Problem
Organizations face challenges in effectively managing their cyber risk due to the increasing complexity of IT environments and the rapid evolution of cyber threats. Traditional security measures often fail to provide real-time insights into exploitable vulnerabilities and potential attack paths, leading to inefficient remediation efforts and a weakened security posture.
