Zafran Threat Exposure Management Platform
Exposure management that prioritizes and mitigates truly exploitable vulnerabilities
Zafran Threat Exposure Management Platform Overview
What it does
The Zafran Threat Exposure Management Platform is a Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform that ranks vulnerabilities by what is actually exploitable in a given environment rather than by raw severity score. Its distinguishing mechanism is the Exposure Graph, a model that connects assets, vulnerability findings, identity exposures, and the mitigating controls already present in an organization's security stack to determine which exposures are real and reachable.
How it works
The platform connects agentlessly through the APIs of existing scanners, cloud security, endpoint, and ticketing tools, then unifies and deduplicates their findings into a single inventory. It assesses each exposure using runtime presence, internet reachability, and active exploit intelligence to separate the theoretically vulnerable from the genuinely exploitable. Where patching is slow, a Mitigate function identifies compensating controls already deployed that can neutralize an exposure, while Agentic Remediation and RemOps consolidate overlapping fixes and route work to the right owners. Coverage spans cloud, on-premises, and application assets across more than 450 integrations.
Credentials and traction
Zafran holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certifications, along with TX-RAMP authorization, with audit reports available through its SafeBase-hosted trust center. It received an Honorable Mention in Gartner's inaugural 2025 Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms. The platform is deployed by enterprises across healthcare, financial services, technology, and manufacturing, including Summit Utilities, which credits it with reducing false criticals by more than 90 percent.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesAggregates and deduplicates findings from network scanners, endpoint agents, cloud scanners, and third-party tools into one normalized record for cross-estate risk ranking.
Incorporates asset metadata (network exposure, business criticality, data classification) into vulnerability prioritization so that a critical CVE on an isolated internal test system ranks lower than a medium CVE on an internet-facing payment server.
Assigns likelihood-of-exploitation scores using threat intelligence, vulnerability characteristics, and active exploit availability, independent of CVSS, which measures severity rather than exploitability.
Cross-references the vulnerability inventory against live threat feeds tracking CVEs under active exploitation in the wild, surfacing vulnerabilities with confirmed attacker activity.
Continuously discovers external-facing assets (domains, IPs, cloud services, APIs, certificates) including assets deployed outside the official inventory.
Scans cloud resource configurations and container image CVEs alongside traditional OS and application vulnerabilities in a unified risk view.
Recommends the minimum patch set that eliminates the highest-risk exposure (accounting for shared libraries and patch co-dependencies), rather than presenting a ranked CVE list.
Creates tickets, assigns owners, and tracks remediation progress in ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira), closing the loop between finding and fix rather than producing a static report.
Enforces remediation deadlines by severity, reports on SLA compliance, and escalates overdue findings through configured approval chains.
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.
Creates and tracks remediation tasks across teams and ticketing systems, measuring exposure reduction over time rather than simply listing open findings.
Maps the discovered exposure inventory against active threat actor targeting and in-the-wild exploitation data to surface vulnerabilities under active attack.
Tracks the life cycle of exposures through a centralized, aggregated view supported by automated workflows.
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.
Generates trend reports on exposure posture (new exposure, remediated exposure, outstanding exposure by severity), in business language suitable for security program reviews.
