Utilizes Active, In-The-Wild Exploitation Data to Help
Cybersecurity Teams Manage Vulnerability Response and Remediation
More Effectively
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GreyNoise Intelligence, the
cybersecurity company providing real-time, verifiable threat
intelligence into internet scanning and exploitation, today
introduced a new vulnerability intelligence solution that helps
internal security teams more effectively manage their response and
remediation to new vulnerabilities and exploits. GreyNoise for
Vulnerability Prioritization provides active, In-the-Wild (ITW)
exploitation data to assist vulnerability management teams with
patch prioritization and emergency response scenarios.
"GreyNoise provides the missing link to
help cybersecurity teams effectively prioritize critical patches
and execute immediate countermeasures to new emerging
vulnerabilities and exploits," said Ash Devata, CEO,
GreyNoise.
"GreyNoise now provides real-time insight into active ITW
exploitation activity that no one else provides," said Ash Devata,
CEO, GreyNoise. "In doing so, it provides the missing link to help
cybersecurity teams effectively prioritize critical patches and
execute immediate countermeasures to new emerging vulnerabilities
and exploits."
Patching software is often disruptive and time-consuming, and
introduces business risks such as service downtime, disruption to
other priorities, and potentially lost revenue. In order to justify
these risks, vulnerability management teams need clear and
compelling data to illustrate the necessity of taking a system
offline to implement a patch. Data that clarifies the likelihood of
exploitation has become a critical consideration factor in making
decisions about whether or not to immediately patch a system.
"There are many existing vulnerability prioritization solutions
that include information like 'Known Exploits Available' or 'In the
Wild' – the issue is that these attributes quickly become stale,"
said Corey Bodzin, Chief Product
Officer, GreyNoise. "Technically, a snippet of proof-of-concept
code is an available exploit, but it isn't the same as a mass
exploitation attack by a criminal organization. A hard-to-exploit
race condition that requires a lot of time and effort might be 'In
the Wild,' but that doesn't require the same urgency to fix as
something an actor is actively exploiting today. Only GreyNoise can
tell vulnerability teams which CVEs need attention now based on
what attacks are actually happening today."
GreyNoise is the first company to offer active, real-time ITW
exploitation data, one of the most compelling evidence points to
consider when determining the best course of defense against a
specific vulnerability. This unique data serves as a very strong
indicator about the likelihood of exploitation, and can be used to
help cybersecurity teams not only quickly determine the criticality
of a specific patch, but also convince cross-functional teams to
take necessary action.
"Cybersecurity teams are constantly barraged by an increasing
number of critical vulnerabilities that need to be patched. The
industry needs a better way to identify which ones are truly
critical and time-sensitive," said Andrew
Morris, Founder and Chief Architect, GreyNoise Intelligence.
"Providing high quality, real-time data about active ITW
exploitation will not only help vulnerability management teams make
better decisions about what fixes to prioritize, it will enable
them to do a better job of defending against emerging threats more
broadly."
GreyNoise provides clear and compelling data to help
vulnerability management teams determine which patches are truly
critical and time-sensitive. By understanding active ITW
exploitation patterns, teams can make decisions with a higher
degree of confidence and implement immediate, effective
countermeasures such as targeted and dynamic IP blocklist during
exposure windows.
"In today's modern IT environments of increasing assets and
attack surfaces, security teams are challenged with remediating an
overload of vulnerabilities," said David
Vance, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.
"Addressing the most impactful vulnerabilities on the highest risk
assets is crucial to effectively managing cyber risk posture. The
new GreyNoise solution goes beyond aggregation of threat
intelligence data – it provides real-time intelligence on what is
actively happening in the wild by collecting data through its vast
global network of sensors. Security teams can incorporate this
intelligence into their vulnerability management process to make
accurate, impactful decisions to prioritize needed vulnerability
remediation and minimize overall risk to their business."
