Optery Wins Best Attack Surface Management Service Award

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Optery has been awarded the Best Service for Attack Surface Management by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), a leading publication in electronic information security. This award is part of the Global InfoSec Awards, now in its thirteenth year, which honors companies that provide innovative solutions in cybersecurity.

According to Paul Mander, General Manager of Optery for Business, the recognition highlights the significant security risks posed by data broker exposure, which he deemed a major part of the enterprise attack surface. He noted, “Data broker exposure is a huge security risk for organizations. The recent Black Basta leaks confirmed that cybercriminals actively use data broker sites for reconnaissance and targeting.”

Optery aims to mitigate these risks by offering a comprehensive solution that assists businesses in identifying and eliminating employee personally identifiable information (PII) exposure across such platforms. Mander stated, “In doing so, we help businesses dramatically reduce their attack surface for social engineering, credential compromise, and other PII-based threats.”

Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine, praised Optery’s innovation. “We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference. Optery is absolutely worthy of this coveted award,” said Ross.

Optery plans to demonstrate its patented technology during the RSA Conference 2025 at booth N-6467 in the North Moscone Convention Center. The company provides individuals with a free report showing where their personal information is published by various data brokers online and offers a subscription service that automatically removes personal information from these sites.

Optery has been recognized for its cutting-edge technology, receiving multiple awards for employee privacy protection and attack surface management, and has completed its AICPA SOC 2, Type II security attestation. The company continues to support businesses and individuals in safeguarding their data against the growing threats of identity theft and online harassment.
