Solutions Offered by Axonius

IT

The Axonius Platform assists IT teams in dealing with the challenge of personnel shortages, budget constraints, and the expanding attack surface by giving full visibility into assets and infrastructure. It unifies asset data by aggregating, normalizing, and correlating data from multiple sources, allowing teams to manage complex environments efficiently. Axonius tracks dynamic assets like virtual machines and cloud workloads throughout their lifecycles, ensuring accurate inventory management. The platform also helps improve IT hygiene by identifying assets with outdated software or missing agents. Axonius also assists in identifying rogue devices, enforcing security policies, and automating tasks like vulnerability detection and compliance monitoring. This enables IT teams to focus on strategic priorities while maintaining operational efficiency and security.

Energy

The Axonius Cybersecurity Platform assists energy and utility companies in solving unique cybersecurity challenges by giving them complete visibility into IT, OT, and IoT assets. It aggregates, normalizes, deduplicates, and correlates data from different sources, thus allowing utilities to understand their full asset environment-including vulnerabilities and operational states. Visibility is important in the identification and resolution of threats, particularly for legacy equipment that cannot be updated or replaced. Axonius allows utilities to monitor complex, distributed environments and ensure that critical infrastructure is secure against cyber threats, including nation-state actors. By correlating OT and IT data, Axonius helps improve security, minimize risks, and protect vital services from potential disruptions.

Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM)

The Axonius platform helps organizations manage their cyber asset attack surface by providing a comprehensive view of all assets, both internal and internet-facing. It integrates with existing security tools to provide critical data on vulnerabilities, user accounts, installed software, and more. It identifies high-risk assets, helps organizations visualize their attack surface, and provides context for mitigating security controls. The Axonius Asset Graph offers users an understanding of dependencies and the potential "blast radius" in threat management. The Query Wizard makes it easy for teams to quickly investigate security concerns, track compromised devices, and respond to vulnerabilities, and the Enforcement Center enables automated risk mitigation, all of which help in decreasing the overall attack surface and tightening security.

SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)

Axonius delivers a robust solution for SaaS Security Posture Management, helping organizations manage the risks associated with their SaaS applications. It provides an inventory of sanctioned, unsanctioned, and unmanaged apps, as well as third-party extensions and OAuth tokens, thereby increasing visibility into an organization's SaaS ecosystem. The platform identifies misconfigurations, suspicious behavior, compliance gaps, and user access issues. This helps in reducing risks further by having remediation options built in and automated responses to the security vulnerabilities. Axonius further enhances identity and access management as it identifies users accessing unsanctioned applications, gives deep insights into user behavior in SaaS, and also helps with compliance assessments in making sure there is industry standards adherence and reduction of risks on the vendor side.
