More than 2,200 cyberattacks will occur every day in 2023, setting a new record for frequency. A data breach will cost a record $4.88 million in the United States in 2024, since costs are rising concurrently. Your company needs an early warning system that identifies possible data breaches and notifies you to take action before more harm is done in order to prevent an expensive attack. The IBM X-Force Cyber Exposure Insights Service offers information on digital identities, social media, unauthorised brand usage, data exposure, and suspicious domains in addition to surface, deep, and dark web monitoring.
In today’s dynamic threat landscape, organisations need real-time situational awareness of their exposed systems, networks, and assets. Companies can greatly reduce their cyberattack risk by rapidly identifying these weaknesses. Enterprises can enhance their digital footprint security and avert potential threats by subscribing to IBM X-Force Cyber Insights, a service under IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence services.
This solution offers two key benefits: The capacity to find at-risk credentials before thieves do, and continuous surface, deep, and dark web surveillance to identify any safety concerns. It also provides customised digital risk prevention services, such as email warnings for unusual events and periodic operational assessments. For USD 70,000 per year, you can get up to five takedowns.
Cyber Exposure Management
With IBM X-Force Cyber Exposure Management Service, the following are its salient features:
- Key qualifications in jeopardy: Identify credentials that are vulnerable to being exploited to breach a company’s security or access its systems without authorisation. To prevent credential abuse, one must keep an eye out for phishing attempts and other related activities.
- Seek out examples of brand imitation and keep an eye out for any indications of impending attacks on social media.
- Suspicious domain monitoring: Keeps an eye on dubious websites that can be connected to harmful activity like drive-by downloads or phishing initiatives.
- Reduces your online risk with takedowns: Provides takedowns.
Organisations are empowered to approach cybersecurity strategically and pro-actively by using X-Force. It promises to offer the most advanced analytics, knowledge, and threat information available. By minimising their attack surface, lowering the likelihood of expensive breaches, and staying ahead of emerging threats, organisations can benefit from the X-Force Cyber Exposure Insights Service.
Modern digital security is more complicated than ever. Data is growing, making management and security harder. Cyberattacks using stolen or compromised credentials have climbed 71% year over year, and 1 in 3 data breaches involve shadow data. A data breach can now cost an organisation a staggering USD 4.88 million by 2024, thus it is imperative that they keep up with the times and safeguard their digital footprints.
Leading obstacles in managing cyber exposure
Modern organisations have numerous issues when it comes to managing cyber exposure. Tracking and identifying all potential vulnerabilities can be challenging due to the vast and intricate digital footprint they have, which consists of multiple networks, devices, and systems. Effective monitoring capabilities are hampered by poor visibility, lack of threat intelligence, and resource limitations, such as a lack of funds, manpower, and experience.
It is necessary to continuously monitor and adapt to the dynamic threat landscape since new vulnerabilities and attack vectors appear on a daily basis. To make matters worse, it might be difficult to recognise and rank such dangers due to the deluge of data produced by surveillance systems. Because of these difficulties, controlling cyber vulnerability requires a thorough and proactive strategy.
Cyber Exposure Insights’ approach to addressing the issues
Threat Intelligence Services offered by IBM X-Force now include Cyber Exposure Insights, a response to these dynamic threats. Using thorough monitoring of brand impersonation, stolen credentials, data exposure, and dark web threats throughout the web, this service helps you understand your cyber exposure and enhance defences before an attack occurs.
A host of cutting-edge features and advantages are provided by Cyber Exposure Insights to help with the issues. These consist of:
- Surveillance of the deep, dark, and surface web to locate at-risk credentials and find any security threats before thieves do
- Locating cases of brand emulation and keeping an eye on social media for indications of impending attacks
