Proud to Be Named Most Innovative in Runtime Exposure Management

We're thrilled to share this exciting news! Spektion has been named a winner of two Global InfoSec Awards at RSAC 2026 by Cyber Defense Magazine: Most Innovative Exposure Assessment Platform and Most Innovative Runtime Exposure Management.

The awards are judged by CISSP-, FMDHS-, and CEH-certified security professionals who evaluate submissions on the merits of the technology itself. We are honored and grateful to be recognized among this year's winners. 

"We built Spektion because we lived the problem ourselves," said Joe Silva, CEO and Co-founder. "Security teams are drowning in scanner output and add-on prioritization tools while their most dangerous exposures go unseen. This recognition tells us that the industry sees what we see: that runtime observation isn't a feature, it’s foundational for effective exposure management. We're proud of what the team has built and deeply grateful to Cyber Defense Magazine and the judges for this honor."

And, we have two reasons to celebrate today. Today also marks the general availability of the complete Continuous Runtime Exposure Management Platform. Read the full announcement here.

What the Spektion Runtime Exposure Management platform delivers

If you've ever stared down a list of 50,000 critical CVEs and wondered where to start, while quietly knowing the scariest exposure in your environment probably isn't on that list at all, this platform was built for you.

Spektion captures all exploitability across what's installed and running on your endpoints: what's executing, at what privilege level, what's network-exposed, what the blast radius looks like if it's hit. That's how 50,000 critical CVEs become the 200 that genuinely matter in your environment. Not guesswork. Not probabilistic scoring. Observed reality.

In addition, we show you your exposure well beyond CVEs. Vulnerable custom apps. Secrets on disk. Browser extensions with excessive permissions. Embedded components with zero CVE coverage. And, the new AI exposure landscape: AI agents, MCP servers, coding assistants, and AI-generated executables running on user endpoints right now, with real permissions and real network access, with exploitable behavior completely invisible to every scanner, EDR, and agent discovery tool on the market. The Spektion platform surfaces all of it.

The industry has made this shift before. Antivirus matched signatures. EDR watched behavior. That move didn't just make detection better—it changed what detection meant. That's the move we're making for exposure management. 

 A great week to celebrate 

With this recognition, today's platform launch, and RSAC 2026 week, we're having a week we'll remember for a long time. To everyone who has helped us achieve this recognition: thank you. That includes our supportive family, friends, and customers who partnered with us early and pushed us to build something worthy of this moment: this belongs to you, too. 

We're at RSAC 2026, Booth ESE-7, this week. Come meet us and see what we built. If you can't make it, check it out: spektion.com
