Continuous reconnaissance and active security testing across your full external attack surface
CyCognito automates the first phase of offensive cyber operation with deep, nation-state-grade reconnaissance and active security testing. Pen testing and red teaming staff are able to focus on meaningful activities that require human decision.
Black box penetration tests are a staple of IT security teams. Tasked with identifying flaws and weaknesses within a digital infrastructure, pen testers, and red teamers closely follow the approach of an unprivileged attacker, from reconnaissance, initial access, and even execution.
Unfortunately, the size of an organization’s external attack surface coupled with pen test cost and delivery time forces many organizations to reduce test scope to known “crown jewel” assets for quarterly or annual investigation. Long gaps between tests and low coverage result in wasted opportunity and excessive risk.
Despite the rich insight they provide, today’s rapidly changing risk landscape means a short shelf life for these point-in-time tests.
How it helps
CyCognito helps your offensive operations teams in multiple ways. Instant access to reconnaissance and black box penetration test results for all assets. A remediation planner to understand which assets to tackle first and why.
Another way is through our team feature. In CyCognito, you can create a subteam dedicated to your pen testing and red team staff. Organizations and assets can be assigned to this team and updated at your chosen frequency. This way, your offensive security teams will have a dynamic list of assets to explore manually. And because they have the context and security test results.
