Use case
In-the-wild exploitation now starts within hours of disclosure, but vulnerability remediation moves at the speed of change control. Patches have to be developed, tested and approved, and legacy systems often cannot be patched quickly at all. That window is where damage occurs.
Active Defense closes that window with autonomous vulnerability mitigation. The moment the watchTowr Platform validates your exposure, mitigation rules reach the WAFs, firewalls, IPS and IDS you already run, without waiting for a patch or a change window.
01
AI-Driven Rapid Reaction confirms which of your instances are actually affected and reachable from the internet, so mitigation goes where an attacker could really get in.
02
Active Defense rules are derived from exploitation behavior captured by Attacker Eye sensors and the research of watchTowr Labs, so they reflect what attackers are doing in the wild today.
03
Ready-to-use rules reach your WAFs, firewalls, IPS and IDS within hours, reviewed by your team or deployed autonomously, with retesting to confirm they hold.
04
Active Defense also closes DNS-based exposure, reclaims abandoned cloud assets and recovers abandoned domains, so exposure is reduced rather than filtered.
When PHP2Shell leaked, Platform clients were mitigating with Active Defense 24 hours before PHP published patches.
Active Defense does not replace patching. Mitigation runs at the perimeter while remediation runs on the schedule your organization needs.
When a Fortinet zero-day was exploited over Easter, Active Defense deployed mitigation wherever autonomous mitigation was configured.
The watchTowr Platform installs nothing, requiring no deployment within your environment and no infrastructure changes.
The watchTowr Platform
Zero install throughout. Mitigation rules land in the controls you already run, with no appliance to deploy and no operational disruption.
01 · Preempt
Know which vulnerabilities attackers will exploit next, and see exploitation the moment it begins.
02 · Validate
Your external footprint as attackers see it, with real-world attacker techniques proving what is exploitable.
03 · Mitigate
Rules live on your WAF, IDS and IPS while remediation runs.

Use case
Zero install. No infrastructure changes. Uplift your security posture within hours of onboarding the watchTowr Platform.
Point us at a domain. We reconstruct your real external estate and come back with validated exposure, not a theoretical CVE list.
The watchTowr Platform validates your exposure to an emerging threat and mitigates it at the edge while the vendor patch is still in testing.
watchTowr Labs publishes what is being exploited right now and whether it touches your estate, not vendor summaries written a week late.
Continuous, fully external validation of what an attacker can actually exploit against your estate, at a 0.01% false-positive rate.
Subsidiaries, forgotten infrastructure, shadow IT. We rebuild your external surface from a single domain, then validate what is exposed.
