Modern threats demand modern solutions
60% percent of security personnel say they waste significant time chasing down false positives and vulnerabilities that pose minimal risk.
Security teams continue to be overwhelmed by a backlog of vulnerabilities and false positives. Limitations across traditional traditional threat and vulnerability management solutions combined with manual approaches often miss critical categories of exposures while producing incontextual results and time-consuming noise that increases the window of attacker opportunity. As backlogs grow and adversaries become faster and more precise, remediation timeframes are reaching dangerous levels that put organizations at increasing risk.
Find the True Exposures Faster
Forget the Firehose of False Positives
Close attack windows faster by focusing your attention on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk.
Complete exposure coverage
Adversaries know their targets. Focus on the ways they attempt to break in.
Threat and vulnerability management solutions trade the ability to discover a broader range of vulnerabilities in favor of avoiding internal disruption and enabling automation — resulting in incomplete coverage. Cosmos uncovers more exposures in a greater number of categories that real-world adversaries specifically target including:
- Exposed services
- Misconfigurations
- Vulnerable software
- Credential reuse
- Information disclosures
- Subdomain takeovers
Leave no stone unturned
Lower severity exposures can still pose significant risk. Illuminate the sneaky ones that are often overlooked.
Vulnerability management solutions focus primarily on known vulnerabilities and often discount low severity exposures based on pre-defined severity classifications. Unfortunately this can lead to a false sense of security. Cosmos not only inspects the attack surface for critical and high risk vulnerabilities but identifies those that serve as stepping stones to more complex attack chains.
Stay ahead of threats
New exploits are in constant development. Keep pace with the scale of security demands.
New exploits are emerging at a blistering pace. By the time security teams know about them, adversaries have already moved onto the next. Cosmos emerging threat process keeps discovery capabilities on the cutting-edge with new analyzers that identify actively exploited issues, newly released CVEs, and less traditionally severe vulnerabilities that are often missed by traditional threat and vulnerability management solutions.
Continuous Exposure Identification
Malicious exploitation attempts never stop. Exposure discovery processes shouldn’t either.
Adversaries thrive on the window of exploitation. While security teams sift through never-ending data, attackers are capitalizing on exposed assets with record speed and precision. Cosmos outpaces attackers to their targets leveraging an automated exposure reconnaissance engine that continuously identifies anomalies, abnormalities, and attack surface changes that could indicate your environment is exposed to potential compromise.
Focus on high-risk exposures
Eliminate resource draining false positives. Take back the time advantage.
Vulnerability management solutions produce an overwhelming number of results, redundant data, and false positives that incapacitate resource constrained security teams. Cosmos cuts through the noise by carefully inspecting every exposure, eliminating time consuming false alarms, and only surfacing real issues for testing and validation.
Key Benefits
Cosmos streamlines exposure discovery to meet the pace of modern security demands.
Gain complete exposure coverage
Identify more exposures across a greater number of categories than traditional vulnerability management tools and discovery methods.
Find issues other approaches miss
Uncover often overlooked and miscategorized exposures that are instrumental to more sophisticated attacks.
Close the window of vulnerability
Beat attackers to their targets with automated reconnaissance that uncovers exposures as soon as they exist.
Stay ahead of the latest exploits
Get in front of evolving threats with innovative detectors that identify new targets and the latest vulnerabilities used in the wild.
Put an end to resource drain
Break the cycle of overwhelming alerts and uncover only the high-risk vulnerabilities attackers target in real-world scenarios.
Operate at enterprise scale
Bridge technology and human expertise with automated processing that scales to meet the requirements of modern business demands.
Discover an Award-Winning Difference
See Why Cosmos Won SC Media’s Best Emerging Technology Award.
It didn’t take SC Media long to realize Cosmos stood out from the rest of the pack. Awarded best emerging technology, SW Labs in-depth analysis concluded that “Bishop Fox isn’t just selling an ASM product. They’re offering a continuous offensive security service — the ASM piece merely enables and feeds that service. Think of [Cosmos] as an external penetration test that never ends.”
