About Edgescan

Edgescan offers a continuous security testing and unified exposure management SaaS platform that manages thousands of assets for businesses large and small in a wide variety of industries across the globe.

Founded in 2011 by Eoin Keary, Edgescan has offices in Dublin and New York City.

We empower our clients to detect, prioritize, monitor, and fix security weaknesses for all web-facing and internal systems including web applications, websites, mobile apps, servers, firewalls, VPNs, or VoIP services. Our OSCP- and CREST-certified experts validate every vulnerability discovered on an assessment, creating a multi-step verification process for a solution that’s highly accurate and virtually free of false positives.

What We Do

Recently, I came across a “Cyber Defense” award that was offered in 195 different categories.

It’s a stunning reminder of just how many different and diversified solutions there are available in our industry. Some are unproven, while others are effective when deployed properly. But with so many firms offering so many answers, it’s important to ask a more fundamental question:

Why do we do what we do?

Here’s why we developed Edgescan, and why we think it’s a decent solution for organizations of all types that want to strengthen their security posture…

Scanning alone
doesn’t work.

Scanning software for security vulnerabilities makes sense, and it can be effective. But there’s risk on both sides: the scanner may miss threats because they’re lurking in unusual places, or hiding in plain sight with atypical characteristics. Or the tool might flag vulnerabilities that aren’t real—false positives.

Edgescan is built to combine scanning’s breadth and range of coverage with a hybrid validation approach. All flagged vulnerabilities are automatically assessed against our proprietary data lake, which after 14 years of work on behalf of our clients is more like an ocean. Then there’s the human element: our team of expert penetration testers validate vulnerabilities to further ensure they are real threats to your systems.

Risk-rated,
noise suppressed.

Our validation approach is like noise-suppression. Your list of vulnerabilities is free of false positives, meaning your security team will not waste time and money on phony threats and non-issues. This creates an efficiency that delivers real value to your organization, and it’s supercharged by another dimension of the Edgescan platform: risk-rating.

“Which vulnerabilities should we fix today?” is the essential question for any security team, and even if they’re not wasting time on false positives, they may be wasting it on relatively minor issues while more dire threats go unaddressed. Luckily, your list of real vulnerabilities will also be risk-rated in the Edgescan dashboard, so your staff can attack the most serious threats first.

Siloed vulnerability intelligence isn’t intelligent.

Hackers do not care which layer of your stack they exploit, and a serious vulnerability—where bad actors can gain entry to your systems and escalate their privileges to cause wider havoc—might be lurking anywhere.

For years, separate vulnerability-management tools that are specialized for different layers of the stack have been the standard, but getting these tools (and the staff who operate them) to collaborate effectively is costly, time-consuming, and may still leave gaps where you lack visibility.

You need a comprehensive view across the full stack. The Edgescan platform combines network, host, and web-application vulnerability in a single dashboard, with validated and risk-rated results that in aggregate provide a single source of truth.

Old-school penetration testing was clunky.

In the traditional model, firms seek out qualified penetration testers, draw up contracts, bring them onboard their systems, and await results delivered in the form of a PDF. It’s slow, clunky, and expensive, and in many cases it does not capitalize on the client’s existing knowledge of their attack surface and the threat matrix.

Why not integrate your pen testing with your vulnerability management? A detailed map of your attack surface and diagnostics on already known threats will allow testers to go deeper and focus their time and attention on the most complex issues that require a human touch. With the Edgescan platform, you can test and retest vulnerabilities on-demand instead of waiting on a contractor, and when you contact our support team, you can speak with an OSCP- or CREST-certified penetration tester at any time.
