SixMap Enhances Exposure Management Platform with Organization Filtering and Exposure Insights

Share It:

SixMap Inc., a provider of preemptive exposure management platforms, has introduced Organization Filtering and Exposure Insights, two new capabilities designed to improve how enterprises manage security across complex organizational attack surfaces. The introduction addresses an evolving threat landscape where attackers leverage AI for near-fully automated campaigns, exploiting familiar weaknesses such as misconfigurations, vulnerable software, and gaps in asset ownership. To counter this, defenders require technologies that accelerate fundamental security practices: knowing what they own, what needs protection, what software is running, and which risks demand immediate mitigation. SixMap’s new product enhancements provide clear asset ownership, automatic and accurate mapping of exposures to business entities, and continuous assessments that track environmental changes between any two points in time. These capabilities aim to save time, improve operational efficiency, and reduce risk for complex organizations across industries including financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, public sector, and defense. Born from national security roots, SixMap employs an entity-first approach, mapping the entire organizational structure—subsidiaries, operating companies, brands, business units, and regional entities—before initiating any network discovery. This hierarchy drives subsequent assessments and eliminates misattribution issues. Jason Kaplan, CEO of SixMap, stated, “Enterprises lose precious time trying to figure out who owns what before they can fix anything. These new capabilities cut straight through that noise. Customers get clear ownership, clear changes, and clear accountability, which means faster response times and fewer places for high-risk exposures to hide.” Organization Filtering automatically assigns every discovered IP address, domain, exposed service, and vulnerability to the entity that owns it. This allows security leaders to filter the platform to view exact assets and exposures for any business unit or subsidiary without manual tagging, spreadsheets, or cleanup. Benefits include precise asset attribution, zero manual effort in data structuring, central oversight for CISOs to pull inventories and track exposures on demand, faster fixes due to risks being tied to owners, and smarter resource allocation based on entity performance. SixMap continuously performs discovery and assessment procedures. Exposure Insights enables customers to compare any two assessments—whether days, weeks, or months apart—to see the exact delta in IPs, domains, exposed services, and vulnerabilities. Use cases for this feature include preemptively surfacing new high-risk exposures, providing clean and defensible change summaries for executive and board reporting, and aiding threat hunting by spotting suspicious infrastructure changes that might signal backdoors or data exfiltration points. Benefits include operational certainty regarding assessment completion and changes, reduced Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) for high-risk exposures, better decision-making through posture shift tracking, and proactive defense via continuous full-port reviews across the digital estate. Unlike traditional exposure management tools that often rely on third-party data sources and partial scanning, SixMap’s 6Gen algorithm detects hosts across the IPv4 and IPv6 spaces with high precision. Combined with SixMap’s independently operated ISP, the platform inspects all 65,535 ports on every discovered host during each assessment. This process produces verified, complete data, eliminating the need for customers to filter and validate noisy or incomplete reports themselves. SixMap Inc. delivers a comprehensive and accurate external view of public or private organizations, enabling security teams to understand their assets and vulnerabilities. By closing the gap between monitored assets and adversary reconnaissance findings, SixMap assists customers in mitigating risks preemptively. The company’s strategic mapping prevents overlooked assets, while its advanced technology precisely identifies hosts, exposures, and risks. Originating from national defense applications protecting sensitive networks, SixMap now offers military-grade capabilities to public and private organizations to preempt cyberattacks.
