Know What You Own: Meet DataBee’s Vulnerability & Asset Exposure Management

Picture your house and everything inside your home. Now, imagine tasking yourself with creating a list of everything from big ticket home items to even the smallest knickknacks. And don't be shy to log every problem too: every piece of cracked paint, every dead battery, every piece of clothing that no longer fits. Then, call the right person to ensure you listed everything accurately and to fix those problems... Are you overwhelmed yet?

It’s a lot, and it’s a task every modern security organization is responsible for on the daily. Cybersecurity teams of all sizes and complexity struggle to maintain records of their assets and applications, manage the vulnerabilities that often come with them, and find the right owner to remediate those vulnerabilities.

Finding the “who” can be harder than figuring out the “what”

In cybersecurity and IT, knowing what is in your systems allows you to detect and respond to incidents and vulnerabilities quickly and thoroughly. If you don’t have a trustworthy inventory of assets and applications, how do you know if your organization needs to address the latest zero-day making headlines? How do you know where you need to roll out patches when you learn of a new set of application vulnerabilities? How do you know you’ve patched all affected systems?

And maybe the biggest blocker isn’t the challenge of finding vulnerabilities; maybe it is accurately or quickly identifying corresponding asset or application owners who should actually be responsible for fixing those vulnerabilities.

Organizations, due to a lack of organization, are wasting time on laborious guesswork to find owners of orphaned assets and ownerless applications, often resulting in longer incident response times, decreased productivity, and failures to hit remediation service level agreements (SLAs).

Mining data to identify asset owners

But does it have to be this way? What if you could receive data-informed suggestions for your orphaned assets and applications’ potential owners so you could call the right person the first time you try to match owner to asset? What if you could get actionable context related to vulnerabilities beyond just an IP or hostname? What if you could see into vulnerability scanners’ blind spots?

You can. Meet DataBee for Vulnerability and Asset Exposure Management, introduced earlier this year to help organizations streamline and improve asset management and vulnerability remediation.

Vulnerability and Asset Exposure Management will help empower organizations to:

1. Build an asset and application inventory: Leverage DataBee’s security data fabric to compile a data-driven and more accurate device and application inventory.
2. Find owners quickly: Identify asset and application owners automatically based on security and organizational data to automate remediation ticket assignment with high accuracy.
3. Remediate blind spots in your vulnerability scan coverage: Identify assets and applications in your inventory that haven’t been scanned.
4. Identify potential compliance and control gaps: Proactively detect delinquent assets and vulnerable applications that may be noncompliant with organizational policy or local or federal regulations.
5. Tackle an ever-increasing bucket of unresolved findings: Utilize context from our security data fabric to enrich vulnerability findings with actionable business context.
6. Find the right people to handle your problem: Use data-informed insights to identify key stakeholders quickly and accurately, enabling improved incident response and event management.
7. Fast time to remediation: Increased visibility to bolster SLA remediation efforts.
8. Take quick and comprehensive action: Identify all instances of device, application or operating systems in your organization with the click of a button when the next zero-day drops.
