Enterprise Assets and Infrastructure

With comprehensive asset discovery and monitoring, Bitsight reveals hidden assets, connections, and exposures across your infrastructure.

Bitsight deploys one of the largest discovery engines in the world to continuously identify assets, relationships, and exposure that impact risk in your organization.

We proactively query specific data repositories and scan internet-connected assets to deepen our understanding of risk posture.

Bitsight GIA utilizes a graph data structure to represent massive datasets, enabling us to rapidly identify relationships between disparate data types.

We listen for signals that provide additional context about asset ownership, relationships among entities, and risk posture.

Groma-explorer-graphic

Bitsight Groma sits at the center of our Active Data Collection capability. The proprietary scanner continuously monitors the entire internet to provide a near real-time view of connected assets and entities. Operating our own scanning technology – and not relying solely on third-party providers – creates the ability to:


  • Innovate more rapidly through greater control over the scanning process
  • Accelerate mean-time-to-detection for new vulnerabilities and asset updates
  • Respond faster to changes in customer environments

The benefits manifest into all of the Bitsight’s products and services from Continuous Vendor Monitoring and External Attack Surface Management to Cybersecurity Ratings.

A report from Greynoise.io shows the magnitude of internet scanning that Bitsight deploys to identify changes in internet connected devices.  “Bitsight dedicates a crazy amount of infrastructure to poke at internet nodes.”

Unique IP Internet Scanning
GROMA GIA

At the center of Bitsight asset and entity attribution is our proprietary internet mapping service, Bitsight Graph of Internet Assets (GIA). Bitsight GIA utilizes a graph data structure to represent massive datasets, enabling us to rapidly identify relationships between disparate data source types for assets, entities, networks, and threats. 

Bitsight GIA helps the team:

  • Create and refresh network maps faster
  • Improve confidence in network maps 
  • Improve accuracy of mapped objects

The results power all of Bitsights products and services from Continuous Vendor Monitoring and External Attack Surface Management to Cybersecurity Ratings. 

Bitsight passive data collection leverages a variety of tools and techniques

Malware detection

Using sinkholes, malware emulators, honeypots, and similar techniques to discover ransomware precursors, worms, botnets, greyware, adware, malware distribution, malicious internet scanning, and vulnerability exploits.

Version control

Assessing the version levels of endpoint browsers, operating systems, and desktop software.

IP ownership

Listening to network advertisements, such as those performed by the BGP routing protocol, to determine IP address ownership.

Host and subdomains

Analyzing WHOIS records, certificate transparency logs, DNS queries from endpoints, and related information to determine the affiliations of hostnames and subdomains.

Changes in behavior

Monitoring the behavior of endpoint devices, such as movements between locations, to develop baselines of normal workforce computing behavior.

Lifecycle management

Observing the speed and effectiveness of organizations’ hardware 
and software lifecycle management activities.
