CyCognito

Seedless external attack-surface discovery that finds cloud, subsidiary, and third-party assets attackers can actually reach.

Proof of life. Named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Attack Surface Management

CyCognito starts from a company name, not an asset list, and continuously inventories internet-facing IPs, apps, and cloud resources including ones no CMDB knew about. Autonomous testing then validates exploitability and business impact so VM backlogs shrink to the fraction worth a ticket. It is the outside-in complement to a CNAPP: the scanner you already paid for still misses the abandoned cloud account.
