In a sit-down with Alex Schuchman, CISO of Colgate-Palmolive, he shared some reasons why they purchased the CyCognito platform. In this one of several clips, hear Alex explain how the CyCognito platform can really help open your eyes on what's in your own organization's infrastructure and how it helps Colgate-Palmolive prioritize what to remediate.
The platform provides the continuous visibility necessary to understand and truly know your attack surface, even when that attack surface grows and changes daily due to the proliferation of cloud and SaaS applications. The platform also provides the guidance needed by security operations teams to identify high risk areas, monitor threats, and secure those exposed assets.

Organizations cannot remove all of their assets from the internet, otherwise they would be unable to do business in today’s digital world. Attack surface protection delivers more than just a digital asset inventory, it ensures that an organization’s exposed and connected IT assets are known, secure, monitored for issues and defended against attacks.
A variety of sources are used, including passive DNS, Wikipedia, public financial data, whois, and certificate databases.
Attack surface protection best practice includes continuous asset discovery across the entire internet looking for new and existing internet-exposed assets that belong to your company, developing business context about how assets relate to the business, active security testing of those assets, and providing IT teams guidance to expedite remediation.
The CyCognito platform discovers and tests all assets discoverable via the internet. This process finds assets that were previously unknown, unmonitored, and exposed to attack. The platform continuously monitors and tests all assets associated with an organization. It alerts to new, existing, or recurring issues, and provides remediation guidance to fix those issues and eliminate the risk presented by that asset.
CyCognito provides our company with cutting-edge technology enabling my team to have global visibility into all our web-facing assets in an easy-to-use interface, and it does so better than other attack surface management tools we've used."
