Cyberpion

As organizations modernize, the vendor ecosystem on which they rely grows larger and more complex. The vendor ecosystem, which Gartner refers to as the "external attack surface", includes any external application or storage that is utilized by your organization, as well as any vendors of your direct vendor. As career security professionals theirselves, they know security teams need the kind of visibility and prioritization that goes well beyond the typical scorecard. Cyberpion's Ecosystem Security Platform iterates through every connection, link, code embed, DNS reference, etc. to build a complete risk assessment for your PKI, TLS, Cloud, DNS, and web connections.
