Making the invisible visible - CIO Views Magazine has portrayed LocateRisk's journey.
Cyber threats rarely announce themselves. They often linger silently within overlooked vulnerabilities, exposed systems or forgotten digital assets until they are identified. For Lukas Baumann, CEO of LocateRisk, this lack of visibility is one of the biggest security risks facing modern businesses. In the recent feature in CIO Views he explains why proactive action and technical facts must form the basis for resilient cybersecurity.
CEO of LocateRisk Lukas Baumann and his team
Traditional security approaches often focus on internal controls and compliance. However, this often neglects what the company's own infrastructure looks like from the perspective of an external attacker. Lukas Baumann pursues the goal of making these hidden risks measurable and minimizing risks preventively. Automation and scalability turn cybersecurity from a reactive to a proactive process.
EASM: Controlling external attack surfaces through automation
The lack of overview of one's own attack surface is one of the central weak points in many organizations. LocateRisk makes it easy to assess and monitor your own external IT infrastructure with continuous IT risk monitoring.
Automation:Recurring audits provide a continuous picture of digital exposure.
Precision:Instead of theoretical models, the focus is on technical facts.
Scalability:The solutions work across all industries for organizations of all sizes.
Efficiency: Time Savings through AI-powered Workflows
In cybersecurity, speed is a decisive factor in limiting or preventing damage. LocateRisk uses technology to accelerate decision-making processes.
AI integration:Artificial intelligence will be firmly integrated into daily processes until it becomes standard.
Relief:Automated analyses help teams to process information faster without overwhelming them.
Process orientation:Expertise is directly integrated into processes and not dependent on individual people.
Vendor risk management: security across the entire partner ecosystem
A company's security does not end at the boundaries of its own network, but also includes business partners and suppliers.
Third-party monitoring:Continuous insight into the security situation of suppliers reduces the risk through the supply chain.
Action orientation: Tools are provided to directly address identified vulnerabilities. → More about the Vendor Risk Management - VRM
Standardization meets concrete recommendations for action
The individual analysis of IT security is only a snapshot. Lukas Baumann emphasizes that only continuous monitoring and the elimination of any deficiencies found will bring measurable security gains.
Standardization:The aim is to establish a standard for security ratings.
Internal controls often fail to capture what the infrastructure looks like to attackers. An external analysis uncovers exposed assets and forgotten systems that pose a security risk.
Automation enables scalable and recurring analyses that respond to changes faster than manual audits. This takes the pressure off teams and ensures that expertise is applied consistently.
Thanks to MCP-𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 (Model Context Protocol), companies can access the analysis data and filter functions in the platform via their preferred AI models. This minimizes the time between detection and remediation.
