XM Cyber
Attack path management platform that continuously discovers and prioritizes critical attack paths to high-value assets before attackers exploit them.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
XM Cyber is an Israeli cybersecurity company founded in 2016 by former leaders of Israeli intelligence. The company developed an attack path management platform that simulates attacks to discover exploitable paths to critical assets, enabling security teams to prioritize remediation.
XM Cyber was acquired by Schwarz Group (owner of Lidl and Kaufland) in 2021 for approximately $700 million. The acquisition reflected the strategic importance of exposure management and attack path analysis for enterprise security.
The platform continuously maps potential attack paths across hybrid environments, showing exactly how an attacker could move from initial compromise to critical assets. This approach enables focused remediation of the vulnerabilities that actually matter for security.
