ThreatNG for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs)
Secure the "Invisible" Attack Surface: The Zero-Touch Growth Engine for High-Velocity MSSPs
Your SOC is overwhelmed by noise while the true threats, such as leaked API keys, rogue cloud buckets, and ghost subdomains, completely bypass your firewalls. By 2025, managing the internal perimeter alone will no longer suffice; to safeguard your clients and protect your margins, you need to secure the digital sprawl beyond the network. ThreatNG is the only External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform built to help MSSPs see what the adversary sees. We automate the discovery of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and Shadow IT without a single agent, allowing you to validate risk instantly and turn "unmanaged chaos" into your most profitable new service line without burning out your analysts.
Win Deals in 10 Minutes with "Shock & Awe" Audits
The Problem: Trying to sell cybersecurity based on "trust" and "prevention" leads to long sales cycles and price haggling.
The ThreatNG Solution: Stop pitching and start proving. ThreatNG enables your sales team to conduct a legal, non-intrusive external risk assessment of a prospect before the first handshake. Walk into your meeting not with a brochure, but with a "Proof of Exposure" report showing their live leaked credentials, claimable subdomains, and exposed development environments.
The Outcome: You shift the dynamic from a vendor asking for budget to a trusted partner delivering a rescue mission. You close deals faster by triggering immediate loss aversion by showing them they are already leaking data.
Silence the Noise with "Zero False Positive" Validation
The Problem: Your margins are being eaten alive by alert fatigue. Every hour your Level 2 analysts spend investigating a "potential" vulnerability that turns out to be a false positive is a direct hit to your profitability.
The ThreatNG Solution: We don't just dump data; we validate reality. ThreatNG’s Context Engine™ cross-references findings against real-world exploitability criteria. For example, we don't just tell you a DNS record is dangling; we check the specific cloud provider to confirm the resource is unclaimed and actually vulnerable to Subdomain Takeover.
The Outcome: You receive actionable tickets, not raw noise. This protects your analysts from burnout and ensures your team spends billable hours fixing real problems rather than chasing ghosts.
Secure the "Invisible Employee" (Non-Human Identities)
The Problem: You have secured every human user with MFA, but your clients have thousands of Non-Human Identities, including API keys, bots, and service accounts that operate around the clock with Super Admin privileges and no oversight.
The ThreatNG Solution: Attackers are bypassing your EDR and Firewalls by scraping public code repositories for these keys. ThreatNG provides continuous Sensitive Code Exposure monitoring to detect leaked secrets, hardcoded API keys, and exposed .git directories in the public wild.
The Outcome: You close the massive "Outside-In Visibility Gap" that leads to supply chain breaches. You protect your clients from the #1 threat vector of 2026 while satisfying new DORA and SEC requirements for third-party risk management.
What is MSSP-Grade External Attack Surface Management (EASM)?
MSSP-Grade EASM is a specialized cybersecurity discipline that focuses on discovering, analyzing, and securing internet-facing assets, such as subdomains, cloud buckets, API keys, and Shadow IT, specifically designed for multi-tenant Managed Security Service Provider environments. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that require internal agents, MSSP-Grade EASM operates using "Outside-In" reconnaissance, mimicking the tactics of an adversary to find exposures without requiring client credentials or installation. This capability is essential for MSSPs to reduce supply chain risk, manage Non-Human Identity (NHI) exposure, and ensure compliance with regulations like DORA and NIS2.
Frequently Asked Questions (General)
-
ThreatNG increases profitability by automating the pre-sales engineering process (reducing customer acquisition costs) and by validating alerts before they reach the SOC (reducing operational costs/analyst burnout). It also enables MSSPs to sell new, high-margin services like "Digital Risk Protection" and "Supply Chain Monitoring" without increasing headcount.
-
Yes. ThreatNG specializes in detecting Shadow IT and Zombie Assets, such as forgotten marketing landing pages or development servers, by scanning the entire IPv4/IPv6 space, certificate transparency logs, and code repositories. This allows MSSPs to manage unmanaged assets, reducing liability and increasing billable opportunities.
-
Industry data suggests Non-Human Identities (NHIs) (like API keys and service tokens) outnumber human employees by 50:1. Because NHIs cannot use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), they are a primary target for attackers. ThreatNG monitors public code repositories to detect if these keys are leaked, preventing attackers from bypassing traditional perimeter defenses.
The 2026 MSSP Growth & Risk FAQ: Operationalizing External Intelligence
Part 1: The Business Case (Profitability & Growth)
-
The biggest barrier to offering premium digital risk services has historically been labor costs. Traditional threat intelligence requires expensive Level 3 analysts to sift through data. ThreatNG solves this by automating the reconnaissance phase. It performs purely external, agentless discovery of leaked credentials, dark web mentions, and open ports, delivering "validated" findings rather than raw noise. This allows your existing Level 1 analysts (or even automated reporting tools) to deliver a high-margin "Brand Protection" or "External Risk Monitoring" service without increasing headcount.
-
New regulations like DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) and the SEC’s cybersecurity disclosure rules explicitly require organizations to manage supply chain and third-party risks. Traditional "Inside-Out" tools (like RMM or EDR) only see managed assets. They cannot see the "Shadow IT" server a marketing vendor spun up, or the code repository a developer left public. ThreatNG provides the "Adversary’s View," auditing the entire digital supply chain and external footprint. This creates the audit trail required by regulators to demonstrate that you are monitoring not just the network but the entire digital ecosystem.
-
Stop pitching "prevention" and start demonstrating "exposure." Use ThreatNG to generate a "Shock & Awe" Audit Report for your prospects before the first meeting. Instead of asking them what they have, show them what they are leaking.
Example: "Mr. Prospect, before our call, our system flagged that your dev.company.com subdomain is pointing to a cancelled Azure service, making it vulnerable to immediate takeover. We can fix that for you today." This shifts the conversation from "why should I pay you?" to "how fast can you start?"
Part 2: The "Invisible" Threat (Non-Human Identities)
-
Non-Human Identities are the digital keys used by machines to talk to other machines—API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, and bots. The Problem: Industry data suggests NHIs now outnumber human employees by 50:1. Unlike humans, these "employees" work 24/7, often have Super Admin privileges, and cannot use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). If an attacker steals an API key, they bypass your firewall and MFA completely. The Solution: ThreatNG specifically scans public code repositories and client-side applications to detect these "leaked skeleton keys" before attackers can use them.
-
Attackers don't need to breach your network to find keys; they just need to read your code. The "3D Model" of Leaks:
The Mistake: A developer accidentally hardcodes an AWS key into a script to hit a deadline.
The Leak: They push that script to a public GitHub repository or a personal project.
The Exploit: Automated bots constantly scrape GitHub. They find the key within minutes and use it to spin up crypto-miners or steal data. ThreatNG monitors external repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) associated with your client's domain to detect leaks in real time.
Part 3: Operational Efficiency (Stopping Alert Fatigue)
-
Standard scanners are "Inside-Out"—they require credentials and find missing patches on known servers. ThreatNG is "Outside-In"—it requires zero credentials and finds the assets you didn't know existed (Shadow IT). Furthermore, ThreatNG focuses on "Zero False Positive" validation.
Standard Scanner: "This DNS record looks weird. It might be a risk." (Creates manual work).
ThreatNG: "We found a dangling DNS record, check the cloud provider, confirmed the bucket is unclaimed, and validated that it can be hijacked." (Creates an actionable ticket).
-
A Subdomain Takeover occurs when a company creates a DNS record (like promo.company.com) pointing to a third-party service (like Heroku or Shopify) but then cancels the service without deleting the DNS record. The Risk: An attacker can claim that expired service name. Now, promo.company.com serves the attacker's phishing site. Why WAFs Fail: Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) protect your servers. In a takeover, the traffic goes to the attacker's server (hosted on Heroku/Shopify), completely bypassing your WAF. ThreatNG is the only scalable way to detect this "dangling DNS" risk across thousands of domains.
Part 4: Technical Capabilities & Deployment
-
No. ThreatNG is 100% agentless and non-intrusive. It operates exactly like a sophisticated adversary, gathering intelligence from the public internet (OSINT). This means:
Zero deployment time: You can onboard a new client in seconds just by entering their domain.
No friction: No need to ask client IT for passwords or firewall changes.
Total stealth: You can assess potential acquisitions or competitors without them knowing.
-
Yes. Modern breaches often come through vendors (e.g., the MOVEit or SolarWinds attacks). ThreatNG identifies the "Digital Exhaust" of your supply chain.
It detects if your client’s developers are using personal email addresses for corporate code commits.
It identifies exposed S3 buckets owned by marketing agencies that contain your client's data.
It maps the external security posture of key vendors to warn you if their negligence poses a risk to you.
-
Ransomware groups rarely "hack" in; they log in using stolen credentials or exposed RDP ports. ThreatNG creates a "Breach & Ransomware Susceptibility" score by monitoring the exact vectors ransomware groups use:
Exposed RDP/SSH Ports: Identifying open doors that should be closed.
Compromised Credentials: alerting you to employee passwords sold on the Dark Web.
Leaked VPN Configs: Finding VPN profiles exposed in code repositories. By closing these three doors, you statistically remove the majority of ransomware entry points.
