Like many state and local government organizations, the City of Richmond faced challenges in securing their IT estate. Fragmented security tools requiring manual configuration, an overwhelming volume of low-value findings from vulnerability scanners, and a lack of contextualized data to reflect the true risk profile of each finding. Legacy attack surface management lacked automated organizational mapping, comprehensive port coverage, and threat intelligence correlation, creating blind spots and preventing the team from confidently identifying true exposures or prioritizing effectively amid irrelevant findings.
SixMap’s autonomous discovery required only the organization name to provide complete external visibility across IPv4 and IPv6, inspecting all 65,535 ports on each asset during every assessment. The platform eliminated false positives while surfacing previously unknown critical exposures with actionable intelligence and real-time threat context. Richmond saved the equivalent of one full-time employee through automated discovery and risk analysis, accelerating mitigation by days or weeks.
