PROACTIVELY ADDRESS TOMORROW’S THREATS TODAY
Stay ahead of rapidly evolving attacker techniques with Bishop Fox’s Emerging Threat Service, designed to validate, prioritize, and help you remediate new and rapidly evolving risks to your attack surface.
CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, AND ACTION AGAINST NEW RISKS
The threat landscape never stands still. Attackers continually develop new exploits, techniques, and zero-day vulnerabilities, often faster than organizations can adapt. Security teams are inundated with threat intelligence and advisories, but only a fraction of newly reported vulnerabilities pose a real risk to your business.
At the same time, expanding attack surfaces, complex hybrid environments, and limited resources make it challenging to validate and act on every new risk. Without the right support, many organizations find themselves reacting to the latest headline instead of proactively staying ahead.
Bishop Fox bridges the gap between awareness and action. Our Threat Enablement & Analysis team actively identifies and validates the latest vulnerabilities against your environment, cutting through the noise to pinpoint the threats that truly matter. We don’t just tell you what’s out there—we show you how it applies to your attack surface and provide clear, prioritized remediation guidance.
With the Bishop Fox portal, you get on-demand visibility into the latest threats, investigation status updates, and details on your impacted services so you can update your organization and take action quickly. Importantly, you'll also know when we've determined that your attack surface is not impacted as well, saving you time and resources and giving you peace of mind.
STAY READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT
We continuously monitor and collect intelligence from proprietary research, OSINT, industry feeds, and public sources (e.g., CVE databases and government advisories) for new vulnerabilities, exposures, and TTPs.
Once a potential threat is identified, experts from our Threat Enablement & Analysis team assess its credibility, severity, likely impact, affected target volume, and PoC availability. When the threat meets our established qualification benchmarks—such as affecting widely used enterprise software, impacting security-critical systems, or being easily exploitable—the Emerging Threat Process activates.
For qualifying events, we send an initial notice as soon as we begin investigation. Communication is pushed out to the Bishop Fox Portal and encrypted Slack channel, so your team stays informed from the start.
The initial alert includes a brief summary of the threat and target technology, our next steps, and recommended client action. We provide consistent updates throughout the investigation so you're always in the know.
We immediately deploy scanning engines to detect indicators of vulnerability with real-world reach and impact. These analyzer hits produce leads that are manually reviewed to confirm validity, accessibility, and scope. We ensure assets are in-scope and exposed before escalating. Where warranted, Bishop Fox operators execute controlled tests (including PoC-based methods) to confirm risk, measure blast radius, and determine real-world exploitability.
We provide frequent communications until resolution. Once complete, you receive a concise final report with detailed remediation guidance—or an all-clear if you’re not exposed.
