Managed WebApp Exposure Monitoring
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The Managed WebApp Exposure Monitoring Service is a specialised cyber security solution tailored to safeguard publicly exposed web entities, including websites, web applications, mobile applications, and APIs. By leveraging cutting edge technology and in house expertise, this service comprehensively monitors, detects, and responds to potential threats and vulnerabilities, significantly reducing the attack surface and enhancing the overall security posture of client assets.
WHY IS THIS SERVICE IMPORTANT?
Companies manage a broad array of publicly accessible web assets and face a daunting challenge in securing these applications from both targeted and indiscriminate cyber threats. The diverse nature of web applications contributes to a substantial attack surface, which is vulnerable to threat actors that exploit the complexity and dynamic nature of these applications. Advanced knowledge of web attacks, development practices, and effective detection and response mechanisms are critical. The WebApp Exposure Monitoring Service provides the expertise required to navigate the complexities of web application security. It not only streamlines the detection and response process but also addresses the challenges head-on by facilitating a collaborative approach between security teams and developers. This ensures that protective measures are both relevant and effective, safeguarding critical digital assets against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats and providing essential capabilities needed to protect critical web assets in an increasingly hostile cyber environment.
