Pure Signal™ Scout: External Threat Intelligence FAQs
Enhance your organization's threat detection capabilities with Pure Signal™ Scout.
External Threat Intelligence refers to the collection and analysis of information about threats originating outside an organization's network. It encompasses data on threat actors, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), as well as indicators of compromise (IOCs) observed across the internet. Unlike internal threat intelligence, which focuses on threats within an organization's own systems, external threat intelligence provides insights into the broader threat landscape.
By leveraging external threat intelligence, organizations can:
Anticipate Attacks: Gain awareness of emerging threats and vulnerabilities exploited in the wild.
Understand Threat Actors: Learn about the motives and methods of attackers targeting similar organizations.
Strengthen Defenses: Implement proactive measures based on real-world threat data.
Integrating external threat intelligence into your security strategy enhances situational awareness and enables a more robust, proactive defense posture.
While both types of intelligence aim to bolster an organization's security, they differ in scope and focus:
Internal Threat Intelligence:
Scope: Focuses on threats and vulnerabilities within or connected to the organization's network and systems.
Data Sources: Internal logs, incident reports, employee activity, and system alerts.
Purpose: Identifies internal vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or insider threats.
EASM platforms are crucial in scenarios involving:
Cloud Adoption and Remote WorkforcesManaging assets in dynamic environmentsIoT and Third-Party Integrations
Addressing vulnerabilities introduced by connected devices and partners
Regulatory Compliance
Meeting governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) needs
Mergers and Acquisitions
Exposing inherited risks in M&A targetsStrategic Cyber Defense PlanningEASM platforms can provide insights for organizations mapping their defense programs to MITRE ATT&ACK frameworkPlatforms like Orbit enable security teams to continuously discover, map, and monitor attack surfaces, and identify at-risk assets, with the goal to mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
EASM addresses challenges such as:Talent and Expertise Gaps:
Providing enterprise-grade exposure management for organizations lacking in-house expertise.
Real-Time Threat Detection:
Supporting mature organizations with advanced detection and response needs.
Proactive Defense Shifts:
Enabling a move from reactive to proactive cybersecurity strategies.
Third-Party Risks:
Managing sophisticated threats from expanding third-party ecosystems.
Benefits include: In-Depth Visibility:A comprehensive view of external IT assets and digital landscapes.
Risk-Based Prioritization:Automated scoring and trusted threat data for continuous monitoring.
Enhanced Investigations:Contextual threat intelligence for focusing on critical risks.
Improved Workflows:Integration with security platforms for cohesive threat and vulnerability management.
Regulatory Compliance:Supporting GRC requirements and avoiding penalties.
Key use cases include
Asset Discovery and Mapping: Ensuring unmanaged assets don't go unnoticed.
Vulnerability Management:Prioritizing threats based on severity and relevance.
Incident Response and Management:Streamlining threat identification and accelerating response times.
Compliance and Risk Management:Supporting governance and exposing risks in M&A scenarios.
Third-Party risk monitoring:Enabling proactive visibility of supply chain and third-party risks to be discovered and alerted on.
Yes, organizations can measure ROI by evaluating.
Risk Reduction:Assessing decreased vulnerabilities and prevented security incidents.
Efficiency Improvements: Calculating operational cost savings from streamlined processes.
Incident Response Impact: Measuring reductions in Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR).
By tracking these metrics over time, organizations can quantify the value delivered by EASM platforms like Orbit.
External Attack Surface Management (EASM) differs from traditional digital asset management approaches like Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) by focusing exclusively on an organization's external-facing assets as seen from an attacker's perspective. While CAASM provides a comprehensive inventory of all cyber assets—including internal systems and devices—by aggregating data from internal sources, EASM zeroes in on discovering, monitoring, and assessing assets that are exposed to the internet. This includes identifying unknown or unmanaged assets, shadow IT, and vulnerabilities that may not be visible through internal management tools, or omitted from asset inventories due to error, oversight or lack of process.
By adopting an outside-in approach, EASM enables organizations to understand and mitigate risks that external threat actors could exploit, offering a proactive and attacker-centric strategy that complements internal asset management practices.
Organizations need EASM because:
Dynamically Changing Threat Landscape:
Vulnerable digital assets are extensively used in cyber attacks and can manifest faster than IT can maintain pace with.
Rapid Digital Expansion:
Security teams struggle to keep pace with business growth that introduces hidden risks.
Proactive Risk Management:
EASM platforms allow security teams to efficiently discover digital assets, attribute ownership, and reveal risks before they are exploited.Best practice reduces risks.
Frameworks such as NIST help to provide structure for external assets
