Critical Vulnerabilities Discovered in Automated Tank Gauge Systems
Bitsight TRACE explores several critical vulnerabilities discovered in ATG systems and their inherent risk when exposed to the Internet.
In the security ratings market, some offerings claim that a staggering percentage of the data they leverage is proprietary, and downplay the value of externally sourced data. While these companies may state that (close to) 100% of their data collection on IP maps, DNS records, event data and more is proprietary, there are several reasons why this is problematic.

In 2014, Bitsight acquired AnubisNetworks, a real-time data threat provider based in Portugal. The integration of AnubisNetworks extends Bitsight’s position as the leading provider of cybersecurity ratings for organizations around the world because it fuels Bitsight Security Ratings’ compromised systems risk vectors and gives Bitsight unparalleled visibility into global threat activity. Anubis’ powerful analytics technology was essential in adding to the scope of Bitsight’s solution that provides daily, continuous security ratings on over 110,000 organizations worldwide.

According to the Trends in Security Framework Adoption Survey earlier this year by Tenable Network Security, nearly a third of the organizations they surveyed leverage the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with many respondents viewing it as an industry best practice.

It’s hard to believe, but Bitsight is celebrating our 10 year anniversary this week! I co-founded Bitsight in 2011 with my friend and grad school classmate, Nagarjuna Venna. When I think back at our original idea of creating a global cybersecurity ratings system, I’m surprised that our original thesis and vision still holds true today. It’s been an incredible journey filled with twists and turns, and I wanted to share some thoughts about where we’ve been and where we’re headed in the next decade.
