The payment card industry (PCI) has long been a Holy Grail target for bad actors for obvious reasons. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express account for the bulk of the consumer financial activity in the United States. Breaching them would be an unimaginable windfall for hackers--and, undoubtedly, an unmitigated disaster for the world’s economy.
The process of removing an association with a CIDR range can be time consuming and frustrating; in light of this, Bitsight has created a program to facilitate and simplify the process.
Taking back control of your network in light of hackers’ growing sophistication can be time-consuming. Even well-established organizations with money to spend on solid cybersecurity programs are still falling victim to some of the new sneaky breach attempts, as seen with this year's ransomware attacks.
But as your digital infrastructure expands, understanding where cyber risk lies hidden can be challenging. In this increasingly diverse environment, your security team ends up buried in a sea of data and alerts — and may end up missing something important. They are also hopping between multiple tools and lack a complete picture of your company’s security posture.
Rather than play whack-a-mole with threats, here are three reasons you should focus on attack surface scanning to mitigate risk.

The global cybersecurity market is currently worth $173 billion and expected to grow to $270 billion by 2026. Yet as organizations invest more in security technology, a new global survey by IBM Security and the Ponemon Institute suggests that security response efforts are “hindered by the use of too many security tools, as well as a lack of specific playbooks for common attack types.” Of those surveyed, 74% of respondents report that their response plans are ad-hoc, applied inconsistently, or that they have no plans at all.
In today’s business environment, companies are often focused on how to best use technology to acquire new customers and improve the customer experience, as these IT applications help generate revenue for the organizations. But every CISO knows the more IT infrastructure connected to a system, the larger the organization’s attack surface is—which translates to more cyber risk.
About 25 years ago, the evolution of the overall digital ecosystem necessitated the creation of the first CISO role. Now, 61% of companies have a CISO.
When it comes to reporting to the board, there are plenty of tools at the CISO’s disposal. Looking at the right metrics and putting them in the right context can help turn your next board meeting into a source of confidence, not stress. Here are some helpful tips to create successful frameworks for your board reports.
A recent report from Forrester called CISOs’ Tactics to Win Every Budget Battle suggests that companies turn towards “growing revenue, customer retention, and operating in specific verticals and regions” to gain security budget.
Security professionals have an ambitious goal to prevent the majority of cyber attacks. Bitsight's Control Insights lets you consistently and reliably measure the effectiveness of security controls.
Banks and other financial institutions have always been burdened with a greater need for security than other industries. In the past, that meant hiring 24/7 guards and locking cash away in reinforced bank vaults. Today, it means having best-in-class cybersecurity teams and state-of-the-art detection and response technology.However, when it comes to preventing data breaches, having the best cybersecurity experts and the fanciest tech isn’t always enough. Here’s how the FDIC puts it in their Framework for Cybersecurity:
