In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, effective vulnerability management is a cornerstone of maintaining a robust security posture. Yet despite investing significant resources into regular vulnerability assessments and mitigation technologies, organizations continue to face breaches that exploit vulnerabilities.
The Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) reveals that over half of reported breaches and ransomware attacks are linked to vulnerabilities, emphasizing the persistent challenge. Recent security incidents highlight the gravity of this issue.
The WebP (libwebp) zero-day vulnerability exploited Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, while the MOVEit Transfer vulnerability remains a problem for many organizations. The CISA advisory regarding the "Citrix Bleed" vulnerability, potentially targeted by LockBit 3.0 ransomware affiliates, adds to the growing list of concerns. This year alone, thousands of critical vulnerabilities (CVSS score 9+) have been identified, impacting numerous applications.
For IT teams, managing and patching this constant stream of vulnerabilities is a headache. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) often guides vulnerability management efforts, prioritizing patching based on severity scores. However, this approach has significant limitations. It frequently lacks critical business context, fails to assess an organization's specific exposure accurately, and struggles to align patching efforts with actual risks.
As a result, organizations may find themselves unable to address and mitigate risks effectively. It's also important to note that less than 2% of published vulnerabilities are actively exploited—a crucial fact that is frequently overlooked in traditional vulnerability management practices.
Morphisec’s innovative risk-based vulnerability prioritization capabilities empowers organizations with continuous, business context and risk-driven remediation recommendations, enabling effective prioritization of patching processes, while reducing exposure with patchless protection, powered by Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD).
Morphisec’s vulnerability management capabilities, a key component of our Adaptive Exposure Management (AEM) solution, offer unique features designed to streamline your security processes and provide actionable insights.
Let's explore how our approach transforms vulnerability management while contributing to overall exposure reduction.
While we provide industry-standard CVSS scores, Morphisec elevates your vulnerability assessment with critical additions:
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a data-driven effort for estimating the probability that a software vulnerability will be exploited in the wild. Developed by the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), EPSS incorporates exploitation tools availability and extensive threat intelligence among a host of other factors to reduce the number of critical CVEs dramatically.
EPSS is gaining traction among cybersecurity professionals and organizations worldwide. Notable adopters include:
By integrating EPSS, we alleviate the need for companies to separately incorporate threat intelligence into their vulnerability management process. This unique feature not only aligns with industry best practices but also streamlines your security operations, reducing costs and complexity.
Morphisec integrates the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a United States federal agency operating under the Department of Homeland Security. This authoritative source provides information on vulnerabilities actively exploited by malicious actors.
By incorporating CISA KEV data, Morphisec ensures you're always aware of the most pressing vulnerabilities, providing a crucial advantage in managing your overall exposure.
We integrate business context for the hosts into the prioritization process, ensuring that you focus on the assets that are most critical to your organization. This approach allows you to align your vulnerability management efforts with your business priorities, maximizing the impact of your security efforts.
Morphisec goes beyond merely identifying vulnerabilities—it provides actionable upgrade paths with clear, tangible value. When considering an upgrade, you'll receive:
This feature empowers you to quantify security improvements, justify upgrade decisions to stakeholders, and optimize your patching strategy for maximum impact with minimal disruption.
We've designed our UI with the end user in mind. Our intuitive interface offers:
We understand the complexity of vulnerability data and the need for quick, actionable insights. Our solution provides:
This flexibility ensures that you can approach vulnerability management in a way that aligns with your specific security strategy and organizational structure.
We don't just identify risks -- we provide actionable recommendations on what to deal with first. This ensures that your team can quickly understand what needs to be done and take decisive action to improve your security posture.
We understand that not all vulnerabilities can be patched or fixed immediately, and security teams need to make informed decisions about what fix. That's why we focus not only on prioritization and ease of analysis but also on the next step. With just two clicks, you can open a ticket or send an email containing all relevant data and entities involved, streamlining your workflow and enabling faster response times.
While our vulnerability management capabilities are powerful on their own, their true strength lies in their integration within Morphsiec’s comprehensive Adaptive Exposure Management solution, which offers:
Morphisec’s Adaptive Exposure Management solution is more than just a vulnerability scanning tool—it's a comprehensive platform that empowers your team to make data-driven security decisions. By combining advanced vulnerability management with other critical components like security misconfiguration analysis, security controls validation, and identification of high-risk software, we're setting a new standard in exposure management.
