2025: iTPROTECT Scout Presentation

iTPROTECT, a specialized system integrator in the field of information security (IS), introduced the iTPROTECT Scout cloud service on September 19, 2025. The tool provides a continuous assessment of external assets "through the eyes of a hacker," identifies business-critical vulnerabilities of the external perimeter and gives clear recommendations for their elimination.

One of the difficulties in information security is the inconsistency of the external IT perimeter of companies due to the emergence of new resources, domains, IP addresses or changes in old assets. All this can contain vulnerabilities that sooner or later will be exploited by attackers.

iTPROTECT Scout is a continuous security check service for the external IT circuit. It is based on 3 functional units:

• Automated Attack surface management (ASM).
• Verification of identified vulnerabilities, including pentest of the most critical (CPT, Continuous Penetration Testing) to check the reality of exploitation by a hacker.
• Support for experts who make recommendations for troubleshooting problems.

The most serious cyber attacks have been developing for a long time. Attackers penetrate the infrastructure unnoticed, carefully examine it to find all sensitive assets. iTPROTECT Scout helps detect external vulnerabilities that can become a vector of cyber attack. We have created a service that continuously scans the external perimeter and reproduces the actions of a hacker, except for gaining direct access to services. And the customer receives ready-made reports without the need to spend resources on configuring systems, cleaning data from unnecessary "noise" and prioritizing problems, "said Maxim Golovlev, Managing Director of iTPROTECT.

iTPROTECT Scout finds externally accessible blind spots in the infrastructure (unaccounted for or temporary IT assets, forgotten domains and subdomains, IP addresses, open ports), credential leaks on the dark and deep web, and phishing resources associated with the organization. At the next stage, the found assets are checked for vulnerabilities using automation and manual verification, after which the risks are prioritized according to the criticality of the consequences. The end result is regular reports of two types with recommendations for correcting problems: top-level for management and practically focused on technical specialists.

Practice shows that such tools very quickly bring effect. In just 1 day, our experts assess the situation on the external perimeter: which corporate assets are visible from outside the company, what vulnerabilities they contain, what data leaks have already occurred. We have provided the opportunity for a free pilot that will allow such an initial assessment, "said Kai Mikhailov, head of information security at iTPROTECT.

A ready-to-use service does not require regular work with the management console. All key settings for the customer have already been made in the personal account and are controlled by iTPROTECT specialists. All settings and checks are carried out by pentesters with a wealth of practical experience, which use the same approaches as hackers.

Service user companies can identify the entire set of existing vulnerabilities, plan their elimination based on what security gaps attackers can actually use. Employees of IT and information security departments get a convenient tool for configuring external IT components taking into account security policies. In addition, identifying weak areas in the infrastructure provides objective data for planning investments in information security and justifying the budget before management.
