Last Updated: January 28, 2026

Knowledge grows exponentially when shared, and collaboration among like-minded professionals is essential to staying ahead of the curve.

The CyberMindr team, in collaboration with CXO Cywayz, hosted an exclusive roundtable discussion with top cybersecurity practitioners in the industry. Although the event was invite-only, here are some insights from the discussion:

Highlights from the Discussion

One of the key revelations for security personnel was that hackers are not behind a company; they’re behind the internet, ready to launch attacks with advanced tools and techniques. Meanwhile, companies are defending themselves with old tools and outdated strategies. It’s time to acknowledge that we’re in an era of asymmetric warfare, where hackers have the upper hand. We need to adapt and evolve our defenses to stay ahead of the threat.

Challenges and Opportunities

Moving ahead in the discussion, everyone shared their concerns about the challenges in the cybersecurity landscape, including the time to detect vulnerabilities, legacy systems, limited resources, and gaining a comprehensive view of an organization’s security posture. Key discussion points:

  • Development Stage Errors: Errors at the development stage can lead to code leaks and vulnerabilities, while saving backups at the same place or on the pre-production site can make them vulnerable to attacks.
  • Lack of Threat Intel: Passwords in config files, inadequate continuous attack surface management, and lack of threat intel can leave organizations blind to potential threats, making it difficult to respond to attacks effectively.
  • Supply Chain and Third-Party Risk: Supply chain risk and third-party risk are often overlooked, exposing organizations to zero-day vulnerabilities, insertion of counterfeits, data theft, insertion of malicious software and hardware.

To overcome these challenges, it’s essential to take a step back and assess our practices, selecting the right tools, and implementing business requirements and risk assessments using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. By doing so, we can stay ahead of hackers and protect our systems and data from potential threats.

The Tool Conundrum: Getting the Best out of the Least

During the conversation, the confusion around choosing the right tools remained a focus, leading to the conclusion that, in our quest for cybersecurity, we often fall into the trap of investing heavily in tools. The hope that the latest and greatest technology will solve all our problems is misguided. The reality is that getting the best out of the least requires a fundamental understanding of what the business demands. CISOs and CEOs must be diligent and clear in their security aspects, recognizing that throwing money at the problem is not the solution.

Instead, we need to assess our toolset, asking ourselves: Are we using our tools effectively? Are we getting the best out of our investments? By taking a more thoughtful and strategic approach to tool selection and implementation, we can maximize our ROI and minimize our risk.

The CyberMindr Solution

Lastly, Sudheer Kanumalli, Founder and CTO of CyberMindr, stated that we’re committed to making an impact in the industry by solving just one critical problem. We don’t want to build a part of what’s already existing in the market. Based on our experience with red teaming and cyber breach assessments, we’ve developed a unique approach to attack path discovery.

CyberMindr’s scanning process begins with a domain name, aggregating all assets from Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and performing periodic scans every month. Additionally, we scour the deep and dark web to gather historical data, providing a rich foundation for our analysis.

Our advanced predictive engine constructs a thorough picture of an organization’s assets, including IP addresses and subdomains. The CyberMindr Validation engine then refines the results, eliminating false positives and irrelevant data to ensure accuracy and precision.

The multi-stage attack simulations are unmatched, leveraging over 16,000+ scripts derived from hacker forums and bug bounty hunters. We sanitize these scripts to ensure they don’t impact the organization. These customized scripts and automated approach set us apart from other tools and enabled us to scan 1,000 digital assets in just 1.5 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Cybersecurity Roundtable by CyberMindr is an exclusive event hosted in collaboration with CXO Cywayz, bringing together top cybersecurity practitioners to discuss critical industry challenges. The discussion focused on enhancing business resilience through advanced strategies like attack path discovery platforms. Key topics included the asymmetric warfare landscape, outdated defense tools, and the need to evolve cybersecurity practices to stay ahead of sophisticated hackers.

CyberMindr’s attack path discovery platform is designed to identify vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors before they can be exploited. It begins with domain name analysis, aggregates assets from OSINT, and performs periodic scans. The platform also scours the deep and dark web for historical data, constructs a detailed asset map, and refines results using its Validation engine to eliminate false positives. With over 16,000+ customized scripts derived from hacker forums, it enables rapid, accurate simulations to strengthen organizational defenses.

During the Cybersecurity Roundtable by CyberMindr, participants highlighted several challenges, including:

Development stage errors leading to vulnerabilities and code leaks.

Lack of threat intelligence and inadequate attack surface management.

Supply chain and third-party risks exposing organizations to zero-day vulnerabilities.Participants emphasized the importance of adopting frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, selecting the right tools, and conducting thorough risk assessments to address these challenges effectively.

Traditional cybersecurity tools often rely on outdated strategies that fail to counter modern, sophisticated hacking techniques. The Cybersecurity Roundtable by CyberMindr stressed that hackers have the upper hand in today’s asymmetric warfare landscape. Companies must adapt by implementing advanced solutions like attack path discovery platforms that provide comprehensive visibility into vulnerabilities, enabling proactive defense rather than reactive measures.

CyberMindr stands out with its innovative attack path discovery approach, which combines OSINT, deep and dark web data, and advanced predictive engines to construct a detailed view of an organization’s assets. Its validation engine ensures accuracy by eliminating false positives, while multi-stage attack simulations leverage sanitized scripts from hacker forums and bug bounty hunters. This automated, efficient process allows CyberMindr to scan 1,000 digital assets in just 1.5 hours, setting a new standard in cybersecurity resilience.
