“Exposure assessment platforms continuously identify and prioritize exposures, such as vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, across a broad range of asset classes. They natively deliver or integrate with discovery capabilities, such as assessment tools, that enumerate exposures, like vulnerabilities and configuration issues, to increase visibility.” — Gartner
Traditional VM tools surface vulnerabilities. SAFE (Balbix) goes further by unifying discovery, prioritization, CRQ, and CTEM workflows into one AI-driven platform. You get explainable risk scoring, business impact context, and automated remediation insights — eliminating noise and focusing teams on the 2 percent of exposures that drive 80 percent of risk.
SAFE (Balbix) provides continuous discovery, continuous prioritization, and continuous validation across assets, identities, applications, and attack paths. With built-in explainability at every level (asset, app, user), security teams can operationalize CTEM in weeks and reliably show measurable risk reduction to executives and the board.
