Veriti, a leading force in exposure assessment and remediation is thrilledto announce its mentionin the latest 2024 Gartner Emerging Tech: Top Use Cases in Preemptive Cyber Defense. As stated by Gartner in this report, “Preemptive cyber defense technologies are on track to disrupt the overall cybersecurity market. Product leaders must start adopting a preemptive cyber defense strategy by leveraging the top use cases discussed here or risk getting left behind in the market.” 

According to Gartner, “Top Use Cases in Preemptive Cyber Defense Identified in Gartner’s Recent Field Research: 

• AMTD 

• Threat simulation and automated exposure management 

• Predictive threat intelligence 

• Advanced cyber deception 

• Network threat detection and observability

Veriti’s Role in Leading the Way 

In our opinion, Veriti stands out in this domain by providing a platform that excels in threat simulation and automated exposure management. As Gartner notes, “Combining threat graphs, vulnerability and misconfiguration exposure telemetry, and autonomous AI agents for remediation will mean we can rapidly deliver human-approved proactive mitigation of threats. This will allow for precise identification of critical points that are most effective in either stopping an attack sequence or preventing the spread of an attack within the network.”Veriti’s approach integrates seamlessly with existing security tools, providing real-time insights that not only identify exposures but also deliver automated, safe remediation paths. This ensures that security teams can act swiftly and decisively, reducing the risk of successful attacks and minimizing disruption to business operations. 

Veriti: An Example Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Emerging Tech: Top Use Case for Preemptive Cyber Defense  

In Gartner’s 2024 report on Emerging Tech: Top Use Cases in Preemptive Cyber Defense, Veriti is recognized as a example vendor in one of the two top-ranked use cases: Threat Simulation and Automated Exposure Management.  As noted by Gartner, “Too often, products lack a focus on prevention or preemption of threat actors, and instead focus on just a conveyance of historical indicators of compromise.” 

What makes Veriti unique is its ability to synthesize data from various sources—security configurations, threat intelligence, and security logs—into actionable insights. We believe that this capability is particularly valuable in the context of “Threat Simulation and Automated Exposure Management,” where the ability to predict and preemptively mitigate exposures can make the difference between a minor incident and a major breach. 

A Word from Veriti’s Leadership 

Oren Koren, CPO and Co-Founder of Veriti, shares, “We think, this mention by Gartner in the area of preemptive cyber defense is a strong validation of our mission. We are committed to helping organizations not just defend against threats but proactively prevent them. Our platform’s strength lies in its ability to integrate deeply with existing security infrastructures, providing the kind of advanced, automated solutions that today’s threat landscape demands.” 

We believe Veriti’s platform is uniquely positioned to lead in this space, offering advanced capabilities that go beyond traditional security measures. By automating the identification of exposures and simulating potential attack scenarios, Veriti enables organizations to build a proactive defense strategy that is critical for today’s security needs. 

As cyber security continues to evolve, Veriti is dedicated to shaping the future of preemptive cyber defense. With its focus on automation, advanced AI, and seamless integration, Veriti empowers organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats, ensuring that their security posture is not just reactive but truly preemptive.
