Overview
Publicly accessible resources refer to IT assets, such as servers, databases, or applications, that are exposed to the external network. Identifying and monitoring these resources is crucial to maintaining security and preventing unauthorized access.
Security and Resource Monitoring
To enhance security and facilitate monitoring, a visual indicator system is implemented, highlighting the status of publicly accessible resources.
Visual Indicators: Resources are categorized based on their accessibility status:
Exposed Resources: Marked in orange, these indicate instances actively utilizing public network interfaces and potentially vulnerable to external threats.
Non-Exposed Resources: Marked in grey, these indicate instances that are not exposed to public networks, minimizing security risks.
Benefits
Enhanced Security Awareness: Quickly identify resources at risk due to public exposure.
Efficient Resource Management: Enables administrators to monitor and mitigate security threats effectively.
Proactive Risk Mitigation: Helps in flagging and monitoring exposed resources for timely action.
By implementing Visual indicators, organizations can efficiently track and secure their publicly accessible resources, ensuring a more robust cybersecurity posture
