WithSecure has been recognized as a Visionary in first-ever 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms, which WithSecure feels highlights its innovative approach to proactive cyber security and its growing influence in the global exposure management market.

Helsinki, Finland – November 14, 2025: WithSecure™ has been named a Visionary in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms, positioning the company among the 20 evaluated vendors recognized for exposure management.

WithSecure is one of only two European vendors included in the report, and the sole European vendor recognized as a Sample Vendor in the Exposure Assessment Platforms category in Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations, 2025 earlier this year.

“We believe this recognition validates our strategic shift to offer proactive security capabilities accessible by mid-sized companies and managed service providers looking for a European cyber security option,” says Nina Laaksonen, Chief Product Officer at WithSecure. 

Based on Gartner, Visionaries in the EAP market are recognized for their technical innovation or unique product approaches, but may lack the execution track record, market visibility, or organizational scale of more established vendors. WithSecure feels the report marks a significant milestone in the evolution of exposure management as a critical component of modern security operations. WithSecure sees that inclusion in this category underscores its role as a forward-thinking force in exposure management, and its growing influence in the global cyber security landscape.

“We believe being a Visionary is a result of our innovative approach. Our patent-pending heuristic exposure hunting and native Adversarial Exposure Validation capabilities are designed to empower MSPs and mid-sized organizations with accessible, effective cyber defense – especially those seeking a European alternative,” says Laaksonen.
