As your attack surface has grown to cloud infrastructures and across subsidiaries, attackers are looking for and finding unknown and unmanaged assets to serve as their entry points. More...
Visibility without control is only half the battle. To truly stay ahead of attackers, security teams need precise access, trusted data, and efficient workflows they can rely on. That’s why we’re continuing to enhance the CyCognito platform with features that improve transparency, streamline operations, and put more power in your hands.
The last month brought a range of updates to the CyCognito platform, designed to simplify operations, strengthen visibility, and support smarter and faster decisions in exposure management. Here is a quick look at what is new.
Teams Now Generally Available
Our Teams capability, which provides comprehensive role-based access control (RBAC), is now generally available across all customer realms. Realm administrators can define and manage teams, control access to specific assets and functionalities, and better align user management with your organizational structure (figure 1). If Teams was not previously configured in your realm, users will default to the root-level team with no change in access permissions. Access Teams through the setting menu in the console.

Enhanced Service Evidence for Greater Transparency
We’ve introduced a new Service Evidence Field that offers detailed detection information for services identified on your assets. This enhancement increases transparency into our detection process, allowing you to validate findings and understand how CyCognito identifies technologies in your environment. Look for this evidence in the Asset Details page under Services and Ports—where the “Raw Data” button is now renamed Evidence (figure 2).

Unified Asset Management Enhancements
We’ve enhanced our Unified Asset List capability to now include:
An “All asset types” selector for easier filtering
Advanced search pivoting between the Asset List and Issue List while retaining filters
New unified export capabilities that let you export multiple asset types in one operation
These updates make managing and analyzing your attack surface more efficient than ever (figure 3).

Quick Start Navigation
The new Quick Start button is located at the bottom of the left sidebar (marked with a rocket icon), this feature gives you one-click access to frequently used actions, helping you get started faster and navigate key platform areas with ease (figure 4).

Smarter Search Features
We’ve improved our search capabilities with:
Seamless transitions from basic to advanced CyQL queries
Automatic expansion of search results to related assets when searching for parent entities like IP ranges or domains—ensuring no asset goes unnoticed (figure 5)
New AI search capabilities that deliver powerful, accurate search across your attack surface data.
