CyberQ Group’s comprehensive ASM service is engineered to provide an unparalleled view of your external security posture, enabling proactive defense against emerging cyber threats. Here’s a detailed look at the core components of our Attack Surface Management for UK Businesses:
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, your external attack surface is never static. New cloud services, remote work devices, and third-party integrations constantly introduce changes. Our ASM service provides real-time visibility into these shifts, ensuring you’re immediately aware of new exposures as they emerge. We continuously scan and map your entire digital footprint, giving you an up-to-the-minute understanding of what’s publicly accessible and susceptible to attack. This proactive monitoring is crucial for reducing your digital footprint and preventing cyber breaches before they can escalate.
We don’t just identify vulnerabilities; we empower you to fix them efficiently. Our ASM platform delivers prioritised security alerts that cut through the noise, highlighting the most critical risks demanding immediate attention. Each alert is accompanied by actionable remediation steps, providing clear, practical guidance tailored to your specific environment. This allows your security team to implement fixes swiftly, focusing resources on the threats that matter most and significantly reducing your cyber risk. This proactive cybersecurity approach ensures you’re always one step ahead, translating insights into immediate defensive action.
A significant portion of cyber-attacks exploit assets that organisations don’t even know they have. Our service specialises in the continuous discovery of internet-facing assets, meticulously mapping your entire external infrastructure. This includes not just your known domains and IP addresses, but also forgotten subdomains, shadow IT, misconfigured cloud instances, and other unknown assets that could serve as entry points for attackers. By providing a comprehensive external asset inventory, we eliminate critical blind spots and help you achieve true cyber exposure management, ensuring every potential entry point is accounted for.
Leveraging advanced algorithms and up-to-date threat intelligence, our ASM platform performs automated risk analysis to continuously assess the security posture of your discovered assets. We go beyond basic scans to identify complex vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential attack vectors. This intelligent vulnerability detection process allows us to pinpoint weaknesses that could be exploited by adversaries, giving you a clear picture of your external risk profile and enabling effective external threat prevention. Gain deep cybersecurity insights without the manual overhead, allowing your team to focus on strategic initiatives.
By continuously discovering and monitoring all your internet-facing assets, our ASM service helps you identify and eliminate unnecessary or forgotten exposures. This leads to a reduced digital footprint, meaning fewer entry points for malicious actors to exploit. By proactively addressing these vulnerabilities, we effectively minimize your attack exposure, significantly lowering the overall cyber risk to your organisation. This crucial benefit ensures that your most valuable assets are shielded from potential breaches.
Our ASM goes beyond simple scanning by providing prioritised alerts and actionable remediation steps. This intelligent approach transforms your vulnerability management processes, making them more efficient and effective. Instead of chasing countless alerts, your security team can focus on the most critical threats first, leading to efficient vulnerability remediation. This not only saves valuable time and resources but also ensures that your efforts are concentrated where they will have the greatest impact on strengthening your defenses.
The real-time visibility and continuous monitoring offered by our ASM service enable early threat detection. By identifying emerging vulnerabilities and exposures before they can be exploited, we significantly enhance your cyber resilience. This capability means your organisation is better prepared to withstand and quickly recover from cyber incidents. A proactive cybersecurity posture cultivated through early detection is vital for maintaining business continuity and protecting your operations from disruption.
Demonstrating control over your external attack surface is a fundamental requirement for many cybersecurity compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, NIS, ISO 27001). Our ASM service provides the comprehensive visibility, continuous monitoring, and detailed reporting necessary to meet stringent regulatory requirements and uphold governance best practices. By having a clear, documented understanding of your exposure and mitigation efforts, you can ensure data protection standards are met and achieve greater audit readiness, reducing potential fines and reputational damage.
Ultimately, the primary goal of our ASM service is to reduce the likelihood of successful external attacks. By continuously identifying and helping you remediate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across your internet-facing assets, we deny attackers easy entry points. Our combination of automated risk analysis and proactive threat intelligence allows your organisation to build a robust cyber defence strategy, effectively fortifying your digital perimeter against sophisticated threats and protecting your critical data and systems.
Taming Cloud Complexity.
As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategies, their digital boundaries become blurred and dynamic. Assets are distributed across various providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise infrastructure, often leading to blind spots and misconfigurations. Our ASM service provides the critical cloud asset visibility needed to consolidate and monitor these disparate environments, ensuring no cloud resource goes unmanaged. This is vital for maintaining a strong cloud security posture management (CSPM) and effective cloud risk mitigation.
Securing Your Evolving Landscape.
Digital transformation introduces new applications, services, and connectivity, rapidly expanding an organisation’s attack surface. Whether it’s deploying new web applications, integrating APIs, or adopting cutting-edge technologies, each step can inadvertently create new vulnerabilities. CyberQ Group’s ASM continuously maps and assesses these new elements, including focusing on API security and web application security. We help businesses secure digital initiatives by identifying and addressing new technology risk from the outset, ensuring innovation doesn’t come at the cost of security.
Managing Extended Risk.
Your security is only as strong as your weakest link, and often, that link lies within your supply chain. Enterprises rely heavily on third-party vendors, partners, and SaaS providers, each introducing a potential expansion of your extended attack surface. Our ASM service includes third-party risk identification and monitoring, helping you understand and manage the cyber exposure introduced by your vendors. This proactive supply chain cyber security approach is crucial for preventing incidents originating from a third-party vulnerability and strengthening your overall security ecosystem.
Empowering Strategic Security.
Many security teams find themselves constantly in a reactive mode, responding to incidents after they’ve occurred. CyberQ Group’s ASM is designed to enable a fundamental shift towards proactive cybersecurity. By providing real-time visibility, continuous discovery, and prioritised alerts, we empower security teams to anticipate and mitigate threats before they can impact the business. This supports a shift-left security approach, improving security team efficiency and allowing them to move beyond firefighting to focus on more strategic security operations and long-term resilience.
A leading UK Police force leveraged CyberQ Group’s ASM platform to significantly enhance their cybercrime investigative capabilities. Facing a complex series of coordinated phishing attacks on local businesses, their specialist online fraud unit utilised our ASM service to: Uncover Hidden Connections: Access and analyse dark web data, tracing stolen cryptocurrency funds and exposing perpetrator aliases and organised criminal networks. Anticipate Future Threats: Gain crucial intelligence on threat actors’ tactics (TTPs), enabling proactive warnings to businesses and developing effective cybercrime prevention strategies. Secure Convictions: Gather instrumental evidence that led to successful court convictions, strengthening community protection. Our ASM platform proved invaluable in moving from reactive response to proactive intelligence, delivering tangible results against sophisticated cyber threats.
