Ivanti’s Attack Surface Management report offers more expert advice on how to turn actionable data into a mature and effective attack surface management strategy.

Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala, Ivanti CPO, discusses the need for organizations to consolidate and harmonize data from multiple sources to gain a comprehensive view of their attack surface.

This video offers actionable advice on how to structure, analyze and apply your data to use it to inform your attack surface management strategy and quickly and effectively detect and remediate threats.

On average, every organization will have 60 to 70 different sources of data to manage at all times. To get a comprehensive understanding of all the data being collected by your assets, the following steps are required:

Dr. Srinivas Mukkamala summarizes these steps as the “DEER” principle (Determine, enumerate exposures and remediate).

  1. You should be able to collect and ingest all data across different sources.
  2. You need to be able to normalize and label the data. Structured data will be machine-readable, easy to process, and easy to normalize.
  3. You should be able to validate the date and eliminate false positives and negatives.
  4. You should have the ability to understand your data based on a potential attacker's intent.
  5. You should be able to use the data to prioritize different levels of threat and your approach to threat management.
  6. Once you have a clear prioritization, you need to build up a robust remediation strategy.
