June has been a big month for Hexiosec ASM with the release of two much-requested features: asset tagging and a cross-scan dashboard.
Both of these features can help you to understand your data better, and give you more flexibility around how you organise and prioritise your risk remediation efforts.
You can now tag domains and IPs in your scans to help apply your specialist knowledge to your results. This can help you to organise your results, especially when you have a particularly large attack surface with lots of risks. Applying tags that reflect things like ownership and business criticality, can help to make the data more meaningful to your business and help you to make informed decisions about where to focus your resources.
Tags you’ve applied are shown on the widgets on the scan overview page to visualise the context you’ve added.
You can add tags from the Explore page for an IP address or domain…
and also from the Domains and IPs pages, where you can also filter by tags as well.
Anyone with Admin or Editor roles for a scan can add and remove tags on domains and IPs quickly and easily. Tags that have been added can be seen by all users with access to the scan.
Tags can be managed at the Organisation level and requires either Organisation Owner, Admin or Manager privileges. Under your organisation settings you can create, delete, rename and apply different colours to tags.
When a scan produces a lot of results, it can be quite difficult to manage the results as there is so much to look at. Allowing you to add tags allows you to focus your time and effort more efficiently. We will be adding more functionality and capability to tags in the future, and would love to hear any use cases you may have for them that we can try to accommodate in the next phase.
In February, we announced a beta version of the cross-scan dashboard was available. Since then, we have been refining it and are now excited to announce we are rolling it out to all Premium, Enterprise and MSP users.
The dashboard allows you to choose multiple scans to view and compare side by side. This dashboard can be powerful in a number of scenarios:
The dashboard can be accessed in the navigation bar on the left
You can select which scans to view on the dashboard by searching or filtering based on scan group.
Based on the scans you’ve selected, you can view, sort by and compare some key figures:
Across the selected scans, you can also see:
If there are scan collections you use regularly, you can bookmark the URL so you can easily return to the same view. Saving views of scans in the app is a feature we will be adding in the future.
During the next phase of development, we will be adding Scan Metrics (as seen for individual scans in our May blog) to give you even more power to sort your data by the figures that are important.
With the release of these two big features, we are more keen than ever to hear your feedback. Please let us know if there are any additional tagging or dashboard capabilities you would find useful, and we will take it on board for our next phase of development.
We’ve got some exciting features coming over the next couple of months. Please get in touch if there are any features you would like to see us add to our roadmap.
