CODA INTELLIGENCE

What CODA INTELLIGENCE does

CODA Intelligence is a private US-based cybersecurity software company founded in 2016 that sells the Footprint platform, an AI-powered Attack Surface Management (ASM) solution. The platform is organized around three modules: Full Attack Surface Visibility (asset discovery across on-premises and cloud, internal and external, agentless and agent-based, blackbox and whitebox); Contextual Prioritization (correlating application-level exploits with infrastructure misconfigurations using more than 30 temporal and environmental data points per attack vector); and Effective Remediation (AI-assisted collaborative workflows with automated progress tracking, notifications, and reporting). Proprietary components include the EVE embedded vulnerability intelligence engine and the CRSS automated exploit validation system, both designed to filter noise and focus security teams on exploitable threats rather than the full universe of detected vulnerabilities.

The company's business model is a SaaS subscription with pay-per-use pricing billed only for live monitored assets, with CODA claiming 50-90% cost reduction versus traditional vulnerability management. Distribution is channel-first: CODA describes Footprint as the first ASM platform purpose-built for service providers and operates a channel-only GTM for the MSSP segment, with named partners including Silversky, Solutions Granted, High Wire Networks, 11:11 Systems, Blokworx, DoD Security, and DefenseStorm. A flagship OEM relationship embeds a CODA-developed component inside SAP's RAVEN risk management service on Enterprise Cloud Services. Direct sales are supported via website demo and free trial CTAs, and the platform integrates with more than 40 technology partners spanning endpoint security, SIEM, SOAR, identity, cloud infrastructure, and professional services automation. The customer base spans MSSPs and MSPs (primary), enterprise security teams, and the SAP ECS Cloud ecosystem, with a notable vertical push into credit unions and financial institutions through DefenseStorm and Silversky co-marketing.

Core offering

CODA Intelligence develops Footprint, an AI-powered attack surface management (ASM) and exploit mitigation SaaS platform. It provides full visibility across on-premises and cloud assets, contextually prioritizes truly exploitable attack vectors, and enables AI-assisted collaborative remediation, delivered largely through MSP/MSSP channel partners.

Product overview

CODA Intelligence offers the CODA Footprint platform, an AI-powered Attack Surface Management (ASM) solution. The platform consists of three core modules: Full Attack Surface Visibility (for asset discovery and compliance), Contextual Prioritization (for correlating exploits with misconfigurations), and Effective Remediation (for AI-assisted collaborative workflows). Key AI features include EVE (Embedded Vulnerability Intelligence) and CRSS (Critical Exploit Validation) for automated exploit assessment. The platform is available in both enterprise and MSSP-specific variants with REST API and SDK support.

Direct peers

• Tenable: Tenable is the closest direct peer to CODA in External Attack Surface Management and vulnerability management, with Tenable Nessus and Tenable One offering ASM/VM capabilities. Both vendors target the same problem of prioritizing exploitable vulnerabilities across on-prem and cloud, and both sell through MSSP programs.
• Cycognito: CyCognito is an external attack surface management and digital risk protection platform built for enterprise SecOps and MSSPs, with continuous discovery of exposed assets and risk-based prioritization. It is the closest direct competitor in the pure-play EASM category and addresses the same buyer use cases as Footprint.
• Qualys: Qualys VMDR and the Qualys Cloud Platform deliver cloud-based vulnerability management, asset discovery, and threat prioritization as a SaaS subscription. Like CODA, Qualys sells to enterprise security teams and MSSPs, with overlapping positioning around continuous assessment and risk-based prioritization.
• Rapid7: Rapid7 InsightVM and InsightConnect span vulnerability management, exposure analytics, and SOAR — overlapping heavily with CODA's Footprint exposure and remediation workflows. Both compete for enterprise SecOps budgets and MSSP partners, with comparable channel motions and prioritization/value-based-risk messaging.

Others

• Bugcrowd: Bugcrowd is a crowdsourced vulnerability validation platform that complements rather than competes with VM/ASM tooling. It is thematically adjacent to CODA's exploit-validation (CRSS) thesis of confirming true exposure rather than theoretical vulnerability.

Emerging players

• Holm Security: Holm Security is a SaaS vulnerability management and ASM vendor with a partner-first motion toward MSSPs and MSPs in Europe and the US. It directly overlaps CODA's Footprint functionality (asset discovery, prioritization, remediation workflows) while pursuing the same MSSP channel.
• Bitsight: Bitsight offers external attack surface management, continuous monitoring, and cyber risk quantification aligned to business risk — an adjacent positioning to CODA's exploit-validation and business-impact framing. It is a meaningful emerging competitor in the ASM/risk-prioritization space.
• Wiz: Wiz provides cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud-native application protection that includes attack-path analysis and prioritization across cloud workloads — overlapping directly with CODA's blackbox/whitebox cloud-workload visibility. It is a fast-scaling emerging competitor in cloud attack-surface analysis.

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike's Falcon Surface (built on the Reposify acquisition) and Falcon Spotlight deliver external ASM and vulnerability prioritization as part of the broader Falcon endpoint/cloud platform. CrowdStrike appears in CODA's integration ecosystem (endpoint security validation), confirming direct overlap while bundling ASM as a feature inside a much larger platform.
• Microsoft (Defender EASM / Exposure Management): Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management (built on the RiskIQ acquisition) and Microsoft Security Exposure Management offer EASM, asset inventory, and risk prioritization natively tied to the Azure/M365 stack. This is the dominant incumbent bundled play that compresses standalone ASM vendors; CODA's Azure AD/Active Directory integrations compete for the same workflow.
