PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA\u2014MARCH 16, 2022\u2014<\/strong><\/span>CyCognito <\/span><\/a>today announced the addition of \u2018Exploit Intelligence\u2019 to its suite of External Surface Attack Management solutions. Exploit Intelligence offers an end-to-end solution that prioritizes which risks to remediate immediately\u2014before they are exploited\u2014by proactively discovering external assets, testing vulnerabilities, and providing expert threat- and risk-based insight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Developed to help security teams focus on the most critical risks first, Exploit Intelligence creates in-platform Advisories about threats being exploited in-the-wild and aligns them with risks in the organization\u2019s external attack surface. The platform also automates pen testing and red teaming processes including reconnaissance, security testing at-scale, exploit analysis to determine how safe exploits are to use. It then provides guidance on how to actually use exploits\u2014so that security experts can work more effectively and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExternal attack surface management provides an outside-in perspective that helps organizations see themselves as an attacker would. Adding a layer of threat intelligence\u2014information about what attackers are actually doing\u2014helps sharpen that point of view,\u201d said Jon Oltsik, ESG Senior Principal Analyst and ESG Fellow. \u201cWhen you know what attackers are doing in the wild, how they see your organization, and where you are vulnerable to their latest actions, it enables you to focus and accelerate remediation on high-risk priorities that must be addressed quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent Log4j vulnerability proved that most security teams lack the insight to understand how they are being impacted, what issues to prioritize and what steps to take to neutralize potential threats,” said Rob Gurzeev, CEO and co-founder, CyCognito. \u201cThat\u2019s because there\u2019s a critical gap in vulnerability management: tying internet-exposed vulnerabilities with in-the-wild attacker activity. Exploit Intelligence provides the level of visibility, testing capabilities and expert guidance so security teams canquicklyfind and prioritize issues before a threat becomes a serious breach. Many of our customers, like Tesco, are already seeing benefits from Exploit Intelligence, which helps them prioritize exploitable attack surface issues in the right order.\u201d <\/p>\n
