    Great insights on vulnerabilities. CyCognito delivers all information you need to investigate, clarify and remediate vulnerabilities in your designated environment. Sadly the performance in the platform is slow from time time, but you can build around this problem using the API or creating reports.

CyCognito Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

The looks and the instinctively handling of the platform. You find everything where you expect it to be. Also it is very easy to manage the so called realms (the designated environment you want to apply cyber risk management to).
