The challenge
AI-enabled attackers move faster than you can react
Attackers are speeding up
Exploitation in minutes
Time from disclosure to exploit is now measured in minutes, not weeks.
Supply chain as force multiplier
One compromised dependency reaches thousands of targets at once.
AI-speed attacks
AI lets attackers find and hit exposures faster than humans can respond.
Defenders can’t keep up
Scanning that runs too slow
Daily scans leave long windows where new exposures appear.
Unable to prioritize
which exposures are most likely to be exploited, so the backlog just grows.
Shadow exposure
Assets outside the inventory never get scanned at all.
Stop reacting. Start preempting. Security fit for the real-time era.
Introducing PTEM
Introducing Preemptive Threat Exposure Management (PTEM) by Searchlight
Searchlight identifies exposures that are both exploitable and actively targeted, prioritizing them for immediate remediation.
Exposure tells you what’s open.
Attacker intelligence tells you what’s coming.
Searchlight weaves them into one surface.
Continuous, hourly scanning of external assets, APIs, identities, and third-party exposure.
High-signal, so what surfaces is real, not a backlog of maybes.
Every finding validated by exploitation, with a proof-of-concept attached, so you're not chasing maybes.
Attacker context and intent, mapped to your organization.
Real-world attacker activity, not theoretical risk.
Law-enforcement-grade intel from cybercriminal forums, closed Telegram channels, & leak sites.
Instantly test and confirm that a remediated exposure is truly closed.
Direct integration into the security and engineering tools you already use.
High-confidence exposures move straight into your remediation workflow.
Exposure Visibility
See your true attack surface
Discover everything internet-facing. The known assets and the shadow, third-party, and cloud ones you don't know about yet, and validate what's genuinely exploitable.
Attacker Reality
See who's targeting your organization
Searchlight gives you visibility into pre-attack indicators beyond the open web for the activity that comes before an attack: leaked credentials, exploit development, chatter in hacking forums.
Preemptive action
Act fast on the threats that matter
Where a confirmed exposure meets observed attacker activity, that jumps to the top of your queue, so you can remediate before attackers act.
Product overview
One platform for complete preemptive security
Searchlight Exposure
Preempt and remediate exposures first, with the only ASM that scans your entire attack surface every hour. Every finding is validated by a high-signal exposure engine, built and maintained by offensive researchers who discover the zero-days themselves.
Outcomes
From Reactive to Preemptive

Frequently asked questions
Preemptive Threat Exposure Management helps security teams find, validate, and prioritize exposures before they become incidents. It combines visibility into your external attack surface with real-world threat context, so teams can focus on what attackers are actually targeting.
CTEM is about continuously managing exposure. PTEM operationalizes and evolves this by incorporating adversary-informed threat intelligence and real-time attacker insight, shifting from continuous validation to active prediction and prevention of attacks before they are launched.
ASM tells you what is exposed. Threat intelligence tells you what attackers are targeting. You need both to understand which exposures are most urgent, because visibility without context creates noise, and threat data without surface visibility lacks actionable direction.
Traditional ASM tools only help you discover exposures, but struggle to prioritize them against true risk. Knowing what you have doesn't tell you what matters. Searchlight achieves this by automatically validating findings against the exact version of software you're using and enriches those actions with real-attacker threat intelligence. This attacker-centric approach moves you out of the loop of resolving low-value alerts and into a true preemptive risk reduction posture – where you can surface and remediate critical vulnerabilities faster than attackers can exploit them.
