build credibility with stakeholders. Metasploit and Nexpose provide the only closed-loop validation solution from a single vendor that simplifies vulnerability prioritization and remediation reporting.
Drive Better Security Program Development
Time is of the essence. Automation, proactive user education, and advanced reporting will enhance your team’s efficiency, productivity, and success.
Run penetration projects at scale
Conducting an assessment and managing data in networks with over 100 hosts can be challenging. Metasploit Pro scales to support thousands of hosts per project on engagements and multiple penetration testers. Automate penetration testing steps with Task Chains and MetaModules to improve productivity.
Reduce user risk using phishing campaigns and education
Send and track emails to thousands of users with Metasploit Pro's scalable phishing campaigns. Clone web application login pages with one click to harvest credentials. Measure conversion rates at each step in the phishing campaign funnel. When users take a dangerous action, they can be redirected to a training site on the spot. With InsightUBA, any users who have been phished will also be automatically added to the InsightUBA watch list.
Complete compliance programs faster
Generate reports to show your findings and sort them by regulations such as PCI DSS and FISMA. Verify that remediations or compensating controls implemented to protect systems are operational and effective. Create vulnerability exceptions based on hard evidence that easily pass your next audit. Automatically record actions and findings from your network and application–layer assessment to save valuable time otherwise spent on cutting and pasting.
Data breaches are growing at an alarming rate. Your attack surface is constantly changing, the adversary is becoming more nimble than your security teams, and your board wants to know what you are doing about it. Nexpose gives you the confidence you need to understand your attack surface, focus on what matters, and create better security outcomes.
You can’t reduce risk if you can’t find, validate, and contextualize it. Nexpose dynamically discovers your complete attack surface and finds vulnerabilities you are missing today. Understand your threat exposure by determining if your vulnerabilities can be exploited and if your compensating controls are deployed successfully. Contextualize the risks to get a true picture of them as they align to your modern digital business.

Keep your applications safe and secure—now and moving forward. KNOW YOUR WEAK POINTS AppSpider automatically finds vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications— from the relatively simple to the most complex—and it includes unique capabilities and integrations that enable teams to automate more of the security testing program across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), from creation through production. Coverage is the first step to scanner accuracy. Scanners were originally built with a crawl and attack architecture, but crawling doesn’t work for web services and other dynamic technologies. AppSpider can still crawl traditional name=value pair formats like HTML, but it also has a Universal Translator that can interpret the new technologies being used in today’s web and mobile applications (AJAX, GWT, REST, JSON, etc.). With AppSpider, you can: • Close the coverage gap with our Universal Translator • Intelligently simulate real-world attacks • Continuously monitor your applications • Stay authenticated for deep assessment AppSpider includes interactive actionable reports that prioritize the highest risk and streamline remediation efforts by enabling users to quickly get to and analyze the data that matters most. With one click, you can drill deep into a vulnerability to get more information and replay attacks in real-time. Sifting through pages and pages of vulnerabilities in a PDF report takes too much time. AppSpider provides interactive, actionable reports that behave like web pages with an intuitive organization and links for deeper analysis. The analysis doesn’t have to be tedious: Findings are organized and consolidated by attack types (XSS, SQLi, etc.), and with one click, you can drill deep into a vulnerability to get more information. AppSpider’s sophisticated reports reduce remediation time and streamline communication with developers. With AppSpider, you can: • Conduct deeper analysis with interactive reports • Quickly replay web attacks • Categorize applications for easy reporting In order to improve your overall security posture, you need a high-level view of your application security program that enables you to see where things stand. AppSpider enables centralized control, automation, and interoperability over all aspects of your enterprise web application security program, including continuous scanning configuration, user permissions, scheduling, and monitoring. In addition, AppSpider includes trends and analyze data to help collaborate with all stakeholders toward improved security posture. Time is critical when remediating vulnerabilities. Using innovative automated rule generation, AppSpider’s defensive capabilities help security professionals patch web application vulnerabilities almost immediately—in a matter of minutes, instead of days or weeks. Without the need to build a custom rule for a web application firewall (WAF) or intrusion prevention system (IPS), or the need to deliver a source code patch, our software allows you the time to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it in the code. With AppSpider, you can: • Manage and control application security programs • Automate targeted virtual patching • Meet compliance requirements • Integrate into your DevSecOps workflow","shortDescription":"AppSpider automatically finds vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications— from the relatively simple to the most complex—and it includes unique capabilities and integrations","type":null,"isRoiCalculatorAvaliable":false,"isConfiguratorAvaliable":false,"bonus":100,"usingCount":0,"sellingCount":0,"discontinued":0,"rebateForPoc":0,"rebate":0,"seo":{"title":"AppSpider","keywords":"","description":"While today’s malicious attackers pursue a variety of goals, they share a preferred channel of attack—the millions of custom web, mobile, and cloud applications companies deploy to serve their customers.

Where previously we focused our attention on securing organizations’ network parameters, today the application level is where the focus is for attackers.\r\nAccording to Verizon’s 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report, web applications “remain the proverbial punching bag of the internet,” with about 80% of attacks in the application layer, as Gartner has stated. Taking proactive measures to protect your company and customer data is no longer an option: It is a business imperative for enterprises across all industries.\r\nIn 2013, the Ponemon Institute’s ‘Cost of a Data Breach Report’ found that security incidents in the U.S. averaged a total cost of $5.4 million. Preventing just one similar security incident would more than cover the cost of application security and prove your security programs value.\r\nApplication Security is built around the concept of ensuring that the code written for an application does what it was built to do, and keeps the contained data secure.\r\nAccording to Gartner, application security puts a primary focus on three elements:\r\n<ul><li>Reducing security vulnerabilities and risks</li><li>Improving security features and functions such as authentication, encryption or auditing</li><li>Integrating with the enterprise security infrastructure</li></ul>","materialsDescription":" Security testing techniques scour for vulnerabilities or security holes in applications. These vulnerabilities leave applications open to exploitation. Ideally, security testing is implemented throughout the entire software development life cycle (SDLC) so that vulnerabilities may be addressed in a timely and thorough manner. Unfortunately, testing is often conducted as an afterthought at the end of the development cycle. With the growth of Continuous delivery and DevOps as popular software development and deployment models, continuous security models are becoming more popular.\r\nVulnerability scanners, and more specifically web application scanners, otherwise known as penetration testing tools (i.e. ethical hacking tools) have been historically used by security organizations within corporations and security consultants to automate the security testing of http request/responses; however, this is not a substitute for the need for actual source code review. Physical code reviews of an application's source code can be accomplished manually or in an automated fashion. Given the common size of individual programs (often 500,000 lines of code or more), the human brain cannot execute a comprehensive data flow analysis needed in order to completely check all circuitous paths of an application program to find vulnerability points. The human brain is suited more for filtering, interrupting and reporting the outputs of automated source code analysis tools available commercially versus trying to trace every possible path through a compiled code base to find the root cause level vulnerabilities.\r\nThere are many kinds of automated tools for identifying vulnerabilities in applications. Some require a great deal of security expertise to use and others are designed for fully automated use. The results are dependent on the types of information (source, binary, HTTP traffic, configuration, libraries, connections) provided to the tool, the quality of the analysis, and the scope of vulnerabilities covered. Common technologies used for identifying application vulnerabilities include:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Static Application Security Testing (SAST)</span> is a technology that is frequently used as a Source Code Analysis tool. The method analyzes source code for security vulnerabilities prior to the launch of an application and is used to strengthen code. This method produces fewer false positives but for most implementations requires access to an application's source code and requires expert configuration and lots of processing power.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)</span> is a technology, which is able to find visible vulnerabilities by feeding a URL into an automated scanner. This method is highly scalable, easily integrated and quick. DAST's drawbacks lie in the need for expert configuration and the high possibility of false positives and negatives.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)</span> is a solution that assesses applications from within using software instrumentation. This technique allows IAST to combine the strengths of both SAST and DAST methods as well as providing access to code, HTTP traffic, library information, backend connections and configuration information. Some IAST products require the application to be attacked, while others can be used during normal quality assurance testing.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Application_Security_Testing1.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},"rapid7-insightappsec":{"id":3659,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/rapid7.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Rapid7 insightAppSec","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"0.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":2,"alias":"rapid7-insightappsec","companyTitle":"Rapid7","companyTypes":["supplier","vendor"],"companyId":210,"companyAlias":"rapid7","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Identify application risks quickly and painlessly</span>\r\nWith InsightAppSec, there’s no installation of on-premise components required—just log in and start scanning. The intuitive workflows make it easy for you to test your applications without the steep learning curve. Simple doesn’t mean less powerful though—scans in InsightAppSec can be configured to meet your testing needs and ensure comprehensive coverage of your applications. Scan coverage in modern applications and APIs can be a problem for some DAST tools, but InsightAppSec’s scan engine has been developed with these challenges in mind and proven to overcome them.\r\nYou’ll not only save time thanks to the easy-to-learn interface, you’ll also avoid the time-consuming training that other DAST tools require in order to get good coverage of your applications. Although InsightAppSec lives in the cloud, it can also scan your internal apps (like pre-production instances), with a scan engine deployed on premise. All your results are stored in the cloud, so that you have a single view of all your application vulnerabilities.\r\nWith InsightAppSec, you can:\r\n<ul><li>Get up and running in minutes</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>Crawl and attack your modern applications and APIs</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>Scan external and internal applications</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Manage your app portfolio at a glance</span><br />\r\nWeb applications these days are rarely monolithic. They have complex multi-component architectures (like decoupled front ends that interface with micro-services that transact with the backend), as well as multiple instances (like development, pre-production, and production). InsightAppSec provides the flexibility to configure scans to optimize coverage and testing for each individual aspect of an application, whether it’s an API or a Single Page Application (SPA) front end.<br />\r\nEven though the components may be completely different technologies, to your organization they are still considered parts of the same application, which is why InsightAppSec is designed to group scan targets into application portfolios. All scans for an application, its components, and instances appear in a single application portfolio view, making scan management simple. The Live Vulnerability View provides a single, concise view of scan results for an application portfolio and displays an always up-to-date listing of vulnerabilities detected in your app portfolios. With rich historical information provided for each vulnerability, you’ll have the context to make critical prioritization decisions. <br />\r\nWith InsightAppSec, you can:\r\n<ul><li>Group scan targets into application portfolios</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>View all vulnerabilities across multiple scans and scan targets in a single view</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>Use Live Vulnerability View to quickly filter down results and dynamically assign status and severity to reflect your priorities</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Share actionable insights resulting in the right fix</span><br />\r\nExposing application security vulnerabilities is a vital step towards reducing your application security risk. Managing that risk also requires keeping various stakeholders informed and arming your development teams with the actionable information they need to fix vulnerabilities. InsightAppSec provides detailed technical information on each identified vulnerability along with recommendations to remediate it. Reports can be custom-tailored for the audience, whether it be executive stakeholders who need an at-a-glance overview of application security risk, or developers who need technical details to remediate. The Attack Replay feature also empowers developers to confirm vulnerabilities on their own. Static reports aren’t always enough to prove to development that a vulnerability exists; Attack Replay makes it possible for developers to reproduce the issue on their own, and after a fix is implemented, test it immediately.<br />\r\nWith InsightAppSec, you can:\r\n<ul><li>Take action by leveraging detailed explanations of vulnerabilities, with technical details and remediation recommendations</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>Generate tailored reports of vulnerabilities for various business stakeholders</li></ul>\r\n<ul><li>Empower developers with Attack Replay so they can confirm vulnerabilities on their own and test their fixes immediately</li></ul>","shortDescription":"Rapid7 insightAppSec - Extensive dynamic application security testing for seeing more and remediating faster\r\n","type":null,"isRoiCalculatorAvaliable":false,"isConfiguratorAvaliable":false,"bonus":100,"usingCount":11,"sellingCount":12,"discontinued":0,"rebateForPoc":0,"rebate":0,"seo":{"title":"Rapid7 insightAppSec","keywords":"","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Identify application risks quickly and painlessly</span>\r\nWith InsightAppSec, there’s no installation of on-premise components required—just log in and start scanning.

The attacker may inject malicious code to disrupt the normal operation of the application by making it access the data without authorization or execute involuntary commands.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Authentication failures</span></li></ul>\r\nIf a vulnerability scan in web applications finds a failure, it may be due to loss of authentication. This is a critical vulnerability, as it allows the attacker to impersonate another user. This can compromise important data such as usernames, passwords, session tokens, and more.\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Sensitive data exposure</span></li></ul>\r\nA serious risk is the exposure of sensitive data especially financial information such as credit cards or account numbers, personal data such as place of residence, or health-related information. If an attacker scans for this type of vulnerability, he or she may modify or steal this data and use it fraudulently. Therefore, it is essential to use a web app scanning tools to find vulnerabilities in web applications.<br /><br /><br />","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Web_Application_Vulnerability_Scanner.png"},{"id":79,"title":"VM - Vulnerability management","alias":"vm-vulnerability-management","description":"Vulnerability management is the "cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, prioritizing, remediating and mitigating" software vulnerabilities. Vulnerability management is integral to computer security and network security, and must not be confused with a Vulnerability assessment.\r\nVulnerability management is an ongoing process that includes proactive asset discovery, continuous monitoring, mitigation, remediation and defense tactics to protect your organization's modern IT attack surface from Cyber Exposure.\r\nVulnerabilities can be discovered with a vulnerability scanner, which analyzes a computer system in search of known vulnerabilities, such as open ports, insecure software configurations, and susceptibility to malware infections. They may also be identified by consulting public sources, such as NVD, or subscribing to a commercial vulnerability alerting services. Unknown vulnerabilities, such as a zero-day, may be found with fuzz testing, which can identify certain kinds of vulnerabilities, such as a buffer overflow with relevant test cases. Such analysis can be facilitated by test automation. In addition, antivirus software capable of heuristic analysis may discover undocumented malware if it finds software behaving suspiciously (such as attempting to overwrite a system file).\r\nCorrecting vulnerabilities may variously involve the installation of a patch, a change in network security policy, reconfiguration of software, or educating users about social engineering.\r\nNetwork vulnerabilities represent security gaps that could be abused by attackers to damage network assets, trigger a denial of service, and/or steal potentially sensitive information. Attackers are constantly looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit — and taking advantage of old vulnerabilities that may have gone unpatched.\r\nHaving a vulnerability management framework in place that regularly checks for new vulnerabilities is crucial for preventing cybersecurity breaches. Without a vulnerability testing and patch management system, old security gaps may be left on the network for extended periods of time. This gives attackers more of an opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities and carry out their attacks.\r\nOne statistic that highlights how crucial vulnerability management was featured in an Infosecurity Magazine article. According to survey data cited in the article, of the organizations that “suffered a breach, almost 60% were due to an unpatched vulnerability.” In other words, nearly 60% of the data breaches suffered by survey respondents could have been easily prevented simply by having a vulnerability management plan that would apply critical patches before attackers leveraged the vulnerability.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is vulnerability management?</span>\r\nVulnerability management is a pro-active approach to managing network security by reducing the likelihood that flaws in code or design compromise the security of an endpoint or network.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What processes does vulnerability management include?</span>\r\nVulnerability management processes include:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Checking for vulnerabilities:</span> This process should include regular network scanning, firewall logging, penetration testing or use of an automated tool like a vulnerability scanner.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Identifying vulnerabilities:</span> This involves analyzing network scans and pen test results, firewall logs or vulnerability scan results to find anomalies that suggest a malware attack or other malicious event has taken advantage of a security vulnerability, or could possibly do so.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Verifying vulnerabilities:</span> This process includes ascertaining whether the identified vulnerabilities could actually be exploited on servers, applications, networks or other systems.

These networks are responsible for providing automated control and remote human management of essential commodities and services such as water, natural gas, electricity and transportation to millions of people. They can also be used to improve the efficiencies and quality in other less essential (but some would say very important!) real-world processes such as snowmaking for ski resorts and beer brewing. SCADA is one of the most common types of industrial control systems (ICS).\r\nThese networks, just like any other network, are under threat from cyber-attacks that could bring down any part of the nation's critical infrastructure quickly and with dire consequences if the right security is not in place. Capital expenditure is another key concern; SCADA systems can cost an organization from tens of thousands to millions of dollars. For these reasons, it is essential that organizations implement robust SCADA security measures to protect their infrastructure and the millions of people that would be affected by the disruption caused by an external attack or internal error.\r\nSCADA security has evolved dramatically in recent years. Before computers, the only way to monitor a SCADA network was to deploy several people to each station to report back on the state of each system. In busier stations, technicians were stationed permanently to manually operate the network and communicate over telephone wires.\r\nIt wasn't until the introduction of the local area network (LAN) and improvements in system miniaturization that we started to see advances in SCADA development such as the distributed SCADA network. Next came networked systems that were able to communicate over a wide area network (WAN) and connect many more components together.\r\nFrom local companies to federal governments, every business or organization that works with SCADA systems are vulnerable to SCADA security threats. These threats can have wide-reaching effects on both the economy and the community. Specific threats to SCADA networks include the following:\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Hackers.</span> Individuals or groups with malicious intent could bring a SCADA network to its knees. By gaining access to key SCADA components, hackers could unleash chaos on an organization that can range from a disruption in services to cyber warfare.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Malware.</span> Malware, including viruses, spyware and ransomware can pose a risk to SCADA systems. While malware may not be able to specifically target the network itself, it can still pose a threat to the key infrastructure that helps to manage the SCADA network. This includes mobile SCADA applications that are used to monitor and manage SCADA systems.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Terrorists.</span> Where hackers are usually motivated by sordid gain, terrorists are driven by the desire to cause as much mayhem and damage as possible.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Employees.</span> Insider threats can be just as damaging as external threats. From human error to a disgruntled employee or contractor, it is essential that SCADA security addresses these risks.\r\nManaging today's SCADA networks can be a challenge without the right security precautions in place. Many networks are still without the necessary detection and monitoring systems and this leaves them vulnerable to attack. Because SCADA network attacks exploit both cyber and physical vulnerabilities, it is critical to align cybersecurity measures accordingly.","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is the difference between ICS/SCADA cybersecurity and information security?</span>\r\nAutomated process control systems (SCADA) have a lot of differences from “traditional” corporate information systems: from the destination, specific data transfer protocols and equipment used and ending with the environment in which they operate. In corporate networks and systems, as a rule, the main protected resource is information that is processed, transmitted and stored in automated systems, and the main goal is to ensure its confidentiality. In ICS, the protected resource, first of all, is the technological process itself, and the main goal is to ensure its continuity (accessibility of all nodes) and integrity (including information transmitted between the nodes of the ICS). Moreover, the field of potential risks and threats to ICS, in comparison with corporate systems, expands with risks of potential damage to life and health of personnel and the public, damage to the environment and infrastructure. That is why it is incorrect to talk about “information security” in relation to ICS/SCADA. In English sources, the term “cybersecurity” is used for this, a direct translation of which (cybersecurity) is increasingly found in our market in relation to the protection of process control systems.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Is it really necessary?</span>\r\nIt is necessary. There are a number of myths about process control systems, for example: “process control systems are completely isolated from the outside world”, “process control systems are too specific for someone to crack”, “process control systems are reliably protected by the developer”, or even “No one will ever try us, hacking us is not interesting. ” All this is no longer true. Many modern distributed process control systems have one or another connection with the corporate network, even if the system owners are unaware of this. Communication with the outside world greatly simplifies the task of the attacker, but does not remain the only possible option. Automated process control software and data transfer protocols are, as a rule, very, very insecure against cyber threats. This is evidenced by numerous articles and reports of experts involved in the study of the protection of industrial control systems and penetration tests. The PHDays III section on hacking automated process control systems impressed even ardent skeptics. Well, and, of course, the argument “they have NOT attacked us, therefore they will not” - can hardly be considered seriously. Everyone has heard about Stuxnet, which dispelled almost all the myths about the safety of ICS at once.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Who needs this?</span>\r\nWith the phrase ICS/SCADA, most imagine huge plants, automated CNC machines or something similar. However, the application of process control systems is not limited to these objects - in the modern age of automation, process control systems are used everywhere: from large production facilities, the oil and gas industry, transport management to smart home systems. And, by the way, with the protection of the latter, as a rule, everything can be much worse, because the developer silently and imperceptibly shifts responsibility to the shoulders of the user.\r\nOf course, some of the objects with automated process control systems are more interesting for attackers, others less. But, given the ever-growing number of vulnerabilities discovered and published in the ICS, the spread of "exclusive" (written for specific protocols and ICS software) malware, considering your system safe "by default" is unreasonable.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are ICS and SCADA the same thing?</span>\r\nNo. SCADA systems (supervisory control and data acquisition, supervisory control and data collection) are part of the control system. Usually, a SCADA system means centralized control and management systems with the participation of a person as a whole system or a complex of industrial control systems. SCADA is the central link between people (human-machine interfaces) and PLC levels (programmable logic controller) or RTU (remote terminal unit).\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is ICS/SCADA cybersecurity?</span>\r\nIn fact, ICS cybersecurity is a process similar to “information security” in a number of properties, but very different in details. And the devil, as you know, lies in them. ICS/SCADA also has similar information security-related processes: asset inventory, risk analysis and assessment, threat analysis, security management, change management, incident response, continuity, etc. But these processes themselves are different.<br />The cyber security of ICSs has the same basic target qualities - confidentiality, integrity and accessibility, but the significance and point of application for them are completely different. It should be remembered that in ICS/SCADA we, first of all, protect the technological process. Beyond this - from the risks of damage to human health and life and the environment.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_SCADA_Cyber_Security.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},"rapid7-insightconnect":{"id":3657,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/rapid7.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Rapid7 insightConnect","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"0.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":2,"alias":"rapid7-insightconnect","companyTitle":"Rapid7","companyTypes":["supplier","vendor"],"companyId":210,"companyAlias":"rapid7","description":"InsightConnect is a security orchestration and automation solution that enables your team to accelerate and streamline time-intensive processes—no code necessary.

Security software is a broad term that encompasses a suite of different types of software that deliver data and computer and network security in various forms. \r\nSecurity software can protect a computer from viruses, malware, unauthorized users and other security exploits originating from the Internet. Different types of security software include anti-virus software, firewall software, network security software, Internet security software, malware/spamware removal and protection software, cryptographic software, and more.\r\nIn end-user computing environments, anti-spam and anti-virus security software is the most common type of software used, whereas enterprise users add a firewall and intrusion detection system on top of it. \r\nSecurity soft may be focused on preventing attacks from reaching their target, on limiting the damage attacks can cause if they reach their target and on tracking the damage that has been caused so that it can be repaired. As the nature of malicious code evolves, security software also evolves.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"></span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Firewall. </span>Firewall security software prevents unauthorized users from accessing a computer or network without restricting those who are authorized. Firewalls can be implemented with hardware or software. Some computer operating systems include software firewalls in the operating system itself. For example, Microsoft Windows has a built-in firewall. Routers and servers can include firewalls. There are also dedicated hardware firewalls that have no other function other than protecting a network from unauthorized access.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Antivirus.</span> Antivirus solutions work to prevent malicious code from attacking a computer by recognizing the attack before it begins. But it is also designed to stop an attack in progress that could not be prevented, and to repair damage done by the attack once the attack abates. Antivirus software is useful because it addresses security issues in cases where attacks have made it past a firewall. New computer viruses appear daily, so antivirus and security software must be continuously updated to remain effective.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Antispyware.</span> While antivirus software is designed to prevent malicious software from attacking, the goal of antispyware software is to prevent unauthorized software from stealing information that is on a computer or being processed through the computer. Since spyware does not need to attempt to damage data files or the operating system, it does not trigger antivirus software into action. However, antispyware software can recognize the particular actions spyware is taking by monitoring the communications between a computer and external message recipients. When communications occur that the user has not authorized, antispyware can notify the user and block further communications.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Home Computers.</span> Home computers and some small businesses usually implement security software at the desktop level - meaning on the PC itself. This category of computer security and protection, sometimes referred to as end-point security, remains resident, or continuously operating, on the desktop. Because the software is running, it uses system resources, and can slow the computer's performance. However, because it operates in real time, it can react rapidly to attacks and seek to shut them down when they occur.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Network Security.</span> When several computers are all on the same network, it's more cost-effective to implement security at the network level. Antivirus software can be installed on a server and then loaded automatically to each desktop. However firewalls are usually installed on a server or purchased as an independent device that is inserted into the network where the Internet connection comes in. All of the computers inside the network communicate unimpeded, but any data going in or out of the network over the Internet is filtered trough the firewall.<br /><br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: normal; \">What is IT security software?</span></h1>\r\nIT security software provides protection to businesses’ computer or network.

The goal of using a SOAR stack is to improve the efficiency of physical and digital security operations. The term, which was coined by the research firm Gartner, can be applied to compatible products and services that help define, prioritize, standardize and automate incident response functions.\r\nSOAR solutions are gaining visibility and real-world use driven by early adoption to improve security operations centers. Security and risk management leaders should start to evaluate how these solutions can support and optimize their broader security operations capabilities.\r\nSecurity orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) defines as technologies that enable organizations to take inputs from a variety of sources (mostly from security information and event management [SIEM] systems) and apply workflows aligned to processes and procedures. These can be orchestrated via integrations with other technologies and automated to achieve a desired outcome and greater visibility. Additional capabilities include case and incident management features; the ability to manage threat intelligence, dashboards and reporting; and analytics that can be applied across various functions. SOAR tools significantly enhance security operations activities like threat detection and response by providing machine-powered assistance to human analysts to improve the efficiency and consistency of people and processes.\r\nMost SOAR tools are still strongest in their original "home offerings", which are security incident and response platforms (SIRPs), security orchestration and automation (SOA), and threat intelligence platforms (TIPs). Currently, the most common use case for SOAR by an organization is to define incident analysis and response procedures in a digital workflow format — such as plays in a security operations playbook. Additionally, these tools facilitate the use and operationalization of threat intelligence in security operations, which enhances the ability to predict, prevent, detect and respond to the prevailing threat landscape that a company faces.\r\nTo understand the evolving SOAR market, it is necessary to define the specific terms used — namely, orchestration and automation — in the context of security operations:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Aggregation:</span></span> The ability to aggregate/ingest data across sources. This may take the form of alerts, signals or other inputs from other technologies such as an alert from a SIEM tool or an email sent to a group mailbox. Other data that is ingested may include user information from an identity and access management (IAM) tool or threat intelligence from multiple sources.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Enrichment:</span></span> Whether after incident identification or during data collection and processing, SOAR solutions can help integrate external threat intelligence, perform internal contextual lookups or run processes to gather further data according to defined actions.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Orchestration:</span></span> The complexity of combining resources involves coordination of workflows with manual and automated steps, involving many components and affecting information systems and often humans as well.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Automation:</span></span> This concept involves the capability of software and systems to execute functions on their own, typically to affect other information systems and applications.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Response:</span></span> Manual or automated response provides canned resolution to programmatically defined activities. This includes activities from a basic level — ticket creation in an IT service desk application — to more advanced activities like applying some form of response via another security control, like blocking an IP address by changing a firewall rule. This functionality is the most impactful but also applies to the most complex use cases.</li></ul>\r\nBuyers are expressing demand for SOAR for several reasons:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Staff shortages:</span></span> Due to staff shortages in security operations, clients describe a growing need to automate repeatable tasks, streamline workflows and orchestrate security tasks resulting in operational scale. For instance, if you have a team, SOAR can give them more reach — but this is not a tool to get instead of a team. Also, organizations need the ability to demonstrate to management the organization’s ability to reduce the impact of inevitable incidents.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Continued evolution of threats and increases in volume:</span></span> As organizations consider threats that destroy data and can result in disclosure of intellectual property and monetary extortion, they require rapid, consistent, continuous and more frequent responses with fewer manual steps.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Improving alert triage quality and speed:</span></span> Security monitoring systems (such as SIEMs) are known to cost a significant amount to run and generate a high number of alerts, including many found to be “false positives” or simply not relevant after additional investigation. Security and risk management leaders then treat alert triage in a very manual way, which is subject to mistakes by the analysts. This leaves real incidents ignored. SOAR helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio by automating the repeatable, mundane aspects of incident investigation. This creates a positive situation where analysts can spend more time investigating and responding to an event instead of spending most of their time collecting all the data required to perform the investigation.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Need for a centralized view of threat intelligence:</span></span> A large number of security controls on the market today benefit from threat intelligence. SOAR tools allow for the centralized collection, aggregation, deduplication, enrichment of existing data with threat intelligence and, importantly, conversion of intelligence into action.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Reducing time to respond, contain and remediate:</span></span> Organizations are dealing with increasingly aggressive threats, such as ransomware, where rapid response of only minutes at best is required in order to stand a chance of containing the threat that is spread laterally in your environment. This scenario forces organizations to reduce the time they take to respond to those incidents, typically by delegating more tasks to machines. Reducing the response time, including incident containment and remediation, is one of the most effective ways to control the impact of security incidents. Like a brush fire, the sooner you can get to it, the smaller it is, and therefore the easier it is to put out.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Reducing unnecessary, routine work for the analysts:</span></span> SOC analysts are often working with multiple tools. They are looking at a stream of row and column SIEM console alerts, threat intelligence (TI) service portals for information about the entities involved, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) for context on what is happening on the affected endpoint. They may even be using workflow tools to control the triage and investigation processes.</li></ul>\r\nThe SOAR market is still an emerging market and it is forecast to grow up to $550 million in the five-year (2018-2023) time frame. Many organizations implement SOAR tools with use cases primarily focused on making their SOC analysts more efficient such that they can process more incidents while having more time to apply human analysis and drive response actions much quicker. Historically, they were not aware of the existence of these types of solutions. There are now more clients aware of SOAR solutions, which is fueling further adoption. This awareness is broadening; even SOAR vendors claim to have less work evangelizing about the technology and more conversations about their capabilities and differentiators. However, improving detection and response activities is just one of several opportunities for the use of SOAR tools to support security operations activities.\r\nSince SOAR is often used as an umbrella term that covers security operations, security incident response and threat intelligence, many vendors are driving their existing solutions in the fight for market leadership.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is SOAR?</span>\r\nCoined by research company Gartner, Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) is a term used to describe the convergence of three distinct technology markets: security orchestration and automation, security incident response platforms (SIRP), and threat intelligence platforms (TIP).\r\nSOAR technologies enable organizations to collect and aggregate vast amounts of security data and alerts from a wide range of sources. This assists human and machine-led analysis, as well as the standardization and automation of threat detection and remediation.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are the activities of SOAR?</span>\r\nSOAR supports multiple activities for security operations decision making such as, but not limited to, the following:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Prioritizing security operations activities:</span></span> Use of a SOAR solution requires organizations to consider questions about their processes. Which are most critical? Which ones consume the most staff time and resources? Which ones would benefit from automation? Where do we have gaps in our documented procedures? The preparation and planning for SOAR, and its ongoing use, help organizations prioritize and manage where orchestration and automation should be applied and where it can help improve response. This response can then lead to improvements in security operations and showing a demonstrable impact on business operations (e.g., faster time to detect and respond to threats that could impact business operations and optimization of security operations staff and budget).</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Formalizing triage and incident response:</span></span> Security operations teams must be consistent in their responses to incident and threats. They must also follow best practices, provide an audit trail and be measurable against business objectives.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Automating response:</span></span> Speed is of the essence in today’s threat landscape. Attacks are increasing in speed (e.g., ransomware is now being automated to spread with worm functionality), but security operations are not automated. Having the ability to automate response action offers SOC teams the ability to quickly isolate/contain security incidents. Some responses can be fully automated, but at this time many SOAR users still inject a human to make the final decision. However, even this reduces the mean time to respond for the organization compared to being fully dependent on “human power.”</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SOAR Recommendations</span>\r\nSecurity and risk management leaders overseeing security operations should:\r\n<ul><li>Prepare for their SOAR implementations by having a starting set of defined processes and workflows that can be implemented. Out-of-the-box plays and integrations are a starting point but can rarely be implemented without some customizations.</li><li>Plan for the implementation and the ongoing operation and administration of SOAR tools by using a mix of professional services and internal resources.</li><li>Put a contingency plan in place in the event the SOAR tool is acquired by another vendor. Acquisitions are occurring with some frequency as the market evolves. Buyers should be prepared.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Key Findings</span>\r\n<ul><li>The SOAR technology market aims to converge security orchestration and automation (SOA), security incident response (SIR) and threat intelligence platform (TIP) capabilities into single solutions.</li><li>Early adopters of SOAR technologies have been organizations and managed security service providers with mature security operations centers (SOCs) that understood the benefits of incorporating SOAR capabilities into their operations. However, use cases implemented by early adopters have not evolved over the last 12 months and are stuck in a rut, limiting the long-term potential for SOAR in security operations.</li><li>SOAR solutions are not “plug-and-play.” Even though solutions have a library of out-of-the-box use cases and integrations, buyers are reporting multiweek professional services engagements to implement their initial use cases, as every organization’s processes and technologies deployed are different.</li><li>Orchestration and automation are starting to be localized in point security technologies, usually in the form of predefined, automated workflows.

At the most basic level, a SIEM system can be rules-based or employ a statistical correlation engine to establish relationships between event log entries. Advanced SIEM products have evolved to include user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and security orchestration and automated response (SOAR). \r\nThe acronyms SEM, SIM and SIEM have sometimes been used interchangeably, but generally refer to the different primary focus of products:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Log management:</span> Focus on simple collection and storage of log messages and audit trails.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information management (SIM):</span> Long-term storage as well as analysis and reporting of log data.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security event manager (SEM):</span> Real-time monitoring, correlation of events, notifications and console views.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security information event management (SIEM):</span> Combines SIM and SEM and provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Managed Security Service (MSS) or Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP):</span> The most common managed services appear to evolve around connectivity and bandwidth, network monitoring, security, virtualization, and disaster recovery.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Security as a service (SECaaS):</span> These security services often include authentication, anti-virus, anti-malware/spyware, intrusion detection, Penetration testing and security event management, among others.</li></ul>\r\nToday, most of SIEM technology works by deploying multiple collection agents in a hierarchical manner to gather security-related events from end-user devices, servers, network equipment, as well as specialized security equipment like firewalls, antivirus or intrusion prevention systems.

The main reason is that every user or tracker leaves behind a virtual trail in a network’s log data. SIEM software is designed to use this log data in order to generate insight into past attacks and events. A SIEM solution not only identifies that an attack has happened, but allows you to see how and why it happened as well.\r\nAs organizations update and upscale to increasingly complex IT infrastructures, SIEM has become even more important in recent years. Contrary to popular belief, firewalls and antivirus packages are not enough to protect a network in its entirety. Zero-day attacks can still penetrate a system’s defenses even with these security measures in place.\r\nSIEM addresses this problem by detecting attack activity and assessing it against past behavior on the network. A security event monitoring has the ability to distinguish between legitimate use and a malicious attack. This helps to increase a system’s incident protection and avoid damage to systems and virtual property.\r\nThe use of SIEM also helps companies to comply with a variety of industry cyber management regulations. Log management is the industry standard method of auditing activity on an IT network. SIEM management provides the best way to meet this regulatory requirement and provide transparency over logs in order to generate clear insights and improvements.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">Evaluation criteria for security information and event management software:</h1>\r\n<ul><li>Threat identification: Raw log form vs. descriptive.</li><li>Threat tracking: Ability to track through the various events, from source to destination.</li><li>Policy enforcement: Ability to enforce defined polices.</li><li>Application analysis: Ability to analyze application at Layer 7 if necessary.</li><li>Business relevance of events: Ability to assign business risk to events and have weighted threat levels.</li><li>Measuring changes and improvements: Ability to track configuration changes to devices.</li><li>Asset-based information: Ability to gather information on devices on the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (server): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (network): Ability to trend and see how communications pass throughout the network.</li><li>Anomalous behavior (application): Ability to trend and see changes in how it communicates to others.</li><li>User monitoring: User activity, logging in, applications usage, etc.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_SIEM.png"},{"id":465,"title":"UEBA - User and Entity Behavior Analytics","alias":"ueba-user-and-entity-behavior-analytics","description":"Developments in UBA technology led Gartner to evolve the category to user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA). In September 2015, Gartner published the Market Guide for User and Entity Analytics by Vice President and Distinguished Analyst, Avivah Litan, that provided a thorough definition and explanation. UEBA was referred to in earlier Gartner reports but not in much depth. Expanding the definition from UBA includes devices, applications, servers, data, or anything with an IP address. It moves beyond the fraud-oriented UBA focus to a broader one encompassing "malicious and abusive behavior that otherwise went unnoticed by existing security monitoring systems, such as SIEM and DLP." The addition of "entity" reflects that devices may play a role in a network attack and may also be valuable in uncovering attack activity. "When end users have been compromised, malware can lay dormant and go undetected for months. Rather than trying to find where the outsider entered, UEBAs allow for quicker detection by using algorithms to detect insider threats."\r\nParticularly in the computer security market, there are many vendors for UEBA applications. They can be "differentiated by whether they are designed to monitor on-premises or cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) applications; the methods in which they obtain the source data; the type of analytics they use (i.e., packaged analytics, user-driven or vendor-written), and the service delivery method (i.e., on-premises or a cloud-based)." According to the 2015 market guide released by Gartner, "the UEBA market grew substantially in 2015; UEBA vendors grew their customer base, market consolidation began, and Gartner client interest in UEBA and security analytics increased." The report further projected, "Over the next three years, leading UEBA platforms will become preferred systems for security operations and investigations at some of the organizations they serve. It will be—and in some cases already is—much easier to discover some security events and analyze individual offenders in UEBA than it is in many legacy security monitoring systems."","materialsDescription":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is UEBA?</span>\r\nHackers can break into firewalls, send you e-mails with malicious and infected attachments, or even bribe an employee to gain access into your firewalls. Old tools and systems are quickly becoming obsolete, and there are several ways to get past them.\r\nUser and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) give you more comprehensive way of making sure that your organization has top-notch IT security, while also helping you detect users and entities that might compromise your entire system.\r\nUEBA is a type of cybersecurity process that takes note of the normal conduct of users. In turn, they detect any anomalous behavior or instances when there are deviations from these “normal” patterns. For example, if a particular user regularly downloads 10 MB of files every day but suddenly downloads gigabytes of files, the system would be able to detect this anomaly and alert them immediately.\r\nUEBA uses machine learning, algorithms, and statistical analyses to know when there is a deviation from established patterns, showing which of these anomalies could result in, potentially, a real threat. UEBA can also aggregate the data you have in your reports and logs, as well as analyze the file, flow, and packet information.\r\nIn UEBA, you do not track security events or monitor devices; instead, you track all the users and entities in your system. As such, UEBA focuses on insider threats, such as employees who have gone rogue, employees who have already been compromised, and people who already have access to your system and then carry out targeted attacks and fraud attempts, as well as servers, applications, and devices that are working within your system.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What are the benefits of UEBA?</span>\r\nIt is the unfortunate truth that today's cybersecurity tools are fast becoming obsolete, and more skilled hackers and cyber attackers are now able to bypass the perimeter defenses that are used by most companies. In the old days, you were secure if you had web gateways, firewalls, and intrusion prevention tools in place. This is no longer the case in today’s complex threat landscape, and it’s especially true for bigger corporations that are proven to have very porous IT perimeters that are also very difficult to manage and oversee.\r\nThe bottom line? Preventive measures are no longer enough. Your firewalls are not going to be 100% foolproof, and hackers and attackers will get into your system at one point or another. This is why detection is equally important: when hackers do successfully get into your system, you should be able to detect their presence quickly in order to minimize the damage.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How Does UEBA Work?</span>\r\nThe premise of UEBA is actually very simple. You can easily steal an employee’s user name and password, but it is much harder to mimic the person’s normal behavior once inside the network.\r\nFor example, let’s say you steal Jane Doe’s password and user name. You would still not be able to act precisely like Jane Doe once in the system unless given extensive research and preparation. Therefore, when Jane Doe’s user name is logged in to the system, and her behavior is different than that of typical Jane Doe, that is when UEBA alerts start to sound.\r\nAnother relatable analogy would be if your credit card was stolen. A thief can pickpocket your wallet and go to a high-end shop and start spending thousands of dollars using your credit card. If your spending pattern on that card is different from the thief’s, the company’s fraud detection department will often recognize the abnormal spending and block suspicious purchases, issuing an alert to you or asking you to verify the authenticity of a transaction.\r\nAs such, UEBA is a very important component of IT security, allowing you to:\r\n1. Detect insider threats. It is not too far-fetched to imagine that an employee, or perhaps a group of employees, could go rogue, stealing data and information by using their own access. UEBA can help you detect data breaches, sabotage, privilege abuse and policy violations made by your own staff.\r\n2. Detect compromised accounts. Sometimes, user accounts are compromised. It could be that the user unwittingly installed malware on his or her machine, or sometimes a legitimate account is spoofed. UEBA can help you weed out spoofed and compromised users before they can do real harm.\r\n3. Detect brute-force attacks. Hackers sometimes target your cloud-based entities as well as third-party authentication systems. With UEBA, you are able to detect brute-force attempts, allowing you to block access to these entities.\r\n4. Detect changes in permissions and the creation of super users. Some attacks involve the use of super users. UEBA allows you to detect when super users are created, or if there are accounts that were granted unnecessary permissions.\r\n5. Detect breach of protected data. If you have protected data, it is not enough to just keep it secure. You should know when a user accesses this data when he or she does not have any legitimate business reason to access it.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_User_and_Entity_Behavior_Analytics.png"},{"id":838,"title":"Endpoint Detection and Response","alias":"endpoint-detection-and-response","description":"Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a cybersecurity technology that addresses the need for continuous monitoring and response to advanced threats.

EDR differs from other endpoint protection platforms (EPP) such as antivirus (AV) and anti-malware in that its primary focus isn't to automatically stop threats in the pre-execution phase on an endpoint. Rather, EDR is focused on providing the right endpoint visibility with the right insights to help security analysts discover, investigate and respond to very advanced threats and broader attack campaigns stretching across multiple endpoints.

Behavioral Protection:</span> Relying solely on signature-based methods or indicators of compromise (IOCs) lead to the “silent failure” that allows data breaches to occur. Effective endpoint detection and response requires behavioral approaches that search for indicators of attack (IOAs), so you are alerted of suspicious activities before a compromise can occur.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">4. Insight and Intelligence:</span> An endpoint detection and response solution that integrates threat intelligence can provide context, including details on the attributed adversary that is attacking you or other information about the attack.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">5.

Vulnerability management is integral to computer security and network security, and must not be confused with a Vulnerability assessment.\r\nVulnerability management is an ongoing process that includes proactive asset discovery, continuous monitoring, mitigation, remediation and defense tactics to protect your organization's modern IT attack surface from Cyber Exposure.\r\nVulnerabilities can be discovered with a vulnerability scanner, which analyzes a computer system in search of known vulnerabilities, such as open ports, insecure software configurations, and susceptibility to malware infections. They may also be identified by consulting public sources, such as NVD, or subscribing to a commercial vulnerability alerting services. Unknown vulnerabilities, such as a zero-day, may be found with fuzz testing, which can identify certain kinds of vulnerabilities, such as a buffer overflow with relevant test cases. Such analysis can be facilitated by test automation. In addition, antivirus software capable of heuristic analysis may discover undocumented malware if it finds software behaving suspiciously (such as attempting to overwrite a system file).\r\nCorrecting vulnerabilities may variously involve the installation of a patch, a change in network security policy, reconfiguration of software, or educating users about social engineering.\r\nNetwork vulnerabilities represent security gaps that could be abused by attackers to damage network assets, trigger a denial of service, and/or steal potentially sensitive information. Attackers are constantly looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit — and taking advantage of old vulnerabilities that may have gone unpatched.\r\nHaving a vulnerability management framework in place that regularly checks for new vulnerabilities is crucial for preventing cybersecurity breaches. Without a vulnerability testing and patch management system, old security gaps may be left on the network for extended periods of time. This gives attackers more of an opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities and carry out their attacks.\r\nOne statistic that highlights how crucial vulnerability management was featured in an Infosecurity Magazine article. According to survey data cited in the article, of the organizations that “suffered a breach, almost 60% were due to an unpatched vulnerability.” In other words, nearly 60% of the data breaches suffered by survey respondents could have been easily prevented simply by having a vulnerability management plan that would apply critical patches before attackers leveraged the vulnerability.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is vulnerability management?</span>\r\nVulnerability management is a pro-active approach to managing network security by reducing the likelihood that flaws in code or design compromise the security of an endpoint or network.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What processes does vulnerability management include?</span>\r\nVulnerability management processes include:\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Checking for vulnerabilities:</span> This process should include regular network scanning, firewall logging, penetration testing or use of an automated tool like a vulnerability scanner.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Identifying vulnerabilities:</span> This involves analyzing network scans and pen test results, firewall logs or vulnerability scan results to find anomalies that suggest a malware attack or other malicious event has taken advantage of a security vulnerability, or could possibly do so.</li><li><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Verifying vulnerabilities:</span> This process includes ascertaining whether the identified vulnerabilities could actually be exploited on servers, applications, networks or other systems.

These simulations identify vulnerabilities in security environments by mimicking the likely attack paths and techniques used by malicious actors. In this sense, a breach and attack simulation acts much like a continuous, automated penetration test, and it improves upon the inherent limitations of red and blue team testing.\r\nGartner defines BAS technologies as tools “that allow enterprises to continually and consistently simulate the full attack cycle (including insider threats, lateral movement, and data exfiltration) against enterprise infrastructure, using software agents, virtual machines, and other means”.\r\nWhat makes BAS special, is its ability to provide continuous and consistent testing at limited risk and that it can be used to alert IT and business stakeholders about existing gaps in the security posture or validate that security infrastructure, configuration settings and detection/prevention technologies are operating as intended. BAS can also assist in validating if security operations and the SOC staff can detect specific attacks when used as a complement to the red team or penetration testing exercises.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">There are three different types of BAS solutions:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Agent-based BAS</span> solutions are the simplest form of BAS. Agents are deployed across the LAN and vulnerabilities are identified to determine which routes are open to a potential attacker to move around the network. An agent-based BAS solution is very similar to vulnerability scanning but offers much more context.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">BAS solutions based on “malicious” traffic.</span> These BAS solutions generate intrusive traffic within the network between dedicated virtual machines that serve as targets for a wide range of attack scenarios. An overview is then created of which events have not been detected and blocked by the company’s own security controls. </li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Cloud-based BAS solutions.</span> BAS solutions that are cloud-based are the closest to a real attack. They simulate numerous attack scenarios from the outside via different entry points. (so-called multi-vector attacks) and thus also the network perimeter of the company. The cloud platforms are fed with the latest threats from a wide variety of sources and are therefore always very up-to-date. Being SaaS solutions, they can be implemented very quickly.</li></ul>\r\nBy running these cyber-attack simulations in a controlled environment, an advanced BAS platform can identify vulnerabilities and gaps and then provide prioritized recommendations to help quickly close them. In this sense, a BAS platform works much like a purple team, allowing for comprehensive vulnerability assessment and remediation. Yet unlike a purple team, a BAS platform is automated and can be deployed remotely, making it especially well-suited to today’s challenges.\r\nThis automation is the key to maintaining continuous risk assessment and threat mitigation — the gold standard for today’s cybersecurity solutions.<br /><br />","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\">What problems do BAS tools attempt to solve?</h1>\r\nBAS solutions give companies an answer to the question “Do our cybersecurity programs really work? Large companies invest heavily in security products, but still do not have the confidence that they can withstand increasingly sophisticated attacks. For financial and practical reasons it is also not possible to test entire enterprise production environments permanently and manually for security vulnerabilities. Breach and Attack Simulation fills exactly this gap and allows companies to get more out of their existing security solutions by enabling continuous testing of the enterprise network at low risk.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">For which companies are BAS solutions suitable?</h1>\r\nIf you have a look around the BAS market, you will find that many offers are tailored to large enterprise customers with high security requirements, such as financial institutions and insurance companies. It is not surprising that Breach and Attack Simulation is especially interesting for this kind of companies. They typically have numerous security products in use, a dynamic IT landscape and a high level of IT maturity. In addition, there are high demands on IT security and high compliance pressure. High-end solutions like Breach and Attack Simulation are predestined for this environment.<br />However, there is also the possibility for smaller companies to use BAS technology. Some solution providers have made their BAS tools multi-tenant ready so that smaller companies can also benefit from them via partner companies.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\">How to Evaluate a BAS Platform?</h1>\r\n<ul><li>The right BAS platform can simulate attacks in the cloud, identifying misconfigurations and other security gaps, while also allowing organizations to determine if critical assets are truly secure in all environments.</li><li>The ability to identify gaps in detection and prevention in hybrid environments is another key feature. As more data migrates to the cloud, it’s imperative that organizations assess their risk posture and understand how new hybrid environments can be attacked from on-premises devices linked to cloud data. Assessing cloud and on-premises risks separately leads to reduced visibility and expanded threat exposure — you simply don’t know how each side effects the other.</li><li>An advanced BAS platform can safely simulate Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) against an organization’s “crown jewel” assets. Networks and devices create many pathways for APTs and identifying them is important.</li><li>The right platform can also identify a wide range of attack vectors hackers can exploit, while running safely in a production environment. Testing security controls on an endpoint solution might tell you if you can stop a credential dump but will not tell you which accounts can be harvested, from which devices and the impact those accounts will have.</li><li>Organizations should also look for a BAS solution that offered prioritized remediation of security gaps and validation of security controls.</li></ul>\r\n<br /><br />","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/hacking.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},"rapid7-metasploit":{"id":22,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/rapid7.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Rapid7 Metasploit","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.70","implementationsCount":1,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":2,"alias":"rapid7-metasploit","companyTitle":"Rapid7","companyTypes":["supplier","vendor"],"companyId":210,"companyAlias":"rapid7","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Know Your Weak Points</span>\r\nIt’s vital to find your vulnerabilities before a malicious attacker does.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Utilize world's largest exploit database</span>\r\nLeading the Metasploit project gives Rapid7 unique insights into the latest attacker methods and mindset.

Vulnerability testing can also be used to test an organization's security policy, its adherence to compliance requirements, its employees' security awareness and the organization's ability to identify and respond to security incidents.\r\nTypically,<span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; font-style:normal; \">professional penetration testing</span>provides information about security weaknesses that are identified or exploited through pen testing is aggregated and provided to the organization's IT and network system managers, enabling them to make strategic decisions and prioritize remediation efforts. \r\nA wide variety of <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">software security testing tools </span>are available to assist with penetration testing, including free-of-charge, free software, and commercial software. Penetration tools scan code in order to identity malicious code in applications that could result in a security breach. Pen testing tools examine data encryption techniques and can identify hard-coded values, such as usernames and passwords, to verify security vulnerabilities in the system.\r\n Important aspect of any penetration testing program is defining the scope within which the pen testers must operate. Usually, the scope defines what systems, locations, techniques and tools can be used in a penetration test. Limiting the scope of the penetration test helps focus team members - and defenders - on the systems over which the organization has control.\r\n<p class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Here are several of the main vulnerability penetration testing approaches:</span></p>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Targeted testing</span> is performed by the organization's IT team and the penetration testing team working together.

This kind of test is useful for estimating how much damage a disgruntled employee could cause.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Blind testing simulates</span> the actions and procedures of a real attacker by severely limiting the information given to the person or team performing the test beforehand. Typically, the pen testers may only be given the name of the company.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Double-blind testing</span> takes the blind test and carries it a step further. In this type of pen test, only one or two people within the organization might be aware a test is being conducted. Double-blind tests can be useful for testing an organization's security monitoring and incident identification as well as its response procedures.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Black box</span> testing is basically the same as blind testing, but the tester receives no information before the test takes place. Rather, the pen testers must find their own way into the system.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">White box</span> testing provides the penetration testers information about the target network before they start their work. This information can include such details as IP addresses, network infrastructure schematics and the protocols used plus the source code.</li></ul>","materialsDescription":"<h1 class=\"align-center\"> <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What Is Penetration Testing?</span></h1>\r\nThere is a considerable amount of confusion in the industry regarding the differences between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tool,as the two phrases are commonly interchanged. However, their meaning and implications are very different. A <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">vulnerability assessment </span>simply identifies and reports noted vulnerabilities, whereas a pentest attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible.<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \"> Penetration testing</span> typically includes network penetration testing and web application security testing as well as controls and processes around the networks and applications, and should occur from both outside the network trying to come in (external testing) and from inside the network.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What is a pentesting tool ?</span></h1>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\">Penetration tools are used as part testing to automate certain tasks, improve testing efficiency and discover issues that might be difficult to find using manual analysis techniques alone. Two common penetration testing tools are <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">static analysis </span>tools and <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">dynamic analysis</span> tools. Tools for attack include software designed to produce <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">brute-force attacks</span> or <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">SQL injections</span>. There is also hardware specifically designed for pen testing, such as small inconspicuous boxes that can be plugged into a computer on the network to provide the hacker with remote access to that network. In addition, an ethical hacker may use social engineering techniques to find vulnerabilities. For example, sending phishing emails to company employees, or even disguising themselves as delivery people to gain physical access to the building.</p>\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What are the benefits of penetration testing?</span></h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Manage the Risk Properly. </span>For many organizations, one of the most popular benefits of pen testing services is that they will give you a baseline to work upon to cure the risk in a structured and optimal way. It will show you the list of vulnerabilities in the target environment and the risks associated with it.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Increase Business Continuity.</span> Business continuity is the prime concern for any successful organization. A break in the business continuity can happen for many reasons. Lack of security loopholes is one of them. Insecure systems suffer more breaches in their availability than the secured ones. Today attackers are hired by other organizations to stop the continuity of business by exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain the access and to produce a denial of service condition which usually crashes the vulnerable service and breaks the server availability.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protect Clients, Partners, and Third Parties.</span> A security breach can affect not only the target organization but also their associated clients, partners and third parties working with it. However, if company schedules a penetration test regularly and takes necessary actions towards security, it will help professionals build trust and confidence in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to Evaluate Security Investment. </span> The pen test results will give us an independent view of the effectiveness of existing security processes, ensuring that configuration management practices have been followed correctly. This is an ideal opportunity to review the efficiency of the current security investment. What needs to be improved and what is working and what is not working and how much investment needed to build the more secure environment in the organization.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Help Protect Public Relationships and Guard the reputation of your company.</span>A good public relationship and company reputation are built up after taking many years struggle and hard work and with a huge amount of investment. This can be suddenly changed due to a single security breach.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Protection from Financial Damage.</span> A simple breach of the security system may cause millions of dollars of damage. Penetration testing can protect your organization from such damages.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Helps to tests cyber-defense capability.</span> During a penetration test, the target company’s security team should be able to detect multiple attacks and respond accordingly on time. Furthermore, if an intrusion is detected, the security and forensic teams should start investigations, and the penetration testers should be blocked and their tools removed. The effectiveness of your protection devices like IDS, IPS or WAF can also be tested during a penetration test.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"></span></li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Client-side Attacks. </span>Pen tests are an effective way of ensuring that successful highly targeted client-side attacks against key members of your staff. Security should be treated with a holistic approach. Companies only assessing the security of their servers run the risk of being targeted with client-side attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in software like web browsers, pdf readers, etc. It is important to ensure that the patch management processes are working properly updating the operating system and third-party applications.</li></ul>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon_Penetration_Testing.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},"rapid7-nexpose":{"id":25,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/rapid7.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Rapid7 Nexpose","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.70","implementationsCount":6,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":2,"alias":"rapid7-nexpose","companyTitle":"Rapid7","companyTypes":["supplier","vendor"],"companyId":210,"companyAlias":"rapid7","description":"Data breaches are growing at an alarming rate.
