Security Outcome
Focus remediation on the exposures that pose real risk
Searchlight proves which exposures are genuinely exploitable by running the real exploit against your environment, and shows you which ones attackers are actually targeting. Your team fixes real risk first, instead of working through a backlog of findings.
The challenge
Severity scores don’t tell you what an attacker can exploit
Most tools rank findings by severity, and severity is a theory: how bad a vulnerability could be, not whether it's exploitable or likely to be targeted in your environment. So teams burn time on critical-rated findings that were never a real risk, while the exploitable ones sit open. Attackers don't care about severity scores – they care about exploitability.
Searchlight validates every exposure
It is running the actual exploit, so your team starts from a list of confirmed, exploitable findings with the proof attached.
How you gain focus
From a ranked backlog to a prioritized short list
Validated before it reaches your team
Searchlight runs the actual exploit against the exact software in your environment, confirmed against the version you run rather than matched to a CVE list, before anything enters your queue. Theoretical vulnerabilities and false positives are filtered out ahead of triage, and every finding arrives categorized, with its proof of concept attached.
Prioritized by attacker relevance
Confirmed exposures are ranked by real-world risk: the ones affected by emerging vulnerabilities, and the ones attackers are actively targeting. Your queue reflects attacker behavior, not a scoring model.
Confirmed gone
A fix isn't complete until the original exploit no longer works. Searchlight instantly verifies each mitigation against the exploit that proved the finding, so the backlog shrinks for real, with an audit trail behind every closure.
Use cases
Remediation effort where it matters
Vulnerability management teams
Vulnerability management teams cut the backlog down to confirmed, exploitable findings: no false positives to chase, no noise to triage, and clear evidence behind every alert that reaches you.
Security operations teams
Security operations teams act on the exposures attackers are genuinely moving on, with the actor context and MITRE ATT&CK mapping already attached, before those exposures become incidents.
Engineering teams
Engineering teams get findings they can trust: the proof of concept, the asset's full context attached, and a retest that confirms each fix worked.

Real risk is exploitable and already being discussed
PTEM Platform by Searchlight
Proving what's exploitable is one half of Preemptive Threat Exposure Management. The Searchlight platform adds what attackers are actually targeting, so the exposures that are both exploitable and actively targeted rise to the top of your queue and move straight to remediation.
Preempt and remediate exposures first, with the only ASM that scans your clients’ entire 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 and act as an extension of your team.
Real-world attacker context. Monitor and investigate pre-attack indicators, including leaked credentials, dark web traffic, and secure access to cybercriminal forum chatter – empowering your SOC to preempt attacks against your customers by identifying malicious activity earlier in the Cyber Kill Chain.

FAQ
About Searchlight for security teams
Searchlight doesn't rely on noisy CVE matching, it validates exploitability directly: the actual exploit runs against the exact software version in your environment, and an exposure is confirmed genuinely exploitable before it reaches your team, with the proof of concept attached.
Validation happens before alerting, so theoretical vulnerabilities and false positives are filtered out ahead of your queue. What lands is a short list of confirmed exposures, already categorized and prioritized by attacker relevance, in place of a backlog to triage. The signal is strong enough that some customers route critical findings straight to engineering, with no security review in between.
Searchlight observes which exposures attackers are actively discussing and targeting, and moves those to the top of your queue with the actor context attached. Two findings with the same severity score can carry very different real-world risk, and your prioritization follows the risk.
Re-run the original exploit on demand the moment remediation ships and confirm it fails, with every test logged for the audit trail. For cutting the overall time an exposure stays open, from detection to verified closure, see Reduce the time between exposure and remediation.
