“After many years of working with major organizations on cybersecurity, it’s clear to me that a new solution is required that goes beyond existing security vendor solutions,” said Benigno. “Enterprises face a barrage of new threats every single day, so it’s just common sense that they would use a breach and attack simulation tool to protect their critical assets. I joined XM Cyber because of its innovative approach and leadership in the BAS marketplace. XM Cyber allows organizations to see their network from the eyes of the attacker, running continuously to find and show all the hidden attack vectors that can go under the radar of most protective measures.”
