What’s in your network? Most people have a pretty good sense of the home network inventory, such as laptops, iPhones, smart speakers, cameras and doorbells. However, most businesses can’t answer this question. As companies grow, it gets more and more difficult to keep track of everything that connects into their network. And that presents a huge opportunity for bad actors.

On your podcast, Huxley can uncover why there are concrete ramifications for lack of knowledge. The more companies don’t know about their network, the more they are susceptible to a potential attack. He can share how to identify what something is, based on very little information, without crashing the network. Specifically, doing so with a network-based approach, utilizing an unparalleled unauthenticated scanner, coupling that with security research, base fingerprinting, and integrations that focus on the quality of data.

When an adversary makes it onto the network, there are many cases where they try to shut things down. But ultimately, their goal is to get something out, typically data, or take over a function. When an attack occurs, it usually takes minutes to weeks, before an attacker is discovered. It can be due to a particular model of the asset that has a particular vulnerability that can be exploited or lateral movement. Companies need to understand how asset-centric investigations can contain lateral movement and protect valuable assets from cyber attack.

On your podcast, your audience will develop a deeper understanding of asset-centric investigations for incident response. Specifically, why it’s very important for companies to be able to look for similar assets or look for assets that show the same attributes and make the connections between these assets. As a result, you can predict a possible blast radius for an attack and learn from previous incident reports.
