CyCognito extends CAASM with a complete view of external exposure, where more than 80% of attacks start. It discovers externally accessible assets, analyzes them from an attacker’s perspective, and feeds validated findings into existing CAASM workflows to strengthen governance, security, and compliance.
Asset inventories often stop at what teams already know. CyCognito uses seedless discovery to identify assets that sit outside CAASM visibility and maps them back to your organization, revealing exposed apps, cloud resources, shadow IT, and other “unknown unknowns”.
Add Outside-In Attack Context
Asset lists miss attack paths. Through integrations, CyCognito connects external security findings to internal systems and identities, exposing outside-in attack paths that show how attackers could move from exposure to impact.
Bring Validation Into CAASM
Signals without validation create noise. Our platform runs 90,000+ security tests to confirm exploitability and feeds those findings into CAASM, so prioritization reflects real risk, not just inventory signals or CVSS-based severity scores.
Turn Inventory Into Governance
Useful inventory drives action. Ownership and risk context are added to CAASM, enabling consistent policy management, shorter remediation cycles, and stronger governance and compliance across environments.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
CAASM platforms unify internal data sources, but they often miss external, internet-facing assets. CyCognito continuously discovers those unknown and unmanaged assets, attributes them to your organization, and sends them into your CAASM. Together, they give you one complete picture of your internal and external attack surface.
Yes. CyCognito highlights the external entry points attackers are most likely to use and shows how those exposures chain together into viable attack paths toward critical systems, identities, and data. It adds context like impact and ease of exploitation, then feeds this into your CAASM so you see which issues matter most, why they’re risky, and where to focus first.
CyCognito integrates natively with most leading CAASM solutions . These integrations push external assets, validated findings, business context, and risk scoring directly into your CAASM so teams can keep using existing dashboards, queries, and workflows without changing how they work.
CyCognito is a zero-effort setup that connects with CAASM solutions through standard APIs, so integration is straightforward and does not require complex configuration. Once integrated, it automatically enriches your asset inventory with external visibility and risk context.
