Detecting a threat before it’s exploited is one of the most important priorities for any organization with a digital presence today.<\/b> But how can you achieve this without compromising your internal network? Is it possible to have real visibility into your vulnerabilities without performing intrusive or invasive scans? The answer is yes, and tools like <\/span>Kartos<\/span><\/a> by Enthec are making it possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kartos is an advanced solution for <\/span>Continuous\u00a0<\/b>Threat Exposure\u00a0<\/strong>Management <\/span>(CTEM), designed specifically for businesses. It enables you to identify, prioritize, and address digital weaknesses before an attacker can exploit them as an entry point. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through an<\/span> external, non-intrusive, and fully automated approach, <\/b>Kartos continuously scans your digital footprint, including domains, subdomains, exposed applications, cloud assets, public configurations, and other relevant information. All without the need to install agents or access your internal network. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you interested in learning how you can reduce your risk of cyberattacks without modifying your current infrastructure?<\/b> Discover how Kartos can help you take the next step toward a more confident and proactive posture.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a CVE, and why should you pay attention to it?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Before getting into the subject, it is essential to understand<\/span> what a CVE is.<\/b>. The acronyms correspond to <\/span>Common Vulnerabilities and\u00a0<\/b>Exposures<\/strong><\/span>. It’s an international standard that classifies and labels known security flaws in software and hardware. Each vulnerability is given a unique identifier, such as CVE-2024-12345, making it easier to track and resolve. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why are they so relevant to your company?<\/b> Because when a CVE is published, cybercriminals also become aware of it. Many rely on these lists to find organizations that have not yet patched their systems or that remain publicly exposed. <\/span><\/p>\n

CVE and cybersecurity are terms that should always be used in conjunction. It’s not enough to know them; you have to manage them proactively. <\/span><\/p>\n
