IPs to whitelist 

In order to ensure full Autobahn experience, our customers must whitelist several IPs. If they’re not whitelisted, there’s a chance that Autobahn won’t be able to fully scan your assets, which could lead to certain issues not being discovered.

Please visit this page to see the IPs to whitelist.

Invite your team

Before starting your journey with Autobahn Security, invite your team to be part of the remediation process through the Teams function. There are three user roles available:

  • Owner

  • Admin, and

  • General user

Check out the user roles and permission page to learn the differences between each role.

Scan and find your vulnerabilities

Autobahn Security scans assets from an external (Internet-reachable) and internal (not reachable via the Internet) perspective. To scan your assets navigate to Create a Scan page and select the type of scan that you would like to run.

If your assets are not reachable via the Internet, contact our Customer Success team to get an internal probe commissioned. Then follow the installation instructions, after which you can create an internal scan.

If your assets are reachable via the internet, select external scan in the basic settings.

Once you have selected the scan scope, tweak the scan configuration and asset configuration.

Keep track of your scans' progress

After the scan is running, view its progress on the Scanning Overview page. Three different scan statuses can be seen on this page:

  • Running scans: scans that are still in progress

  • Finished scans: scans that have been finished

  • Scheduled scans: scans that will start based on a predefined schedule

After your scan is finished, you can view the Scan report to understand your issues. Each issue will be categorized based on its severity.

View the Cyber Fitness dashboard

Once your scan is finished, you can find various information related to your organization’s security posture on the Cyber Fitness Dashboard page.

These are the data points that you can highlight:

  • Your company’s current Hackability score, Hackability change (after a certain period), and a graph of Hackability score over time. The timeline can give you a glimpse of how your cyber posture is improved (or deteriorated) in the last six months

  • Summary of workouts sorted by their importance and impact on your organization’s cyber-health, so you and your team can easily prioritize workouts based on their urgency

  • Summary of most hackable hosts (or in other words, most at-risk assets) sorted by their Hackability, so you and your team can promptly secure assets based on how prone they are to attacks

  • Total number of individual issues detected in all your organization’s assets, grouped by their status and severity

You can also create customized dashboards to create separate views per subsidiary, or business unit, by selecting certain scans or assets.

Assign scans, assets, and individual issues

To keep track of your organization’s remediation process, assign your scans, assets, and individual issues to the responsible person. Assigning users will give them visibility to the data assigned (if they are general users), and so they can perform certain actions or view related data.

Assign the scan

You can assign a scan to the organization owner and admin only.

Being assigned to a scan gives you the responsibility that you own the scan. You will get e-mail updates whenever your scan has been completed. Refer to the manual guide here on assigning a scan to a user.

Assign the asset

As an admin or owner, you can assign an asset to a general user. The assignee will be added to the underlying issues detected on that asset as well as the Workouts that fix those issues.

Refer to the manual guide here on assigning an asset to a user. You can also update multiple assets at once using the bulk action feature from the Assets page. Not only the asset assignee but can also edit multiple tags and asset criticality.

Individual issue assignee

Other than assets, you can assign a general user to an individual issue so they can view more information about the issue and complete the Workout related to it. The user will only be assigned to that specific issue on that specific asset and be able to see the Workout only for them.

Refer to the manual guide here on assigning an individual issue to a user.

Remediate effectively using Cyber Fitness Workouts

Autobahn Security’s magic comes from its Cyber Fitness Workouts, which remediate multiple issues in one go.

Each Workout has been mapped based on the effort taken to remediate the issue and the impact it will have on your organization’s security posture, as measured by the reduction in your Hackability Score.

Read more about the Cyber Fitness Workout list here.

Follow the remediation steps on the Workout details page. Once the issue is remediated, mark the Workout as done to change the issue(s) status to Remediated.
