Pinpoint and Prioritize Cyber Vulnerabilities
Agile Risk Enumeration Algorithm – AREA
Challenge
Traditional risk management approaches have difficulty keeping up with the velocity and volume of cyber vulnerabilities and exploits. Often, precious cybersecurity resources are poorly allocated and miss critical vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. Exacerbating this problem is the significant shortage of skilled cyber staff.
• Though only 2–7% of all published cyber vulnerabilities are exploited, 53 % of organizations do not prioritize risks, threats, and impacts based on risk quantification techniques.
• More than 60% of organizations have been victims of cyberattacks due to known vulnerabilities where patches were available.
• “Binning” is a subjective practice and is prone to misdirecting remediation efforts.
• CVSS (the Common Vulnerability Scoring System) prioritization lacks context, does not provide Agile remediation priorities, and does not consider real-time threat intelligence or adversary tactics.
Immature risk management processes coupled with IT staff shortages and skills gaps expose organizations to greater risk — just as the frequency and severity of cyberattacks are on the rise globally
Solution
AREA accelerates the response to your most pressing cyber threats and exposures. AREA leverages machine learning algorithms to provide real-time assessments of your current threat scenario. AREA Solution:
• Continuously gather telemetry data on each vulnerability to determine risk remediation priority
• Establishes vulnerability context, based on:
– Asset categorization and ownership
– Threat Intelligence (threat actors, exploits, adversary nations) on discovered vulnerabilities.
– Adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures used to exploit vulnerability.
• Enumerates risk based on vulnerability context using disruptive ML algorithms.
• Incorporates CISA’s SSVC Framework
• Provides a manageable list of remediation priorities.
• Enforces accountability on vulnerability remediation.
