TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Vulcan Cyber, a leading developer of cyber risk management platforms, has recently announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph. This new technology aims to assist cybersecurity and IT operations teams in visualizing attack paths and understanding the impact of security posture based on cascading vulnerability risk. By providing extreme context and prioritizing cloud-native vulnerability risks, Vulcan Cyber is revolutionizing vulnerability management and remediation to eliminate critical cyber risks for its customers.
In today’s increasingly frequent and severe cybersecurity landscape, traditional vulnerability management and prioritization tools are struggling to keep up. The widespread adoption of cloud services and complex network infrastructures has made vulnerability mitigation more challenging than ever. Recognizing this need, Vulcan Cyber has designed the Attack Path Graph to provide a comprehensive view of all cyber assets and their interconnected relationships. By leveraging robust vulnerability risk data and contextualized risk prioritization, this groundbreaking technology delivers unmatched vulnerability risk management for impactful remediation.
According to Yaniv Bar-Dayan, the CEO and co-founder of Vulcan Cyber, the legacy vulnerability prioritization and risk scoring systems fail to consider the asset or business service context, as well as the overall interconnectedness of the digital enterprise. He further explains that generic threat severity rankings often create irrelevant distractions and waste valuable remediation resources. The Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph addresses these challenges by granting security teams the ability to visualize potential attack paths from an attacker’s perspective. This empowers them to prioritize and mitigate the most critical threats to their organizations, offering unparalleled vulnerability risk prioritization for highly efficient cyber risk mitigation.
The Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph offers several unmatched capabilities that set it apart from traditional vulnerability management tools. Firstly, it provides coverage for various attack surfaces including cloud, network infrastructure, endpoint, application, and code-based surfaces. This enables organizations to assess their vulnerabilities comprehensively. Additionally, the Attack Path Graph offers predictive risk prioritization and exposure impact modeling, providing teams with an attacker’s view of infrastructure vulnerability and exposure.
Moreover, the technology enables advanced asset and vulnerability risk prioritization by eliminating false positives and focusing on the most critical vulnerability risks using advanced attack-path context. This helps security teams effectively communicate asset risk and vulnerability impact to all stakeholders involved in remediation. By directing remediation resources at the most critical vulnerabilities, organizations can optimize their risk mitigation efforts.
Furthermore, the Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph goes beyond vulnerability prioritization by orchestrating risk mitigation. It equips organizations with the tools to make informed remediation decisions, allowing them to strategically manage and reduce exposure windows. This results in a substantial reduction in actual business risk, leading to a more secure network environment.
The initial release of the Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph supports AWS Cloud, providing the ability to analyze security groups, ACLs, and subnets to create a host topology map. This map identifies host vulnerability risks and supplements them with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques to identify potential attack paths throughout the network. These capabilities allow the Attack Path Graph to deliver advanced vulnerability risk prioritization based on actual criticality relevant to the user’s network.
While some environment-specific vulnerability scanners may offer attack path modeling, they only provide a siloed view of a limited data set focused on specific attack surfaces. Vulcan Cyber is the only platform that offers attack path modeling across all attack surfaces, combining vulnerability data from all scanners. This comprehensive approach allows for the most advanced and contextualized vulnerability prioritization and scoring.
To learn more about the Vulcan Cyber Attack Path Graph, interested individuals can visit their website or register for an upcoming webinar on August 24, where the Vulcan Cyber team will provide a demo of the new technology.
