CYBERPION EXPOSES DANGERS OF CYBERATTACKS AGAINST FORTUNE 500 ESTABISHMENTS

Cybersecurity firm, Cyberpion, has disclosed a report that enlists cybersecurity dangers and susceptibility to threats as observed against 471 of the Fortune 500 companies.

This follows from an operational guide by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). According to them, over 148,000 loopholes were spotted as access points for potential cyber breaches with nearly 500 for each organization. The guide sets out guideline for “improving asset visibility and vulnerability detection on federal networks”.

“Our findings show that Fortune 500 organizations should follow CISA's lead…They are recognizing the importance of comprehensive attack surface visibility and risk exposure. With the adoption of new technologies, distributed employees and customers, and ever-growing engagement of third-party partners, exposed assets are often unknown to and unmanaged by IT and security teams. As CISA makes clear, this presents an unacceptable level of risk,” says Cyberpion co-founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nethanel Gelernter.

Cyberpion also report that internal assets have a ninety-eight percent critical rate with sixty-two percent in connections, ninety-five percent for expired certificate and eighty-five percent of leaked, sensitive data. They have advised that consistent monitoring of loopholes. A webinar is said to be in place to give further insight.

“Only with a comprehensive, up-to-date, prioritized, and actionable inventory of assets and services and their potential vulnerabilities, can security teams have a clear idea of the actions required to resolve them before they can be exploited,” parts of their statement read.
