Brad LaPorte, Former Gartner Analyst & Cybersecurity Industry Expert, guides you through the journey that leads from ASM 1.0 to the future of Attack Surface Management.

With more than three-in-five companies targeted by software supply chain attacks in 2021, the external attack surface is the new threat vector — and it grows day by day.

Brad's eBook discusses the limitations of today's methods, explains why ASM 1.0 is sub-optimal for the real time and dynamic landscape beyond your network borders, and details how ASM 2.0 is an opportunity to transform your approach to digital business risks.

We spoke with a multinational corporation that employs threat reconnaissance to improve security. The idea that good organizations can have the ability to conduct recon on the bad actors is only recently surfacing among the most risk averse enterprises. However, it is threat hunting as it should be.

• Extract more value from existing threat intelligence
• Expose shadow IT
• Identify and block impending attacks

How to Achieve Tangible Financial Gains and a Proactive Security Posture

Team Cymru commissioned Forrester Consulting to quantify the positive financial impact of external threat hunting using Team Cymru's Pure Signal™ Recon solution. Supply chain risk is top of mind for most organizations. The company in this study applied external threat hunting to this challenge and is now able to tell third-party vendors when they've been compromised before those vendors even realize it themselves. Learn more about how this organization has achieved 488% ROI over 3 years with payback in less than 6 months.

This infographic outlines the quantifiable results of applying external threat hunting to the third-party risk challenge. See the impact of making external threat hunting a strategic priority.

• Detect supply chain threats.
• Reduce M&A cyber risk.
• Improve gains from existing budgets.
• Reduce operational drain from phishing attacks.

How to Achieve Tangible Financial Gains and a Proactive Security Posture

For most threat analysts and incident response teams, their biggest obstacle is visibility that abruptly ends at the firewall. Their threat hunting is reactive and restricted to looking within their network for threats other tools have missed.

However, many companies aspire to achieve a more mature security program that better leverages their analyst teams. Those companies that achieve the next level of maturity are employing external threat hunting to get ahead of threats, enrich the SOC, and optimize incident response. Team Cymru commissioned Forrester Consulting to quantify the financial impact of this advanced approach using Team Cymru's Pure Signal Recon solution.

Learn the positive financial impact Pure Signal Recon makes on...

• Block attacks before they're launched.
• Detect supply chain threats.
• Reduce M&A cyber risk.
• Improve gains from existing budgets.
• Reduce operational drain from phishing attacks.

Large financial services companies are prime targets for a broad variety of threat actors, including the most persistent nation-state sponsored outfits. From closing gaps in visibility to achieving a more proactive security posture, the following whitepaper illustrates how any organization can benefit from the access to Pure Signal™.

• Preemptive mapping of APTs and preventing incident recurrence;
• Building a complete picture out of the fragments received from other vendors;
• Gaining ground against phishing attacks;
• Detecting and determining the objectives of scanners.
• Reduce operational drain from phishing attacks.

Most security teams believe they are doing a fair job of managing risks and defending against attackers, but many underestimate the strategic investments and tactical controls necessary to manage all of their external IT assets. This report from Dark Reading, commissioned by Team Cymru, uncovers data that makes a strong case for the adoption of the new generation of External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solutions, what is now being referred to as ASM 2.0. Unlike those that came before, today's EASM is a more efficient and effective way to handle external IT asset risk and get security team capabilities more aligned with their overly optimistic perceptions.

Over 1,700 IT and IT security professionals across North America, Latin America, the UK and Europe responded to a Ponemon Institute study, commissioned by Team Cymru.

The results indicate that practitioners are working towards building more mature analyst teams and threat hunting capabilities, yet leadership lacks a firm understanding of the role these components should play in the overall security strategy.

The study tracks the level of importance placed on security analysts, as well as the maturity and efficacy of threat hunting.

Responses indicate that approaches are still largely reactionary, while analysts and threat hunting are viewed as tactical elements, as opposed to strategic catalysts for security optimization.

• Only 35% of respondents believe their organizations value and effectively leverage the expertise of their analyst teams.
• 50% of incidents resulting in significant disruption were repeat attacks by the same threat actor.
• 70% find it very difficult to gain an attacker's perspective on their organization.
• 61% say threat intelligence can't keep up with changes in how threat actors attack their organizations.

Find out how cyber security leaders should adjust to address the gaps exposed in this report. Read the report, then let Team Cymru help you elevate your threat hunters to elite status.

Learn the impact external threat hunting can make on third-party risk management:

• Detect supply chain threats.
• Reduce M&A cyber risk.
• Improve gains from existing budgets.
• Reduce operational drain from phishing attacks.

The attack surfaces of most organizations continue to expand due to the frantic rush to digital transformation. While all of these changes are almost unavoidable from revenue-generation and operational perspectives, they cause major challenges for security teams.

Our new Solutions Brief, written by Brad LaPorte, Gartner Veteran & Industry Expert, covers the top five use cases that your ASM tool should help you take on.
