New Blog Post | Latest Defender EASM Features Increase Visibility and Enhance Querying

Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management (Defender EASM) discovers and classifies assets and workloads across your organization's digital presence to enable teams to understand and prioritize exposed weaknesses in cloud, SaaS, and IaaS resources to strengthen security posture. Features recently added increase CWE and CVE visibility and boost query efficiency so users can focus on finding the information that's most important to their environment. Below, learn about these powerful new enhancements and how you can begin using them today.  
 

New Features 

 

CWE Top 25 Software Weaknesses dashboard  

The Top 25 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) list is provided annually by MITRE. These CWEs represent the most common and impactful software weaknesses that are easy to find and exploit. This dashboard displays all CWEs included on the list over the last five years, listing all inventory assets that might be impacted by each CWE. Referencing this dashboard saves you research time and helps your vulnerability remediation efforts by helping you identify the greatest risks to your organization based on other tangible observed exploits. 

 

 

 

CISA Known Exploits dashboard  

While there are hundreds of thousands of identified CVE vulnerabilities, only a small subset hasve been identified by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as recently exploited by threat actors. This list includes less than .5% of all identified CVEs; for this reason, it is instrumental to helping security professionals prioritize the remediation of the greatest risks to their organization. Those who remediate threats based on this list operate with the upmost efficiency because they’re prioritizing the vulnerabilities that have resulted in real security incidents.  

Both new Defender EASM dashboards are designed to help users find the threats that pose the greatest threat to their organization as efficiently as possible. To learn more about dashboards, see our help documentation.
