Taking the Attacker’s View

CyCognito empowers companies to take full control over their attack surface by taking the attacker’s view to uncover and fix critical security risks.

Our Mission

To be the foremost vendor in the emerging category of Exposure Management.

The world needs solutions that autonomously discover, test, and prioritize each organization’s security risks based upon a global analysis of all external attack surfaces that a real attacker would likely exploit.

The digital assets of organizations have continued to grow. Managing the sprawl of networks, web applications, cloud applications and APIs is a gargantuan task most security teams are not equipped to handle. CyCognito’s global cloud network has the scale to handle the job.

Doing things the old way isn’t working. Looking up lists of vulnerabilities leads to piles of false positives and frustrated IT teams. CyCognito takes the attacker’s view, simulating real attacks, and reporting only the most urgent of issues.

"Attackers always look for an organization's path of least resistance. Most often this is through unknown or unmanaged assets, because legacy tools completely miss them.

"Our journey began with a question: What if we could simulate an attacker's reconnaissance plan, starting only with a target company’s name?”
