The rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape demands constant innovation and agility, particularly as threats become more sophisticated, pervasive, and unpredictable. CyberProof, a UST company, understands this challenge and is leading the charge to provide businesses with cutting-edge, risk-optimized security solutions. In its latest strategic move, CyberProof has acquired Interpres Security, a Gartner distinguished vendor in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA). This acquisition promises to significantly enhance CyberProof’s security services by providing Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a critical capability in today’s high-stakes cybersecurity environment.
This blog explores the significance of the acquisition, its impact on CyberProof’s offerings, and how it positions the company as a leader in cybersecurity innovation.
A Strategic Acquisition to Address Evolving Threats
As cyber threats continue to evolve at an unprecedented rate, traditional, one-time security assessments are no longer sufficient. The threat landscape has become dynamic, with new vulnerabilities emerging daily. Annual security audits, once considered a reliable measure of an organization’s security posture, can quickly become obsolete as new attack vectors arise. The rise of generative AI and other advanced technologies has further complicated the situation, enabling cybercriminals to develop more effective and adaptive attack methods.
This is where CTEM comes in. Rather than waiting for annual or quarterly assessments, CTEM provides a real-time, ongoing view of an organization’s threat exposure. By continuously analyzing vulnerabilities and threats, organizations can proactively address gaps in their defenses and prioritize their resources where they will have the most impact.
CyberProof’s acquisition of Interpres Security is a response to this pressing need for a more agile, comprehensive approach to threat management. Interpres’ advanced capabilities will empower CyberProof’s clients with a risk-prioritized, continuous view of their security posture. This will help businesses focus on the highest-priority threats targeting their specific industries, locations, and technologies, ensuring that their defenses are always aligned with the most current and relevant risks.
What Interpres Brings to the Table
Interpres Security’s standout feature is its holistic approach to CTEM. Unlike traditional security solutions that primarily focus on detecting and responding to threats, Interpres’ platform offers a comprehensive solution that spans the entire cybersecurity lifecycle. From identifying threat actors and active campaigns to evaluating exposure and defensive gaps, Interpres provides organizations with a clear, actionable roadmap for improving their security posture.
The platform also excels in ASCA, a category in which it has earned significant recognition from Gartner. ASCA is an innovative approach that automates the evaluation of security controls, making it easier for businesses to understand how well their existing defenses align with emerging threats. This level of automation not only streamlines the assessment process but also helps organizations identify potential weaknesses before they become critical issues.
By integrating Interpres’ technology with CyberProof’s suite of services, CyberProof can offer customers a continuous, automated security assessment process that is far more effective than traditional, static evaluations. This capability will allow CyberProof clients to identify, assess, and prioritize their security risks in real time, making it possible to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals.
The CyberProof Advantage: Continuous Threat Exposure Management
CyberProof is already well-known for its managed security services, but this acquisition sets it apart from other providers in the industry. The addition of Interpres Security’s technology makes CyberProof the first and only managed security service provider to offer complete, continuous threat exposure management. This continuous optimization of security solutions is critical in a world where threats evolve rapidly, and static defenses simply cannot keep up.
Tony Velleca, CEO of CyberProof, emphasized the importance of this new capability, stating, “Threats are evolving rapidly, especially with the rise of generative AI. This makes annual, one-time security assessments insufficient in keeping up with these threats. With limited resources, our customers must focus on the actions that proactively reduce their risk the most.”
By leveraging Interpres’ CTEM technology, CyberProof can deliver a dynamic security service that continuously identifies, assesses, and prioritizes risks. This means that organizations will no longer need to wait for the next audit or assessment to discover critical gaps in their defenses. Instead, they will have a real-time, always-on view of their security posture, enabling them to take immediate action to address emerging risks.
Furthermore, the integration of Interpres’ capabilities into CyberProof’s managed security services allows customers to optimize their existing defenses. With CTEM, organizations can determine which security measures are working effectively and which need to be strengthened, ensuring that security resources are deployed where they are most needed.
The Power of UST’s IT Capabilities
CyberProof is part of UST, a global leader in digital and IT services. This relationship provides CyberProof with a wealth of IT expertise and resources, enhancing its ability to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity solutions. By combining the power of UST’s IT infrastructure with the cutting-edge threat exposure management tools from Interpres, CyberProof is well-positioned to provide end-to-end cybersecurity services for enterprises at large scale.
The ability to quickly resolve security exposures is one of the key advantages of this acquisition. UST’s IT capabilities will enable CyberProof to not only identify risks but also respond to them with speed and precision, further reducing the potential impact of cyberattacks.
Interpres Security: A Strong Fit with CyberProof’s Mission
The acquisition of Interpres Security is particularly strategic for CyberProof, as it builds on an already successful partnership. Since late 2023, Interpres has been working alongside CyberProof to enhance its service offerings, providing significant value to customers. The positive outcomes from this collaboration made the acquisition a natural next step, one that strengthens CyberProof’s ability to innovate and expand its service portfolio.
Nick Lantuh, CEO and co-founder of Interpres Security, shared his excitement about the merger, noting, “Partnering with an industry leader like CyberProof—focused on large enterprises and supported by UST, a major digital and IT solutions provider—enables us to scale our innovative CTEM and ASCA solutions and connect with our target audience more effectively.”
The shared vision between the two companies is clear: to empower organizations to continuously monitor, assess, and improve their security postures in the face of evolving cyber threats. Interpres’ founders, who have extensive experience as security service providers for the Department of Defense, bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, making this partnership a powerful combination.
The Future of Cybersecurity: Continuous Threat Exposure Management
As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and the ever-evolving threat landscape, the need for proactive, continuous threat management will only grow. CyberProof’s acquisition of Interpres Security places the company at the forefront of this emerging field, offering clients a comprehensive, always-on solution that helps them stay ahead of cybercriminals.
By integrating CTEM into its portfolio, CyberProof is empowering businesses to not only identify and respond to threats but also to proactively reduce their exposure and optimize their defenses in real time. This is the future of cybersecurity: a dynamic, risk-prioritized approach that enables organizations to continuously adapt to new challenges and stay secure in an increasingly hostile digital world.
In conclusion, CyberProof’s acquisition of Interpres Security represents a major leap forward in the company’s mission to deliver innovative, risk-optimized security services. With continuous threat exposure management now a core offering, CyberProof is uniquely positioned to help organizations protect themselves against the most significant threats targeting their industry, technologies, and locations. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, CyberProof’s enhanced capabilities will provide businesses with the tools they need to stay ahead of emerging risks and maintain a strong, resilient security posture.
