Ivanti Neurons for RBVM
Ivanti
Ivanti Neurons for RBVM is a risk-based vulnerability management platform designed to help organizations prioritize and remediate cybersecurity risks efficiently. It continuously correlates vulnerability data, threat intelligence, and business asset criticality to provide a contextualized view of risk. The platform automates remediation workflows, including SLA management and real-time alerts, to accelerate vulnerability closure. Role-based access controls and customizable dashboards foster collaboration across security teams from SOC to C-suite. Ivanti’s proprietary Vulnerability Risk Rating (VRR) prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real-world threat context rather than severity alone. This enables security teams to focus on the most critical risks and reduce exposure to ransomware and other cyber threats. -

OWASP ZAP
OWASP
OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) is a free, open-source penetration testing tool being maintained under the umbrella of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). ZAP is designed specifically for testing web applications and is both flexible and extensible. At its core, ZAP is what is known as a “man-in-the-middle proxy.” It stands between the tester’s browser and the web application so that it can intercept and inspect messages sent between browser and web application, modify the contents if needed, and then forward those packets on to the destination. It can be used as a stand-alone application, and as a daemon process. ZAP provides functionality for a range of skill levels – from developers, to testers new to security testing, to security testing specialists. ZAP has versions for each major OS and Docker, so you are not tied to a single OS. Additional functionality is freely available from a variety of add-ons in the ZAP Marketplace, accessible from within the ZAP client. -

21
SynerComm
SynerComm
SynerComm’s CASM (continuous attack surface management) Engine platform uses vulnerability analysis and human-led penetration testing to proactively search for vulnerabilities in your attack surface. Any vulnerabilities that are discovered are documented and forwarded to your team, along with our mitigation and remediation suggestions. Our CASM Engine platform does more than just look for vulnerabilities: it also gives you and your team an accurate inventory of your digital assets. Our platform typically unearths 20% to 100% more assets than the client was aware they even had. Unmanaged systems often become more vulnerable over time as new security gaps and shortcomings are discovered by attackers. Without ongoing management, these vulnerabilities aren’t addressed, leaving your entire network compromised. -
22
SafeBreach
SafeBreach
The biggest reason security controls fail is that their improperly configured, or drifted over time. Maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the security controls you have by seeing how they perform in orchestration during an attack. Then fix the gaps before attackers can find them. How safe is your enterprise against known and emerging threats? Pinpoint security gaps with precision. Safely run the latest attacks seen in the wild using the most comprehensive playbook in the industry and integrations with threat intelligence solutions. Proactively report to executives on your risk posture. And get a mitigation plan in place before attackers exploit the gaps. The fastly changing cloud environment, and the different security model, introduces a challenge in visibility and enforcement of cloud security. Validate your cloud and container security by executing attacks that test your cloud control (CSPM) and data (CWPP) planes to ensure the security of your critical cloud operations. -
23
Mandiant Security Validation
Google
The general assumption is that breach and attack simulation provides a comprehensive view of an organization’s cyber security posture. It does not. Many traditional BAS vendors have begun to label themselves as security validation. Use the latest global threat and adversary intelligence to focus resources on specific and relevant threats facing your organization. Emulate authentic, active attack binaries and destructive attacks, including malware and ransomware. Conduct real attacks across the full attack lifecycle with deep and comprehensive integration with your entire security infrastructure. Cyber security effectiveness needs to be objectively measured on an ongoing basis, not only to ensure the systems and tools in place are reducing an organization’s exposure to risk, but also to support CISOs who are being asked to measurably improve and demonstrate the value of their security investments to key stakeholders. -

BeEF
BeEF
BeEF is short for The Browser Exploitation Framework. It is a penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser. Amid growing concerns about web-borne attacks against clients, including mobile clients, BeEF allows the professional penetration tester to assess the actual security posture of a target environment by using client-side attack vectors. Unlike other security frameworks, BeEF looks past the hardened network perimeter and client system, and examines exploitability within the context of the one open door: the web browser. BeEF will hook one or more web browsers and use them as beachheads for launching directed command modules and further attacks against the system from within the browser context. The BeEF project uses GitHub to track issues and host its git repository. To checkout a non-read only copy or for more information please refer to GitHub. -

sqlmap
sqlmap
sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out-of-band connections. Support to directly connect to the database without passing via a SQL injection, by providing DBMS credentials, IP address, port and database name. Automatic recognition of password hash formats and support for cracking them using a dictionary-based attack. Support to dump database tables entirely, a range of entries or specific columns as per user's choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each column's entry. -
