Opus Security’s Post

If you aren't enriching your vulnerability findings, you're not enabling teams to pinpoint the root cause. Without root-cause clarity, you're stuck in an endless loop of searching—across tools, code, and environments—just to address the same issues. 🚨 As James Berthoty highlights, Opus Security goes beyond alerts with advanced data enrichment and comprehensive root-cause analysis, equipping teams with the actionable insights they need to drive remediation progress.

Do you ever wonder what the U.S. government does behind the scenes to synchronize vulnerability management operations? Our president, Chris Hughes, discussed just that alongside Bob Lord (CISA), Lindsey C. (CISA), and Patrick Garrity (VulnCheck) on a recent panel at CVE Program/FIRST VulnCon. Led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's Associate Director of Vulnerability Management, Sandy Radesky, the panel shared the effort it takes to coordinate with partners and discussed major efforts, like secure by design, coordinated vulnerability disclosure, KEV, open-source security, and newly released vulnerability analysis.

Black Hat is nearly upon us! If unifying and prioritizing vulnerability data from disparate sources is top of mind for you, then make it a priority to stop by the Nucleus Security booth (2714) to learn how we’re helping the world’s largest commercial and government enterprises transform their programs to reduce risk of exploitation and prevent breaches by automating risk based vulnerability management at scale.

This is good - explains it nicely and gives a term to lump attack surface concerns under: Exposure Management (doesn't mean it isn't secured, but it is exposed and susceptible to zero days, misconfigurations during change/patch, brute-force attacks, etc..). It may include domain sprawl too (not just exposed systems via IP addresses), where your name/reputation/domain/subdomain(s) is hosted or associated with someone else's servers, processing, and devices.

Accuracy and false positives are the biggest nemesis of most vulnerability management solutions. 4 out of 5 infosecurity specialists are skeptical about the accuracy of their scans when submitting their reports to the CISO and IT teams.

Yikes, the Easter weekend ushered in a whoppingly huge supply-chain vulnerability (backdoor) bundled into probably one of the most-used remote access utilities (SSH) and the world dodged a missile like Neo from the Matrix! ...and it was discovered completely by accident!! 😲 🤯 As the dust settles, we've had time to report back: The xz utils was classed as an absolutely worst-case and critical CVSS score of 10 (out of a maximum 10!!) ☠☠ BlckRhino performed our own internal response over the long weekend and and pleased to confirm we were not affected! We have been working with many clients in confirming themselves and their vendors as part of their supply chain are not affected either. Our own Colin van Niekerk also contributed to Ferhat Dikbiyik, Ph.D., CTIA awesome article over at Black Kite who wrote up this excellent piece focusing on the Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) aspects.
