Automated attack surface mapping has improved risk visibility but still needs better guidance
I believe CyCognito could improve by lowering the false positive rate. When false positives occur with CyCognito, we experience frustrating delays in customer support. Standard support tickets for complaints often take too long to resolve. Additionally, the remediation workflow guidance is sometimes criticized for lacking clear step-by-step instructions on fixing vulnerabilities, requiring manual engineering research. Adding specific code fixes or configuration lines could prevent teams from manually figuring out corrections. Moreover, the tool is somewhat expensive, particularly for small to medium businesses such as ours, pushing smaller IT teams to utilize lower-cost or open-source alternatives. Ideally, a pricing tier favorable to these smaller organizations would be beneficial. I also suggest a consumption-based model based on testing frequency rather than total asset count to enhance platform accessibility. CyCognito also lacks native compliance questionnaire management and vendor scorecard tracking, which could improve overall utility. Finally, while it maps third-party parameters, it cannot fully address lateral movement paths as some other scanners can, requiring reliance on external API integration.

Breach and attach simulation solution used to test security tools with a valuable library of hacking data
The most valuable feature is the huge library of hack attacks and breach methods. It can run different attacks in a safe manner without damaging anything inside the infrastructure. The great thing is that the database is constantly updating. It has signature attack playbooks to check if a company is protected against a potential attack.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since using CyCognito, we have observed specific outcomes, for the last operational year, we had about 30 to 50 percent more risk surface with hidden internet-exposed assets that traditional internal scanning tools missed, MTTR was reduced by more than 60 percent, compressing timelines to patch critical vulnerabilities from weeks or months down to days, the prioritization engine filtered out noise, forcing the security team to focus on a small fraction of exploitable risks, we also saw a less than 5 percent false positive rate, which eliminated hours of manual validation work, and we have saved significantly annually due to automated external testing, reducing reliance on manual penetration testing and expensive external bug bounty programs."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting database and attack protection."
"People who would like to understand if their security program really works need a solution like SafeBreach."
"The most valuable feature is the huge library of hack attacks and breach methods."
 

Cons

"When false positives occur with CyCognito, we experience frustrating delays in customer support."
"I would like to see some integration on the customization and customer support."
"There is room for improvement in the interface. It is not always easy to find the options that you need and not everything is customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is more expensive than other options on the market today."
"The price starts from about $140,000 so this solution is expensive in my opinion. Maintenance and support is included in the license cost."
