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

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).

Good analytics, easy to filter and find. Nice dashboard, allows you to focus on the larger issues easily. Good remidation advice with useful and helpful links.

Their support team will ensure you do not have any assets effected by latest cve's. The asset path and how it directly connected to your enviorment.

The performance. From time to time CyCognito is very slow and it can take a while to search for something. But you can safe your search via its filtering options for later.

Too many links, annoying to keep opening web page after web page to hone in on an issue.

One thing i would like to have incorporated. Is not only have CISA certified cve's (which are great) but also utilize some sort of other media forms of exploits. Typically the latest security vuls come from security researchers and often first seen on twitter.

The tool dashboard is easy to understand and requires minimal setup, which can be used to detect and discover the vulnerabilities. It helps the users to easily navigate through the platform and understand the risk posture of the organization. It features asset discovery and vulnerability management, which helps to manage the attack surface. Coming to asset discovery, Cycognito identifies web applications and cloud environments and scans for the misconfigured assets. Cycognito offers Threat intelligence which provides security for the threats and attacks targeting the assets of the organization, which helps for a proactive approach based on the trends. The reports provide detailing in every aspect allowing the teams to monitor the security efforts and track progress. High priority alerts can also be tracked down for the remediation process. We can customize user roles and permissions so that sensitive information is accessible to those who need it. Cycognito integrates with the cloud environments and scale quickly for our organization. The tool offers great support through chat/ email, and we have biweekly calls as well. It also provides a knowledge base with guides on where we can address common issues.
