BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- SaaS platform for Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) to proactively

identify security blind spots before hackers do

FireCompass [https://www.firecompass.com/ ] today unveils its new artificial

intelligence powered Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) platform that

mimics thousands of hackers trying to break into an organization. The solution

enables organizations to launch continuous safe attacks to identify blind spots

before hackers do. Created by a team of serial cybersecurity entrepreneurs,

FireCompass' product is already being used by top companies, including Sprint

(now a part of T-Mobile), Security Innovation and others spanning multiple industries.

    A hack is executed every 39 seconds and impacts one in three Americans

every year. According to Gartner [https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/3986434/how-to-respond-to-the-2020-threat-landscape ], "Nation-state actors and criminal organizations

operate with a level of sophistication that surpasses the preventative and detection

capabilities of most security and risk management teams."

    "Organizations typically conduct security testing only a few times a year

on a partial list of online assets, excluding shadow IT unknown to security

teams. Meanwhile, hackers are always attempting attacks on the entirety of

their assets," said Bikash Barai, Co-Founder of FireCompass. "At FireCompass,

our vision is to make Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) available to all

so that organizations can discover and test all their assets at all times –

just like real attackers do."

    FireCompass is reinventing traditional red teaming using the power of AI

and SaaS. The solution runs continuously without the need for software,

hardware or additional employee resources. It indexes the deep, dark and

surface web using similar reconnaissance techniques as nation-state actors. The

platform automatically discovers an organization's ever-changing digital attack

surface, including unknown exposed databases, cloud buckets, code leaks,

exposed credentials, risky cloud assets and open ports, etc. The attack engine

then launches multi-stage attacks, which includes network attacks, application

attacks and social engineering attacks, on the discovered digital surface to

identify attack paths that are otherwise missed by conventional tools.

    FireCompass' CART uniquely combines Attack Surface Management (ASM), and

multiple security testing technologies, eliminating the need for multiple tools

and significant manual effort. With FireCompass, scans that once took weeks and

months can now be completed in hours or days. FireCompass' key capabilities include:

    - Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART)

      Continuous safe attacks to test the effectiveness of security investments

and discover security blind spots.

    - Attack Surface Management (ASM) & Shadow IT Discovery

      Identification of orphaned domains/subdomains, risky IPs, exposed

database/cloud buckets, code leaks, leaked credentials, exposed

test/pre-production systems and Shadow IT risks.

    - Ransomware Attack Surface Monitoring

      Internet scans to discover risky assets that can be exploited by malware

and ransomware.

    "To our surprise, FireCompass has exceeded our expectations," said a Risk

Manager at Sprint (now a part of T-Mobile). "The tool has demonstrated

reliability in the findings, and FireCompass has proven to be a valuable

service provider."

    Founded by industry veterans Bikash Barai, Nilanjan De and Priyanka Aash,

FireCompass is backed by prominent investors and venture capitalist funds. The

founders' previous endeavors include iViZ, which was acquired by

Cigital/Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and CISO Platform

[https://www.cisoplatform.com/ ], one of the largest communities of CISOs and

security executives in the world. The team has multiple patents in IT security

and have broken the best cybersecurity products, including McAfee, Microsoft

Bit Locker, Sophos, AVG etc.

    "FireCompass, with its veteran team and deep domain expertise, is well

positioned to change the way the industry does red teaming today," said Som Pal

Choudhury, FireCompass Investor, Board Member, and Partner at Bharat Innovation Fund.
