Watch How Balbix’s Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Platform Works

Why Choose Balbix?

Security teams are pulled in many directions– vulnerability management, incidence response, deployment and tuning of security tools, application security, dashboarding and reporting, etc.

Do you know if you are working on the right projects?
Where are the riskiest areas of your attack surface?
Can you quantify the progress you are making?

Balbix enables you to address these challenges and make the right decisions in order to transform your cybersecurity posture and reduce breach risk.

To accurately quantify breach risk, Balbix continuously analyzes up to several hundred billion time-varying signals from your network.

You can understand your real-time risk with Balbix’s drill-down risk heatmaps and natural-language search.

Balbix generates prioritized tickets with relevant context assigned to the right owners for strategic and tactical mitigating actions. Notifications, leaderboards and incentives can be set up for a gamified approach to drive cyber-risk reduction.

Sensors, connectors, and collectors deployed across your network continuously discover and monitor your devices, apps, and users across 100+ attack vectors.

The Balbix Brain uses specialized AI to predict likely breach scenarios and prescribes a prioritized set of necessary actions to improve cybersecurity posture.

Integrations with ticketing and orchestration systems enable you to operationalize the transformation and maintenance of your cybersecurity posture.

The Balbix platform offers real-time and continuous monitoring and analysis of the entire enterprise attack surface.

Automatic discovery and inventory of assets in real-time.
Continuous monitoring of all assets for risk across 100+ attack vectors.
You do not need to schedule any vulnerability scans, or perform validation scans.
Balbix automatically incorporates information about vulnerabilities, threats, degree of exposure and your mitigations to highlight security posture issues that need to be fixed.

Automatic Inventory

balbix

Automatic Inventory

Balbix automatically discovers, analyzes and categorizes your inventory. This includes all devices, apps and services managed and unmanaged, infrastructure, on-prem and cloud, fixed and mobile, IoTs, ICS, etc. The inventory is available via real-time dashboards and search.

Balbix’s inventory capabilities include:

- Categorization of assets into core or perimeter assets.
- The relationship between assets and users (including administrators).
- Details for each asset, e.g. software and hardware version, open ports, and usage.
- Estimated breach impact for each asset.

Prioritization

Prioritization

Balbix’s risk-based prioritization of security posture issues factors in 4 things:

Vulnerability severity.
Threat level– are attackers exploiting this vulnerability in the wild.
Exposure, based on usage or configuration.
The business impact if this asset is compromised.

With this framework, you can filter out issues that need immediate attention, vs those which can wait a few days, and those which are just noise.

Customizable

bilbix

Customizable

Balbix lets you to define risk areas appropriate for your business using natural language search, and then maps the automatic calculation and tracking of these metrics to your actual on-network cybersecurity posture.

You can type “risk to intellectual property” in the Balbix search box, and define this as a risk item for Balbix to track and report on.
Balbix automatically maps the risk item “intellectual property” to the actual on-network assets and their attributes and that drive this risk.
The system continuously observes, analyzes and reports on the relevant parts of your cybersecurity posture.

Prioritization

Integrations

Balbix integrates into your enterprise tools, such as ticketing and security orchestration systems.

You can set up business risk areas that you care about and Balbix can then automatically map vulnerabilities in these areas to the appropriate owners.
Based on desired SLAs for different priority levels, tickets can be automatically created, assigned to the relevant owners, and tracked.
As your team takes mitigating actions, Balbix automatically discovers and validates each fix.
APIs are available for 3rd party tools to query Balbix for context about assets and risk.

Inside-Out & Outside-In

Unlike other products, Balbix continuously observes the extended enterprise network both inside-out and outside-in to discover your attack surface. Real-time data from multiple internal and external sources is ingested and then analyzed to produce a complete picture of cyber-risk. Data sources include:

Balbix host, traffic and network sensors.
Enterprise log sources (e.g DHCP, CMDB, AD, and enterprise data lakes).
Cloud connectors and collectors for provider APIs and logs.
Third party threat feeds.

Risk Heatmaps

Bilbix

Risk Heatmaps

Balbix’s real-time risk heat maps show you how risk is distributed in the enterprise.

Hover over the bubbles to get an idea of the risk distribution.
You can drill into a bubble to see why it is red, or of a certain size.
Gain and understanding of how the biggest risk areas can be mitigated.
Compare how different stakeholders are managing cyber-risk.

As you fix vulnerabilities and other security posture issues, you will see this bubbles break up into smaller ones, or change color. What bubbles would you like to pop today?

Google "like" Search

balbix

Google “like” Search

With Balbix, you can get answers to questions about your inventory, security posture or breach risk using natural language search.

Query your inventory using IT vocabulary, e.g., “windows servers in london”, “security cameras”.
Queries can combine security and IT terms: “unpatched switches in nyc”, “password reuse”, “phishing”.
Search by CVE number, e.g., “CVE-2017-0144”, or its common name “wannacry”.
Also use higher level queries like “where will attacks start”, “what will they go after”, “assets with intellectual property”, and “risk to customer data”.

Prescriptive Plan

Cyber-Risk Reporting for Your Board of Directors

How should you quantify cybersecurity posture for your board of directors and C-suite colleagues? Boards and senior executives have three main questions about cybersecurity and breach risk:

Where is the organization on the cyber-risk spectrum?
Where should the organization be?
How can the organization get to where it should be?

Unfortunately, due to the massive size and complexity of the enterprise attack surface and the practically unlimited permutations and combinations by which the adversary can carry out a cyberattack, you know how difficult it is to analyze your overall cybersecurity posture and calculate your organization’s breach risk. Furthermore, because of this vague understanding of security posture, you and your colleagues struggle to agree on where in the spectrum your organization ought to be, i.e., to agree on when cybersecurity is “done” for your organization.

How exactly should you quantify cybersecurity posture for your board of directors and C-suite colleagues? Read this solution brief to learn more.
