The Defense Information Systems Agency unveiled a commercial off-the-shelf technology to track and map potential attacks on the internet. The platform is designed to search for critical gaps, confirm remediation results, provide alerts to any public network changes and address compliance requirements, DISA said Monday.
The system also functions to manage misconfigured cloud and internet assets as well as validate potential system behavior risks between the public internet and the network attack surface. In addition, DISA utilizes the system to secure the Department of Defense’s information network. DISA noted that misconfigurations occur in unregistered internet protocol space due to attempts to enable core operations and support mission needs.
