Eoin Keary Director, Founder & CEOIn addition to skill shortages, Keary explains that lack of enterprise security intelligence and visibility, and a need to adhere to compliance mandates like the GDPR are a few of the common client demands. The answer to these trigger points is made clear by edgescan. Through their SaaS, they supply customers with a virtual penetration testing team who provide support, retesting, and verification of vulnerabilities on demand. As for the demand for intelligence, edgescan’s Vulnerability Intelligence (VI) portal, a highly scalable solution, helps clients detect vulnerabilities and maintain visibility dynamically. Through a smart alert system, edgescan can also notify owners in the event of significant issues occurring.
Keary says that there are two components that form the crux of VI, one is accurate detection of issues and the other is verification of mitigation. Clients can visualize the details of the discovered weakness, including the root cause of the exposure, the actual location of the risk and the impact of that vulnerability. Based on the information, companies can measure metrics like patch-turnaround, high-risk response, network issue management, and compare host-patching with web app issue detection. “Such metrics drive change for our clients”, says Keary
We continuously detect and validate vulnerabilities, and so what we do is akin to vulnerability intelligence
Being a cloud-based SaaS, edgescan has a simple on-boarding and deployment model; for simpler systems like brochureware applications, they offer “edgescan-Essentials;” while for critical systems, they recommend “edgescan- Advanced,” for delivering a deeper level of assessment. There is also the edgescan “Host & Server,” which detects security issues that pertain to patching and configuration in infrastructure.
Incorporating edgescan’s solution was a client involved in the online gaming and media industry. They were running roughly 100 web applications with about 50,000 endpoints distributed across the cloud and physical data centers. Systems changed rapidly over time, and the client was a moving target in terms of security. When edgescan came aboard, they began with assessing the client’s web and infrastructure, where they quickly discovered numerous security issues. edgescan also deployed an API that the client integrated with their infrastructure and as their systems were deployed, the API was able to update edgescan on the changes in its list of live systems at any point in time. All of the discovered issues are validated by security experts resulting in false-positive-free vulnerability intelligence.
edgescan integrates with web application firewalls to generate fixes automatically, enabling clients to fix vulnerabilities directly via their portal. The need for a service like edgescan to maintain compliance established their solid presence in the Europe and more recently, edgescan has begun to expand rapidly in the U.S. It is their clarity in vision, an exclusive focus on managed services, and a dedicated design that has driven edgescan into becoming the industry leader.
Edgescan Releases Innovative External Attack Surface Management Solution
Tuesday, June 20, 2023
DUBLIN, - Edgescan, the first-fully integrated cybersecurity platform, announced today the release of its new External Attack Surface Management solution, offering unprecedented visibility and continuous monitoring to help secure organizations of all sizes.
Contemporary organizations necessitate a security solution that is well-versed in cloud technology, capable of efficiently surveying, overseeing, handling, and safeguarding their corporate resources throughout their digital presence. The conventional, improvised methods and time-consuming, manual procedures, combined with outdated tools, contribute to a convoluted, costly process that is prone to "false positives" resulting from human error. To achieve comprehensive visibility and control over a multi-cloud IT environment, it is crucial to employ an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution that adopts a hybrid approach. Such a solution integrates automated risk-based vulnerability intelligence with incident validation, harnessing the power of cyber analytics and human expertise.
"Edgescan's unique hybrid approach combines EASM with its award-winning PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) and RBVM (Risk-based Vulnerability Management) solutions, providing organizations with an optimal view of risks and exposures, understanding exactly what assets exist and what level of security coverage is being applied" says Eoin Keary, Founder and CEO of Edgescan. "The outcome is detailed, actionable and validated vulnerability intelligence that provides risk prioritization for faster remediation and coverage assurance."
The Edgescan EASM solution effectively addresses the obstacles of limited visibility and sluggish remediation response that arise from outdated tools and manual procedures, making it an indispensable component of contemporary cybersecurity strategies. By incorporating Edgescan's Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and Risk-based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) capabilities, EASM offers comprehensive visibility and evaluation of both multi-cloud and on-premises infrastructures, enabling organizations to identify and protect their crucial assets and applications. Moreover, this solution grants organizations the flexibility to adapt their change management and deployment models as necessary, aligning with their specific business requirements.
The Edgescan EASM solution offers a range of critical features that are key to its functionality. These include the ability to map, discover, and track known DNS systems, as well as identifying and cataloging unknown internet systems, which is especially crucial. The solution also exposes instances of shadow IT, while efficiently detecting and listing subdomains. With customizable alerting and reporting capabilities, it allows for the identification of anomalies and vulnerabilities. Overall, these capabilities enable security teams to confidently explore and comprehend the security aspects of their hybrid environments by implementing continuous and proactive monitoring. Simultaneously, the solution optimizes incident response and remediation processes, providing significant benefits to organizations.
