- Bitsight External Attack Surface Management
Best for: Teams reporting cyber risk to boards and insurers
It earns a place because Bitsight IQ ties each discovered asset to the entity that owns it, and cloud IP addresses sync from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud several times a day. That suits a company with many subsidiaries or suppliers to map. Ask how attribution gets checked, since an asset tied to the wrong entity sends work to the wrong owner.
