Preemptive cybersecurity
LocateRisk uses Preemptive Intelligence for faster risk assessment and is therefore independent of US data sources such as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). This means that critical gaps can be closed even before the official NVD analysis. The result: verifiable security with reduced risk management effort: Made in Germany, EU-hosted and NIS2-compliant.
Dependence on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) as the primary data source can lead to delays in risk assessment. In the phase between the discovery of a vulnerability and its final cataloging - the so-called mapping gap - IT systems often remain without a qualified assessment, as automated testing processes often only react to validated data sets.
LocateRisk avoids the delay of NVD by automatically processing unstructured data from multiple sources. Risk reports from security researchers are immediately translated into actionable insights. This process makes it possible to match potential vulnerabilities with the individual attack surface from the moment of the first tip-off, even before an official CVSS classification is available.
The importance of preventive security approaches is reflected in current market analyses. According to Gartner (September 2025) the share of preemptive solutions in global IT security spending is expected to rise to 50% by 2030 - from a share of less than 5% in 2024. This development is in line with the observations of the BSI Situation Report 2025 which identifies securing the external attack surface as a key factor for cyber resilience in 2026.
LocateRisk transforms abstract risk information into prioritized recommendations for action. Our platform identifies critical exposure characteristics across the external infrastructure and the supply chain, thereby strengthening your security resilience in the long term.
A detailed analysis of these developments - including the OpenSSL example, where AI identified a vulnerability that had been in the source code since 1998 - can be found in our blog article: Preemptive intelligence: identify and close IT vulnerabilities even before they are officially listed
Close the critical window of unassessed risks. With LocateRisk, you can identify and prioritize vulnerabilities as soon as they are published, even before attackers can exploit them. This takes the pressure off your security team and strengthens your cyber resilience. Request your demo now!
