Check Point Software Technologies has emerged as a leading player in Attack Surface Management (ASM) with its acquisition of Cyberint, as highlighted in the recent GigaOm Radar report.
Cyberint, recognised as a top performer in the Maturity/Platform Play quadrant, now brings its ASM expertise to Check Point’s External Risk Management solution. This combination of automated asset discovery and continuous risk monitoring with advanced threat intelligence provides customers with superior attack surface oversight and enhanced security measures.
According to Gartner: “By 2026, organisations that prioritise their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be 3X less likely to suffer a breach,” highlighting the need for a strong ASM solution.
The GigaOm Radar for Attack Surface Management assessed 29 leading ASM solutions, with analyst Chris Ray highlighting Cyberint’s performance.
According to Ray: “Cyberint achieved its Outperformer status thanks to its innovative approach to threat intelligence and robust integration capabilities. The company’s continuous improvement of core features, along with an expanded scope of threat intelligence and more accurate alerts, positions it for significant market growth in the coming years.”
As part of the Check Point Infinity Platform, the External Risk Management solution equips organisations with proactive security capabilities to oversee their attack surface effectively. By merging ongoing asset discovery, cutting-edge threat intelligence, and AI-powered prevention, this solution delivers real-time visibility and automated risk mitigation, integrating smoothly with the Check Point portfolio.
“We are proud to be recognised as a leader in this space,” says Yochai Corem, vice-president of external risk management at Check Point Software Technologies. “Our leadership shows how our customers can benefit from a comprehensive external view mapped to the threats related to their assets and the ability to simplify the remediation to those threats.”
Features highlighted in GigaOm’s evaluation include:
- Augmented Threat Visibility: Continuous and autonomous scanning of the entire modern attack surface including IP, Domains, third party, dark web and more.
- Proactive Security Validation: Passive attack surface discovery combined with active exposure validation. This proactive scanning capability tests the exploitability of vulnerabilities and exposures on internet-facing assets so customers can quickly identify and remediate imminent risks.
