Cyberint, rebranded as Check Point External Risk Management, offers a comprehensive view of an organization's cyber threats across the open, deep, and dark web.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has acquired Cyberint, enhancing its position in the Attack Surface Management (ASM) sector. This acquisition, noted in the GigaOm Radar for Attack Surface Management, combines Cyberint's expertise with Check Point's offerings in external risk management. The collaboration integrates automated asset discovery and continuous risk monitoring with advanced threat intelligence, providing customers with enhanced oversight of their attack surface.

Gartner has indicated that organizations focusing on continuous exposure management programs will benefit significantly, stating that they will be three times less likely to suffer a security breach by 2026. The GigaOm Radar assessed 29 leading Attack Surface Monitoring (ASM) solutions, with Chris Ray acclaiming Cyberint’s performance and its innovative threat intelligence approach. Ray noted, “Cyberint achieved its Outperformer status thanks to its innovative approach to threat intelligence and robust integration capabilities.”

The External Risk Management solution offered through the Check Point Infinity Platform enhances proactive security capabilities. It merges ongoing asset discovery and advanced threat intelligence, delivering automated risk mitigation while maintaining comprehensive visibility.

Yochai Corem, VP of External Risk Management at Check Point, expressed pride in being recognized as a leader in the field, emphasizing how customers can benefit from a detailed external view of threats linked to their assets and the simplified process of threat remediation.

With evolving cyber threats, Check Point's ASM approach aims to help organizations enhance their security postures effectively. Key features from GigaOm’s evaluation include:

• Augmented Threat Visibility: Continuous scanning of the entire attack surface, including IP addresses and the dark web.
• Proactive Security Validation: Combines passive attack surface discovery with active vulnerability validation.
