FireCompass

Software

FireCompass

FireCompass is a SaaS platform for Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) & Attack Surface Management (ASM). It continuously indexes and monitors the deep, dark & surface web to map out an organization's digital attack surface including Shadow IT blind spots. The platform then automatically launches safe multi-stage attacks, mimicking a real attacker, to help identify attack paths before hackers do. The platform eliminates the need for multiple tools and significant manual effort while providing continuous and proactive security. FireCompass is a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform that focuses on continuous pen testing and red teaming. Their services ensure that businesses take a proactive approach towards their security, testing not just a fraction but the entirety of their external attack surfaces. This comprehensive approach ensures that peripheral assets, which might typically remain untested for extended periods, are continuously monitored. FireCompass is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, including top telecom companies in the USA, leading banks, financial services, insurance providers, IT/ITES companies, and major players in manufacturing and e-commerce.
