XM Cyber External Attack Surface Management

As organizations expand their digital presence, forces such as continued cloud adoption, the use of SaaS platforms, and ever increasing reliance on third-party vendors create an attack surface full of potential exposures and vulnerabilities. This leaves organizations to confront an array of challenges. With XM Cyber for External Attack Surface Management, organizations gain a holistic view of their external attack surface, allowing them to proactively identify and mitigate potential entry points for attackers.

How XM Cyber Protects the External Attack Surface

Autonomous Validation
XM Cyber validates risks across your entire organization using the same techniques as a penetration tester. The zero-touch design simulates a security expert, without the need for configuration, scheduling, and manual intervention. Results are automatically triaged for accuracy and reliability.

Continuous Visibility
XM Cyber provides real-time visibility of threat exposure to your environment. The event-based architecture monitors your attack surface 24 x 7 x 365 for changes that could be exploited by threat actors. Investigative scans are triggered the moment a potential threat is detected, keeping you fully aware at all times.

Comprehensive Testing
XM Cyber tests in breadth and depth to uncover and validate exploits. The platform is trained and updated by our in-house research experts to emulate real-world attacks and discover threats that other tools can’t. The automated penetration testing capabilities rival that of human operators.

Key use cases

Automated Penetration Testing
Prevent data breaches by continuously simulating real world cyberattacks to uncover exploits before attackers do on internet-exposed assets.

Continuous Attack Surface Discovery
Quickly identify attack vectors in dynamic environments with real-time monitoring for internet-facing assets.

Streamlined Remediation Guidance
Efficiently address security threats with end-to-end automation of risk finding, validation and remediation workflows.

Risk-based Exposure Management
Eliminate the risks that matter most with context-based prioritization that considers impact and likelihood of exploitation.

Attackers know attackers best. Now you can replicate a team of attackers, assessing your organization around the clock to discover and validate risks.

Step 1 Discovery

Discover all your external-facing assets using its neural network graph of the internet. Machine learning algorithms that review text, images, scripts, DNS Records and numerous other characteristics identify assets.

Step 2 Contextualization

Contextualize your internet-facing assets to understand how an adversary would conduct an attack. XM Cyber fingerprints OS information, modules, libraries, input fields, authentication methods and much more.

Step 3 Validation

The platform uses its knowledge of your environment to test for exploitable OWASP Top Ten risks, known and zero-day vulnerabilities, and exposed and misconfigured services. Scans are chained together to simulate complex multidimensional attacks.

Step 4 Prioritization

XM Cyber prioritizes validated risks based on technical factors, the likelihood of exploitation, and potential business impact. The proprietary scoring algorithm.

Step 5 Remediation

The platform streamlines remediation by providing relevant business units with actionable step-by-step resolution instructions for exploitable risks. Follow-up testing is conducted to confirm that remediation was successful.

The Attacker’s Perspective

Defensive security should be validated by offensive security. XM Cyber provides the attacker’s perspective, uncovering the internet facing targets and methods that could be used in a real-world data breach. XM Cyber’s continuous and comprehensive testing discovers and validates risks completely autonomously. The platform combines attack surface discovery, automated penetration testing, and continuous exposure management technologies in a cloud-based platform. The cutting-edge technology is constantly updated and improved by XM Cyber’s in-house adversary team.

XM Cyber is a leader in hybrid cloud exposure management that’s changing the way organizations approach cyber risk. XM Cyber transforms exposure management by demonstrating how attackers leverage and combine misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identity exposures, and more, across AWS, Azure, GCP and on-prem environments to compromise critical assets. With XM Cyber, you can see all the ways attackers might go, and all the best ways to stop them, pinpointing where to remediate exposures with a fraction of the effort. Founded by top executives from the Israeli cyber intelligence community, XM Cyber has offices in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Israel.
