Continuous External Threat Management (CETM)

Continuous External Threat Management (CETM) is an integral part of a proactive cybersecurity strategy, helping organizations stay ahead of external threats and respond effectively to potential risks. It involves a combination of technology, processes, and human expertise to create a resilient defense against a dynamic and evolving threat landscape.

XeneX CETM is an approach to cybersecurity that involves the ongoing monitoring, detection, and mitigation of external threats targeting an organization's digital assets and information systems. It emphasizes real-time awareness, proactive threat hunting, and continuous improvement of security measures to address the evolving threat landscape.

XeneX CETM is a cloud-based non-intrusive tool and service for assessing and evaluating the potential cybersecurity risks that an organization faces from external threats and vulnerabilities. It focuses on identifying and analyzing the security risks associated with the organization's internet-facing systems, services, and assets that are accessible from outside its internal network. The goal of XeneX Risk Profiler is to understand the organization's exposure to external cyber threats and vulnerabilities and develop appropriate strategies to mitigate these risks effectively.

 XeneX offers several benefits to organizations looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture and protect against external threats: 

  • Reduced Attack Surface: XeneX Risk Profiler allows organizations to identify and analyze their internet-facing assets and systems. By gaining visibility into their external attack surface, organizations can identify unnecessary or vulnerable assets and take appropriate actions to reduce their attack surface, minimizing potential entry points for attackers.

  • Improved Risk Management: XeneX Risk Profiler conducts regular vulnerability assessments and threat analysis, which enables organizations to proactively identify and prioritize security risks. This allows XeneX to implement targeted risk mitigation strategies and allocate resources effectively to address the most critical vulnerabilities. 

  • Enhanced Security Awareness: XeneX Risk Profiler encourages a security-conscious culture within the organization. By understanding the risks associated with their internet-facing assets, employees and stakeholders become more vigilant about security best practices and potential threats. 

  • Timely Incident Response: With XeneX Risk Profiler organizations can detect potential security incidents more quickly. Rapid detection allows for a faster response, limiting the impact of attacks and minimizing data breaches or other cyber incidents. 

  • Compliance and Regulatory Adherence: XeneX Risk Profiler helps organizations comply with cybersecurity regulations and standards that require the protection of internet-facing assets and data. It ensures that the organization's security measures align with industry best practices and legal requirements. 

  • Third-Party Risk Management: XeneX Risk Profiler can help assess the security posture of third-party vendors and partners with access to the organization's external attack surface. This helps ensure that third-party relationships do not introduce additional cybersecurity risks. 

  • Proactive Cyber Threat Mitigation: XeneX Risk Profiler allows organizations to stay ahead of potential cyber threats. By continuously monitoring and updating security measures, XeneX can proactively address emerging threats and vulnerabilities. 

  • Business Continuity and Resilience: By reducing the attack surface and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies, XeneX Risk Profiler help with better business continuity and resilience. This minimizes disruptions caused by cyber incidents, ensuring that critical services and operations remain available. 

  • Efficient Resource Allocation: XeneX Risk Profiler helps organizations allocate their cybersecurity resources more efficiently by focusing on high-risk assets and vulnerabilities. This optimizes resource allocation and avoids unnecessary expenses on less critical areas. 

  • Protecting Brand Reputation: A successful cyberattack can have a severe impact on an organization's brand reputation. XeneX Risk Profiler helps prevent security breaches and data leaks, preserving customer trust and confidence. 

XeneX provides comprehensive support for popular cloud platforms including Azure, AWS and Google. XeneX’s platform integration with public clouds will send events to the XeneX manager for analysis in order to classify the events within a range of alerts that can be easily viewed. With several security dashboard covering platforms, users, activities and the ability to identify anomalous user behavior or activities in the cloud platforms, XeneX can prevent breached before they happen. XeneX provides autonomous response to quickly isolate and eliminate potential attacks
