Visibility is Key when defending the enterprise - HIDE & Seek

Enterprise cyber security can be daunting with so many systems to consider both internally and public Internet facing. Something which on the surface seems simple is asset profiling and system visibility.  - Knowing what we have to secure is a good step in the right direction. Visibility is of paramount importance. It helps us understand what we have to secure.  In our experience, as an organization grows towards enterprise level visibility reduces. - More systems to secure, both physical and virtual and more change/flux occurring more frequently. The ability to understand what systems and services (assets) are enabled and exposed to both internal users and the public Internet is key given we cannot secure assets we are not aware of. Having visibility of your estate is important given many of such assets contain sensitive organizational data or are ingress points to such data and systems and require an adequate level of security management applied to them.
