What Nopsec does

NopSec is a privately held cybersecurity software company founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York City, operating in the Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) market. Its core platform unifies five functional modules, Aggregate, Prioritize, Operationalize, Validate, and Insight, to ingest vulnerability data from scanners, CMDBs, threat intelligence feeds, and cloud security tools; prioritize vulnerabilities using a patented machine-learning algorithm correlated against 80+ threat intelligence sources; map and validate attack paths; automate remediation workflows via bi-directional ITSM integration; and produce business-line-level reporting for executive stakeholders.

The company's technology stack is scanner-agnostic with deep integrations across Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, AWS Security Hub, Azure Security Center, Wiz, ServiceNow, and BMC Remedy. In 2025, NopSec launched a Continuous Adversarial Emulation product built on AI Agentic multi-agent orchestration that autonomously emulates a human penetration tester across a five-phase methodology, with human-in-the-loop oversight and a $2,999 Platform Starter entry point. This product, alongside the broader CTEM platform, targets the convergence of vulnerability management and continuous security validation.

NopSec monetizes primarily through annual or multi-year enterprise subscriptions to the CTEM platform, supplemented by managed vulnerability management services, professional penetration testing engagements, and the JumpStart migration program for Cisco/Kenna customers. The customer base spans enterprise and mid-market organizations across financial services, media and entertainment, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and cloud services, with named accounts including Carrier, Cox, Warner Bros, Urban One, Hearst, Batteries Plus, OneMain Financial, Logicworks, and Gruss Capital. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales complemented by AWS Marketplace, CrowdStrike App Store, and integration-driven channel partnerships, supported by content marketing, webinars, podcasts, and analyst relations.

Core offering

NopSec sells a Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) software platform that aggregates vulnerability data from multiple scanners, prioritizes risks using patented machine-learning algorithms, maps attack paths, automates remediation workflows, and provides reporting for enterprise security teams. The company also offers AI Agentic adversarial emulation (continuous penetration testing) and managed vulnerability management and penetration testing professional services.

Product overview

NopSec offers a unified Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform that consolidates vulnerability management, prioritization, remediation, and validation into a single console. The platform is architected as a core CTEM platform with five integrated modules: Discover (for data aggregation), Prioritize (machine-learning-based risk scoring), Operationalize (remediation workflow automation), Simulate (attack path mapping), and Measure (security insights and reporting). The platform is complemented by an AI Agentic Pen Testing product (Continuous Adversarial Emulation) for automated penetration testing, professional services including Managed Vulnerability Management and Penetration Testing, and specialized modules for containers and application security. NopSec also offers a JumpStart Program for organizations migrating from legacy vulnerability management tools like Cisco/Kenna.

Direct peers

• Brinqa: Brinqa offers a vulnerability risk management platform that aggregates vulnerability data, applies risk-based prioritization, and operationalizes remediation — a close functional analog to NopSec's CTEM platform across similar enterprise buyers.
• AttackIQ: AttackIQ provides a breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform for continuous security validation, overlapping with NopSec's Simulate module and the AI Agentic Adversarial Emulation product in continuous attack-path validation.
• Balbix: Balbix is a risk-based vulnerability management and exposure management platform that uses AI/ML to prioritize vulnerabilities across the attack surface. It is a direct competitor to NopSec in the enterprise CTEM category.
• Cisco Kenna Security: Kenna was the leading risk-based vulnerability management platform and is NopSec's most direct head-to-head competitor. Cisco announced Kenna end-of-life, and NopSec's JumpStart program is specifically built to migrate Kenna customers onto its CTEM platform.

Broad incumbents

• Qualys: Qualys VMDR and Qualys TruRisk are enterprise vulnerability management and risk prioritization platforms that compete directly with NopSec's CTEM offering, particularly for organizations consolidating on a single-vendor VMDR stack.
• Rapid7: Rapid7 InsightVM and the Exposure Command platform offer risk-based vulnerability management with prioritization, directly overlapping NopSec's core CTEM capabilities while also serving as a scanner data source via integration.
• CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight is a native vulnerability management module within the Falcon platform, increasingly positioned as part of exposure management. NopSec integrates with CrowdStrike (App Store) but also competes for the same enterprise CISO budget.
• Tenable: Tenable is the leading vulnerability management platform vendor (Nessus, Tenable One) and a scanner-agnostic data source for NopSec. It competes in the same exposure assessment space but at much larger scale with bundled prioritization capabilities.

Emerging players

• Wiz: Wiz is a cloud-native security platform with exposure assessment capabilities that has expanded from cloud security posture into broader vulnerability prioritization. NopSec joined the Wiz Integrations (WIN) platform, making them both partners and partial competitors in cloud vulnerability prioritization.
• Horizon3.ai: Horizon3.ai offers an autonomous penetration testing platform (NodeZero) that uses AI-driven attack techniques to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. It is a direct competitor to NopSec's new Continuous Adversarial Emulation product line.
