Attack Surface Management: Build Critical Visibility and Monitoring of ...

As organizations move workloads to the cloud, offer digital experiences to customers, and build AI-enabled applications, their attack surface grows exponentially. Traditional security methods, relying on network and endpoint-based scanners to discover and patch CVEs, are becoming outdated. The reality is, attackers don’t think in terms of CVEs—they think in terms of attack paths.


The Hacker’s Approach

The most successful hackers increase the blast radius and impact of their attacks by connecting key vulnerabilities across an organisation:

  • Weak access controls to high-privilege users
  • Misconfigurations in mission-critical assets
  • Known exploits impacting multiple systems

Evolving Threat Landscape

To address this quickly evolving threat landscape, security teams are shifting from simply ticking boxes for patched vulnerabilities to understanding, contextualising, and preempting real-world threats. The goal is to stop breaches before they happen.


CheckMate’s Approach

This is where CheckMate steps in. By combining Passive Detections, Active Detection, PTVS, and Active Response, CheckMate provides continuous security protection. It operates like the hacker—thinking ahead and proactively identifying and closing threat avenues.


Proactive Defense

CheckMate and Phen.AI work together to preemptively block threats before attackers can exploit vulnerabilities. They also enable real-time detection and mitigation of active attempts, using a cybersecurity blockchain to track and neutralize threats before they can gain momentum and infiltrate your network.
