Cybersecurity company Cybereason, whose pending acquisition by LevelBlue was announced last month, has launched a new Vulnerability Management product, a powerful capability seamlessly integrated into the Cybereason Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP). This new solution is designed to help organizations proactively reduce their attack surface and strengthen their security posture by providing continuous, automated assessment of software vulnerabilities. The Cybereason Vulnerability Management transforms your endpoint security from purely reactive threat detection to proactive risk reduction. By continuously assessing applications on your endpoints, it identifies known software weaknesses and delivers precise, actionable recommendations for patching. This means you gain critical foresight, understanding your weaknesses and eliminating common entry points before attackers can exploit them.
We have an integrated workflow that is built directly into our existing Endpoint Protection Platform,” said Eddie Powers, Sales Engineer at Cybereason. “The tool accurately identifies applications with common vulnerabilities and exposures, and shifts the focus from reacting to attacks. We combine our real time threat detection with continuous vulnerability assessment.”
The Cybereason Vulnerability Management product extends an organization’s endpoint protection from purely reactive threat detection to proactive risk reduction. It continuously assesses applications on endpoints, identifies known software vulnerabilities (CVEs), and delivers precise, actionable recommendations for patching. This empowers Information Security, IT Operations, and Compliance teams to know their weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
The new product addresses the challenge of tool sprawl by integrating vulnerability management directly into the Cybereason EPP. Unlike standalone vulnerability scanners that add complexity and overhead, this solution leverages the same lightweight agent and management console, providing a unified view of both active threats and potential weaknesses in a single pane of glass.
The Cybereason Vulnerability Management product offers proactive risk reduction, shifting the security focus from solely reacting to attacks to identifying and mitigating common entry points that attackers exploit. Its integrated workflow eliminates the need for separate tools by consolidating vulnerability data within the Cybereason Defense Platform and simplifying the security operations. Unlike standalone vulnerability scanners, it’s built directly into your Cybereason EPP, leveraging the same lightweight agent and console. This eliminates tool sprawl and simplifies operations. Its Actionable Intelligence provides clear, prioritized patch recommendations, telling teams exactly what software to update and to which version, saving valuable time and effort. Automated assessments and reporting streamline vulnerability management, reducing manual overhead. It leverages a robust, continuously updated vulnerability intelligence database for comprehensive and current insights.
In addition, its comprehensive visibility combines real-time threat detection with continuous vulnerability assessment for a holistic understanding of an organization’s endpoint risk posture.
The product works by having the Cybereason agent continuously collect metadata on installed applications. This data is then cross-referenced against a robust, continuously updated vulnerability intelligence database. When a match is found, the system flags the vulnerability and provides detailed, prioritized guidance within the Cybereason console.
“With intuitive views and powerful export options, and an easy way to download patches, this platform makes it easy to identify, prioritize and respond to vulnerabilities quickly,” Powers concluded.
The Cybereason Vulnerability Management product is available now.
