Macnica launches manufacturer-approved domain investigation service that further enhances the use of ULTRA RED, which manages vulnerabilities in externally disclosed assets ~ Comprehensive visualization of externally disclosed assets, reducing customer operational burden and highly accurate risk discovery Support ~

Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President CEO: Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter referred to as Macnica) will increase the effectiveness of the product introduction of ULTRA RED Ltd. (Headquarters: Tel Aviv, Israel, CEO: Eran Shtauber, hereinafter referred to as ULTRA RED) We are pleased to announce today that we will begin providing the manufacturer-approved ULTRA RED domain search service (hereinafter referred to as the domain search service).

In recent years, the number of assets exposed to the outside world has rapidly increased as companies have increasingly adopted digital transformation and cloud usage and remote work have become widespread. On the other hand, cyberattacks have evolved into attacks that target externally disclosed assets for which companies have insufficient countermeasures, and are causing significant damage to companies, including leaks of personal information and business suspensions. Under these circumstances, a method called Attack Surface Management (ASM), which identifies and manages assets that can be attacked, is attracting attention.

The important points for companies to implement ASM are the "comprehensiveness" and "accuracy" of domain research. If there is an omission in the investigation of the initial seed domain, the discovery of IPs and associated devices will also be omitted, and ultimately the discovery of risks will also be omitted. In addition, if unrelated domains are managed, a large amount of noise will be generated, which will place an operational burden on removing the noise, resulting in a delay in the original purpose of detecting and dealing with risks.

The ULTRA RED official domain search service provided by Macnica this time can be used in addition to the ULTRA RED product to continuously and comprehensively discover the customer's externally disclosed assets with a high degree of accuracy.

After further comprehensive investigation and denoising by the domain investigation service on the related domains investigated using ULTRA RED products, the FQDN/IP is investigated/monitored again using ULTRA RED products. By using tools and services to “understand,” “analyze,” and “determine” externally disclosed assets, customers can focus on the subsequent “measures.” By combining the continuity of tools with the accuracy and comprehensiveness of services using human hands and eyes, we support more advanced security measures.

■ULTRA RED Features
ULTRA RED has its development base in Israel, one of the world's leading cyber powers, and provides military-grade security solutions developed by engineers from the Israeli military's 8,200 world-class cyber units. By leveraging the experience and knowledge cultivated by our cyber team and making full use of automated attack emulation technology, we are able to demonstrate the existence of vulnerabilities within an organization and the effectiveness of intrusions, and continuously manage them.

■Domain research service features
Specialists who are familiar with cyber attack methods, including members of Macnica 's Security Research Center, will trace the connections between the customer's head office and group company domains, related domains, and IP addresses from the same perspective as the attacker. We will identify related assets. Based on manual investigations that do not rely solely on tools, we are able to thoroughly identify assets that the customer is unaware of, including domains, stray servers, and overseas locations.
