Hackuity Launches Smart Exposure Explorer: The Unified Vulnerability Encyclopaedia for Cybersecurity Specialists
Hackuity, the risk-based vulnerability management provider, today announced its newest platform feature, Smart Exposure Explorer (SmartEx2), to help organisations evaluate the real threats associated with common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs).
SmartEx2 will serve as a unified encyclopaedia for open-source and non-public vulnerability information, providing a more up-to-date and in-depth analysis of CVEs to Hackuity’s customers and partners. SmartEx2 will supplement Hackuity’s existing vulnerability management cockpit and proprietary True Risk Score technology.
“SmartEx2 is both an evolution of the Hackuity Exposure Management platform and a further demonstration of our belief that aggregation does not mean simply pulling all data into one place, it’s about enriching the data to provide more valuable insight to organisations than it would in silo,” said Sylvain Cortes, VP of Strategy, Hackuity. “The days of one-shot-wonder tools are over. Cybersecurity teams need integrated, unified platforms and protection in 2023, and Smart Exposure Explorer provides precisely this.”
In 2022, multipurpose malware, including banking trojans and botnets capable of exploiting known CVEs, was the most frequently reported category of cyberattack. This type of malware represented 44 percent of attacks in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and 32 percent worldwide. Infostealers ranked just behind, recording the highest percentage in the APAC region at 30 percent.
SmartEx2 will provide even greater granularity regarding publicly and non-publicly disclosed vulnerabilities to give organisations the insights that matter most, including:
- Real Exploitability, clearly indicating whether the CVE is exploitable by attackers.
- Exploit Maturity, based on the number of exploits available to APTs or ransomware gangs.
- Threat Intensity, derived from public social networks, the dark web, and the deep web to determine if attackers are using the CVE at that very moment.
Hackuity’s Exposure Management (EM) users will now have full access to SmartEx2, enabling security teams to evaluate real threats posed to their attack surfaces by each of the known 200,000 CVEs and innumerable non-CVE vulnerabilities. Hackuity’s SmartEx2 collects extensive information from vulnerability open-source intelligence providers as well as via Hackuity bots that monitor the dark web and deep web for advanced vulnerability intelligence.
