About Scapien
Scapien was founded with the idea that only the most sophisticated organizations with strong cybersecurity teams truly test and manage their cybersecurity attack surface. Even these organizations know they need to do more. The reality is that identifying cybersecurity risks that mimic hacker behavior within an organization is a time-consuming, cumbersome, resource-intensive, and expensive endeavor.
The inability to quickly identify and remediate cybersecurity risks is a key contributor to the increasing number of worldwide cyberattacks.
The cost and cybersecurity personnel shortage means that quality attack surface management is inaccessible for most organizations. Scapien’s platform changes this market dynamic.
By continuously aggregating the latest real “hacker” techniques for both technology and employees and providing customers with comprehensive risk mitigation management, Scapien delivers a single pane of glass to view and manage organizations’ attack surfaces. The platform’s ability to integrate high levels of automation enhanced with AI results in continuously deeper, broader, and faster testing. Cyber risks are quickly identified, and the platform’s detailed remediation system allows organizations to track and mitigate risks expediently.
Scapien’s cost-effective Attack Surface Management platform allows its customers to continually improve their cybersecurity maturity model, validate and manage their security risks reducing their attack surface.
