CybelAngel protects its customers with External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solutions with an extensive and continuous ‘outside-in’ search of an organization’s internet-facing attack surface to discover exposed and unknown assets, produce a living map of online infrastructure, and uncover hidden vulnerabilities and threats. CybelAngel analysts then contextualize the most critical findings based upon business severity and perceived risk. This unique combination of machine and human intelligence leads to the highest signal-to-noise ratio on the market, leaving IT and Security teams free to focus on core business operations.
