A large focus of cybersecurity is on breaking the so-called "kill chain," detecting cyber attacks as they happen and preventing intrusions, and mitigating damage. Now, other tools in the cybersecurity space have emerged, focusing on managing the exposure of organizations to cyber attacks as well as streamlining and automating various workflows to lower the effort required to protect an organization's infrastructure. Cybersecurity solutions have also begun to specialize in protecting certain infrastructure components, such as AI, third-party SaaS, and development environments, or focus on preventing certain non-malware attacks, such as phishing.

These tools leverage AI and human expertise to identify and secure vulnerabilities, processes, data, third-party connections, SaaS applications, and AI models, and, in combination with other cybersecurity solutions, enable organizations to leverage their infrastructure with reduced risk of intrusions from within the organization as well as externally. Through automation, low-code, and no-code tools, these solutions also reduce the workload of cybersecurity teams, enable lesser-skilled employees to manage cyber workflows, and prevent errors in managing an organization's cybersecurity apparatus. Additionally, GenAI is used as a tool to provide cybersecurity information, simplify alerts, and automatically generate remediation code.
