Explore your Assets and Posture

New Asset Details screen

Now you can see all the information about specific assets by using the Full Details view (accessible from the asset’s contextual menu […]).

Allow selection of App/Env by Users and Teams.

We keep looking for ways to increase productivity and user experience within AppSec Phoenix. Part of that effort is adding additional ways to filter and select Applications and Environments in the Risk Explorer – like the Users and Teams filters just released.

Add the “time” element to the Risk Target dial.

A full vulnerability resolution history allows AppSec Phoenix to calculate useful statistics, like MTTR. Now we are making that information even more useful by displaying the estimated resolution time within the “gap analysis” block in the Risk Target dial.

Introduce Risk Target dial to App/Env pages

To bring additional insights to our Risk Explorer, you can now see the “delta” between the current risk level and that target or threshold for individual Applications and Environments.

Business Modelling

Allow association of Teams to App/Env by tags.

Finding the right Application or Environment by tag is useful for association teams with those entities. But we are taking that idea to the next level and automatically assigning Apps and Envs to teams if they contain the selected tag(s).

Integrations

Nessus Infra

Users can now take advantage of the vulnerability reports created by Nessus Infra by using our native integration with the scanning platform.

Usability & Others

Make Server URL optional for integrations with a common default

When configuring scanners that have a common, well-known server URL, you can leave the URL empty and the platform would use the default one. The field is still there to support custom scenarios.

Component-level Ticketing/Notification configuration for Enterprise customers

Our Enterprise Licence customers can define ticketing and notification integrations for individual Components (Apps) and Services (Envs). This allows for handling exceptions where a particular component needs to integrate with channels that are different from its parent Application or Environment.

Francesco is an internationally renowned public speaker, with multiple interviews in high-profile publications (eg. Forbes), and an author of numerous books and articles, who utilises his platform to evangelize the importance of Cloud security and cutting-edge technologies on a global scale.
