Overview

Titania is uniquely positioned to help organisations move beyond perimeter-only defences, specialising in router, switch and firewall security for the entire network. Nipper Enterprise has been designed to assure continuous network security and compliance in real-time by automating an inside-out view of the network, and delivers fast, accurate visibility of configuration posture at scale, in accordance with vendor device-hardening best practices, Zero Trust segmentation, and control and risk management frameworks.

Network owners can use Nipper Enterprise to increase the coverage and cadence of assessments and gain immediate awareness of any device configuration changes, evidence continuous compliance with military and industry regulations, and minimize their attack surface via MITRE ATT&CK® misconfiguration prioritization.

Nipper Enterprise automatically prioritizes findings by security and/or compliance risk and provides remediation advice, by risk to shut down attack vectors, and device specific guidance on how to fix misconfigurations, decreasing remediation time.

This unique approach to risk-based vulnerability management also means that Nipper Enterprise reports provide the evidence needed to assure compliance with security controls and risk management frameworks including DISA RMF, NIST SP 800-53/171, STIG, CMMC and PCI DSS 4.0. Recent editions of these mandated data security standards have also seen a shift towards a zero trust approach to network security. Annual and sampled vulnerability assessments are no longer fit for purpose, and RMFs advocate for continuous vulnerability monitoring – because devices that were deemed secure yesterday, might not be today.

Nipper Enterprise meets this demand as it has been scaled for the entire enterprise to deliver continuous misconfiguration and vulnerability detection and risk-prioritized remediation across every router, switch and firewall in the network on an up-to-hourly basis or as configurations change.

Key Capabilities / Features

Nipper Enterprise has been developed with the purpose of strengthening entire networks from the inside-out, minimizing network infrastructure attack surface with continuous monitoring of router, switch and firewall configurations against security controls and risk management frameworks, highlighting any deviations that could pose a risk to the network and be non-compliant with industry standards and regulatory requirements, which includes DISA RMF, NIST SP 800-53/171, STIG, CMMC and PCI DSS 4.0.


As mandated data security standards have shifted towards a zero trust approach to network security, Nipper Enterprise takes a proactive approach and offers continuous security capabilities to monitor changes in the network environment, to detect newly introduced vulnerabilities promptly. The enterprise platform provides SOCs and NOCs with the ability to proactively assess configuration changes between audits, providing additional layers of risk-based vulnerability analysis that highlight indicators of compromise, determine exposure to real-world threats (through MITRE ATT&CK dashboards) and guide threat hunting teams with historic security posture that informs incident response.


This proactive monitoring approach by Nipper Enterprise enables detailed security and compliance reports to be generated which provide actionable insights and recommendations for remediation. These reports categorize vulnerabilities based on their risk and potential impact on the network and provide mitigating advice and exact technical fixes for each vulnerability and misconfiguration. This allows security teams to prioritize remediation efforts efficiently, focusing on the most critical issues first.


This unique approach to risk-based vulnerability management also means that Nipper reports provide the evidence needed to assure compliance with security controls and risk management frameworks. As Omdia notes "Titania will be relevant for a very long time. Its ability to work in tandem with the “outside in” technology of mainstream vulnerability management vendors and focus on network elements give it a compelling differentiation in the market."


How we are different

1. Nipper Enterprise specializes in continuously monitoring complex network devices - routers, switches and firewalls – for the entire network, immediately differentiating from endpoint vulnerability assessment vendors. Nipper Enterprise also out-competes firewall-only vulnerability assessment vendors, with its ability to accurately automate the vulnerability analysis of routers and switches, in seconds, on a regular basis. Designed to assure continuous network security and compliance, in accordance with vendor device-hardening best practices, Zero Trust segmentation, and control and risk management frameworks - Nipper Enterprise delivers fast, accurate visibility of device configuration posture at scale.


2. Nipper Enterprise can detect configuration drift, so customers will gain immediate awareness of any device configuration changes, providing assurance that planned network changes have not created new vulnerabilities as well as alerting to unplanned changes (indicators of compromise).


3. In a recent independent study commissioned by Titania, 70% of respondents reported that their organization faces difficulties prioritizing remediation based on risk. Nipper Enterprise provides a comprehensive view of prioritized network risk, which considers the impact to the entire network if a misconfiguration is exploited, as well as the ease of exploitation, for an informed view of network risk. The solution helps customers reduce MTTD vulnerabilities, as well as MTTR, in order to reduce their exposure to critical risks.
