About RiskHorizon

RiskHorizon is a leading Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform that provides real-time intelligence and deep insights into an organization's digital environment. By leveraging advanced AI models and a robust data aggregation framework, RiskHorizon enables companies to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks across their entire digital footprint, from code to cloud.

Defining Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

CTEM is a strategic approach that involves a set of processes and capabilities designed to continuously identify, assess, and mitigate risks within an organization's digital environment. Unlike traditional security models that rely on periodic assessments, CTEM ensures that organizations are always aware of their threat landscape, allowing for real-time response and continuous improvement of security measures.

The Challenge

As a CTEM platform, RiskHorizon excels at collecting intelligence, aggregating data, and delivering actionable insights across the deep and dark web. However, the company faced a significant challenge: interoperability and workflow enablement. With customers using a wide array of security tools ranging from EDR tools like CrowdStrike to cloud security with Wiz and Orca, and vulnerability management with Qualys and Tenable, RiskHorizon needed to integrate these diverse data sources into its platform. Building and maintaining these integrations required extensive development time, slowing down the company’s ability to deliver immediate value to its customers.

"Our core competency is delivering real-time intelligence, not spending weeks on developing integrations. Exposure management, effectively, to me, means code to cloud. So I want to see your SCA, your SAST data, your endpoint data from CrowdStrike, cloud security from Wiz or Orca, and your external attack surface data from Qualys, Tenable, or Rapid7. We needed a solution that could streamline this process, allowing us to focus on what we do best"

How Leen Helped

Leen became the perfect partner for RiskHorizon as it connects to dozens of security tools across EDR, AppSec, VMS, CSPM etc., normalizing and correlating the data to provide a unified view. This capability was exactly what RiskHorizon needed to overcome its integration challenges.

With Leen, we can go straight to customer conversations, bypassing the need for development and maintenance, and just focus on what those customer problems are, what their environment looks like and what additional integrations we need that we don't have so we can have that full code to cloud coverage in weeks and not months"

By leveraging Leen’s API, RiskHorizon was able to:

  • Eliminate the need for extensive integration development: Leen brought in the necessary integrations, allowing RiskHorizon to bypass the lengthy development cycle and focus on customer-centric conversations.
  • Streamline data aggregation: With Leen normalizing and unifying data from various tools, RiskHorizon could quickly build dashboards and deliver insights without worrying about the complexity of managing multiple data sources.
  • Enhance customer value: RiskHorizon was able to provide immediate value to customers by offering a comprehensive view of their security posture across diverse environments, from code to cloud.

Outcome

With Leen’s support, RiskHorizon transformed its CTEM platform into a more agile and customer-focused solution. The ability to integrate with a wide array of security tools allowed RiskHorizon to deliver on its promise of continuous threat exposure management, providing comprehensive coverage across all customer environments. This partnership enabled RiskHorizon to stay true to its core competencies while meeting the modern expectations of platform interoperability.
