Enhanced situational awareness into potential vulnerabilities bolsters existing security initiatives in hybrid/work-from-anywhere environments.
This is a sponsored article brought to you by NetAlly.
NetAlly CyberScopeTM is designed to address the unique cybersecurity needs of hybrid/work-from-anywhere environments often associated with the site level. At this level, there are many frequently significant cyber turbulences as well as the elevated risk of unknown vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.
The cybersecurity site assessment workflow is simplified with the five-step CyberScope process.
Let’s dig in and learn a bit more about each of these:
1. DISCOVER - Probe endpoints and networks.
First, know your network – every device – on the wire or in the air. Network discovery is a critical cybersecurity best practice, providing valuable information about the network infrastructure, layout, devices and services that are present.
2. IDENTIFY - Classify devices as authorized, unauthorized, neighbor or unknown.
All discovered devices and even endpoint manufacturers can be classified as Authorized, Unauthorized, Neighbor or Unknown. On-device sorting and filtering makes it easy to identify outliers. CyberScope can verify proper segmentation of both wired and Wi-Fi networks at the point of access with clear pass/fail indication while also examining switch ports for proper provisioning.
3. LOCATE - Locate endpoints fast – on the wire or in the air.
Path analysis is critical to understand how devices are interconnected. CyberScope provides complete port-by-port details of the network path – both wired and wireless – to any device. This is crucial when hunting down unknown or nefarious devices.
4. ANALYZE - Study endpoints for vulnerabilities.
Nmap identifies potential vulnerabilities like open backdoors, malware and poorly configured firewalls and intrusion detection systems. However, the cryptic nature of Nmap’s command line interface and excessive textual output prevents many security and network engineers and technicians from using it to its fullest extent.
5. REPORT - Generate reports, collaborate and share.
Reporting is easy using the Link-Live collaboration platform with features including results comparisons, discovery snapshots, and heat and topology maps. Link-Live provides organization-wide management of all NetAlly analyzers and results via secure cloud.
CyberScope - the world’s first comprehensive handheld cybersecurity analyzer - does all this, providing complete site visibility and peace of mind.
