Cybersecurity risk management specialists Outpost24 have today announced the acquisition of Sweepatic. Based in Leuven, Belgium, Sweepatic is an innovative external attack surface management (EASM) platform. Gartner identified EASM as a top Security and Risk Management (SRM) trend for 2022. By leveraging their EASM solution across Outpost24s full-stack security assessment and threat intelligence offering, customers will be provided with the most comprehensive view of their internal and external attack surface to identify unknown assets and prioritise risk mitigation.
Named by Gartner as a key vendor in the ‘Competitive Landscape: External Attack Surface Management, 2023’ and ‘Emerging Technologies: Critical Insights for External Attack Surface Management in 2021’, Sweepatic is a leading European EASM platform that scans the internet to discover unknown assets and systems of an organisation to detect hidden risk and automate prioritisation for security issues identified. It also obtained the Cybersecurity Made in Europe label granted by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) as a recognition for their trustworthiness. Sweepatic was backed by eCapital Entrepreneurial Partners (DE), TIIN Capital (NL) and the Flemish investment company PMV (BE).
Attackers routinely exploit vulnerable, misconfigured external assets as an entry point to gain initial access. Having a complete view of the attack surface is an essential component of modern cyber risk management. EASM is designed to provide visibility and protect internet-facing assets which may go undiscovered as an organisation’s digital footprint, and associated risk expands. With Sweepatic, these ‘outside-in’ blind spots become visible, and any unknown and unmanaged, vulnerable assets are mapped out across public-facing cloud services, infrastructures and web applications to prioritise mitigation.
