NorthStar.io Recognized in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2024

Chicago, IL (July 2024) – NorthStar, an innovative vulnerability prioritization and prediction technology, announces the company is recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2024[1]. NorthStar.io is named as a Sample Vendor for the Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) innovation category.

“Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. Gartner Hype Cycle methodology gives you a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of your specific business goals.”[2]

“We’re thrilled to receive recognition for 2 consecutive years for the Cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) category in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2024,“ said Alex Moss, CEO and co-founder of NorthStar. “We believe, our inclusion in the report highlights NorthStar’s commitment to providing the foundational technologies that support successful CTEM programs (Cyber Threat Exposure Management).”

NorthStar Navigator’s powerful data engine fuels risk reduction efforts via simple, contextual vulnerability prioritization for easier remediation and asset visibility. It provides a simple path to vulnerability management maturity, introducing true business context to prioritization, and delivers a data-driven scoring model offering the flexibility, visibility and transparency required to address the exposures that are the most important to each individual organization.

By integrating NorthStar’s prioritization model into vulnerability assessment programs, it acts as an early warning system that gives security and patching teams more time to remediate, more time to plan, and more time to focus on other risk priorities.

“While the cybersecurity industry tends to focus on technical risk, we have hyper focused on factoring business context into exposure management, providing the needed visibility that enables our customers to deliver risk reduction at the intersection of business and technical risk. “said Moss.
