Identifying and addressing cyber exposures and vulnerabilities has become a major challenge for enterprises today. According to a recent survey, the majority of organizations that suffered a data breach in the past two years say it was caused by a known vulnerability that had not been patched. The survey also found that 37 percent of organizations say they don’t even scan for vulnerabilities.

To address this challenge, organizations need a solution that leverages backup data to discover cyber exposures and vulnerabilities within their IT production environment and assess the risk posture of their IT environment. Cyber exposures often lead to cyberattacks — such as ransomware attacks or data breaches — and discovering these cyber exposures is the first step in defending against online criminals.

The new Cohesity CyberScan application makes it easy to scan for cyber exposures. Available now on the Cohesity MarketPlace, the application works by scanning backup copies on Cohesity (instead of the live production copy) to identify any cyber exposures across an organization’s production IT environment. This includes the operating system, computer, network devices, and configurations. The application gives a global view of all vulnerabilities through an easy-to-read security dashboard along with actionable recommendations on how to address exposures before hackers exploit them.

Cohesity CyberScan:

• Addresses IT need for an environment that runs 24-7.
• Predictable recovery by ensuring backup copy is recoverable and does not re-infect known vulnerabilities while recovery.
• Identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations without putting any additional burden on their mission-critical operations.
