Introduction

August has been another busy month for the FractalScan Surface team, with yet more improvements to our software component detection, and a new Domains export function added.

Improved component detection on websites

FractalScan can reveal the technology stack of any website including frameworks and JavaScript libraries. We have made improvements to FractalScan’s technology profiler which performs this task. The technology profiler now searches for over a thousand technologies. With increasingly thorough component detection, FractalScan is able to identify a broader range of risks for vulnerable software components that are present on websites.

Domains export

In order to make it easier to share FractalScan Surface’s data with other systems, an export has been added to the Domains page. You can filter your domains list in app, and then export the filtered view in CSV format.

Domains export function

A FractalScan Surface Enterprise, MSP or Ad Hoc Subscription plan is required to access the Domains export.

Visibility of features outside your plan

FractalScan Surface offers a whole range of plans to customers, meaning there’s something suitable for businesses of all sizes. As your business grows, you will want to consider whether there’s a more suitable plan available.

We now give you visibility of the features that aren’t included in your current plan, so you can make an informed choice about when’s the right time for you to upgrade.

Teasing functionality

If you’d like to discuss your upgrade options in more detail, please contact your account manager or email support@fractalscan.com.

What our customers think

"FractalScan Surface is an impressive tool that we use to monitor our external cyber risks and those of our dealers worldwide. We've even used it to perform due diligence security checks on third-party suppliers. I appreciate the easy-to-understand summary views, and my team likes that the daily scans automatically reflect their ongoing risk mitigation efforts. I'd really encourage other companies to use this tool and start tracking their cyber risks."

"FractalScan's capability to mark domains hosted on shared cloud services gives us the ability to remove risks associated with IP addresses which are not part of our infrastructure, allowing us to focus our resources. The consultancy we've had from the professional services team at Red Maple Technologies confirms the credibility and background of the team building FractalScan. I'm excited to see what's coming next for FractalScan."

"FractalScan Surface has been great for discovering our online-visible assets and exposures, allowing us to make some immediate improvements to reduce our cyber risk." Daily scanning enables us to keep on top of our external attack surface, which is particularly important to us since we have complex digital content output. FractalScan gives us the view on our data we didn't have."

"Simplicity - give it a domain and it will find out what it can about subdomains, related domains and any issues it identifies with them. We may not be privy to sites or subdomains other parts of the business may implement. FractalScan gives us a discovery tool to identify previously unknown public infrastructure, we can reduce our external attack surface by identifying and resolving issues and getting "old" public infrastructure decommissioned."

"What I appreciate the most about FractalScan is the level of accuracy this platform provides while maintaining a passive approach to data collection. As someone who works in technical sales and consulting, I have a lot of clients working with products in this space. The common problem is the overwhelming amount of results and the operational overhead required to make those results actionable. FractalScan's unique solution provides results that are immediately accurate and actionable."

"FractalScan Surface provides a compact and concise overview of vulnerabilities that have been identified on our assets. It is important for teams to be able to understand the issue, prioritise remediation activities and focus on removing vulnerabilities from our estate....this tool enables all of this and has proven to find vulnerabilities that other tools do not."

"FractalScan Surface delivers an exceptional experience, principally by enhancing our understanding of customers' digital assets. The platform's intuitive interface facilitates a user-friendly experience that our team appreciates. This, in turn, allows us to proactively identify vulnerabilities and address them before they escalate. We've found the platform to be markedly superior to its market counterparts in terms of capability and efficiency. Integration into our existing business processes was seamless, minimising any potential operational interruptions."
