With an ever-expanding cyber attack surface, organizations today are struggling to keep a finger on the pulse of their threat landscapes. Combine this with the economic pressures facing every business, and security and IT leaders are struggling to allocate their teams’ precious time and resources to adequately address the multitude of incidents battering their inboxes daily.
Traditional security tools help keep threats at bay — but these tools are acting in silos, speaking different languages, and are unable to provide a holistic view of an organization's risk. This presents an onslaught of challenges when trying to secure the attack surface. A short-list of these challenges includes prioritizing incidents, adhering to security policies, and identifying current threat actors and security coverage gaps.
To address the above challenges, an organization must have a clear view of their network environments, and, with the help of Axonius, they can do just that.
Axonius connects via simple API connections to the tools organizations already use, collecting source data about assets and asset-related information. Axonius then correlates that data to gain a comprehensive analysis of the environment, and presents a unified view of the entire attack surface. Devices, users, SaaS applications, and cloud workloads are uniformly presented with deeper context, and, when combined with the power of Splunk, gives organizations a clear and actionable picture of every asset within their network.
With the Axonius TA for Splunk, Splunk customers can leverage the power of Axonius to correlate data across their existing security tools within their Splunk console. Axonius enriches the existing data known to Splunk with greater context, in addition to discovering assets that were previously unaccounted for.
To enable the Axonius TA for Splunk, download the add-on and simply call the Axonius REST API to begin. Organizations can then utilize saved queries to:
Once installed, you can reference the Axonius Community for configuration and best practices using the Axonius Splunk Add-On.
The best part: IT and security teams will save both time and resources and improve their ability to manage the cyber attack surface.
Together, Axonius and Splunk provide deeper intelligence into an organization's attack surface by limiting data noise distracting teams from managing the larger threats compromising their environments.
"Culture is the foundation for any high-performing team. We all process information differently, we listen differently. We come from different backgrounds and experiences. No matter who you are, I want to know that. I want to understand what makes you you and treat you the way you want to be treated, not how I project myself onto you.”
— Jen Easterly, director, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
“[Create an environment] where people can understand when they can take time off and not feel like everything is going to fall apart. [Where] they have a plan for their career and how they’re going to grow. [Where] they have time to be with their friends and family enough not to be burned out."
— Deidre Diamond, founder and CEO of CyberSN and Security Diversity
“Actively invite engagement, listen with purpose, and look for signs of burnout. You can't expect everyone to feel equally comfortable expressing an opinion, and so it's important to solicit feedback at times as opposed to always passively expecting it. When you are getting engagement, listen with purpose. Make an effort to not only hear what's being said, but understand and empathize. Lastly, look for signs of burnout. … If you're noticing signs of burnout on the team, look for ways to intervene, like ensuring adequate team resourcing/load balancing to create a healthy work/life balance for everyone, and that team members are able to take PTO."
— Daniel Trauner, senior director of security, Axonius
“We need an environment where failure is not only tolerated, but an understood aspect of innovation. Our attackers are failing forward every single day, [and] we deserve the ability to do the same if we are going to protect our people, data, and organizations.”
