Digital Defense Frontline Review

Quick, Accurate, And Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanning

Frontline has the capability to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively scan endpoints and servers to detect vulnerabilities and weaknesses in applications, operating systems, and IP devices on a network. It is built with a preconfigured network-based device called Frontline RNA or Reconnaissance Network Appliance. This device scans all IP accessible devices which include servers, workstations, printers, IP phones, switches, firewalls and more.

Frontline RNA is powered by a scanning engine that can discover vulnerabilities beyond the traditional approaches employed by other network scanning or auditing technologies. This is because it has the ability to detect the flaws, attacker techniques, and previously unknown software vulnerabilities that are often missed by traditional network scanning technologies.

As an example, Frontline RNA scans networks and services as contiguous entities wherein information gathered from every host, service, and application is reused throughout the entire network. This way, it can simulate the techniques of skilled attackers who combine information from different levels of vulnerabilities to launch attacks resulting in data breaches.

Analyze Vulnerabilities With Actionable Intelligence

In order for organizations and their security analysts to remediate vulnerabilities, Frontline makes sure that data gathered from network vulnerability scans is converted into actionable intelligence. Thus, the solution lets them analyze vulnerability data in such a way that they are able to quickly identify network assets and areas that are at risk. It doesn’t overwhelm them with data that may mislead them or has a limited value.

Frontline innovates vulnerability analysis and research by enabling users to manage and control data with mobility. Thus, they will be able to easily access data, whether they are in front of their computers or they are working using their tablets or smartphones. In addition, Frontline has powerful filtering features which allow users to filter scan results so they can instantly identify areas of high risk and focus. As they filter data, the solution enables them to create custom reports that they can schedule. They can also assign remediation tasks using workflows.

Security Rating And Vulnerability Scoring

Frontline permits users to measure their overall risk so they can assess how their organization’s security posture is improving as they discover vulnerabilities and remediate them. It delivers a security rating system that provides metrics and scorecards based on the criticality and vulnerability of servers, applications, and devices on their network. In this system, even the smallest improvements are taken into account.

Integrate Vulnerabilities Into Security Workflow

The vulnerability management solution offers organizations the capability integrate the vulnerabilities they discovered, analyzed, scored, and prioritized into leading security workflow management platforms and SIEMs (security information and event management systems) such as ServiceNow, ZenDesk, and QRadar. Because of this, they can manage their security operations and achieve compliance better.  For instance, its integration with ServiceNow permits them to receive automated alerts on the platform whenever there are new vulnerabilities discovered on their network. Then, from the ServiceNow platform, they will be able to remediate these vulnerabilities.

Network Penetration And Social Engineering Tests

Equipped with a team of skilled and experienced testers, Frontline helps organizations assess their security posture by performing tests that simulate the techniques of attackers. Through network penetration and social engineering tests, they will be able to understand how their current vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers and determine if their IT assets, data, and employees can be compromised.

Network penetration testing is done by allowing security analysts from Digital Defense to utilize a comprehensive set of tools to test the network defenses of an organization. They will exploit and access core servers, domain controllers, e-mail platforms, ERP systems, and other key systems. Then, they will document their findings and produce reports.

Meanwhile, social engineering tests are conducted by simulating the techniques used by attackers in deceiving people to convince them to provide confidential and valuable information. These techniques are classified under social engineering attacks because the cyber criminals who are deploying such techniques are using social engagement to trick people and gain access to confidential information. These include phone-based, web-based phishing, or email-based phishing, targeted emails, and on-site social engineering,
