BreachLock Featured as Sample Vendor for Threat Exposure Management in 2025 Gartner® Emerging Tech Impact Radar Report

Published

on

NEW YORK, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BreachLock, the global leader in Continuous Attack Surface Discovery and Penetration Testing, was featured by Gartner in the 2025 Gartner Emerging Tech Impact Radar Report.

With the recent launch of the BreachLock Unified Platform, which consolidates findings from Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), Attack Surface Management (ASM/EASM), and Continuous Penetration Testing and Red Teaming, this recognition reinforces BreachLock’s dedication to enabling enterprises with proactive cybersecurity solutions to help them stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape.

According to Gartner, “Threat exposure management encompasses a range of processes that leverage advancements in existing technologies and the emergence of new technologies to discover and map an organization’s attack surface, identifying exposures and assessing the risk they pose.” Included in these existing and new technologies Gartner refers to are PTaaS, External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV), and others.

With the increased enterprise need for a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) program, BreachLock offers integrated AEV technologies that align with CTEM by continuously testing and validating organizations’ exposure to real-world threats using automated and AI-driven security testing techniques.

BreachLock’s proactive security solutions include:

Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS): BreachLock’s PTaaS provides on-demand, Saas-based penetration testing across a variety of environments, and combines human-led expertise with automation, ensuring comprehensive testing at scale.

Automated Penetration Testing: BreachLock continuous penetration testing and vulnerability scanning assesses exposures by simulating attack scenarios to identify new vulnerabilities and validate mitigation measures put into place, eliminating the need for costly expertise, processes, and tools.

Attack Surface Management (ASM): BreachLock ASM continuously identifies and prioritizes assets at their most critical entry points in both internal and external environments, providing deep contextual insights and evidence of actual risk, creating a roadmap and starting point for risk-based prioritization and remediation.

Red Teaming: BreachLock automated Red Team exercises test organizational responses and identify gaps by simulating sophisticated attacks. BreachLock’s Red Teaming allows companies to assess response effectiveness against high-impact threats to measure the resilience of security defenses, enhancing situational readiness.

Commenting on this recognition, BreachLock’s Founder & CEO expressed, “As organizations embrace Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), BreachLock remains at the forefront of innovation. Our priority is to empower security teams with technologies that continuously identify, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities for early remediation,” adding, “This recognition from Gartner reflects our commitment to proactive exposure management.”

BreachLock goes beyond just scanning for vulnerabilities by systematically probing organizations’ defenses by emulating adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to uncover exploitable weaknesses. According to Gartner’s report, “The level of automation and integration that threat exposure management technologies provide will transform how organizations perform threat exposure management activities that are currently siloed.” BreachLock actively breaks down cybersecurity silos by unifying security testing tools and data in the BreachLock Unified Platform, providing a centralized view of organizations’ security landscape and enabling better collaboration and faster decision-making.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
