Background

For Maggioli Group, cybersecurity is more than just a compliance issue; it’s a strategic objective that is essential to each clients’ success. To move beyond baseline security practices like network vulnerability scans and penetration tests, Maggioli Group wanted to find a new solution that could democratize cyber threat intelligence and provide complete visibility on all of a client’s Internet-facing resources at a universally accessible price point.

Maggioli Group needed a solution that would easily scale across hundreds of organizations, deploy without a lengthy process of standing up new infrastructure, and provide quantifiable improvements to clients’ cybersecurity posture. If value-added services and remediation assistance could also be offered to support the product, it would be an ideal solution to add to Maggioli Group’s portfolio of cybersecurity tools.

Why Group-IB

Maggioli Group was searching for a way to build upon and democratize their existing expertise in threat intelligence and penetration testing.
A natural product class to complement these services is external attack surface management (EASM).

Group-IB, a trusted partner of Maggioli Group, offers Attack Surface Management to give organizations complete visibility on all of their Internet-facing IT assets. After exploring a number of EASM solutions, Maggioli Group selected Group-IB Attack Surface Management because of its scalability and its unique threat intelligence insights.

Partners can quickly add all of their clients to the product dashboard without needing to obtain any detailed information from their points of contact, making it easy to scale the product to dozens or even hundreds of accounts with minimal resource allocation. Partners can add new clients to their license, control client subscriptions in the product’s admin panel, and grant role-based access to clients as needed, all with minimal reliance on Group-IB.

Group-IB Attack Surface Management is an agentless and fully cloud-based solution, so deployment doesn’t require any new infrastructure from the partner or the clients. Once deployed, the solution immediately starts mapping out the client’s external attack surface, identifying vulnerabilities, and prioritizing action items based on an AI-generated risk score. This enables the partner to help the client remediate urgent vulnerabilities first, providing a tangible improvement to security posture and a fast return on investment for both the product and value-added services.

As Maggioli Group was already in the market for an external attack surface management solution, selecting Group-IB Attack Surface Management was a natural choice. With over 20 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry, including more than 1,400 investigations and 70,000 hours of incident response, Group-IB is a reliable ally in the fight against cybercrime for all partners.

About the Group-IB solution

Group-IB Attack Surface Management is an intelligence-driven SaaS solution designed to discover, analyze, and manage the attack surfaces of multiple clients from one, simple interface. The tool provides full visibility on all of an organization’s external-facing assets, including shadow IT and forgotten infrastructure, and identifies the assets that may be potential attack vectors. Vulnerabilities are assigned a quantitative risk score and prioritized based on the urgency of remediation.

Unlike other products, the Group-IB solution goes beyond a basic inventory of IT assets to provide industry-leading threat intelligence data. These insights help partners to map clients’ IT assets to real threats, such as mentions on underground forums, botnet activity, malware research, or communications with C&C servers used to launch attacks. Alerts are issued for high-priority items and critical vulnerabilities.

As issues are addressed and solved, they are removed from the dashboard’s view but remain tracked to enable partners to monitor their progress over time. Partners can track and compare their clients’ security posture to that of other companies in the same region or in the same industry. Advanced reporting features make it easy to build and export custom reports to demonstrate real value to stakeholders.

Client security outcomes

Maggioli Group’s clients gained a clear understanding of their own infrastructure and external-facing IT assets. This complete visibility enabled clients to quickly remediate high-risk vulnerabilities, strengthening network security with minimal input and providing a fast return on investment. Additionally, with a more secure external attack surface, clients experienced fewer incidents in their environments and had fewer alerts to address in their MDR/XDR solutions. This saves time for security personnel and allows them to focus on other high-priority projects.

Not only did Attack Surface Management have a real impact on clients’ security posture, it also provides reporting features that make it easy to present those results to stakeholders. Maggioli Group can show the product’s value to clients, who can then share that information with the leadership in their organizations to demonstrate significant improvements to security and a measurable ROI.

Group-IB is a reliable and effective partner that we’ve been building business with since 2016. When I first saw AttackSurface Management, I was extremely excited because it condenses a great deal of threat intelligence into an attack surface management product that is accessible to a much broader customer base than similar solutions. This solution also gives us unique, profitable services offering opportunities that scale our revenue while also making our customers genuinely more secure.
