Exposure Management.See what attackers see.

XMfortress finds every asset, assesses every vulnerability in context and shows the paths attackers would actually take. So your team fixes what matters first.

ManufacturingWhat is at stake

Every city is infrastructure. All infrastructure is attack surface.

Data centers, energy, public administration, manufacturing: whatever keeps a city running is connected – and therefore reachable. XMfortress shows which of these connections are open before someone else finds them.

01Prioritization

Traditional tools deliver lists. XMfortress delivers context: which asset is exposed, which path leads to your crown jewels and which single fix closes the most paths.

03Attack path analysis

Attackers think in paths. So does XMfortress.

A single vulnerability says little. It becomes dangerous when it is part of a path to your most important systems. XMfortress calculates these paths across network, identities and cloud and shows where a fix breaks the most paths.

01

Chokepoints instead of individual findings

One fix in the right place closes many paths at once.

02

Identities and permissions

Service accounts, groups and privileges are factored into the paths.

03

Clear to management

Each path explains in plain language what an attacker could achieve.

04For teams with responsibility

Built for the people who keep operations secure.

How XMfortress works

The CTEM cycle as an ongoing operation – not an annual project.

01 / 05

Scoping

Define what needs protecting

Which business processes, systems and data are critical? The scope determines where all further steps focus.

XMfortress Surface

Discovery

Find assets and vulnerabilities

All assets in scope are identified – including unknown systems, misconfigurations and permissions.

XMfortress Surface

Prioritization

Sort by real risk

Findings are assessed by exploitability, reachability and business value. What remains are the risks that actually matter.

XMfortress Vuln

Validation

Test whether attacks succeed

Attack path analysis and controlled tests confirm which risks are really exploitable and whether security controls work.

XMfortress Validate

Mobilization

Organize remediation

Responsible teams receive clear tasks with context. Progress and impact are measured and reported.

  • Traceable handling of technical vulnerabilities
  • Metrics for management review

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is exposure management?

Exposure management is the ongoing process of identifying all of a company’s attackable points, assessing them by actual risk, testing their exploitability and driving remediation. It covers assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and identities.

How does exposure management differ from vulnerability management?

Vulnerability management lists known vulnerabilities and usually rates them by CVSS. Exposure management also considers reachability, attack paths, business value and validation – and prioritizes by the risk to your business.

Can I license individual modules?

Yes. Surface, Exposure, Vuln and Validate can be licensed individually and later expanded into the complete platform. All modules use the same asset and risk model.

Does XMfortress help with NIS2 and DORA?

XMfortress provides the technical foundation for key requirements: an up-to-date asset inventory, risk-based assessment, demonstrable handling of vulnerabilities and regular effectiveness testing. The reports can be used for audits and regulators.
