Searchlight Exposure

Know what's exploitable, fix it before attackers act

Searchlight Exposure ensures your team closes the exposures that matter, not working through a backlog to find them

Out of everything on your attack surface, Searchlight Exposure shows your team the few things an attacker could actually use, each one proven by running the real exploit.

Current Reality

You can’t get ahead of attackers when you can’t tell what’s exploitable

Most attack surface tools discover assets and rank them by severity. But severity doesn’t tell you what an attacker can actually exploit, so a finite team spends its time on findings that were never a real risk, while the exposures that are genuinely exploitable remain open, including ones hiding in third-party software you already run but never assessed.

Act preemptively

Know what's exposed and critical, and act before attackers do. That's the question a severity score can't answer.

The Solution

Validation by exploitation

Every finding arrives proven, with the proof of concept attached. Your team acts on evidence it can see, instead of triaging a list to guess what's real.

Answer what severity can’t

Run your exploit against software in your environment & confirm what’s exploitable before anything reaches the queue

Complete visibility

See your entire exposure fabric, and close the window before attackers act

Searchlight discovers and continuously validates everything across your exposure fabric, including exposures the rest of the market can't see yet, so nothing stays hidden long enough for an attacker to exploit.

faster discovery and validation than other vendors

I asked our SOC Team Leader earlier, how long could we be without Searchlight? Would it be for minutes, hours, days? The response: We couldn’t. The Searchlight ASM solution is a key part of our security program, and we could not do without it.

Key Capabilities

ASM that just works

Every asset type on your external surface

Web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, DNS, certificates, and subdomains, discovered and validated across the whole external surface, so exposure is proven wherever it lives, not just on the assets that were easy to find.

Only what's real reaches you

Searchlight automatically cross-references your assets, including the versions you're running, to verify an exposure is legitimate before alerting your team. You only hear about the exposures that are genuinely exploitable and exposed, not the ones that aren't.

Know it's closed, the moment you fix it

Re-run the original exploit the instant you've remediated, and watch it fail, no waiting for the next scheduled scan while attackers move in hours. Every action is logged, so each exposure is tested, resolved, and recorded with a clear audit trail.

Send findings straight for remediation

Every finding is proven before it lands, so confirmed exposures route straight into Splunk, Jira, and your SIEM or SOAR. The signal is strong enough that some customers send critical ones to engineering with no human review in between.

Searchlight Threat

Exposure tells you what’s exploitable. Threat tells you what’s being targeted

The Searchlight platform shows you where you're being targeted and where you're exposed.

Threat observes the first, Exposure proves the second, and where they meet, the exposures that are both exploitable and actively targeted, rises to the top of your queue.

FAQ

About Searchlight 
Exposure

Most ASM tools discover assets and hand you a list ranked by severity. Searchlight proves what's actually exploitable by running the exploit against the exact software you run, and attaches a proof of concept to every finding. You get a short list of confirmed, real exposures instead of a long list of maybes.

Searchlight runs the real exploit against the exact software in your environment and confirms the vulnerability is genuinely exploitable before it reaches you, then hands your team the proof of concept that verified it. Nothing arrives as a maybe.

Discovery starts from a single asset domain and maps your full external surface, shadow IT, forgotten subdomains, and third-party exposure included. It also finds unknown exposures in the trusted third-party software your organization relies on, the entry points you'd have no way to assess on your own.

Searchlight's research team finds novel vulnerabilities in enterprise software and turns each into a check the platform runs ahead of public disclosure. You often close the exposure weeks or months before the CVE exists, and before the rest of the market knows to look.

The platform is agentless and runs in the browser, with nothing to install. Add your organizational attributes, domains, IP ranges, and cloud identifiers, and Exposure begins surfacing findings within the first session.

Findings flow into Splunk, Jira, and your SIEM, SOAR, and ticketing tools through native integrations, or anywhere else through the API. Exposure feeds the tools your team already works in.
