Reducing Cyber Security Risks During M&A

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) come with hidden cybersecurity dangers. Acquiring a company means acquiring its vulnerabilities—misconfigured systems, exposed credentials, and exploitable weaknesses that attackers can and will weaponize.

Failing to address these risks can lead to breaches, financial losses, regulatory scrutiny and valuation impact. An inherited vulnerability can undermine years of hard-earned security resillience, exposing your organization to attackers the moment networks are connected.

The watchTowr Platform eliminates these risks. By simulating a real attacker to discover significant cybersecurity risks and threats before and during integration, the watchTowr Platform ensures you do not inadvertently compromise your organization’s cybersecurity posture.

The Role of the watchTowr Platform in M&A

  • Mapping Entire Attack Surface

Unlike traditional tools, the watchTowr Platform takes an attacker’s perspective to build comprehensive attack surface visibility – ensuring nothing is overlooked.

  • Identify Exploitable Vulnerabilities To Reduce Real Risk

Recognizing that not all vulnerabilities are equal, the watchTowr Platform focuses on exploitable vulnerabilities that once remediated represent real cybersecurity risk reduction and return on investment.

  • Replacing Static Assessments with Real-Time Insights

Static reports are often outdated. The watchTowr Platform delivers real-time visibility, ensuring dynamic risk discovery throughout the M&A process.
