We analyzed more than two million internet-exposed assets across cloud, on-prem, APIs, and web apps, discovered by our platform over the past 18 months. Using attacker-simulated testing, including black-box pentesting, dynamic application security testing (DAST), and active vulnerability scanning, we mapped how exploitable exposures cluster by industry and asset type. The results reveal systemic weaknesses in how organizations govern their digital perimeter, especially in environments shaped by rapid growth, third-party dependencies, and fragmented ownership.
CyCognito examined an anonymized set of ecommerce assets collected from November 2023 to October 2024. While there is evidence of better security practices, some basic vulnerabilities and misconfigurations persist. Retailers need to take the time to make sure their ecommerce sites are keeping valuable PII and financial information safe.
CyCognito just published our 2024 State of External Exposure Management Report. In this report, we looked at where serious issues hide on the average attack surface, how basic protections can help (or fail to) protect critical assets, and the ways that deprioritizing issues can help security teams spend their time on the right vulnerabilities.
Cyber Monday is right around the corner and millions of consumers will flock to ecommerce websites in search of the best deals. But can shoppers be assured that the sites they do business with are secure and compliant? Before and during the holiday shopping season, retailers need to ensure that ecommerce websites with missing WAFs, cryptographic vulnerabilities, or easily exploited critical issues.
Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence that generates new content –including text, images, and video – in response to user prompts. These AI models are trained on huge volumes of data and use algorithms to create content that has a similar structure to their training data
