Infocyte ASSESS
Purpose-built for Threat Assessments
Discover hidden threats — past and present — with the only agentless SaaS platform built for independent threat hunting and cost-effective assessments.
What is a Threat Assessment?
As threats evolve to bypass prevention technologies and controls, organizations must periodically validate their IT environments are secure and controls are working properly. The challenge with this is that often an independent review is needed to get a clear, comprehensive picture of your security posture including vulnerabilities and possible cyber threats. Bringing in an external partner adds complexity, time, and often many teams don’t know where to begin when choosing a threat assessment vendor.
Another challenge is that traditional security assessments only evaluate vulnerabilities and risks of future compromise, they often do not look at past exposure, vulnerabilities, and risks.
Lastly, organizations must consider that some assessments require a permanently installed agent running 24/7 to detect threats on an endpoint.

Agentless vs. Agents
Most endpoint detection tools require a permanently installed agent running 24/7 to detect threats on an endpoint. While agents and agentless methods have tradeoffs, the agentless method is preferred in periodic or one-time assessment use cases by both analysts and businesses.

Use Cases
Mergers and Acquisitions
During M&A transactions, Infocyte ASSESS provides buyers with critical technical diligence needed to ensure they are not accepting unnecessary risk from existing compromises. When feasible, a Compromise Assessment should be conducted during the due diligence phase, or at least prior to merging networks.
Cyber Threat Hunting
Many organizations don't have an in-house threat hunting team. It has become common practice for such organizations to periodically bring in security service providers armed with a threat hunting platform like Infocyte ASSESS to hunt for signs of compromise that may have snuck past security controls and monitoring systems.
Insurance Providers
Data Breach and Cyber Risk Insurance providers use Infocyte ASSESS as a pre-existing conditions check, prior to issuing a policy. Insurance providers also use Infocyte as a periodic checkup to validate the insured party is making necessary efforts to detect and report security incidents.
Security Program Validation
Whether they struggle with security or employ best-in-class tools, Infocyte ASSESS can validate the effectiveness of current security measures. Infocyte ASSESS identifies any threats that may have evaded security controls and helps you close gaps and eliminate blind spots.
Post-Incident Verification
A common tactic utilized by persistent attackers is the placement of an alternate backdoor within a network. This tactic ensures that an attacker can maintain access to a network in the event their primary mode of access is discovered and eliminated. After a security incident, Infocyte ASSESS helps verify that no other hidden egress points remain and that the cleanup process was successful.
