The Preemptive Threat Exposure Management Platform
One platform that validates what's exploitable on your attack surface and observes the attackers preparing against it, so threats get resolved before an attack begins.
Exploitation timelines are shrinking
The time between a vulnerability existing and an attacker exploiting it has collapsed. Security teams can't afford to wait for disclosure and react. That's why preemptive security exists.
8 hours
mean time to exploit in 2026, down from 56 days in 2024 and 2.3 years in 2018.
(Zero Day Clock)
78.3%
of CVEs in 2026 were exploited as zero-days, up from 16% in 2018.
(Zero Day Clock)
50%
of security spend will go to preemptive approaches by 2030, up from under 5% in 2024.

How it works
Know what's exposed. Know what's critical.
Searchlight Exposure
Discovers and validates everything attackers can see, each finding proven with a working proof of concept, so your team can move straight to remediation.
Searchlight Threat
Surfaces attacker intelligence, from leaked credentials to chatter about your brand.
Where the two meet
The work that matters is where the two meet: the exposures that are genuinely exploitable and actively targeted at the same time.

Up and running in minutes
You can be up and running in minutes on the agentless platform, with the first scan delivering results within the hour. There’s nothing to deploy and nothing to install.
Tailored to your organization
Searchlight reflects how your team works, with the option to manage access by team, region, brand, and more. You only pay for what you choose to monitor, and can easily swap assets in or out as priorities change, so the platform maps to your structure rather than the other way around.
The platform grows with you
Searchlight scales as your attack surface grows, organically or through mergers and acquisitions. Discovery takes in a new subsidiary or acquired company from a single asset domain, so growth never means inheriting exposures you can’t see.
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.
FAQ
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.
Both Searchlight Exposure and Searchlight threat work on their own, and they’re stronger together. Searchlight Exposure tells you what’s exploitable on your attack surface. Searchlight Threat tells you what attackers are targeting. Run together, the platform prioritizes the exposures that are both exploitable and actively targeted, so you can rapidly remediate the ones that matter. Many teams start with one product and add the other as their program matures.
Most ASM tools discover assets and hand you a list ranked by severity. Searchlight discovers your full attack surface every hour, not once a day, proves what’s actually exploitable by running the exploit, and orders findings by what attackers are genuinely targeting. You get a short list of confirmed, real exposures instead of a backlog of maybes.
Searchlight’s approach cuts through the noise. Every finding is validated as exploitable before it reaches you, and prioritized by real attacker activity, so what lands in your queue is already real and already ranked. The goal is fewer, better alerts, not more of them.
The Searchlight platform is API-first. Findings, alerts, and surface changes flow into Splunk, Jira, and your SIEM, SOAR, and ticketing tools through native integrations, or anywhere else through the API. Searchlight feeds the tools your team already works in rather than replacing them.
The platform is agentless and runs in the browser, with nothing to install. Your team adds organizational attributes, domains, IP ranges, cloud identifiers, and the platform begins surfacing exposure within the first session.
Yes. Searchlight holds ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, and CCS, and is audited against international standards for handling sensitive intelligence and customer data. The platform was built for government and law enforcement customers, so it’s held to a higher bar than most security tools are asked to meet.
