- SaaS platform for Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) to proactively 
identify security blind spots before hackers do 

FireCompass [https://www.firecompass.com/] today unveils its new artificial 
intelligence powered Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) platform that 
mimics thousands of hackers trying to break into an organization. The solution 
enables organizations to launch continuous safe attacks to identify blind spots 
before hackers do. Created by a team of serial cybersecurity entrepreneurs, 
FireCompass' product is already being used by top companies, including Sprint 
(now a part of T-Mobile), Security Innovation and others spanning multiple 
industries.

    A hack is executed every 39 seconds and impacts one in three Americans 
every year. According to Gartner [ 
https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/3986434/how-to-respond-to-the-2020-threat-landscape], 
"Nation-state actors and criminal organizations operate with a level of 
sophistication that surpasses the preventative and detection capabilities of 
most security and risk management teams."

    "Organizations typically conduct security testing only a few times a year 
on a partial list of online assets, excluding shadow IT unknown to security 
teams. Meanwhile, hackers are always attempting attacks on the entirety of 
their assets," said Bikash Barai, Co-Founder of FireCompass. "At FireCompass, 
our vision is to make Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) available to all 
so that organizations can discover and test all their assets at all times – 
just like real attackers do."

    FireCompass is reinventing traditional red teaming using the power of AI 
and SaaS. The solution runs continuously without the need for software, 
hardware or additional employee resources. It indexes the deep, dark and 
surface web using similar reconnaissance techniques as nation-state actors. The 
platform automatically discovers an organization's ever-changing digital attack 
surface, including unknown exposed databases, cloud buckets, code leaks, 
exposed credentials, risky cloud assets and open ports, etc. The attack engine 
then launches multi-stage attacks, which includes network attacks, application 
attacks and social engineering attacks, on the discovered digital surface to 
identify attack paths that are otherwise missed by conventional tools.
 
    FireCompass' CART uniquely combines Attack Surface Management (ASM), and 
multiple security testing technologies, eliminating the need for multiple tools 
and significant manual effort. With FireCompass, scans that once took weeks and 
months can now be completed in hours or days. FireCompass' key capabilities 
include:

    - Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART)
      Continuous safe attacks to test the effectiveness of security investments 
and discover security blind spots. 

    - Attack Surface Management (ASM) & Shadow IT Discovery
      Identification of orphaned domains/subdomains, risky IPs, exposed 
database/cloud buckets, code leaks, leaked credentials, exposed 
test/pre-production systems and Shadow IT risks. 

    - Ransomware Attack Surface Monitoring
      Internet scans to discover risky assets that can be exploited by malware 
and ransomware.

    "To our surprise, FireCompass has exceeded our expectations," said a Risk 
Manager at Sprint (now a part of T-Mobile). "The tool has demonstrated 
reliability in the findings, and FireCompass has proven to be a valuable 
service provider."

    Founded by industry veterans Bikash Barai, Nilanjan De and Priyanka Aash, 
FireCompass is backed by prominent investors and venture capitalist funds. The 
founders' previous endeavors include iViZ, which was acquired by 
Cigital/Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and CISO Platform 
[https://www.cisoplatform.com/], one of the largest communities of CISOs and 
security executives in the world. The team has multiple patents in IT security 
and have broken the best cybersecurity products, including McAfee, Microsoft 
Bit Locker, Sophos, AVG etc.

    "FireCompass, with its veteran team and deep domain expertise, is well 
positioned to change the way the industry does red teaming today," said Som Pal 
Choudhury, FireCompass Investor, Board Member, and Partner at Bharat Innovation 
Fund.
