Many companies that have an presence can benefit from using Mandiant ASM to identify and manage their internet facing assets, like web servers, email servers and DNS servers. This helps reduce the risk of cyberattacks targeting these assets.However smaller organizations with exposure might not always need the extensive attack surface monitoring provided by Mandiant ASM. For example a small company with one website may not require much monitoring, as a larger corporation.
Nessus is perfectly suitable for performing comprehensive vulnerability assessment scans being a vulnerability scanner. It is less appropriate for performing penetration testing since it is not a penetration testing tool, it does not have the ability and modules to exploit the vulnerabilities of the system.
Mandiant ASM combines sources of information such, as assets through the internet cloud resources and suppliers from third parties. This comprehensive approach provides organizations with an understanding of their external attack surface.
With scanning Mandiant ASM identifies threats and vulnerabilities present on the external attack surface and promptly notifies users. Whenever a new threat or vulnerability is detected an alert is generated to empower enterprises to take action in mitigating the risks.
Mandiant ASM assesses risks based on their likelihood of exploitation impact on organizations and severity. This prioritization enables organizations to focus their efforts, on addressing the risks effectively.
To enhance user experience it would be beneficial to make the interface more user friendly and easier to navigate. This can be achieved by simplifying the layout offering help when needed and utilizing terminology that's easily understandable.
Additionally incorporating reporting features that are customizable will empower users to generate reports tailored to their individual requirements.
In order to enhance the solutions efficiency optimizing the code and implementing data structures would prove valuable.
Nessus is best and easy to use application for Vulnerabilities finding and reporting, it has multiple platforms and wide scope covering almost all devices for security improvement so far, thus we are very likely to continue its services.
Tenable Nessus is a great product and provides a lot of value, but it is difficult to set up and use and the amount of data it generates can be overwhelming. It does help us prioritize based on the severity of the detection, however there are sometimes mitigating factors that we have implemented that Nessus does not account for, which causes lots of noise in the reports.
I haven't needed to contact support yet. But issues are easily solved with a quick internet search which means support and by extension, the larger community are involved and knowledgeable.
I decided to go with Mandiant Advantage Attack Surface Management because it offers a range of features performs excellently and is easy to use. What I really appreciate about Mandiant is their commitment, to innovation and their proven track record, in ensuring security.
Ease of deployment and use even for junior analysts, strong plugin support, and up-to-date CVE coverage, cost-effective licensing, especially for mid-size companies, and seamless integration with the SIEM tool. Overall, Nessus hit the right balance between functionality, performance, and total cost of ownership for our needs and usability.
Automation plays a role in saving time by streamlining operations related to attack surface management. These include automated asset discovery, vulnerability scanning and continuous monitoring of threat intelligence. As a result security teams can allocate their efforts towards projects such as security planning and incident response.
ASM provides a view of the external attack surface, for businesses encompassing internet facing assets, cloud resources and third party vendors. This enhances the understanding of assets enabling organizations to identify and prioritize risks effectively and make decisions on security investments
One notable advantage is cost savings. By eliminating the need to purchase and maintain security tools ASM becomes a solution for enterprises. It can replace products, like asset discovery tools, vulnerability management tools and threat intelligence feeds with its capabilities.
It has helped identify security flaws in our infrastructure that has helped better secure our client's data. It did so quickly and efficiently so I was able to move on to other tasks.
