based or risk profile.<br />
• Unite threat intelligence from<br />
multiple sources to better prioritize<br />
risks across the environment<br />
Since the asset risk-to-user privilege<br />
risk pattern is a common attack<br />
vector, deploy solutions that correlate<br />
asset-based risk with user-based activity<br />
to gain a more complete picture<br />
of risks, gaining<br />
needed prioritization<br />
of the most<br />
impactful risks. For<br />
example, advanced<br />
persistent threats<br />
(APTs) can be analyzed<br />
against privileged<br />
password,<br />
user, and account<br />
activity, along with<br />
asset characteristics<br />
such as vulnerability<br />
count, vulnerability level, attacks<br />
detected, risk score, applications, services,<br />
software and ports. Consuming<br />
multiple data feeds from in-place solutions<br />
into a single console can help<br />
mitigate additional costs and reduce<br />
complexity.<br />
“The federal government is moving<br />
to modernize its aging infrastructure,”<br />
said Kevin Hickey, President<br />
and CEO at BeyondTrust. “But that<br />
takes time, and in the meantime, federal<br />
systems face a real risk. These are<br />
simple steps IT can take today to help<br />
mitigate that risk.”<br />
