Threat Prevention Toolchain

Preventing cyber attacks at the source

Overview

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.

Industry scope 

This industry focuses on the following:
  • Exposure and vulnerability management: Companies that help organizations analyze their exposure to attackers and analyze and remedy vulnerability to threats across the entire attack surface.
  • GenAI cyber automation: Solutions that leverage GenAI in various cybersecurity workflows, such as generating remediation code or presenting complex cyber information in simple language.
  • Automation of cybersecurity operations: Solutions that utilize AI and other methods to automate cybersecurity operations such as threat detection, vulnerability management, and threat response.
  • Cyber compliance and risk management: Tools that enable organizations to ensure compliance with industry cybersecurity standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.
  • Security apparatus testing and vulnerability identification: Companies that provide penetration testing services and red teaming to help identify weaknesses in an organization’s security stack through attack simulation and testing.
  • Management and security of third-party SaaS: Companies that focus on identifying vulnerabilities and suspicious code in open-source components utilized in the development across the software supply chain as well as SaaS applications.
  • Compilation of cybersecurity information: Services that compile information on cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities to help the other components of the cybersecurity stack identify incoming attacks before they break through.
However, we exclude the following areas when selecting companies for this industry:
  • Platforms directly involved in combating cyber attacks, including detection and response platforms, network, endpoint, and application security tools, and managed service providers (covered under ).
  • Platforms that enable the secure use and processing of data, ensure compliance with privacy regulations, and carry out other tasks such as data governance and security (covered under ).
  • Platforms that deal with the security and management of user identities to prevent unauthorized access to resources, such as multi-factor authentication and single sign-on solutions (covered under ).
  • Platforms that secure email users from cyber attacks and phishing (covered under ).
Currently, we do not actively cover this industry, but we have identified it as a potential industry to add to our coverage. For the list of industries in our coverage, please visit https://sp-edge.com/industries.
