The alliance brings WhiteHat Security founder back to the company through a new endeavour
WhiteHat Security, a wholly-owned, independent subsidiary of NTT Ltd. announced the rollout of Attack Surface Management powered by Bit Discovery, an innovative suite of features that give enterprises a more streamlined way to discover, manage and secure their comprehensive attack surface.
Available immediately, WhiteHat Security’s Attack Surface Management taps into Bit Discovery’s expansive database comprised of more than five billion Internet-connected assets and hundreds of third-party resources to automatically generate a comprehensive inventory of the exposed assets that make up an organization’s attack surface — websites, VPNs, DNS servers, IoT devices, phishing sites and more. By leveraging a purpose-built API integration, security teams have the ability to review their inventory in an intuitive, searchable dashboard and bring specific assets under WhiteHat’s industry-leading application security service in a few clicks.
‘Even before the pandemic accelerated enterprise business’ adoption of applications and APIs, security teams have struggled to accurately account for their organisation’s entire attack surface of exposed assets’, said Craig Hinkley, chief executive officer at WhiteHat Security. ‘Attack Surface Management Powered by Bit Discovery not only bolsters WhiteHat’s platform with innovative tools that provide a tremendous amount of value for our clients, but it also advances our vision to build security into each step of the entire software development lifecycle.’
