WithSecure soars up and right in Gartner Magic Quadrant
WithSecure recognized in the first-ever 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms
WithSecure is proud to be named a Visionary in this Gartner® Magic Quadrant™, and one of the two European headquartered vendors included in the report
“We believe this recognition validates our strategic shift to offer proactive security capabilities accessible by mid-sized companies and MSPs looking for a European cyber security option,” says Nina Laaksonen, Chief Product Officer at WithSecure.
The first report for a new technology market
Based on Gartner, exposure assessment platforms (EAPs) discover, analyze and prioritize an organization’s exposures, such as vulnerabilities, gaps in compliance, unmanaged assets and asset misconfigurations across organizational attack surfaces, including (but not limited to) external, internal, cloud and end-user. This is the first version of the Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms. It replaces the Market Guide for Vulnerability Assessment.
The shift to more proactive security
Gartner positioned WithSecure as a Visionary in this inaugural report. We are proud to be recognized by Gartner as we believe it validates our strategic shift to offer more proactive security capabilities accessible by resource constrained midsized companies and managed service providers (MSPs) looking for a European cyber security option.
“We believe being a Visionary is result of our innovative approach, like patent pending heuristic exposure hunting as a native Adversarial Exposure Validation capability.”
Nina Laaksonen
Chief Product Officer, WithSecure
What is WithSecure Elements Exposure Management?
WithSecure's cloud-native Exposure Assessments Platform with extensive built-in attack surface coverage across internal and external networks, managed and unmanaged devices, applications, cloud platforms and identities. WithSecure’s solution includes:
Agent-based and agentless approaches with network-based scanning designed to cover network infrastructure, Operational Technology (OT) and IoT devices.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) to form a broad coverage that is sometimes referred as an Extended Security Posture Management (XSPM).
WithSecure’s solution also includes patent-pending attack path modeling for Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) capabilities which we believe falls under Gartner Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) category.
The core purpose of EAPs is to provide a better, consolidated view of high-risk exposures enabling organizations to take key proactive actions to prevent breaches.
