A comprehensive inventory of all of your internet-exposed assets is the foundation of any security program. The CyCognito platform reveals many security unknowns by utilizing our global botnet to discover all of your assets. In fact, our customers find from 30% to 300% more assets than they knew existed before trying our platform, that’s true even for those who thought they already had complete visibility.
The CyCognito platform charts a map of your organization’s attack surface and develops an understanding of how assets connect to each other and your organization, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or are part of a partner or subsidiary’s environments. With the map, you get a clear view of every asset an attacker could reach — including the business context of what they are and how they relate to your business.
Once you know what makes up your attack surface, you need to understand what attack vectors are exposed. CyCognito automatically discovers what types of assets you have exposed and checks those assets for security gaps, such as exposed vulnerabilities, weak or default credentials, or misconfigurations. If there is something exploitable, we provide steps to fix it.
Just finding out what’s exposed doesn’t help your security team and the deluge of alerts and projects they face every day. The CyCognito platform highlights high-risk, high-impact attack vectors and prescribes actions that should be taken to reduce that risk.
Digital footprint monitoring is important because your attack surface will always be changing. From day to day, and hour-to-hour. The CyCognito platform delivers easy-to-understand scores based on the attack vectors that impact the assets, entities, and business units that are part of your digital footprint, so you can see how your security posture has improved over time.
