Use Case

Rapid Reaction To Emerging Cyber Threats With The watchTowr Platform

Overview

Cybercriminals are exploiting emerging vulnerabilities and threats at increasing speed – in some cases, with in-the-wild exploitation occurring in as little as 4 hours. The watchTowr Platform can determine exposure to emerging vulnerabilities and threats within 2 hours, enabling security teams to respond and prevent breaches before they occur.

This is the new reality that we exist in, where attackers, ransomware gangs and APT groups are incentivized to compromise networks as quickly as possible. The watchTowr Platform has been built to combat this threat with speed – enabled by continuously monitoring an organization’s attack surface and leveraging the expertise of the watchTowr Labs research team.

Traditional tools and periodic vulnerability scans have been proven to be ineffective in this new reality, while delayed emerging threat responses increase the likelihood of breaches, exposing organizations to severe financial and reputational damage.

Rapid reaction, enabled by the watchTowr Platform

01

Unmatched Speed Through AI-Driven Response

Fueled by real-world attacker telemetry from Attacker Eye and the offensive research of watchTowr Labs, the AI-Driven Rapid Reaction pipeline identifies client exposure to emerging threats within 2 hours on average, well inside the 4-hour window in which disclosed vulnerabilities are typically weaponized. Every incident sharpens the next.

02

Precision Through Comprehensive Visibility

Comprehensive and continuous attack surface mapping highlights and records in-use technology, enabling precise targeting of vulnerabilities during rapid responses.

03

Actionable Intelligence And Prioritization

watchTowr Intel combines real-world security testing with attacker telemetry and vulnerability prioritization, cutting through the noise to focus operations on critical and emerging risks.

04

Mitigation With Active Defense

When patches are not yet available, Active Defense autonomously pushes network-level mitigation rules to the edge, buying security teams the time they need to remediate properly.

Key Solution Benefits

Prevent Breaches Before They Happen

Rapid identification ensures organizations stay ahead of attackers, enabling remediation before in-the-wild exploitation begins.

Assurance When Unaffected

Gain assurance with independent confirmation from watchTowr when your organization is not exposed to an emerging threat, enabling confident reporting to boards and cyber insurers.

Resilience Against Evolving Threats

The watchTowr Platform enables continuous monitoring and adaptability to new vulnerabilities, ensuring sustained protection against a dynamic threat landscape.

Accelerated and Efficient Operations

Streamline workflows by automating threat prioritization and validation, reducing manual effort while maintaining rapid response capabilities.

Attackers Don't Give Up. Neither Should Your Security Testing.

Zero install. No infrastructure changes. Uplift your security posture within hours of onboarding the watchTowr Platform.

Find Out What an Attacker Can Reach Before They Do.

Point us at a domain. We reconstruct your real external estate and come back with validated exposure, not a theoretical CVE list.

Disclosure to Exploitation Is Four Hours. Patching Is Not.

The watchTowr Platform validates your exposure to an emerging threat and mitigates it at the edge while the vendor patch is still in testing.

We Find the Vulnerabilities. You Hear It From Us First.

watchTowr Labs publishes what is being exploited right now and whether it touches your estate, not vendor summaries written a week late.

Your Exposure Changes Weekly. Annual Testing Cannot Describe It.

Continuous, fully external validation of what an attacker can actually exploit against your estate, at a 0.01% false-positive rate.
