It’s well known that security teams are often drowning in alerts.
And considering that 74% of identified exposures are actually dead ends, i.e., they don’t lead to your critical assets, this translates to massive operational overhead and, more importantly, a false sense of security.
But why are you spending time on the wrong things?
Because it can be nearly impossible to know which things are actually the right ones.
This is where validation comes in. At XM Cyber, we combine Automated Security Validation with Automated Exposure Validation. While Security Validation confirms your existing controls can stop a specific attack, Exposure Validation maps every potential attack path to prove which risks actually lead to your critical assets.
Together, it’s the ultimate filter: Automated Security Validation proves your defenses work, and Automated Exposure Validation ensures those defenses are in the right place.
2-Time Leader in Frost ASV Radar
And this is why we’re delighted to share that Frost & Sullivan named us as a leader for the 2nd time in a row in their 2026 Radar for Automated Security Validation (ASV). It is this commitment to moving beyond simple testing and toward true exposure intelligence that has helped us secure this spot for the 2nd year in a row.
The Frost & Sullivan Radar for Automated Security Validation (ASV) evaluates how effectively vendors help organizations transition from static vulnerability scanning to a continuous, attacker-centric view of risk. The report benchmarks included vendors across two primary indices, innovation and growth, and 10 specific criteria to determine their placement within the Radar. Beyond the standard 10 criteria, the ASV Radar specifically looks at how vendors:
- Simulate and Emulate Attacks: Using real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to “stress-test” security controls.
- Support CTEM: How the validation tool integrates into the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework to prioritize high-impact exposures.
- Provide an Adversarial Perspective: Giving security teams the same view an attacker would have to identify “attack paths” to critical assets.
We scored high marks on both indexes and we believe this recognition reflects our ability to turn complex attack data into clear, actionable outcomes.
Innovation Index
Innovation in security shouldn’t mean “more features to manage.” For us, it means providing the Exposure Intelligence needed to challenge the status quo. With our Attack Graph Analysis we’ve moved the industry away from the “Vulnerability Hose” and toward a model where you only fix the 2% of exposures that actually matter.
Growth Index
Our position on the Growth Index is a testament to the demand for efficiency. As organizations adopt the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework, they’re looking for partners who can provide more than just a “to-do” list. They want a strategic asset that returns time and resources to the security team.
Beyond the Badge
While we are honored to be a 2x Leader, the real win is seeing our customers ignore 98% of their alerts with total confidence. It’s about moving from “Are we compliant?” to “Are we safe from the attack path?”.
