Viavi Solutions has unveiled Observer Sentry, Software-as-a-Service-based Threat Exposure Management providing SecOps, DevOps and cloud architects much-needed threat visibility into ever-changing AWS environments.
Observer Sentry identifies security exposures, analyzes the business impact, and helps prioritize remediation activities by discovering and combining internal attack paths with focused external attack surface scanning. Attack paths are the dangerous combination of exposure, exploitable network vulnerabilities and risky configurations that provide the paths of least resistance to high-value resources within the cloud environment.
Observer Sentry identifies security exposures, analyzes the business impact and helps prioritize remediation activities by discovering and combining internal attack paths with focused external attack surface scanning.
Observer Sentry also creates a detailed inventory of an enterprise’s cloud assets and then performs an analysis to determine their attack surface, exposure and risk.
This analysis can also be applied collectively to logical groupings of assets that make up specific applications or workloads. These groupings can be tracked in risk scorecards and visualized in attack surface maps.
“Our work with customers revealed a critical need for threat exposure management to preemptively detect and prevent threats. Observer Sentry is a formidable addition to our portfolio, enabling SecOps, DevOps and cloud architects to see their AWS environments from potential attackers’ perspectives,” said Chris Labac, Vice President and General Manager, Network Performance and Threat Solutions, VIAVI.
