ActiveWatch
Hackers continuously searching your perimeter for exploitable vulnerabilities
What is ActiveWatch?
ActiveWatch merges continuous attack surface discovery and penetration testing of internet-facing systems and applications, to deliver only qualified, high-risk alerts on exploitable vulnerabilities that could compromise your organisation.
Security, infrastructure & cloud teams are consistently under pressure to manage an ever-growing, ever-changing attack surface as IT environments become more complex and distributed.
Between pentests, how do you know, continuously, when your perimeter has something that would interest an attacker?
Ways of understanding if your perimeter is vulnerable
Penetration testing, is high-quality, fast and deep, but is a snapshot in time and misses the vulnerabilities that show up in-between testing windows.
Vulnerability scanning, while scalable and reliable, generates a flood of information with time consuming false positive validation.
Bug bounties leave you wondering if the third parties have the skills or focus to uncover complex vulnerabilities while adhering to your rules.
The only way to cost-effectively perform continuous pentesting is to have the ability to continuously monitor and analyse your attack surface to prioritise risk mitigation.
Introducing ActiveWatch
ActiveWatch addresses the limitations of vulnerability scanning and pentesting by integrating both methodologies, ensuring continuous attack surface monitoring.
How does ActiveWatch work?
ActiveWatch employs a suite of customised tooling in an effective workflow that detects early signals and indicators that seasoned hackers recognise as precursors to deeper vulnerabilities. Upon detecting these signals, our expert team conducts manual verification and investigation, avoiding false positives and delivering only high quality, impactful alerts.
The ActiveWatch Workflow
The ActiveWatch data to signals workflow thoroughly enumerates your external attack surface, generating signals that are interesting to a hacker while storing historical data for later analysis should we learn something new.
1. Data Collection
Using targets you provide as a start, all tools, data sources and enumeration capabilities are run on a regular schedule, and stored for analysis.
2. Signals & Alerting
Data generated from automations is analysed for juicy signals that imply something a hacker should look deeper at.Signals can also be triggered by the release of new vulnerabilities that necessitate custom tooling.
3. Hacking
Signals and their sources are manually analysed for exploitable vulnerabilities by penetration testers. Where safe to do so, vulnerabilities are exploited to ensure we only send high-quality alerts and recommendations to clients.
