Continuous exposure management is a proactive approach to cybersecurity that allows the identification, prioritization, and reduction of vulnerabilities on the attack surface of an organization on a continuous basis. This is beneficial to security teams because the high-impact risks are prioritized over extensive lists of security issues, such as CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, which is provided by Vijilan.
Core Principles
Constant exposure management no longer involves patching the problem after it happens, but rather constant exposure risk assessment, which incorporates the principles of continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) such as scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization. This is improved by Vijilan by having a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) which offers managed services to monitor networks, devices, cloud properties and identities in real-time to identify threats.
Step-by-Step Process
The continuous exposure management is structured in a step-by-step approach that involves a structured CTEM framework, which would be in line with the capabilities of Vijilan to carry out.
- Scoping: Teams determine the attack surface by cataloguing key resources such as endpoints, cloud environments and internet-facing applications. ViSH platform by Vijilan accepts logs both on-premises, AWS, Azure, and hybrid systems, which presents a single view and helps to discover assets that are crown-jewels without any blind spots.
- Discovery: This phase identifies the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services by using AI-powered tools that conduct continuous scanning. Offered as Falcon Exposure Management, which is incorporated in Vijilan, will display internet facing risks such as open ports or unpatched software in real-time, nothing will sneak through.
- Prioritization: Vulnerabilities are prioritized based on real-life risk indicators of exploit probability, business impact and active threats. The coverage of networks, identities, data, and apps has this risk-based vulnerability management in line with the coverage of Vijilan, which concentrates teams on the 1 percent of the threats.
- Validation: Simulated attacks are an exploitability test in a controlled setting, which proves whether an exposure can result in a breach. These validations are conducted by the SOC analysts of Vijilan, where the outcomes are combined with results of threat intelligence to obtain the correct impact measurement.
- Mobilization: The remediation starts with automated processes, where Jira or ServiceNow generates a ticket to patch, and Vijilan professionals deal with an immediate fix, such as isolation or config.
Integration with Vijilan Services
Vijilan integrates continuous exposure management as part of its managed services, using as an example partnerships such as CrowdStrike to provide end-to-end protection.
- Managed Vulnerability Management:The Falcon Exposure Management uses managed vulnerability scanning and prioritization of flaws in real time and automatically feeds them to the Vijilan SIEM to facilitate coherent alerting. Managed vulnerability management also helps security teams to be more efficient when focusing on critical fixes because it uses exposure data to correlate with threat intelligence.
- SIEM, MDR, and mXDR Convergence: The tools are all based on the same platform, where exposure information is matched with behavioral analytics. The 24/7 SOC of Vijilan analyzes alerts and minimizes the false positives, allowing proactive hunting.
- Risk-Based Focus: AI identifies anomalies and scores exposures based on context: such as a high-value server with a familiar exploit, and initiates root cause analysis and recovery. Teams distribute duties but they still maintain control.
- Compliance Assurance: Inbuilt controls are aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR mandates and audit-ready reports are provided by the continuous monitoring. Vijilan does the gathering of evidence, which lets teams free to strategize.
