CISA’s proactive approach to cybersecurity is highlighted, focusing on two directives: BOD 22-01, which mandates agencies to consult the “Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog,” and BOD 23-01, aimed at improving agency asset visibility and vulnerability detection. These directives emphasize asset discovery and vulnerability enumeration as crucial activities for risk reduction. CyCognito’s platform aligns with these directives by automating discovery, contextualizing assets, and prioritizing vulnerabilities based on attacker perspective, enabling organizations to efficiently close gaps in their attack surface management.

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a risk reduction strategy introduced by Gartner in 2021. Designed to significantly reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR), it relies on coordination of people, processes and technology. Choosing the right CTEM technology is critical to efficient implementation.
Read more about Continuous Threat Exposure Management – Your Path to Reduced External Cyber Security RiskMany organizations see the value of active testing across their external attack surface but don’t have the resources to execute it. CyCognito solves five key challenges for organizations looking to reduce external attack surface risk and lower their mean time to remediation (MTTR).

Vulnerability prioritization is the process of identifying and ranking vulnerabilities in order to focus efforts on the most important vulnerabilities.
Read more about Vulnerability Prioritization: What to ConsiderVulnerability remediation is the process of identifying and neutralizing security issues affecting cyber assets. Because these issues can cause millions of dollars in lost revenue, remediation costs, or fines if they result in a data breach or damage to cyber-infrastructure, vulnerability remediation is one of the most important parts of cybersecurity.
