Integrating security and asset data from over 200 connectors, the platform unifies business context and AI-based intelligence into a single pane, offering visibility and enabling risk prioritization and reduction. Nucleus relies on automation to enhance customers' vulnerability management programs. It correlates flaws with real-world threat data from multiple sources, normalizes it, maps assets to specific teams, and uses workflows for faster remediation. According to Nucleus, its vendor-agnostic approach covers exposure across tools, users, environments, and business units, unifies context, and enables coordinated action.
Security vulnerabilities don't fix themselves. Someone needs to track them, prioritize them, and actually ship the fix. If you've ever tried to manage security alerts alongside your regular sprint work, though, you know the friction: you're looking at an alert in one tab, switching to your backlog in another, trying to remember which vulnerability you were supposed to file a bug for.
However, this change has come with some difficulties, since all our business information is stored online there has also been a spike in criminals who want to get profit out of stealing said information or preventing business operations. Just in 2024, the FBI has reported over $16.6 billion in losses related to cybercrime, and this value is only increasing year over year making that an "observable" environment must also be a "secure" one.
SecurityWeek's Attack Surface Management Virtual Summit is now LIVE and runs today from 11AM - 4PM ET. Join the online event where cybersecurity leaders and practitioners will dive into the strategies, tools, and innovations shaping the future of ASM. As digital assets and cloud services continue to expand, defenders are shifting tactics to continuously discover, inventory, classify, prioritize, and monitor their attack surfaces.
But hidden in there is a tiny flaw that explodes into a huge problem once it hits the cloud. Next thing you know, hackers are in, and your company is dealing with a mess that costs millions. Scary, right? In 2025, the average data breach hits businesses with a whopping $4.44 million bill globally. And guess what? A big chunk of these headaches comes from app security slip-ups, like web attacks that snag credentials and wreak havoc.
Compliance-driven penetration testing can leave organizations vulnerable because it typically only covers compliance-relevant vulnerabilities, neglecting deeper security issues that may exist.
