fundamental cornerstone to sound security decision making.
However, the standard process of 3rd party threat assessment as
practiced today is both time consuming and expensive.
Cynet changes the rules of the game with a free threat
assessment offering[1]
based on more than 72 hours of data collection and enabling
organizations to benchmark their security posture against their
industry vertical peers and take actions accordingly.
Cynet Free Threat
Assessment[2] (available for
organizations with 300 endpoints and above) spotlights critical,
exposed attack surfaces and provides actionable knowledge of
attacks that are currently alive and active in the environment:
➤ Indication of live attacks: active malware, connection to
C&C, data exfiltration, access to phishing links, user
credential theft attempts and others:
criticality:
industry average:
➤ User identity attack surface: risk scoring for each user
account.
The security assessment’s objective is to enable security
decision makers to get clear visibility into their actual security
needs, so they can make an informed decision on how to address them
within their available resources.
Given that the price of such an assessment for mid-enterprise
starts from ~$25K, it is a no-brainer offering organization should
seriously consider adopting.
In the course of the last couple of years, Cynet was deeply
involved in securing organizations from breaches. Closely
monitoring the threat landscape reflected in its install base,
Cynet identifies a sharp increase in the volume of live attacks it
encounters in new deployments.
“It becomes increasingly common to discover that an organization
already hosts various degrees of live malicious activity when we
come to deploy our platform,” says Eyal Gruner, Cynet’s CEO, and
co-founder.
“In such a situation, our initial task – though unplanned – is to
utilize Cynet to discover the environment’s active risks and clean
them up.”
existence and intensity, underestimating the attacker’s ability to
operate under the radar silently.
This gap between the actual threat reality and the false sense
of security drive Cynet take a proactive approach.
“Instead of responding to the unplanned discovery of threats in the
course of our product deployment, we offer a free comprehensive
security assessment, that addresses all the security issues we
typically encounter. This offering is open to all organizations
regardless if they are Cynet customers or not.”
“The most important point from our side is that these guys realize
the risk is actual and here. It’s not a matter of checking an
‘advanced security’ box to put management’s mind at ease. It’s a
pure, burning need and we want any organization to be able to see
it.”
