Strategic Security Fixes—Proven to Work
Finding what to fix is now a critical challenge for CISOs. The attack surface continues to broaden and diversify as the number of unknown assets grows, creating an unpatchable layer of exposure for organizations. Visibility and discoverability are limited; yet, with businesses under pressure to achieve more with less, large-scale vulnerability management programs are not appropriate, as well as often out of pace with the latest TTPs. More mature organizations need to validate their controls and policies beyond compliance mandates. Companies also require more hands-on support, especially during the critical stage immediately after incidents and risk assessments.
Targeted Security Assessments
Exposure management solutions from Kroll allow you to identify where exposures are, validate the effectiveness of your defenses and implement new or updated controls. Precisely target your choice of assessments to specific areas of concern or potential vulnerability with capabilities that enable you to test specific products, apps or software, not just sections of your network.
Our approach to exposure management drives continuous improvement by constantly adapting and adjusting our assessments to ensure that they meet not only changing security conditions but also evolving business priorities. This includes pen testing engagements that are continuous and fully product-focused, allowing you to address security risks in real time. Our broad-ranging solutions, extensive frontline experience and in-depth knowledge of adversaries and their behavior ensure that you can precisely find and fix vulnerabilities in your exposure layer at pace, while maximizing your security investment.
Kroll’s enterprise security risk management experts also provide physical security assessments, routinely conducted at corporate headquarters, executive residences, facilities, offices and more. Click here for more details.
Our Approach to Reducing Your Threat Exposure
Identify Where Your Exposures Are | Validate How Effective Your Defenses Are | Implement New or Updated Controls |
|---|---|---|
Kroll’s Digital Risk Protection services monitor your surface, deep and dark web footprint to continuously uncover exposures and emerging threats such as data leakage, brand misuse and compromised accounts, malicious domains and third-party risks. We also identify internet-facing enterprise assets and vulnerabilities such as open ports, software patching issues, vulnerable servers, exposed credentials, dark web disclosures and third-party partner software code vulnerabilities that could be exploited by adversaries. | Kroll’s penetration testing, red teaming and purple teaming services combine automated and practitioner-led testing using TTPs gained from our unrivaled exposure to 3,000+ IR cases a year to bring customized simulations to your environment and help plug detection and response gaps. | Our vCISO and advisory services enable prioritized implementation of controls, policies and processes from strategic initiatives such as policy design and risk reduction plans, to more focused initiatives such as security awareness training and system hardening. |

Intelligence-Led Validation and Testing for Continuous Improvement
Security validation is a critical aspect of achieving true cyber maturity in today’s complex threat landscape. However, to be effective, it must be frequent, driven by business operations and security strategy, and capable of delivering measurable improvements. Testing should be built around specific scenarios and guided by business workflows and threat intelligence.
While testing led by up-to-date intelligence is already an aspect of meeting regulatory frameworks such as DORA and OSFI I-CRT, it is likely to be required by others in the near future. At Kroll, our approach to testing and validation is driven by strategy and threat intelligence, rather than by compliance mandates alone, making our threat exposure services more business-focused, insightful and impactful.
Adapt to the Changing Threat Landscape with Seamless Support
In a fast-moving threat environment, traditional security approaches that rely purely on ad-hoc testing and long periods of scoping and approval put organizations at risk. Our proven track record and experience of working in partnership with leading businesses mean that we can move more quickly, simplifying and streamlining the process of uncovering and addressing exposures and vulnerabilities. Unlike the gaps in knowledge and delays associated with traditional approaches, our end-to-end solutions significantly shorten the time it takes to find and fix vulnerabilities.
