Where are we EXPOSED?
3 Keys to Revealing Unknown Vulnerabilities
Because your attack surface is always changing, you need a real-time dashboard that constantly refreshes to get a clear line on where risk is located. Here are three keys to revealing the unknown vulnerabilities in your attack surface:
Check all devices
Trust but verify
Map your exposure
Check all devices and services not typically handled by IT/SecOps teams
BYOD (bring your own device)
BYOC (bring your own cloud)
Every other asset connected to the internet
Click for a checklist of vulnerable items.
Ask all providers (e.g., cloud services) for proof of their security offering. Verify these findings. If you identify gaps, add security measures to address them.
Visualize the data to make it intuitive. To mitigate risk, you need to see where the business is exposed.
Prioritize vulnerabilities in danger of exploitation
According to Gartner, you should “patch the vulnerabilities that are being exploited in the wild as your No. 1 priority.”
What should we PRIORITIZE?
Question 2 of 4
Use Predictive Prioritization to focus on vulnerabilities that matter.

Let data do the driving
Run active triage
Itemize critical assets
Create a security routine
Click the checkboxes to learn how to prioritize which threats are worth addressing.
Start with actively exploited vulnerabilities because they represent real risk. A predictive, machine-learning model can help determine which are likely to be exploited next.
Quantify your analysis of vulnerabilities – and where attackers have the lead – so you know where to respond first.
Maintain a fluid response priority list to allow for the inclusion and proper ranking of emerging threats.
Keep an updated inventory of critical assets, so you know precisely what is at risk and where attackers are most likely to take aim.
Replace start-stop models and discrete cycles with continuous security assessments and response-prioritization models. Align processes accordingly.
What to measure:
The only way to tell if your security efforts and investments are paying off is by having standard metrics to benchmark your progress over time. The metrics you choose should be viewable by business unit, geography and asset type.

Here are the 4 most important questions in cybersecurity:
Operational technology Smart environmental control systems Breakroom and lobby televisions Key fobs Printers Pro tip: Be sure to account for nuances in your organization’s unique environment (e.g., in-store kiosks, smart refrigerators, digital signage, aquarium control systems)
Establishing an accurate picture of your cyber risk is an essential first step. But, not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Next, let’s look at how to prioritize them.
Here’s a checklist to help with vulnerability prioritization:
So, now that you have the visibility and focus to guide your team, how can you show the business you’re actively diminishing cyber risk? Let’s take a look.
Now that you can measure the performance of your own security efforts, it’s time to see how you rank in your industry.
Not all data is created equal. What you need to ensure accurate, reliable benchmarking is data that is:
Imagine finally having the data-powered insights to help drive strategic decision-making with the executive team. Imagine walking into that board meeting with a Cyber Exposure score – and framing the cybersecurity discussion around a system of record that aligns cyber risk to business risk. It’s time to shift the conversation away from technical terms that just cause more confusion.
