virus_total Virus Total protect significant T1566 Phishing
Comments
VirusTotal, now part of Google Cloud, provides threat context and reputation data to help analyze suspicious files, URLs, domains, and IP addresses to detect cybersecurity threats. This control can help mitigate adversaries that try to send malware via emails using malicious links or attachments. The malware-scanner service scans the uploaded document for malware. If the document is infected, the service moves it to a quarantined bucket; otherwise the document is moved into another bucket that holds uninfected scanned documents.

Comments
Actifio is a copy data management plaform that virtualizes application data to improve an organizations resiliency and cloud mobility.

actifio_go Actifio Go protect minimal T1040 Network Sniffing
Comments
Actifio provides encryption in transit for data traveling between Actifio appliances, Actifio and VMware environments, and for data traversing the control channel utilizing the Actifio connector. This provides significant protection against Network Sniffing since adversaries would be unable to read encrypted traffic. However, Actifio only encrypts data in transit that interacts with Actifio components, rather than all traffic for a system. This is also only relevant when traffic is being backed up, which is a small amount of the time. In this case, it has been given a rating of Minimal.

Comments
Actifio Sky can be configured with optional storage pool encryption. Administrative end-user credentials are hashed with a strong one-way salted SHA256 hash in the appliance database. Credentials used by the appliance to access other systems (vCenters, databases,) are stored in an AES256 encrypted form. This provides significant protection against adversaries searching compromised Actifio systems for insecurely stored credentials. However, this does not provide protection for other credentials stored on non-Actifio components. This has resulted in a score of partial.

recaptcha_enterprise ReCAPTCHA Enterprise protect partial T1078.004 Cloud Accounts
Comments
ReCAPTCHA Enterprise allows users to configure Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to verify user's identity by sending a verification code by email or SMS (known as an MFA challenge). When ReCAPTCHA Enterprise assesses that user activity to exceeds a predetermined threshold (by the developer), it can trigger an MFA challenge to verify the user. This increases the likelihood that a compromised account will be prevented from impacting the system. Since ReCAPTCHA Enterprise does not require a MFA challenge for all user activity, it has been given a rating of Partial.

Comments
Password Checkup extension for Chrome displays a warning whenever a user signs in to a site using one of over 4 billion usernames and passwords that Google knows to be unsafe due to a third-party data breach. With reCAPTCHA Enterprise, you can identify credential stuffing attacks by utilizing Password Checkup to detect password leaks and breached credentials. Developers can factor this information into their score calculation for score-based site keys to help identify suspicious activity and take appropriate action.
