What’s New in CyCognito: August 2025 Platform Enhancements

Security teams need automation, clarity, and speed to stay ahead. This month’s updates continue to refine the CyCognito experience so you can maintain an accurate asset inventory, pivot through investigations quickly, and share the right information with stakeholders.

In the past few weeks we delivered improvements across automation (including Action Rules), APIs improvements, new investigation and management options, and reporting controls for PDFs. Below is a detailed look at what is new.

Action Rules: Automate Asset Management 

Action Rules now streamline routine asset hygiene by executing actions automatically when your conditions are met. Using Action Rules you can create custom policies that will save you time by automatically managing attribution, applying or removing tags, remove assets when predefined filters conditions and more. 

The result is an inventory that stays organized and aligned to policy with less manual effort, so your team can focus on higher-value work.

Enhanced API Capabilities

We have extended API coverage for the unified Asset List so you can query and retrieve all asset types through a single endpoint. This makes it possible to run CyQL queries across multiple asset classes and receive consolidated results in one call, simplifying orchestration in scripts and pipelines.

In addition, we also added a new endpoint that enables removal of multiple assets in one operation. Submit a bulk request with asset identifiers to accelerate inclusion and exclusion workflows during cleanups, audits, or M&A transitions. Large-scale actions become repeatable and fast.

New Investigation and Management Options

Cloud Environment Provider Filter

We have introduced a new filtering capability that allows users to filter assets by their cloud environment provider. 

The filter is available as CLOUD PROVIDER in the basic filters and as cloud_env_provider in CyQL, making it easier to manage and monitor cloud infrastructure assets. This equips users with more precise control and improves the overall cloud asset management experience.

Issue Confidence Level Enums

The Confidence level is a unique metric in our platform that measures the likelihood an issue is both real and exploitable, helping reduce false positives with over 90% accuracy. To make it even more actionable, the latest update introduces standardized enums aligned with numeric ranges:

• Confirmed (100)
• Likely (81–99)
• Potential (51–80)
• Inconclusive (30–50)

This makes triage faster and more intuitive. Confidence values now appear consistently across the platform, including issue lists and details, filters, advanced search, the API, CSV exports, and PDF reports, so prioritization stays aligned regardless of where you work.

Issue Catalog Asset Navigation

We have added clickable ‘Affected assets’ counts in the Issue Catalog that take you directly to the Issue List with the corresponding filter already applied. This lets you move from a high-level issue view to detailed analysis in a single step (less time recreating searches, more time resolving issues).

Customizable Reporting

Configurable Discovery Path in PDF Reports

You can configure exported PDF reports (issues and assets) to exclude the discovery path section when it is not relevant for the recipients. This is especially useful for organizations managing multiple unrelated entities.

Attribution Propagation Paths in PDF Reports

Exported PDF reports can now include attribution propagation paths for assets and issues, providing a clear view of how assets are attributed to your organizations.
