NetSPI, the leading proactive security solution, made headlines today with the announcement of its acquisition of Hubble Technology Inc., a cutting-edge cybersecurity posture management solution based in Northern Virginia. This strategic move will see the integration of Hubble’s innovative Asset Intelligence™ and cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) product, Aurora™, into The NetSPI Platform, empowering security teams to gain complete visibility of their evolving attack surfaces and effectively manage asset and exposure challenges.
Hubble’s CAASM platform stands out for its agentless approach, allowing organizations to continuously identify new assets and risks, address security blind spots, and obtain a comprehensive view of their security posture by providing an accurate cyber asset inventory – both external and internal. Founded in 2020 with the support of industry giants like Accel, CrowdStrike Falcon Fund, and Paladin Capital, Hubble has quickly made a name for itself in the cybersecurity landscape. As part of the acquisition, Hubble’s Founder, Tom Parker, will bring his expertise to NetSPI as the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
The significance of this acquisition is further emphasized in a report by Forrester, “The Attack Surface Management Solutions Landscape, Q2 2024,” which highlights the importance of both external attack surface management (EASM) and CAASM solutions in identifying and managing security exposures. By adding Hubble’s capabilities to its portfolio, NetSPI aims to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses vulnerabilities and exposures across all IT assets, from cloud environments to industrial control systems, enabling customers to prioritize risks effectively.
Aaron Shilts, CEO of NetSPI, expressed his excitement about the acquisition, emphasizing the importance of visibility in proactive security measures. He noted that the addition of Hubble’s CAASM solution will enable NetSPI to offer unparalleled visibility and insights across the entire IT estate, setting a new standard in proactive security. Tom Parker, the Founder of Hubble and now CTO at NetSPI, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the holistic view that CAASM brings to security leaders, helping them reduce risk and enhance their security posture.
As CTO, Tom Parker will drive innovation and growth across NetSPI’s proactive security solutions, leveraging his extensive experience in the industry. His background includes serving as CTO at Accenture Security and founding FusionX, a pioneering cybersecurity red teaming company. With his expertise, NetSPI aims to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving technology and threat landscape, providing customers with the tools they need to protect their assets effectively.
Looking ahead, NetSPI customers can expect to see CAASM integrated into The NetSPI Platform later this year, offering a comprehensive solution for managing security vulnerabilities.
