The CyCognito platform uses global reconnaissance infrastructure and graph data modeling to automatically discover external assets, build a contextual inventory, assess their risk, and prioritize remediation. The Attack Surface Management component provides deep visibility into attacker‑exposed assets and ties findings into remediation tools, reducing validation time from months to hours. (CyCognito)
