Overview

Pentera Credential Exposure is a specialized module within the Pentera Automated Security Validation platform, designed to continuously monitor and validate the exposure of credentials across an organization's entire attack surface. By leveraging real-world attack simulations, Pentera Credential Exposure helps security teams identify and remediate vulnerabilities related to stolen or leaked credentials before they can be exploited by malicious actors. This module provides a comprehensive approach to credential security, covering internal networks, external attack surfaces, and cloud environments. The platform is built to scale with the needs of enterprise security teams, offering the ability to orchestrate distributed attacks across decentralized IT architectures. This capability ensures that organizations can maintain a consistent security posture, regardless of the complexity of their IT environment. Pentera Credential Exposure's research-driven attack scenarios are aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, providing security teams with the most up-to-date techniques and tactics used by adversaries.

Features

• Continuous Monitoring: Pentera Credential Exposure continuously monitors stolen and compromised credentials against the organization's complete attack surface. This ongoing validation helps preempt breaches by identifying and addressing credential exposures in real-time.
• Real-World Attack Simulation: The platform safely simulates real-world attacks using the broadest library of adversary techniques. This simulation helps organizations understand their true exposure and prioritize remediation efforts based on proven impact.
• Comprehensive Coverage: The module covers all attack surfaces, including internal networks, external attack surfaces, and cloud environments. This comprehensive coverage ensures that no part of the organization's IT environment is left untested.
• Credential Exposure Testing: Pentera tests for credential exposure by identifying weak or leaked credentials that could be used to advance attacks. This testing helps organizations strengthen their identity and access management practices.
• Multi-Format Credential Validation: The platform validates leaked credentials in multiple formats, including clear-text, hashed, and partial sets. This multi-format validation ensures that all potential credential exposures are identified and addressed.
• Lateral Movement and Pivoting: Pentera simulates lateral movement and pivoting between assets, network segments, and cloud environments. This capability helps organizations understand how an attacker could move through their network and identify potential attack paths.
• Exfiltration and Impact Simulation: The platform emulates the outcome of successful attacks, including data exfiltration and operational impact. This simulation helps organizations understand the potential consequences of a breach and prioritize their remediation efforts.
• Remediation Guidance: Pentera provides detailed remediation guidance, helping security teams eliminate critical attack paths and fix identified security gaps. This guidance ensures that remediation efforts are focused on the most impactful vulnerabilities.
• Continuous Updates: The platform's Cyber Pulse mechanism delivers frequent updates covering emerging high-profile CVEs, misconfigurations, and attack techniques. This continuous updating ensures that organizations stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain confidence in their security posture.
• Reporting and Analytics: Pentera offers detailed reporting and analytics, providing security teams with insights into their security posture and the effectiveness of their controls. These reports help organizations track their progress and demonstrate ongoing security improvements.
