XM Cyber, which provides continuous exposure management technology, added new capabilities for helping enterprises prioritize and address critical exposures within a multi-cloud environment. In addition to identifying over-privileges, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that expose cloud resources to attackers, XM Cyber highlighted the most high-impact exposures that should be first remediated, providing the necessary information to address them.
This innovation empowers cloud security teams to build an actionable remediation plan to prevent high-impact attacks, increase efficiency and enable accurate reporting on true risks across multi-cloud infrastructures. Furthermore, XM Cyber analyzes attack paths that span on-premise and cloud environments, ensuring comprehensive protection against threats that traverse hybrid enterprise environments.
“As we analyze breaches and attack kill chains, we find exposures like misconfigurations and weak identities in multi-cloud that compromise critical assets on-prem and in the cloud,” said Zur Ulianitzky, VP of security research, XM Cyber. “Attackers will leverage your multi-cloud environment to identify an exposed public-facing asset or to elevate permissions to gain privileged access. Cloud environments are complex, and contain a high number of exposures. Therefore, Security teams must be able to easily find the most critical attack paths and proactively address advanced attack techniques in cloud environments. In addition, they need to have a capability to stop attacks that move across cloud and on-prem environments.”
To assist cloud security teams in mitigating high-impact exposures and thwarting sophisticated attacks, XM Cyber instantly highlights:
- Choke points.
- Highly-privileged access.
- Details surrounding potential breach points, attack techniques, permissions use and remediation alternatives.
