Outside-In Threat Advisory
Your external attack surface is being scored right now - by attackers choosing targets, by carriers pricing your premium, and by customers deciding whether to trust you. Z Cyber's Outside-In Threat Advisory keeps that same external view in front of you, continuously. Our platform-managed commercial threat intelligence monitors your exposed assets, rating changes, and findings; our team separates signal from noise, sets priorities against your risk appetite, and briefs your leadership when the exposure story changes. Your attack surface stays watched, and a named advisor is accountable for interpreting what it shows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from BitSight or SecurityScorecard?
A rating platform gives you a score and a feed. This service gives you the score, the feed, and a team accountable for interpreting it: triaging findings, filtering false positives, driving remediation, and briefing your leadership. The data is an input, the advisory is the product.
Where does the rating data come from?
platform-managed commercial threat intelligence, blended with internal control data from your platform workspace. Ratings and findings update on the cadence of the underlying intelligence sources.
Will this help with our cyber insurance renewal?
Carriers increasingly consult outside-in ratings during underwriting. Watching the same signal continuously, and fixing what it surfaces before renewal season, removes surprises from the process. Pair with our Insurance Readiness module for the full renewal picture.
What happens when something critical appears?
Critical findings trigger immediate analyst triage and, when validated, an advisor-authored notification with recommended action - not an automated email you find three weeks later.
