Horizon3.ai, a global leader in autonomous security solutions, today unveiled NodeZero Tripwires, an addition to its product suite that integrates attack detection directly into the penetration testing process. This first-of-its-kind solution combines deception and detection technologies within NodeZero autonomous pentests to identify unauthorized access and malicious activities in real time. By providing a precision-placed early warning system on exploitable attack paths during a pentest, NodeZero Tripwires significantly enhances organizational security posture and effectively disrupts potential attackers.
Introducing a New Era in Cybersecurity
In a world where network breaches, ransom demands, and data exfiltration are becoming increasingly common, traditional security measures are proving inadequate against today’s attackers. Existing cyber deception tools often rely on vast rule libraries and scripts, randomly scatter decoys like honeytokens across the network, and frequently produce false positives that burden security teams with unnecessary alerts.
NodeZero Tripwires represents a radical departure from these outdated methods by autonomously deploying the solution as part of the penetration testing process. During a pentest, NodeZero strategically places decoys—such as fake files and credentials—based on the exploitable attack paths it discovers. If a malicious actor interacts with a tripwire, an immediate alert is sent from NodeZero to security teams, enabling rapid response and containment of the threat.
This approach is akin to identifying areas in your home that are likely paths an intruder would take, then placing motion detectors in those deemed high-risk. This ensures that if a real intruder attempts a break-in, you’ll be immediately notified.
Addressing Critical Gaps in Vulnerability Management
A major challenge in vulnerability management is protecting assets when immediate patching or vulnerability remediation isn’t possible. Studies indicate that the average Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) of critical vulnerabilities is approximately 58 days, leaving organizations vulnerable for extended periods. During these exposed periods, NodeZero Tripwires acts as an essential safeguard, providing early warnings for assets with a high probability of being exploited.
Once NodeZero identifies an exploitable attack path, the countdown begins for the customer to remediate the discovered issues and confirm they are no longer exploitable. During this remediation period, which may last weeks or longer, NodeZero Tripwires can be deployed to offer additional indicators and early warnings when an attacker uncovers a vulnerability and attempts to exploit it. This capability is essential in light of current trends in vulnerability management and remediation.
Revolutionizing Cyber Defense for Today’s Challenges
As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, security teams need to detect and respond to threats with greater speed and precision. NodeZero Tripwires offers reliable insights and alerts so security teams can quickly investigate and contain an attack. With seamless integration into existing SIEMs and other security tools, NodeZero Tripwires allows organizations to effortlessly incorporate this intelligence into their incident response workflows.
