Gartner recognizes Sweepatic on the 2021 Emerging Technologies Vendors List for External Attack Surface Management

According to Gartner, EASM will become part of a broader vulnerability and threat management push aimed at discovering and managing internal- and external-facing assets and potential vulnerabilities.

"We are proud to be mentioned by Gartner as a vendor in this emerging EASM space, says Stijn Vande Casteele, founder & CEO."

Organizations' blind spots grow exponentially as network complexity rises while attackers are continuously scanning the internet for exposed assets to target. Sweepatic's technology preempts potential breaches by mapping the internet for any exposed IT assets; cloud services, external-facing on-premises infrastructures, web assets and more.

Key findings of the report include:

• External attack surface management (EASM) capabilities cross over into other existing security markets like digital risk protection services (DRPS).
• EASM is an emerging concept that is growing quickly in terms of awareness within the security vendor community but at a slower pace within end-user organizations.
• EASM can be a component of a broader enterprise vulnerability management strategy.

EASM solutions like Sweepatic are leveraged to discover both known and unknown external-facing assets and networks, identify infrastructure-based vulnerabilities, or complement existing capabilities such as vulnerability assessment and cloud security posture management to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities.
