ReliaQuest Launches GreyMatter Discover – Helping Security Teams Uncover and Take Action on Risks They Can’t See

ReliaQuest, the leader in AI-powered security operations, today launched GreyMatter Discover. A first-of-its-kind, GreyMatter Discover not only allows security teams to see all their exposures, but also to prioritize and immediately act on them. Built natively within ReliaQuest’s AI-powered security operations platform, GreyMatter Discover delivers outcomes that traditional cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) solutions can’t.

Enterprise companies are in the middle of a digital transformation, with more devices and data scattered across more places than ever before, dramatically increasing their attack surface This often leaves security teams in the dark around their asset and identity inventory. As a result, nearly 70% of ransomware attacks originate from unknown and unmanaged devices. Once attackers gain access to an organization’s environment, they can move laterally within as little as 27 minutes, according to the ReliaQuest Annual Threat Report. Security teams don’t have the luxury of spending hours chasing down basic details on their assets and identities or simply hoping they can see enough of their environment to defend it.

ReliaQuest’s GreyMatter platform has the ability to access an organization’s telemetry across any data source, enabling highly accurate detections and the use of automated containment and response playbooks. GreyMatter Discover uses this telemetry to provide awareness and context of assets and identities across all technologies. This allows security teams to uncover exposures and resolve them directly in the GreyMatter platform. This context also helps inform GreyMatter’s AI Agent to make even smarter decisions more quickly.

GreyMatter Discover complements the GreyMatter Digital Risk Protection (DRP) solution, which provides continuous visibility into all external exposures—delivering a 360-degree view of an organization’s internal and external attack surface.

“Security operations teams need to keep pace with the constantly expanding attack surface and continuously growing list of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats to their critical assets and users,” said Brian Foster, ReliaQuest’s President of Product and Technical Operations. “We built GreyMatter Discover because we know security teams don’t just need another tool. They need more complete visibility and the ability to take action in one place. Our approach reimagines attack surface management as an integral component of security operations and proactive threat containment.”

Patrick O’Keefe, Head of Global Cyber Security at Circle K said: “Having this solution within GreyMatter makes perfect sense. We have to perform asset and vulnerability discovery continuously. Our business moves fast, and even adding a simple IoT device like a digital sign alters our attack surface. Having a dynamic solution that continuously scans our environment in a way that’s integrated into our security operations platform will be extremely valuable.”

Carl Lee, Information Security Manager of Cyber Defense Operations at APi Group added: “APi Group does a lot of M&A, and our whole attack surface constantly changes every time we start to onboard a new company. It’s important that we have visibility into this as soon as possible. We currently do this with multitude of tools, but having this capability within GreyMatter would streamline this process and enable us to fix vulnerabilities faster, make better decisions and prioritize differently.”
