NCC Group Partners with CyCognito to Provide External Attack Surface Management Solution

NCC Group announced that it has added CyCognito’s technology to its Attack Surface Management portfolio to help clients discover all of their externally facing assets and mitigate the risk of critical points of exposure that attackers can most easily exploit.

An increase in targeted attacks, phishing scams and ransomware incidents are exposing vulnerable systems outside of an organization’s identified controllable assets.

Through NCC Group’s External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution, enabled by CyCognito technology, NCC Group’s experts view an organization’s external facing assets from an attacker’s perspective to continuously map the attack surface and identity potential exploits, helping them to take back control through recommended remediation activities based on what is of highest risk and priority.

With regular discovery scans to keep on top of all external facing assets and regular security scans to identify vulnerabilities and security risks, organizations can have confidence that they have full visibility of their external estate and a clear view of the true risks and vulnerabilities in their external environment.

Doug Klotnia, NCC Group’s global capability lead for Managed Services, comments: “Without a clear horizon view of their attack surface, it’s difficult for an organization to truly understand security gaps, potential vulnerabilities, and defence capabilities across their environments. By integrating CyCognito’s technology into NCC Group’s Unified Cyber Platform, we can provide clients with that crucial visibility of security incidents, recommendations and priorities in a single pane of glass.”

Randy Streu, SVP Channels & Alliances at Cycognito, adds: “In collaboration with our partners, we offer organizations access to an industry-leading platform for identifying externally exposed systems and digital assets that may be unknown, uncontrolled, or abandoned. Our strategic alliance with NCC Group ensures that organizations receive expert guidance and tailored managed solutions, enabling them to effectively safeguard themselves against even the most sophisticated attackers.”
