Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced the Bitdefender Attack Surface Assessment, a complimentary evaluation that helps organizations identify and reduce hidden internal cyber risk caused by unnecessary user access to applications, tools, and operating system utilities commonly exploited in modern attacks. The assessment gives organizations a clear, data-driven view of their internal attack surface and provides actionable guidance to help prioritize and remediate exposure.
Businesses face growing challenges defending against Living-Off-the-Land (LOTL), fileless, and other non-malware attack techniques, which leverage legitimate operating system tools and trusted applications to breach systems and evade detection while blending into normal activity.
Analysis of more than 700,000 real-world security incidents found that legitimate tools and LOTL techniques are involved in more than 84% of major attacks. Cybercriminals increasingly exploit widely available utilities such as PowerShell, WMIC, and others to gain access, escalate privileges and move laterally within environments undetected. As a result, organizations are being forced to shift toward a prevention-first security posture to proactively close attack paths before they can be exploited.
The Bitdefender Attack Surface Assessment addresses this critical security gap through a guided engagement that helps organizations uncover this largely invisible internal exposure, assess its impact on overall risk and identify practical steps for remediation. Organizations enroll and immediately begin assessing and monitoring their environment with no disruption to employees or daily operations.
The program is powered by Bitdefender GravityZone PHASR (Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction), a first-to-market endpoint security innovation that combines dynamic, behavior-based security hardening with real-time threat intelligence. It helps identify excessive user access and restrict or block unnecessary applications and tools without impacting business operations.
Key Benefits of the Attack Surface Assessment include:
- Quantify internal risk at the user level – Gain precise visibility into attack surface exposure down to each user, including access to applications, tools and utilities, mapped against their baseline behavior and real-time threat intelligence.
- Identify shadow IT and unauthorized tools – Uncover shadow IT and unauthorized tools, including unusual network activity, access to non-approved binaries, and unrecognized applications attempting to access company resources.
- Reduce the attack surface using actionable insights – Receive actionable recommendations to focus mitigation and begin hardening the internal attack surface, with the option to apply controls manually or automatically with Bitdefender guidance. Organizations can reduce their attack surface by up to 95%, significantly lowering exposure to modern attack techniques.
Availability
The Bitdefender Attack Surface Assessment is a complimentary, 45-day turnkey program that requires minimal effort and is available now for organizations with 250 or more employees. To learn more or enroll, visit here.
