Why CyCognito?

Go ahead and compare. Only CyCognito automates the deep discovery and detailed testing modern security teams need.

Product Advantages

Not all EASM is created equal.
CyCognito does what other solutions can’t.

Organization Mapping

Don’t just see your assets — know who’s responsible for them

Organizations are unaware of 10-30% of their subsidiaries, leaving substantial portions of the attack surface in the dark. CyCognito starts by mapping your organization and continuously updates it as your business changes.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Fails to look at the organization’s business structure or map the attack surface, leaving you to try to map things manually Uses natural language processing, machine learning, and a graph data model to automatically map the organization, identify subsidiaries, and ensure discovery of forgotten and under-managed internet-exposed attack vectors
Requires pre-knowledge of IP-address ranges, missing assets that create significant risks Goes beyond owned environments, covering traditional data centers, SaaS, IaaS, partners, brands, acquired companies, joint ventures, and cloud environments
Can’t show risk on the subsidiary or regional level and fails to identify critical areas for security investment and improvement Identifies underperforming subsidiaries and creates a plan to improve their security posture

Learn more about monitoring organization mapping.

Zero-Input Discovery

Get a true attacker’s perspective.

Your attack surface fluctuates constantly, growing and shrinking by up to 10% monthly. Stay on top of changes with CyCognito’s continuous monitoring – no management required.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Requires lists of known assets and extensive manual work, missing hidden assets and key risks Zero-input, zero-seeds, zero configuration, and zero onboarding
Leaves attack surface out of date and incomplete without costly and time-consuming manual updates Uses OSINT-based reconnaissance techniques to attribute and contextualize the entire attack surface and identify unknown unknowns

Learn more about CyCognito’s approach to discovery.

Automated Unauthenticated Security Testing

High confidence testing of all assets.

Actively and non-intrusively test for tens of thousands of issues across 35+ testing categories with CyCognito.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Relies solely on passive scanning technologies that fail to accurately identify issues, requiring your team to verify findings Leverages tens of thousands of active and passive tests, identifying actual risks to your attack surface with high confidence and fidelity
Misses important risks that require active interaction with a system, like use of default credentials and sensitive data exposure Covers key risk areas like the OWASP Top 10 for web apps, identification of weak credentials, exploitable vulnerabilities, security controls, and data exposure
Lacks dynamic application security testing (DAST) Identifies key risks affecting web applications using DAST

Security Controls Testing

Find critical gaps in protection fast.

CyCognito’s testing tools rigorously assess the state of your security infrastructure.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Tests only a fraction of your assets a fraction of the time Continuously uncovers and evaluates the gaps in the security controls across 100% of your exposed assets
Does not identify Zero Trust gaps, authentication issues, or injection vulnerabilities Finds critical gaps like missing Zero Trust protections, exposed data, lack of SSO/CAPTCHA, lack of cookie consent, authentication issues, injection vulnerabilities, and more
Lacks organization mapping and subsidiary discovery, making it impossible to compare coverage and implementation across business units Compares coverage and implementation across business units, flagging assets that lack important protections like web application firewalls (WAFs)

Learn more about how to assess security controls.

Risk-based Issue Prioritization

Focus on the top issues that put your organization at risk

Hundreds of contextual data points gathered through the CyCognito discovery and testing phases are combined to prioritize issues based on your business context.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Primarily relies on CVSS or EPSS to prioritize issues Goes beyond CVSS and EPSS with unique risk-based prioritization analysis
Doesn’t incorporate business impact or context Incorporates factors like tactical threat intelligence, asset discoverability, asset attractiveness, exploitability, business impact, and remediation complexity
Flags over 3% of issues as critical, leaving your security teams chasing after low-risk issues and delaying mean time to remediation for critical vulnerabilities Flags less than 0.1% of issues as critical, focusing your remediation efforts on the issues that matter most

Remediation Validation

Minimize errors, maximize efficiency.

Simplify your remediation workflow with automatic and on-demand remediation validation and improve mean time to remediate (MTTR) by as much as 88%.

Other EASM
CyCognito
Requires manual validation to identify failed remediation attempts Reduces time to remediation with step-by-step remediation guidance, while automatic remediation validation checks for misconfigurations or errors
Lacks innovative tools and workflows Boosts credibility with verifiable evidence of every risk and documented ownership for every asset, and equip your red team or pen-testers with exploitation and validation tools

Learn how to accelerate your MTTR.
