Continuous monitoring brings domain, credential, certificate, email and internet-facing asset intelligence into one remediation workflow
Scottsdale, Ariz., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CISO Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: CISO), a provider of AI-powered cybersecurity software and expert-led cyber services, today announced the launch of SurfaceWatch™, a platform that helps organizations discover and manage external cyber exposure before it disrupts operations.
Public-facing risk changes constantly: DNS records are updated, certificates expire, employee credentials appear in breached data, and lookalike domains emerge. SurfaceWatch gives security teams a current view of those changes, so they can quickly understand what matters and decide what to address first.
Delivered through CISO Global's Argo Security Management™ platform, SurfaceWatch monitors domains and DNS records, internet-facing systems, exposed credentials, SSL/TLS certificate health, email authentication settings, and phishing or brand-impersonation signals. AI-assisted triage helps assess suspicious domains, while external vulnerability scanning enriches findings with recognized risk data and remediation guidance.
A unified dashboard adds exposure scoring, historical trends and configurable alerts. Teams can investigate each finding, assign priorities, follow remediation through closure, and document accepted risk without stitching together separate tools and reports. Multi-tenant capabilities help managed security service providers, private equity firms, and other portfolio owners oversee customer environments while keeping findings, history, and reporting separate by account.
"Attackers see an organization from the outside, and security teams need that same perspective," said Dhaval Damania, Executive Vice President, Cybersecurity & IT at CISO Global. "SurfaceWatch turns scattered external signals into prioritized action, helping organizations address exposure before it becomes an incident."
The launch expands CISO Global's proprietary security software portfolio as demand for attack surface management accelerates. Fortune Business Insights projects the global market to grow from
