YOUR CHALLENGES
Focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most to your business
The modern attack surface has expanded beyond traditional on-premises IT boundaries, with organizations operating frequently unknown numbers of external internet-facing assets that are unpatched or under protected, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attackers.
Continuous monitoring
Your in-house IT and security teams may lack the deep knowledge and experience of the exploitation landscape needed to fully understand the security posture of your attack surface.
Risk-based vulnerability prioritization
New vulnerabilities are discovered faster than you can fix them. Understanding which ones are relevant and in which order to patch them is a significant challenge.
Notification of high-risk exposures
Attackers look for weaknesses in your environment long before you know they’re there. Identifying high-risk exposures quickly is crucial.
