New capabilities give defenders continuous, entity-level visibility and the ability to track attack surface changes with precision
SixMap Inc., a leading preemptive exposure management platform provider, announced the introduction of two major product enhancements: Organization Filtering and Exposure Insights. These capabilities significantly improve how enterprises manage security across large, complex organizational attack surfaces.

Attackers are now using AI to launch near-fully automated campaigns at a scale and speed defenders haven’t had to manage before. Even as attack velocity accelerates, adversarial AI continues to exploit familiar weaknesses: misconfigurations, vulnerable software, and gaps in asset ownership that result in network blind spots. To counter this shift, defenders need technologies that accelerate the fundamentals: knowing what they own, what needs protection, what software is running, and which risks demand immediate mitigation.
That’s where SixMap’s new product enhancements give teams an advantage: clear ownership of each asset and automatic, accurate mapping of exposures to business entities, plus continuous assessments that allow users to view exactly what’s changed in their environment between any two points in time. These new capabilities save time, improve operational efficiency, and reduce risk for the world’s most complex organizations across industries, including financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, public sector, and defense.
Born from national security roots, SixMap takes an entity-first approach. Instead of starting with domains or partial discovery inputs, SixMap maps the whole organizational structure—subsidiaries, operating companies, brands, business units, and regional entities—before running any network discovery. That hierarchy drives every subsequent assessment and eliminates the misattribution issues that slow down defenders and inflate false positives.
“Enterprises lose precious time trying to figure out who owns what before they can fix anything,” said Jason Kaplan, CEO of SixMap. “These new capabilities cut straight through that noise. Customers get clear ownership, clear changes, and clear accountability, which means faster response times and fewer places for high-risk exposures to hide.”
Organization Filtering
Organization Filtering automatically assigns every discovered IP address, domain, exposed service, and vulnerability to the entity that owns it. Security leaders can filter the platform to view the exact assets and exposures for any business unit or subsidiary without tagging, spreadsheets, or cleanup.
Benefits
- Asset attribution: Understanding exactly which entity owns each discovered asset eliminates ambiguity and investigation overhead.
- Zero manual effort: SixMap structures the entire dataset automatically.
- Central oversight: CISOs can pull inventories, check policy alignment, and track exposures for any entity on demand.
- Faster fixes: Risks are tied to owners, cutting out the back-and-forth that delays mitigation.
- Smarter resourcing: Leaders can pinpoint which entities are underperforming and redirect staff or budget accordingly.
Exposure Insights
SixMap continuously runs discovery and assessment procedures. Exposure Insights lets customers compare any two assessments that are days, weeks, or months apart to see the exact delta in IPs, domains, exposed services, and vulnerabilities.
Use Cases
- Preemptive exposure management: Surface new high-risk exposures before attackers find them.
- Executive and board reporting: Clean, defensible change summaries over any timeframe.
- Threat hunting: Spot suspicious infrastructure changes that signal backdoors, data exfiltration points, or attacker staging.
Benefits
- Operational certainty: Customers know exactly when each assessment is completed and what has changed.
- Reduced MTTR: High-risk exposures surface immediately, tightening the response window.
- Better decisions: CISOs can track posture shifts and allocate resources based on evidence.
- Proactive defense: Continuous full-port reviews across the entire digital estate reduce blind spots that attackers hunt for.
Traditional exposure management tools rely heavily on third-party data sources and partial scanning, often inspecting only a small slice of ports across limited address ranges. SixMap’s 6Gen algorithm detects hosts across the IPv4 and IPv6 spaces with high precision. Combined with SixMap’s independently operated ISP, the platform inspects all 65,535 ports on every discovered host each assessment. This produces verified, complete data rather than noisy or incomplete reports that require customers to filter and validate on their own.
