Run your exposure program on verified facts, with the agents you choose
Defendermate verifies what’s exploitable, contains it now and proves it closed, under your policy, so your program moves as fast as attacks now do.
What sets it apart
Where it fits
An exposure management platform, the category your budget already has, with every step verified.
Preemptive cybersecurity
Exposures closed before anyone uses them: prevention, not detection.
Unified exposure management
The category Defendermate belongs to, for vulnerabilities and exposures.
CTEM
Every stage supported with verified facts, run by your agents today and ours soon.
Exposure assessment
Findings from any scanner, verified and ranked by real attack paths.
Adversarial exposure validation
Proven without touching production. Exploit-level testing stays with your tools.
Autonomous exposure remediation
Every change gated by verification and your policy.
Neither half is enough alone
Research without your environment is a guess
It can say a vulnerability is dangerous, not whether it’s dangerous to you.
Your environment without research is an inventory
It can list what you run, not which of it an attacker can use.
Workflows are now cheap to build with agents. Verified facts about your environment are not.
What changes for your program
- Teams spend most of their time on findings that can’t be exploited.Verified facts for every stage: what’s exploitable, proven in your environment.
- The program bends to a vendor’s workflow.Your workflows and your agents, under a policy set to your risk appetite.
- The exposure stays open until the patch ships.Contained now with mitigations as code, and proven closed when the fix lands.
How it compares with other approaches
| Category | Typical approach | Defendermate |
|---|---|---|
| Exposure management platforms | Gather, score and route findings into the platform’s own queues. | Verifies each finding first, and lets your agents run the work in your workflow. |
| Breach and attack simulation | Run attacks, often against non-production or on a schedule. | Proves paths continuously on production without firing an exploit. |
| Patch management | Upgrade every finding the same way, and wait for the patch. | Contains now, and tells you whether a safe, complete fix exists. |
| Code-fix tools | Write source-code fixes in your applications. | Complementary: applies released fixes and mitigations, never the upstream patch. |
| AI assistants in security tools | The vendor’s agents, inside the vendor’s product. | Your choice of agents, working from verified facts. |
