Superna Data Attack Surface Manager (DASM) is a software solution designed to provide continuous, real-time visibility into the data attack surface within an organization’s storage environment. Unlike traditional device-centric vulnerability tools, DASM focuses on the actual risk to sensitive data by analyzing who accesses data, how often, and how sensitive that data is. It delivers data-first risk scoring, continuous exposure mapping, and automated enforcement of data security policies, enabling organizations to proactively reduce their attack surface and improve their data security posture. DASM integrates with existing vulnerability management tools, enhancing their capabilities with data-centric context and automated controls.

Key Features

Data-First Risk Scoring Short description: Prioritizes remediation based on real-time risk to sensitive data.

• Considers user access patterns, frequency, and data sensitivity.
• Assigns real-time risk scores to hosts and users.

Continuous Exposure Mapping Short description: Visualizes data access relationships across the environment.

• Maps user, host, and file access in real time.
• Identifies risks undetectable by traditional scanners.

Automated Data Security Policy Enforcement Short description: Dynamically applies controls based on exposure thresholds.

• Blocks access for hosts exceeding risk thresholds.
• Enforces data security posture automatically.

Vulnerability Scanner Enhancements Short description: Integrates data risk context into vulnerability scanners.

• Publishes attack surface data to scanning tools.
• Enables targeted, accelerated scanning for high-risk hosts.

Customizable Enforcement and Audit Rules Short description: Allows tailored security policies and notifications.

• Adjusts enforcement and notifications based on threat posture.
• Automates protection without manual intervention.

Benefits

Prioritized Remediation Short description: Focuses resources on the most critical risks.

• Reduces time spent patching low-risk hosts.
• Enables faster mitigation of high-risk exposures.

Improved Threat Detection and Response Short description: Enhances visibility and reaction to data-centric threats.

• Detects high-risk user behaviors in real time.
• Improves mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).

Automated, Proactive Protection Short description: Reduces manual workload and enforces security automatically.

• Applies preventative controls before patches are available.
• Maintains data security posture with minimal upkeep.
