Sevco Security Introduces First Cybersecurity Asset Attack Surface Dashboards

Sevco Security | December 14, 2022 | Read time : 03:50 min

Sevco Security, the cloud-native security asset intelligence platform for enterprises that want an accurate IT inventory, today introduced the industry’s first cybersecurity asset attack surface analytics dashboards. The new dashboards extend the Sevco platform to give CISO and IT leaders deep insights into the security coverage and state of their IT assets, enabling security teams to identify and eliminate security gaps in the enterprise cyberattack surface.

Enterprise environments increasingly include a wide range of hardware, software, mobile devices, cloud infrastructure, and other IT assets as the fundamental backbone for operating the business and engaging with customers. However, with management of assets often spread across departments and geographies, it has become increasingly difficult for executive leadership to understand the security state of all their assets and to maintain accuracy in a dynamic environment. Equally challenging is the inability to gain insights into abandoned or stale IT assets to effectively mitigate the security risks that they introduce.

Complex enterprise environments are increasingly experiencing incomplete security coverage with upwards of 19% of assets that have missing or stale security controls like endpoint protection and patch management. The new Sevco Security dashboards fill a critical gap in cybersecurity attack surface management by providing context-based analysis of enterprise-wide assets that surfaces risks associated with IT hygiene, compliance, and policy enforcement.

“As organizations innovate and expand their asset footprint, they must have seamless visibility into the security state of their assets because they cannot manage what they cannot measure. “Sevco Security delivers the critical data for CISOs to thoroughly understand their cybersecurity asset attack surface and confidently report their defensive security posture to the board.”

J.J. Guy, co-founder and CEO of Sevco Security

With the new expansion to its platform, Sevco Security provides customers with data rich and customizable dashboard reports, including:

Security coverage:

Provides critical insights on asset security controls, allowing customers to identify gaps in coverage and proactively protect the previously unknown attack surface. This also empowers companies to manage internal governance and regulatory compliance requirements to monitor and validate that their security investments are fully deployed.

Asset snapshots:

Captures the detailed attributes of the assets across the infrastructure, such as IP address, user, and operating system so customers can quickly see the state of any device at any point of time. With asset snapshots, incident response and IT team members can quickly identify when an asset change occurred and manage decisions on restoring an asset to a previous state.

Timeline trending:

Enterprise assets are tracked on a daily trendline empowering IT and security leaders to gain context of what’s typical for their environment and to readily view spikes and outlier activity. Out-of-the-box trending data is automatically captured for total devices, new devices, inactive devices in the last 15 days, total users, and new users.

Custom, interactive dashboards:

In addition to the pre-built dashboards, users can create and save unlimited queries on their asset telemetry to produce customized insights dashboards. This puts asset data analysis at users’ fingertips, providing an easy way to obtain tailored insights in a top-level dashboard. All dashboards are interactive, allowing users to ‘click’ and drill deeper into the data for pinpoint clarity on a particular area of interest.

Complex asset environments are a normal operating fabric for businesses. Sevco Security is dedicated to helping organizations capture a comprehensive view of their asset ecosystem and readily identify and address any security risks they pose. The new cybersecurity asset attack surface dashboards are now available to customers.

How to Prepare For & Respond to Ransomware in Operational Technology Environments

Targeted intrusions for gaining long-term access and collecting data about industrial control systems (ICS) are becoming much more frequent. Many of these attacks are about understanding the network and preparing for future activities without causing any immediate impact. The most recent Dragos Year in Review6 report shows that the ransomware groups Lockbit 2.0 and Conti were responsible for more than half of the observed ransomware attacks in industrial environments in 2021, and that these instances resulted in actions on objectives. These attacks have been observed in almost every industrial vertical, primarily targeting small to medium-sized organizations in manufacturing.
