About Hive Pro

Hive Pro sells The Hive Pro Platform, one platform offering threat exposure management through exposure assessment and adversarial exposure validation. Hive Pro states that its platform addresses all 5 phases of the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program within a single, unified platform. Hive Pro says its journey began with recognizing the issues that scanner tool sprawl and the resulting data chaos cause in reducing the attack surface.[1][2][3]

Hive Pro started by building for exposure assessment, a way to identify and evaluate vulnerabilities, prioritize them by threat impact, and provide remediation options. Hive Pro lets customers scan with 6 built-in scanners and EASM, or bring their own. The Hive Pro Platform manages security scans, tests, and assessments in-platform, including manual pen-tests and assessment results. Hive Pro ingests exposure data from existing scanners such as Qualys, Tenable and Rapid7. The Hive Pro Platform ingests vulnerabilities, cloud drift, identity exposure, and EASM findings from existing scanners. Hive Pro accepts vulnerabilities uploaded through CSV from any scanning tool into The Hive Pro Platform. Hive Pro offers scanning orchestration from code to cloud. Hive Pro states that exposure discovery goes beyond vulnerabilities to include misconfiguration of assets and security controls.[2][3][5][6][7]

Hive Pro correlates threat intelligence, exploitability, identity relationships, cloud posture, and business context into one operational intelligence layer. Hive Pro correlates exploitability, business impact, ransomware activity, and attack paths. Arbis ranks validated exposure paths instead of raw findings. Hive Pro says its intelligence covers threat, vulnerability, threat actor, environment, and vertical risks. Hive Pro enriches its capabilities with HiveForce Labs’ 4 R&D teams tracking threats, actors, vulnerabilities, and attacks. The Hive Pro Platform embeds patch intelligence and remediation guidance.[2][6][8]

Hive Pro added cyber validation to confirm the effects of potential threats and assess the ability of security controls to block or mitigate their impact. Hive Pro validates exploit paths safely through BAS workflows and attack simulation. Hive Pro runs breach and attack simulation to confirm a finding is actually exploitable. Hive Pro security control validation simulates the most likely attack campaigns and exploits against critical assets to surface security gaps, misconfigured and weak controls.[2][3][6][9]

Hive Pro maps business-critical systems, cloud assets, privileged identities, and external attack surface into one operational scope. Hive Pro connects with scanners, EDR, ticketing, and cloud tools. Hive Pro ingests vulnerability findings from CrowdStrike Spotlight into The Hive Pro Platform. Hive Pro automates ticket creation for remediation and tracks the status of each ticket directly on the Hive Pro platform. Hive Pro patches vulnerabilities based on CVE IDs directly from the Hive Pro platform. Hive Pro pushes validated remediation actions into Jira and ServiceNow workflows.[6][7]

Hive Pro extends exposure management into OT and ICS environments. Hive Pro's OT Security capability is built in partnership with ICS Fusion, a CPS security platform with passive asset discovery, vulnerability orchestration, and compliance reporting across OT, IoT, and ICS environments. Hive Pro applies to industrial control systems the same prioritization intelligence that protects IT infrastructure.[1][2][4][8][10][11]
