When it comes to exposure of your networks, computers and devices on the Internet, ignorance is not bliss. If it can be seen, you can be attacked. We can help you to see and neutralize your vulnerabilities.
The Costs of Insecurity Are High and Growing #
- Remote distributed workforce with BYODHas made traditional defences like VPNs irrelevant
- Everything is Getting ConnectedIt is no longer just your data at risk
- Al is expanding both the sophistication and breadth of attacksExponentially lowering the costs and increasing the power of decentralized attacks
SMBs Are in the Bullseye #
While attackers used to spend most of their energy on big Enterprise and government targets, that has all changed. Powered by ever more sophisticated tools and automation, criminals gangs, hostile state actors and other adversaries are coming after small-to-midsized businesses with the same ruthless efficiency.
And its no longer just data they are after – Ransomware is even more lucrative when the threat is to shut down the production line of manufacturers, critical ehealthcare devices, charging stations and so on. If it is connected and can be seen, it can and will be attacked.
Attack Surface & Threat Analysis Can Help #
Faction has partnered with the Mobile Intelligence Alliance to provide independent services which proved different levels of visibility into internet-exposed devices, including network details and metadata about the connected assets of an organization such as the OS and network services that are exposed and potentially vulnerable to attackers.
Various types of sophisticated, industry leading scanning and analysis tools are used to obtain the information needed to assess the risks of exposed assets to external attacks. Deeper inspection can then reveal active communications and potential attempts of potentially malicious nodes targeting your network, who is attacking, and a profile of the attacking network.

Attack Surface Management #
As the remote workforce grows and the number of connected devices increases, organizations become more distributed, expanding their attack surface, and exposing them to elevated levels of risk.
Connected assets that comprise an attack surface include everything from servers and computers to printers and smartphones. Assets with internet exposure become targets for adversaries that attempt to exploit applications that actively listen for connections to provide services to your organization.
The role of Attack Surface Management (ASM) is important but can be expensive and time consuming. Organizations that rely on mission-critical services often do not have the resources to monitor their attack surface, but need help to identify their exposure, prioritize risks, and find ways to mitigate it. For these organizations, the Faction Attack Surface Assessment (ASA) can help.

Understand Your Threat Environment and What You Should Be Looking At #
The Exposure Assessment provides intelligence into internet-connected services and devices used in different industries. It looks at service protocols and host information to show the attack surface routinely exploited by criminal hacker organizations and state-affiliated threat groups.
While threats are pervasive, not all industries are equal in either their exposure or the severity of impact for cyberattacks. Manufacturing, Healthcare are two in particular – and of course Infrastructure, starting with Green Energy – that share characteristics which make organizations vulnerable to catastrophic damage from criminal and hostile state actors.
- Smart, dumb and legacy devices which are mission critical to operations – or even the lives of customers, staff and end users. It’s not just your data that hackers are after any more.
- The inability of VPNs and Firewalls – or even ZTNA – to truly protect these devices, as they have no CPUs or other resources.
- The difficulty in getting end users and staff to adhere to rigorous cybersecurity best practices that are then required to try to keep them safe.

Find Out Exactly What Devices, Networks and Data Are Visible and Vulnerable to Attack in Your Organization Right Now
No matter how many layers of security, training, processes and monitoring you have in place, one fundamental truth remains: if it can be seen, it can be studied and attacked.
Faction Threat and Vulnerability Assessments provide a detailed report of exactly what can be seen on your networks and devices on the Internet. If they can be seen by us, they can be seen by anyone – most especially malicious adversaries armed with the same tools. It is only a matter of time – and how valuable the target – before you are compromised.
The Faction team conducts a multi-faceted analysis of an organization’s attack surface with sophisticated tools. It scans a range of IP networks and hosts provided by the organization and searches for known vulnerabilities. The scan results are provided in a report showing exposed and highly vulnerable assets.
This then gives you the power to make informed and intelligent decisions about your true level of risk, and what to do about it. And of course, if you want to mitigate that risk, Faction can provide low-cost options and support your MSP to implement a strategy and plan to get all of your critical devices, computers and systems off of the Internet.
Remote malicious actors – no matter how sophisticated – cannot attack what they cannot see or reach.

Learn What Critical Networks and Devices Are Under Attack Right Now and the Location and Genesis of the Attackers
If you find that your critical networks, devices and systems are vulnerable, the next question becomes: “How immediate is the threat?” In many cases, you may be under attack right now. Faction can give you this critical intelligence and analysis in order to take immediate effective steps to neutralize attacks and focus your investigation of what is compromised.
The Faction Threat Analysis and Reconnaissance Team will conduct a deep inspection of an organization’s attack surface to uncover potential surface weaknesses and compromises. It uncovers malicious external networks which actively and periodically attempt to breach the organization’s network defenses, and the techniques and tactics used.
