PRESS RELEASE

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2022 — Skybox Security today announced the next generation of its award-winning Security Posture Management Platform – including the industry's first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for Security Policy and Vulnerability Management. Propelling its global customer base into the next era of proactive cybersecurity, major innovations advance its platform that continuously tests attack feasibility, exposure, remediation options, and compliance across hybrid environments.

"Today, we're delivering on our mission of building the world's leading Security Posture Management platform," said Skybox Security CEO and Founder Gidi Cohen. "Skybox equips customers with the hybrid network modeling, path analysis, and automation they need to reduce the risk of a significant data breach by 55%. Our latest innovations are significant for customers that deploy on-prem, as well as customers that will benefit from our new SaaS solution. The new Skybox Cloud Edition offering capitalizes on the speed, scale, innovation, and productivity benefits powered by the cloud to drive the pursuit of broader digital business opportunities."

Expansion into Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management

Challenging the status quo through a dynamic, fresh approach to Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), Skybox visualizes all assets through API integrations, identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities using proprietary threat intelligence, sees gaps in security controls, and automatically provides remediation options. In addition, significant advancements to the proprietary Skybox network model enable customers to dynamically model operational technology, IT, and hybrid cloud environments – including all networking and security data related to a specific asset.

According to Gartner Research: "CAASM enables security teams to improve basic security hygiene by ensuring security controls, security posture, and asset exposure are understood and remediated. Organizations that deploy CAASM reduce dependencies on homegrown systems and manual collection processes, and remediate gaps either manually or via automated workflows. Organizations can visualize security tool coverage, support attack surface management (ASM) processes, and correct systems of record that may have stale or missing data."1

Industry's First Solution To Automatically Map Vulnerabilities To Malware Type

Skybox also introduced the industry's first Security Posture Management solution that connects Vulnerability Management with Threat Hunting. Building on its Exposure Management process that emphasizes publicly known vulnerabilities and identifies control gaps, Skybox now also associates vulnerabilities to malware by name, category, and distinct classes – including ransomware, Remote Access Trojans (RATs), botnets, cryptocurrency miners, trojans, and more.

"Executives and board members want to know if their cybersecurity teams are staying ahead of the latest celebrity malware such as TrickBot, REMCOS, FormBook, AZORult, Ursnif, Agent Tesla, and NanoCore," said Ran Abramson, Threat Intelligence Analyst, Skybox Research Lab. "Powered by Skybox threat intelligence, CISOs have automated analysis that can prove they retired millions of malware and exploits. No other cybersecurity solution can provide customers with our advanced vulnerability prioritization and threat trend reporting."

Expanded Integrations Eliminate Complexity, Reduce Administrative Burden, and Provide More Effective Cybersecurity
