The blacklens.io integration allows you to monitor alerts. blacklens.io is a comprehensive Attack Surface Management platform that helps businesses understand and secure their external attack surface. By combining automated security analysis, continuous monitoring, and penetration testing, it identifies and addresses vulnerabilities early. With features like Darknet Monitoring, Vulnerability Scanning, and XDR Response, blacklens.io provides a proactive defense strategy to protect companies from cyber threats while offering a clear view of their security posture at all times.
Use the blacklens.io integration to fetch all related alerts about your Attack Surface. Then visualize that data in Kibana and create further alerts or enrich the data with other security solutions.
