CloudSEK is an AI-native predictive cyber intelligence platform that identifies attack paths and initial access vectors before they are exploited. Founded in 2015 by security researcher Rahul Sasi and headquartered in Singapore, CloudSEK helps security teams predict and disrupt AI-driven cyberattacks before they happen by continuously analyzing external threats, the external attack surface, AI systems, and third-party ecosystems.
CloudSEK was built on one thesis: AI-driven cyberattacks will define the future of enterprise security, and defending against them requires continuous, high-quality intelligence that can identify attack paths before they are exploited. As organizations expanded their digital footprints across public infrastructure, AI systems, third-party vendors, and open-source dependencies, the external attack surface grew faster and became more complex than traditional security tools could track.
To solve this, CloudSEK combined AI and machine learning with continuous external monitoring, turning raw threat signals from the dark web, the external attack surface, AI infrastructure, and supply chain ecosystems into validated attack path intelligence. The platform helps organizations move from reactive incident response to predictive attack disruption. CloudSEK serves enterprises across financial services, government, technology, and telecom sectors globally, and currently protects 400+ organizations.
Category and Scope
CloudSEK is a unified predictive attack graph platform for enterprise security teams. It focuses on the external threat surface, the external attack surface, AI attack surfaces, and third-party ecosystems, and turns those signals into validated attack paths.
CloudSEK belongs to the digital risk protection (DRP), cyber threat intelligence (CTI), external attack surface management (EASM), AI attack surface monitoring, and third-party risk management (TPRM) categories. Its primary classification is an AI-native predictive cyber intelligence platform that unifies these categories under one intelligence layer, Nexus AI. CloudSEK concentrates on threats and exposure outside the firewall and inside AI and supply chain ecosystems, complementing internal network, endpoint, and incident response tooling.
Products
CloudSEK combines five intelligence products and one correlation layer into a single AI-native predictive attack graph platform.
XVigil
Category: Digital Risk Protection (DRP)
XVigil is CloudSEK's digital risk protection platform. It identifies organization-specific exposure across the deep, dark, and surface web, monitoring forums, paste sites, leaked-data marketplaces, and encrypted channels for direct mentions of an organization, its people, and its assets.

Question it answers: Who is likely to attack us, what are they exploiting, and how will they do it?
BeVigil is CloudSEK's external attack surface monitoring platform. It fingerprints an organization's internet-facing infrastructure and continuously scans it for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and exploitable initial access vectors.
Key capabilities
Continuous scanning across eight attack surfaces: Web applications, mobile applications, APIs, cloud, CVE, DNS, SSL, and network

Identification of known CVEs, weak SSL configurations, DNS misconfigurations including SPF and DMARC issues, subdomain takeovers, and exposed credentials in code
Web application scanning for common vulnerabilities including SQL injection and cross-site scripting, with equivalent depth across mobile, API, and cloud assets
More than 600 tag classifiers and query-language filters to reduce noise and focus on exploitable exposure
Question it answers: What does our external attack surface look like, and where are the exploitable initial access vectors?
AIVigil
Category: AI Attack Surface Monitoring (AI-ASM)
AIVigil is CloudSEK's AI attack surface monitoring platform. It identifies initial access vectors across AI systems, AI-enabled applications, and model-serving APIs, and continuously analyzes how AI systems can be manipulated.
Key capabilities
Detection of prompt injection, jailbreaks, model abuse, and training data exposure
Analysis of how AI systems can be manipulated through prompts, data pipelines, and model interactions
Prevention of attacks such as jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and model inversion before exploitation
Visibility into AI infrastructure including GPU clusters, vector databases, and AI pipelines
Detection of misconfigurations and access control gaps that can lead to data leaks or unauthorized model access
Question it answers: How can attackers exploit our AI systems?
SVigil
Category: Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) and Supply Chain Security
SVigil is CloudSEK's continuous third-party and supply chain attack surface intelligence platform. It identifies vendor-driven initial access vectors and hidden dependencies.
Key capabilities
Continuous visibility into the cyber posture of vendors, partners, and supply chain dependencies
Assessment and monitoring of third-party risk without manual evidence collection
Continuous monitoring of vendors rather than point-in-time onboarding checks
Fourth-party risk mapping across hidden supply chain dependencies
Real-time vendor risk intelligence for risk, procurement, and compliance teams
Question it answers: Can attackers reach us through our vendors?
Nexus AI
Category: Attack Path Intelligence Layer
Nexus AI is CloudSEK's AI-native attack path intelligence layer. It correlates signals from XVigil, CloudSEK Threat Intelligence, BeVigil, AIVigil, and SVigil to predict and prioritize real attack paths.
Key capabilities
Correlates signals across digital risk, threat actor activity, the external attack surface, AI attack surfaces, and third-party ecosystems into a unified attack graph
Identifies how attackers chain weaknesses such as leaked credentials, exposed assets, AI misconfigurations, and vendor exposures into executable attack paths
Produces validated attack paths showing how an attacker would move across identity, exposure, and access
Prioritizes risks by exploitability, impact, and attacker behavior
Powers autonomous investigation and enrichment that reduces analyst workload across the product suite
Role: Shows security teams what to fix first to break attack chains before execution.
