Introducing Cosmos

Outfox modern attackers with continuous penetration testing.

Cosmos proactively defends dynamic attack surfaces by combining advanced technology, automation, and expert-driven testing.

Turn the Tables on Attackers

Cosmos delivers continuous offensive security to protect dynamic attack surfaces.

Complete Visibility

Modern attack surface management

You can't secure what you don't know about. Achieve real-time visibility with continuous mapping of your entire external perimeter — including all domains, subdomains, networks, third-party infrastructure, and more.

Eliminate Noise

True exposure identification

Identify vulnerabilities targeted in real-world scenarios, including those involved in complex attack chains, with an automated engine that eliminates the noise and illuminates true exposures.

Test & Remediate

Continuous attack emulation

Leverage expert-driven continuous penetration testing and the latest offensive security tools to validate exposures and uncover post-exploitation pathways, systems, and data at risk. Then operationalize those findings to close attack windows.

We Combine the Best of Continuous Offensive Security Into a Unified Solution

How Cosmos works — and why it's different.

Continuous Attack Surface Testing at Scale

Cosmos is purpose-built to identify, validate, and enable remediation of dangerous exposures before attackers even know they exist.

Attack Surface Management

See everything, miss nothing across the attack surface

Continuously Discover Dynamic Assets.
Cosmos captures your entire external attack surface, discovering not only known targets but also those that are often out-of-scope for traditional technologies.

Automatically Map Your Entire Attack Surface — Even as It Changes.
Cosmos continuously learns about your perimeter, drawing upon public information and our own intelligence-gathering methods to generate an up-to-date map of your changing attack surface.

See Your Perimeter From an Attacker’s Perspective.
Cosmos attack surface management platform employs a domain-centric approach to asset discovery and attack surface mapping – aligned with how customers, partners, and attackers target and interact with your public facing assets.

Exposure Identification

Identify known exposures — and the sneaky ones other approaches miss

Stay on Top of Emerging Threats.
We continuously develop new exposure analyzers that identify issues being actively exploited, newly released CVEs, and traditionally less-severe vulnerabilities that are often stepping stones for sophisticated attacks.

Focus on the Five Ways Attackers Break In.
Cosmos uncovers common ways adversaries gain initial access to environments — insecure apps, misconfigurations, missing patches, bad passwords, and sensitive information disclosure.

Automatically Identify Potential Exposures.
Cosmos leverages collected intelligence and an automated exposure reconnaissance engine to identify anomalies, abnormalities, and attack surface changes that could indicate your environment is exposed to potential compromise.

Our threat and vulnerability management services eliminate noises such as false positives, incontextual issues, low severity, duplicate data to give triage leads.

Eliminate the Noise

Achieve internet scale, while eliminating the firehose of false positives

Keep Pace with Modern Security Demands.
Cosmos automates work that is traditionally time-consuming, repetitive, and manual, enabling you to achieve scalability and accuracy that outpaces the speed and sophistication of attackers.

Combine Technology with Human Expertise for Better Outcomes.
Leveraging automated processing, proprietary analyzers, and client-specific intelligence, Cosmos streamlines hand-off processes and prioritizes high-fidelity exposures for human testing.

Eliminate Noise and Burdensome False Positives.
Cosmos inspects every exposure to filter out the false positives and surface only real issues. Additionally, the platform confirms true negatives to ensure valuable resources aren't wasted addressing non-issues.

Cosmos’ cyber complex and multi-pronged attack simulation triages leads.

Continuous Attack Surface Testing

Emulate real-world attacks executed by expert testers, not automated scripts or check box approaches

Execute Real-world Attack Scenarios.
Our expert testers act just like persistent adversaries — learning about your attack surface, linking findings, and continuously hunting for new vulnerabilities.

Deploy the Same Methods and Tools Used by Attackers.
Cosmos operators use cutting-edge offensive security tools to safely execute initial exploitation and post-exploitation tactics aligned to industry standard methodologies.

Understand Post-exploitation Impact.
Cosmos enables you to gauge impact by providing visibility into how adversaries can capitalize on susceptible assets, including post-exploitation pathways, systems, and at-risk data.

Bishop Fox Cosmos (Continuous Penetration Testing) platform provides live collaboration on an encrypted slack channel around findings details, and testing of new targets.

Remediate with Expert Support

Beat attackers to their targets

Remediate Exposures Quickly with Actionable Findings.
Cosmos delivers a focused list of validated exposures with actionable guidance and impact analysis that prioritizes change requests with demonstrable vulnerability.

Extend Your Security Expertise.
With live communication over an encrypted Slack channel, operators are available to answer your questions, support further validation, and conduct testing against new targets as requested.

Confirm Your Assets Are No Longer Vulnerable.
Cosmos operators are available on-demand to validate exposures have been fully remediated and are no longer susceptible to compromise.

Get Rich Insights Into Findings.
A centralized view provides insight into what your Cosmos team is finding and analyzing in real-time, as well as attack surface data, impact analysis, remediation guidance, and a prioritized list of critical issues.
