USE CASE > IT ASSET INVENTORY
Maintaining an accurate asset inventory is essential for security, compliance, and operations. SixMap automatically finds every external IP, domain, and service across IPv4 and IPv6, creating a complete, up-to-date record of what belongs to your organization.
Keeping a complete asset inventory requires a new approach
Large organizations are complex and dynamic, leading to a constant evolution of digital infrastructure. Legacy tools depend on a seed list of domains and IP addresses to run discovery so they often fail to find new assets when they’re deployed. A new approach is needed to maintain a complete, accurate inventory of every asset tied to the organization, no matter how fast it changes.

“Out of thousands of Internet-facing assets, SixMap was able to automatically pinpoint the most pressing vulnerabilities that required immediate action based on quantifying the risk by correlating the threat actors and exploitable vulnerabilities. We’re glad they have partnered with AWS to deliver value to their customers.”

Frequently asked questions
SixMap is an agentless SaaS solution. It does not require any installation, downloads, or agents. The product UI can be accessed through any web browser and the data can be ingested via RESTful APIs and webhooks.
SixMap’s discovery procedure has two main components: our unique mapping methodology and 6Gen, our core technology. SixMap’s methodology begins by mapping out an organization’s structure, finding all subsidiaries, holding companies, shell companies, and other legal entities that belong to the parent organization globally. Each of these entities serves as a starting point for the asset discovery process, which uncovers all networks, IP addresses, and domains.
6Gen, SixMap’s computational mapping algorithm, is unique in that it can detect hosts across both the IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces. SixMap uses 6Gen, along with other data sources like WHOIS and DNS records, to provide a complete, accurate, and up-to-date inventory of all your external assets. This discovery process is silent, safe, and non-intrusive.
SixMap’s host discovery and exposure assessment processes are fast, efficient, silent, and completely safe. The SixMap platform does not pose any risk to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of your organization’s assets. SixMap does not run any intrusive tests or exploit scripts, so there is no activity that might be considered dangerous or risky.
Yes. SixMap offers several RESTful APIs and webhooks that make it easy to ingest the data into any other tools in your environment. All licenses include access to the APIs and webhooks at no additional cost.
SixMap has 3 major differentiators. First, SixMap begins by truly getting to know an organization’s DNA before running technical processes. The organization mapping process identifies all legal entities that belong to a single parent organization, including all subsidiaries, holding companies, etc. On average, we find 5-10x more entities than what’s known to major business intelligence firms.
Second, SixMap’s host discovery process uses 6Gen, a proprietary technology, to uncover all IP addresses and hosts across both the IPv4 and IPv6 spaces. Other tools on the market have very limited discovery capabilities in the IPv6 space, possibly leaving some assets exposed and unmanaged. While many security teams think they do not use IPv6, we almost always find some IPv6 addresses in use.
Third, SixMap’s exposure assessment inspects all 65,535 ports on every host, during every assessment. Most other tools check the top 1,000 to 5,000 most commonly-used ports, which fails to detect exposed services on high ports and creates risk. SixMap finds 7-9% more exposures by assessing all ports, on each host, every single time we run an assessment.
Legacy tools stop at fragments — partial scans, incomplete inventories, and misattributions. SixMap goes further, mapping the entire organization across IPv4 and IPv6, tying every host and exposure back to its rightful entity.
SixMap prices the platform based on the number of full-time employees at your organization, which serves as a proxy for the complexity of your digital infrastructure and the quantity of external assets you need to monitor and protect. It may help to think of a SixMap contract as a “site license,” which covers your entire organization, regardless of the exact number of assets and users.
While some organizations price based on the number of assets, this pricing model may sometimes put customers in a position where they’re incentivized to ignore some of their own assets in order to stay in a lower pricing tier. SixMap prefers a pricing model that encourages customers to protect all of their infrastructure and assets.
