About DarkLight Cyio

DarkLight Cyio is a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform designed to help organizations identify and prioritize the most critical threats to their specific business environment. Following its acquisition by Liongard, the tool has been integrated into a broader proactive cybersecurity ecosystem. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that provide an overwhelming and often contextless list of CVEs, Cyio focuses on knowing the adversary and the organization by contextualizing risks within the framework of a company's business-critical systems and information assets. The platform works by continuously ingesting data from vulnerability assessment platforms like Tenable, Rapid7, and Qualys, along with real-time threat intelligence. It then applies this intelligence to the user's specific environment to reprioritize risks at least once a day. A standout feature is the Information Systems visualization, which is based on NIST standards and allows users to see how assets are grouped to support specific business functions. This enables technical teams to evaluate vulnerabilities based on their impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability rather than relying on a generic severity score. Cyio is primarily built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Liongard partners, CISOs, and security operations teams who need to manage complex environments without getting bogged down by excessive alert noise. It streamlines the remediation process through Suggestions by Cyio, which offers multiple paths for resolution, such as risk acceptance, transfer, or mitigation. The tool also includes robust auditing for false positives and deviations, ensuring that all compliance requirements are met while maintaining high operational efficiency. What distinguishes Cyio from other CTEM solutions is its ability to bridge the gap between compliance and operations. It provides a multi-perspective view—covering assets, adversaries, configurations, and business context—instead of the siloed views offered by many competitors. Its deep integration with ticketing systems like Jira, ServiceNow, and ConnectWise ensures that prioritized risks are immediately actionable, allowing teams to send tasks directly to their preferred workflow tools for faster resolution.
