The invasion of Ukraine puts the cybersecurity community on high alert; ExtraHop uses AI-powered network intelligence to assess security controls and detect attack activity. ExtraHop encourages organizations to adopt the 'Shields Up Guidance' and offers a free risk assessment.
ExtraHop, the leading provider of cloud-native network detection and response, announces that it will offer a free Shields Up evaluation to interested and eligible companies. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put the world on high alert for retaliatory cyberattacks. Government agencies around the world have issued cybersecurity guidelines to help them stay safe.
Check: Does the company implement security policies?
Risk assessment helps organizations adapt and effectively implement the policies of organizations such as CISA, ENISA, CERT-EU, ACSC and SingCERT. It does this through real-time insights into security vulnerabilities such as insecure protocols, vulnerable devices and cloud misconfigurations, as well as AI and behavior-based detection of attack patterns and lateral movement. With these insights, security teams can detect, investigate, and respond to malicious activity before it has a significant impact on organizations.
Legacy protocols are still widely used, even in sophisticated organizations. A recent ExtraHop survey found that 64% of organizations admit that half (or more) of their cybersecurity incidents stem from their own outdated IT security measures, while 68% still use SMBv1, the protocol used in major attacks like WannaCry and NotPetya was exploited. At the same time, attackers are actively evading detection by employing increasingly sophisticated attack tactics, including using encrypted protocols to obfuscate exploits of known but unpatched vulnerabilities, such as Log4Shell.
The Shields Up assessment enables companies to do the following
- Uncover all ports and protocols used and identify insecure protocols and weak encryption,
- Finding all internet-facing assets inside firewalls that accept external connections,
- Identification of all cloud and SaaS services sending and receiving traffic,
- Find instances of unpatched devices with known security vulnerabilities, including Spring4Shell and PrintNightmare. Interested companies are invited to register for the free risk assessment today.
