Bitsight excels at using externally available data to paint a detailed picture of organizations’ digital footprint, including assets, organizational hierarchy, third-party relationships, and risk posture. But as more IT resources shift to cloud service providers, gaining complete and precise visibility into your external attack surface becomes increasingly complex.
Cloud resources are often more ephemeral than on-premises IT assets, and as cloud-hosted assets are added or removed, IP addresses assigned to one organization may be assigned to other organizations dynamically. Meanwhile, factors like the geographic distribution of cloud resources, hybrid cloud deployment models, complex virtual private cloud network configurations, and departmental-level management of specific cloud resources add further complexity. But a complete visualization of the external attack surface is only possible through precise mapping and attribution of cloud assets.
In response to these challenges, we introduced a capability called Cloud Infrastructure Sync last year. Initially focused on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloud Infrastructure Sync allows our customers to grant us permission to non-intrusively synchronize their public IP addresses from their cloud provider on a continual basis.
The response to this capability has been extremely positive, and we’re pleased to highlight two significant enhancements to Cloud Infrastructure Sync that are now available:
- Multi-Cloud Support: Cloud Infrastructure Sync is now available for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- User Interface Enhancements: We’ve streamlined the setup process with a redesigned user interface and intuitive setup wizards
Here’s an overview of how you can use this powerful capability to enhance your cloud visibility and enrich the data set used to calculate your Bitsight rating.
