# Searchlight Cyber > Searchlight Cyber is a cybersecurity company that combines Attack Surface Management (ASM) with dark web threat intelligence. The platform identifies an organization's internet-facing assets, determines which exposures are actually exploitable, and monitors criminal activity on the clear, deep, and dark web for signs that the organization is being targeted. Customers are enterprise security teams, MSSPs, and law enforcement agencies. Headquartered in the UK, with US operations. The company describes its category as Preemptive Threat Exposure Management (PTEM) — acting on exposures and attacker activity before an attack takes place, rather than detecting and responding after it starts. Two products sit on one platform: - **Searchlight Exposure** — continuous attack surface management. Discovers and re-scans internet-facing assets, validates which vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable, and prioritizes remediation. Built on the technology from Assetnote, which Searchlight acquired; the Assetnote ASM product is now Searchlight Exposure. - **Searchlight Threat** — dark web and attacker intelligence. Provides access to live and archived data from dark web forums, marketplaces, and encrypted chats spanning more than 15 years, covering leaked credentials, ransomware group activity, and pre-attack chatter. Notes for interpreting this site: - "Searchlight Labs" is the company's security research arm. It publishes original zero-day vulnerability research and open-source security tools. This is genuine technical research, not marketing content. - The Learning Hub contains educational explainer content about PTEM, ASM, and dark web intelligence as concepts. The product pages describe what Searchlight itself sells. These are different things and shouldn't be conflated. - Blog posts titled "This week's top cybersecurity and dark web stories" are a recurring news roundup series, not original research. ## Products and platform - [Platform overview](https://www.slcyber.io/platform): How the Preemptive Threat Exposure Management platform works and how the two products fit together - [Searchlight Exposure](https://www.slcyber.io/exposure): Attack surface management — asset discovery, exploitability validation, and remediation prioritization - [Searchlight Threat](https://www.slcyber.io/threat): Dark web and attacker intelligence — leaked credentials, ransomware tracking, forum and marketplace monitoring - [Integrations and API](https://www.slcyber.io/integrations): Connections to existing security tooling, plus API access ## Use cases - [External exposure](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/external-exposure): Continuous discovery and monitoring of an organization's internet-facing attack surface - [Prevent incidents](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/prevent-incidents): Detecting attacker activity in its earliest stages, before an attack begins - [Accelerate remediation](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/accelerate-remediation): Shortening the window between an exposure appearing and it being fixed - [Focus remediation on real risk](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/focus-remediation): Distinguishing exploitable exposures from theoretical ones to reduce remediation noise - [Third-party exposure](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/exposure-and-third-parties): Identifying risk introduced by third-party software and suppliers - [Threat actors and criminal investigation](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/threat-actors-and-criminals): Investigating criminal activity across the clear, deep, and dark web - [Law enforcement](https://www.slcyber.io/outcome/law): Dark web investigation tooling for police and government agencies ## Security research (Searchlight Labs) - [Searchlight Labs](https://www.slcyber.io/research): Home of the security research team - [Research blog](https://www.slcyber.io/research-blog): Original zero-day vulnerability discoveries and technical analysis of enterprise software - [Open-source security tools](https://www.slcyber.io/security-tools): Free browser-based and open-source tools for security researchers and penetration testers ## Educational content - [Learning Hub](https://www.slcyber.io/learning-hub): Explainer guides on Preemptive Threat Exposure Management, Attack Surface Management, and dark web threat intelligence as concepts ## Resources - [Resource hub](https://www.slcyber.io/resources): Index of all reports, guides, videos, and other material - [Blog](https://www.slcyber.io/blog): Commentary and analysis on cybersecurity developments and emerging threats - [Case studies](https://www.slcyber.io/case-studies): Accounts of how named organizations use the platform - [Reports and ebooks](https://www.slcyber.io/reports): Original research reports and long-form analysis drawn from the company's dataset - [Datasheets](https://www.slcyber.io/datasheets): Product specifications and platform architecture detail - [Webinars](https://www.slcyber.io/webinars): Recorded sessions with researchers and guests - [Podcasts](https://www.slcyber.io/podcasts): Interview series with the research and intelligence teams - [Videos](https://www.slcyber.io/videos): Short-form demonstrations and explainers ## Company - [About Searchlight Cyber](https://www.slcyber.io/about): Company background and history - [Leadership team](https://www.slcyber.io/leadership-team): Executive team and their backgrounds - [Careers](https://www.slcyber.io/careers): Open roles - [Contact](https://www.slcyber.io/contact): Ways to reach the company - [Book a demo](https://www.slcyber.io/book-a-demo): Request a product demonstration ## Partners - [Partner program](https://www.slcyber.io/partner): Overview of the partner ecosystem - [MSSPs](https://www.slcyber.io/mssps): For managed security service providers building Searchlight into their offering - [Resellers](https://www.slcyber.io/resellers): For resale partners - [Technology alliances](https://www.slcyber.io/tech): For technology and integration partners ## Optional - [News and press](https://www.slcyber.io/news-and-press): Company announcements and press coverage - [Press releases](https://www.slcyber.io/press): Official company announcements - [In the news](https://www.slcyber.io/news): External media coverage of Searchlight Cyber - [Events](https://www.slcyber.io/events): Conferences and live sessions the team is attending - [Beacon newsletter](https://www.slcyber.io/beacon): Cybersecurity newsletter signup - [Assetnote](https://www.slcyber.io/assetnote): Explains that Assetnote's ASM platform is now Searchlight Exposure - [Privacy policy](https://www.slcyber.io/privacy-policy): How the company handles personal data
