Blind Visibility and Exposure Analysis (BVEA)
Blind Internet footprint analysis ensures that only the information and systems required for business purposes are exposed to the Internet. Without assistance from the client, Illumant enumerates all identifiable Internet-facing sites, applications, networks, and systems, characterizing the client’s cyber-attack surface. This analysis also includes forum, dark web, and IRC searches to find any revealing or nefarious chatter regarding the client’s systems and networks. Recommendations are then provided to minimize the client’s cyber-attack surface.
