Over the past two decades, the basic approach to managing software vulnerabilities has consistently remained - discover assets-> audit for vulnerabilities-> prioritize and patch-> report on progress. However, despite widespread deployment of vulnerability management technologies, few organizations have been able to decisively put a check mark in the win column.
Vulnerabilities continue to go unpatched. Threat actors are weaponizing new exploits faster than ever and breaches continue to rise. If we cannot address today’s vulnerabilities, what chance do we have at tackling the evolution of ransomware, malware for mobile phones, billions of defenseless IoT devices, and gangs of cyber mercenaries? But how can we change the vulnerability game in our favor?
Take your vulnerability management game to the next level, NOW! Download our white paper, Change the Game for Vulnerability Management, to discover how orchestrating your cyber defenses can keep you steps ahead of the bad guys.
Think Like an Attacker
One thing attackers do extraordinarily well is share information with each other. For instance, bots typically don’t work alone, but instead as a coordinated group of infected machines, each sharing data with, and taking orders, from a command and control server. We need to take a page from the attacker’s playbook and expand the information sharing and collaboration between security and monitoring systems we already have in place, as well as outside threat intelligence sources. What we’re talking about goes far beyond just spitting out event data to a SIEM. By mobilizing our “security villages”, and automating their interactions, we can collect data from a variety of trusted sources, correlate it into a clear picture of risk, and take swift and decisive actions to mitigate vulnerabilities and threats. That’s how we flip the game on our adversaries!Mobilize Your Security Village
Retina Connected Threat and Vulnerability Intelligence (CTVI) orchestrates asset, attack, malware, privilege, vulnerability data, and more from BeyondTrust and 3rd party solutions. Essentially, Retina CTVI mobilizes your “security village,” automating data interactions, and coordinating intelligence sharing to pinpoint and eliminate high risk vulnerabilities and to uncover and track emerging threats. By changing your vulnerability management game, Retina CTVI enables you to:- Prioritize known vulnerabilities: Pinpoint which assets and users pose the greatest threat. Make attackers work harder to get in by eliminating the low hanging fruit they’ve been preying on for a decade.
- Shorten remediation times: Respond faster to both known and emerging threats. Condense the attack window by narrowing the gap between when exploits are weaponized and vulnerabilities are eradicated.
- Expand the sightline into emerging threats: Key in on the insights that are worth watching. Uncover high-risk assets and anomalous behavior that, viewed in isolation might slip under the radar, but when correlated together spell big trouble.
- Maximize the value of existing security investments: Sharing normalized security intelligence with each solution in your “security village” makes each solution smarter, while also providing clearer contextual awareness for making better-informed security decisions.
Connect Threat & Vulnerability Intelligence
Retina CTVI provides businesses with improved contextual awareness so they can make smarter, more well-informed security decisions. That’s how we flip the game on our adversaries and take control of vulnerabilities. It’s time to enlist the eyes and ears of your “security village”, automate their interactions, and coordinate their intelligence to pinpoint and eliminate high risk vulnerabilities and to uncover and track emerging threats.
