The Engine Behind Bishop Fox Services
Our Cosmos platform is invisible to our customers, by design. But if you've ever wondered about the technology underpinning our service delivery and the Bishop Fox portal, here's a view behind the curtain.
Cosmos is Bishop Fox’s cloud-native technology platform and the foundation of our offensive security services.
Built on stateless microservices that auto scale to enterprise volumes, Cosmos continuously discovers external assets, performs protocol-level verification and evidence-first scanning, routing high-confidence findings into an expert human validation pipeline, delivering actionable, exploitable intelligence instead of scanner noise.
Validated outputs are surfaced through the Bishop Fox Portal, which turns platform intelligence into a living asset inventory, confirmed findings, indicators of exposure, and a transparent triage workflow integrated with customer ticketing and collaboration systems for efficient remediation.
Cosmos is operated and managed by Bishop Fox as part of our services; customers do not deploy or maintain the platform themselves.
PLATFORM AT A GLANCE
Cosmos builds and verifies a living inventory of an organization’s external attack surface — including domains, subdomains, cloud resources, network services, and web applications. The platform continuously evaluates the inventory as infrastructure changes due to cloud churn, growth, or M&A. Daily automations validate reachability and protocol behavior so customers see only verified, visible assets.
Cosmos captures high-quality evidence — technology fingerprints, screenshots, and service metadata — and applies telemetry-driven prioritization to surface material, exploitable risk rather than raw scanner noise. This evidence-first approach keeps validation and remediation focused on real impact.
Cosmos uses tenant- and organization-level cloud connectors to integrate directly with AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, Cloudflare, and Oracle APIs, automatically ingesting and normalizing cloud-hosted assets at scale. The platform is optimized for large, multi-account environments — particularly extensive GCP estates — ensuring continuous, accurate visibility as cloud infrastructure changes.
Cosmos integrates directly with customer workflows through Jira and ServiceNow, enabling bi-directional syncing of validated findings into existing ticketing systems. Secure in-portal file exchange and collaboration features support efficient remediation, governance, and coordination between customer teams and Bishop Fox experts.
