Spektion developed a sensor that observes what executed on the host, at what privilege, reaching what, independent of what the agent reported doing.

Spektion is the Continuous Runtime Exposure Management (CREM) platform. A lightweight sensor records what actually executes on every workstation and server, at what privilege, reachable from where, and with what blast radius. That evidence sets which CVEs get patched first and surfaces the exploitable weaknesses that have no CVE. What customers measure: → 60% fewer emergency patch events (anonymized customer data) → 27% attack surface reduction in 30 days (anonymized customer data) → 50 to 80 percent fewer critical CVEs pushed to remediation, validated in proof-of-value Why the numbers hold: about 70% of critical CVEs sit in software that is not running. The same CVE scores 9.76 where it runs as SYSTEM and 4.00 where it sits idle. Spektion Research found 71% of applications with exploitable flaws had no CVE assigned. Founded in 2024 by red teamers, vulnerability researchers, and CISOs. Backed by LiveOak Ventures. Customers include NielsenIQ, Granicus, and Juul Labs.
