Balbix announced the
launch of Balbix D3, the latest version of its industry-leading exposure
management platform. Packed with cutting-edge AI innovations, Balbix D3 is
designed to help cybersecurity teams mitigate critical exposures faster than
ever before, protecting organizations against emerging threats before attackers
can exploit them.
AI-powered Workflows to Speed up Risk Burndown
At the core of Balbix D3 lies a deep focus on mobilizing
organizations for rapid cyber risk reduction. Using AI, Balbix D3 enables
security and IT teams to take immediate (and automated) action based on
insights surfaced by Balbix's risk assessment engine. This allows teams to
resolve critical risks before they can be exploited, shifting from traditional,
reactive vulnerability management to continuous and proactive exposure
management.
"Time is of the essence when it comes to addressing
vulnerabilities," said Gaurav Banga, CEO and Founder of Balbix. "Balbix D3
empowers security teams with the tools they need to move quickly- prioritizing
what matters most and taking effective action to protect their organizations
against a rapidly evolving threat landscape."
Unified Exposure Risk Scoring Across the Ecosystem
In an industry-first innovation, Balbix D3 introduces a
unified risk score for both CVEs and non-CVEs, enabling organizations to
prioritize exposures across their infrastructure, applications, and user
environments using a consistent risk-based framework. This scoring system
leverages groundbreaking research by Balbix's AI team, which maps
vulnerabilities against MITRE ATT&CK TTPs and cross-references them
with security controls effectiveness against these TTPs, to determine mitigated
risk. Early customer deployments have shown that this novel approach can reduce
IT workloads related to patching and remediation by 30-50%.
Intelligent Remediation with Shapley-Based Prioritization
Balbix D3 leverages Shapley econometric modeling,
prioritizing next-best actions based on their potential impact on overall risk
reduction. Unlike traditional tools that simply generate lengthy lists of CVEs,
Balbix generates actionable projects, organizes them into tickets, assigns
owners, and manages each step like a sprint in Agile parlance. This approach
ensures swift, coordinated, and measurable remediation.
BIX: Conversational AI to Accelerate Security Operations
Earlier this year, Balbix introduced BIX, a conversational
AI assistant that brings unprecedented simplicity to cybersecurity workflows.
With Balbix D3, BIX has become even more powerful, allowing security leaders to
query, plan, and operationalize remediation initiatives using natural language.
BIX delivers real-time progress updates on ongoing projects and assists in
creating fully detailed remediation plans, making Balbix a true AI-powered
partner in securing the enterprise.
Breaking Down Silos with End-to-End Exposure Assessment
Balbix D3 also makes major strides in unifying exposure
assessments across an organization's entire technology stack. The platform
seamlessly integrates with all major AppSec tools, BAS tools and pen test
findings, ensuring that application risks can be assessed alongside
infrastructure vulnerabilities for a comprehensive view of the organization's
attack surface. Now organizations can secure every layer of their technology
stack from infrastructure to custom applications.
Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity
Balbix has long been recognized as a leader in exposure
assessment, including being highlighted by Gartner as a
representative vendor in the Exposure Assessment Platforms (EAP) category.
The latest release of Balbix D3 solidifies this position by providing
cybersecurity teams with the capabilities they need to move from insight to
action more quickly and effectively, reducing risk with unprecedented speed.
