Security teams are under constant pressure to find and fix vulnerabilities faster, but traditional approaches to security testing often create delays. In this blog, we explore why active security testing, despite its perception for being slow and resource intensive, is the key to achieving faster and more confident fixes. You will learn how accurate testing results drive smarter remediation decisions, how fully automated testing at scale overcomes common operational challenges, and why reducing your window of exposure requires moving beyond passive scanning. If your organization is struggling with long remediation cycles and hidden risks, this is the blueprint for accelerating your security outcomes.

Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) offer robust internal visibility, but they often fall short in identifying externally exposed assets and real-world vulnerabilities. This blog explores how CyCognito fills these critical gaps by bringing blackbox asset discovery and dynamic application security testing (DAST) to CNAPP workflows, in partnership with Wiz. Through seedless discovery and over 80,000 active security tests, CyCognito helps uncover hidden risks that internal tools miss, enabling DevSecOps teams to prioritize issues based on actual exploitability. The integration provides seamless data flow between platforms, delivering enriched context and actionable insights that significantly enhance cloud security posture.
