Cybersecurity company Arctic Wolf Networks Inc. today announced that it has acquired exposure assessment startup Sevco Security Inc. for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 2020, Sevco offers an exposure assessment platform that is focused on addressing the challenge of comprehensive visibility and risk assessment across an organization’s attack surface.

Modern information technology environments grow and span across on-premises networks, cloud services, mobile devices, user identities and a host of applications and services, but traditional tools fall short by operating in isolation. Sevco’s approach, on the other hand, unifies data from disparate sources into a single system of record that continuously reflects the current state of assets and exposures across the enterprise.

Sevco’s platform works by integrating with existing security and IT tools through application programming interfaces to aggregate inventory and vulnerability metadata without requiring agent installations on endpoints. The platform ingests data about devices, software, identities and cloud resources from a broad range of data sources and then generates real-time telemetry describing asset relationships and exposure states.

Key features of the platform include discovery of attack surface components, normalization and prioritization of vulnerabilities and support for remediation workflows. The discovery functions identify and catalog assets and their associated vulnerabilities, including misconfigurations and missing controls, by normalizing data from siloed tools into a coherent model.

Complementary prioritization capabilities combine technical severity, exploitability signals, business context and threat intelligence to rank exposures by risk. The platform also includes mechanisms to route exposures into existing operational systems such as IT service management or orchestration tools and to verify that remediation actions have been completed at the asset level.

Arctic Wolf plans to integrate Sevco’s technology into the Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform to unify asset intelligence, vulnerability context and security control coverage to help organizations continuously identify and prioritize exposures across hybrid environments.

“You cannot take a proactive approach to security without managing exposure and risk,” said Dan Schiappa, president of technology and services at Arctic Wolf. “By adding Sevco to Arctic Wolf’s portfolio of solutions, we intend to give customers and managed service providers the clarity and context they need to act earlier, prioritize effectively and verify that risk is being reduced.”

Coming into its acquisition, Sevco had raised $38.7 million over three rounds, according to data from Tracxn. Investors in the company include SYN Ventures, Accomplice VC, .406 Ventures, Fama Ventures and Bill Wood Ventures.
