Cloudbase Sensor Launches Vulnerability Detection Feature for Network Devices
Cloudbase Inc. has added a vulnerability detection feature for network devices in on-premise and private cloud environments to its security platform, "Cloudbase." The new function uses the "Cloudbase Sensor" to automatically detect and visualize network devices, allowing for centralized vulnerability management alongside cloud assets. It also automatically prioritizes issues using SSVC to support efficient risk response.

Cloudbase Inc. announced the release of a vulnerability detection feature for network devices in on-premise and private cloud environments, utilizing its Cloudbase Sensor. This feature is part of the company's "Cloudbase" security platform and aligns with the capabilities of an Exposure Assessment Platform (EAP) as defined by Gartner.
The new function enables users to automatically detect network devices on the same network and centrally manage their vulnerabilities on the Cloudbase platform.
## Development Background
Network devices are critical infrastructure assets that protect an organization's network perimeter. In recent years, vulnerabilities targeting devices such as VPNs and firewalls have been continuously added to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog by the U.S. CISA, requiring prioritized countermeasures.
However, managing network devices in on-premise and private cloud environments has been a structural challenge. The complexity of device configurations often leads to increased operational load from manual inventory management and difficulties in achieving real-time visibility. Customers had also requested a unified way to manage vulnerabilities across network devices, clouds, and servers.
In response, Cloudbase enhanced the discovery command of its Cloudbase Sensor to not only detect network devices on the same network but also identify the vulnerabilities they contain.
## Update Details
Using the Cloudbase Sensor, organizations can now detect network devices within their on-premise and private cloud environments and visualize their vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are displayed on the same dashboard as those found in cloud environments and sensor hosts. The platform also automatically applies Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) to prioritize responses.
The scan targets devices with the following vendor operating systems:
- **Cisco**: IOS, IOS-XE
- **Fortinet**: FortiOS
- **Palo Alto Networks**: PAN-OS
## Expected Benefits
This feature provides an end-to-end solution, from inventory discovery to vulnerability management for network devices. By enabling integrated risk management for on-premise network devices alongside cloud environments and servers on the Cloudbase platform, it is expected to reduce dependency on individual personnel and decrease operational workload. Furthermore, leveraging SSVC for prioritization helps organizations respond to vulnerabilities efficiently based on actual risk.
