Vulnerability Management

CyCognito Platform

Attacker-perspective EASM that discovers unknown assets, validates exposures, and prioritizes risk.

Attack Surface Management (ASM)Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

CyCognito Platform Overview

What it does

CyCognito Platform is an external attack surface and exposure management product that maps an organization's internet-exposed footprint the way an attacker would. Its seedless discovery engine continuously enumerates unknown and unmanaged assets across domains, IP ranges, cloud services, web applications, and APIs, including infrastructure inherited from subsidiaries and acquisitions that often falls outside the official inventory.

How it works

Once assets are discovered, the platform fingerprints their technologies, assigns business and ownership context, and runs automated security testing to validate which exposures are genuinely exploitable. By correlating exploit intelligence with active threat data, it prioritizes the small fraction of issues that present real, urgent risk rather than flooding teams with unranked findings.

Credentials and traction

SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with GDPR-aligned data processing. CyCognito is named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Attack Surface Management. Named customers include Tesco, Colgate-Palmolive, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Wipro, reflecting a focus on large enterprises and CISOs managing extensive, fast-changing external attack surfaces.

Key Capabilities

mapped to solution categories
Attack Surface Management (ASM)

Continuously enumerates internet-exposed assets (domains, IPs, subdomains, certificates, cloud storage, APIs) using passive DNS, certificate transparency logs, and active probing, including assets outside the official inventory.

Identifies cloud resources, SaaS applications, and exposed services deployed by business units without IT or security team visibility or approval.

Enumerates and monitors the attack surface of subsidiaries, acquired companies, and affiliated brands, common gap during M&A activity when new infrastructure is inherited without full visibility.

Identifies software stacks, versions, and components running on discovered assets through passive banner analysis and active probing, mapping CVE exposure without authenticated scanning.

Ranks discovered exposures by combining exploitability signals, asset business context, and active threat intelligence to produce an actionable remediation queue.

Tracks SSL/TLS certificate expirations, newly registered lookalike domains, and subdomain takeover opportunities (dangling DNS records pointing to deprovisioned cloud services).

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Continuously inventories exposures across internet-facing assets, cloud, SaaS, and identity, including shadow IT, misconfigurations, and excessive permissions beyond CVE scanning.

Confirms whether a discovered vulnerability is exploitable in the specific environment through automated exploitation testing or manual validation, distinguishing confirmed risk from theoretical risk.

Ranks exposures by combining exploitability signals with asset business criticality, so that a medium CVE on a critical customer-facing service ranks above a high CVE on an isolated dev instance.

Maps the discovered exposure inventory against active threat actor targeting and in-the-wild exploitation data to surface vulnerabilities under active attack.

Creates and tracks remediation tasks across teams and ticketing systems, measuring exposure reduction over time rather than simply listing open findings.

Generates trend reports on exposure posture (new exposure, remediated exposure, outstanding exposure by severity), in business language suitable for security program reviews.

Models how exposures chain across assets and identities to reach critical systems, mapping attack paths and blast radius to separate reachable crown-jewel risks from dead ends.

Tracks the life cycle of exposures through a centralized, aggregated view supported by automated workflows.
