Problem
Organizations often lack comprehensive visibility into their external attack surface, making it difficult to identify and remediate potential security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Traditional security testing methods are often manual, time-consuming, and fail to keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern IT environments. This limited visibility and slow response time increases the risk of data breaches and other cyberattacks.
Solution
CyCognito's platform provides automated external attack surface management (EASM) through continuous discovery, contextualization, security testing, prioritization, and remediation acceleration. The platform uses machine learning and natural language processing to discover an organization's web-facing assets and their relationships, providing a comprehensive view of the external attack surface. It then performs active security testing to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize risks based on exploitability. Finally, the platform streamlines remediation by providing actionable guidance and integrating with existing security tools.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes security teams, CISOs, and IT professionals responsible for managing and reducing an organization's external attack surface.
