watchTowr Launches AI-Driven Preemptive Exposure Management Platform to Predict and Prevent Zero-Day Exploits

watchTowr Unveils AI-Powered Preemptive Exposure Management Platform to Outpace Rise of Zero-Day Exploitation SINGAPORE & LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- watchTowr has announced significant advancements in its product lineup with the release of a Preemptive Exposure Management solution. This platform, designed for Fortune 500 companies and critical infrastructure providers, integrates watchTowr’s Proactive Threat Intelligence capabilities with its External Attack Surface Management technology into a unified, AI-driven system. The goal is to empower security teams to understand and mitigate potential breaches with unprecedented speed and precision, staying ahead of rapid zero-day exploitation. In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, the window between a vulnerability's discovery and exploitation is shrinking dramatically. Some threats are now being weaponized within just a few hours, making traditional vulnerability management SLAs insufficient for maintaining security. To address this, the watchTowr Platform combines real-time threat intelligence, attacker telemetry, and automated red teaming, offering a comprehensive view of current and emerging threats. "By the time a vulnerability makes headlines, attackers have often already breached systems and installed backdoors," said Benjamin Harris, co-founder and CEO of watchTowr. "Time is the most crucial defense in the face of these rapid threats. Our platform is specifically designed to give organizations that critical advantage, allowing them to react and fortify their defenses before breaches occur." Central to the platform’s functionality is its AI Execution Pipeline. This component autonomously converts observed attacker behaviors into actionable insights, identifying whether and how an organization’s environment and systems might be vulnerable. Any changes in adversary tactics trigger immediate automated tests, eliminating the need for manual intervention and providing continuous monitoring and validation. watchTowr's Proactive Threat Intelligence capabilities are powered by several distinct features: First-Party Telemetry: Real-time data collected from live attacks, helping identify emerging threats. Predictive Analytics: Algorithms that forecast potential attack vectors based on historical and current data. Dark Web Monitoring: Surveillance of underground forums and marketplaces to detect early signs of impending threats. Vulnerability Prioritization: Intelligent ranking of vulnerabilities by impact and likelihood of exploitation. These capabilities are seamlessly integrated with watchTowr’s External Attack Surface Management technology, which includes: Continuous Asset Discovery: Real-time identification of all internet-facing assets, both known and unknown. Automated Vulnerability Scanning: Comprehensive scans to detect and assess vulnerabilities across the entire attack surface. Dynamic Threat Assessment: Real-time evaluation of the risk posed by identified threats to the organization. Immediate Actionable Insights: Clear recommendations for mitigating detected risks. This combination allows customers to accurately predict and understand the tactics and techniques likely to be used in future attacks, as well as to identify and validate current exposures. The platform ensures that organizations can respond quickly and effectively, even as attackers adapt and evolve their methods. Recent additions to the watchTowr team, such as Ryan Dewhurst, who is now leading Proactive Threat Intelligence, underscore the company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation.
