watchTowr Launches AI-Driven Rapid Reaction to Outsmart Cyber Threats in Minutes

watchTowr Speeds Up Cybersecurity Response with AI-Driven Rapid Reaction

watchTowr has cut its Rapid Reaction time dramatically—from hours down to minutes—helping organizations respond to new cybersecurity threats faster than ever. This acceleration comes at a crucial time, as attackers are exploiting fresh vulnerabilities within just four hours of discovery.

The watchTowr Platform uses advanced AI to quickly identify and reproduce emerging vulnerabilities. This allows security teams to pinpoint exploitable systems and act decisively before attackers can cause damage. The platform’s speed and precision provide a clear edge in defending against ransomware gangs, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and other cyber adversaries.

How AI Enhances Rapid Reaction

• Transforms raw threat intelligence into actionable insights within minutes
• Runs active hunts to determine exposure to new threats before widespread exploitation
• Identifies affected systems, business units, and assets with proven exploitability

Benjamin Harris, watchTowr’s founder and CEO, emphasizes that the goal is to help organizations fix vulnerabilities faster than attackers exploit them. “Every minute counts,” he says. The company’s AI-driven approach builds on its existing research and testing capabilities to deliver rapid, accurate risk assessments.

A Unified Platform Built for Large Enterprises

The AI-driven Rapid Reaction capability is part of watchTowr’s larger Preemptive Exposure Management solution. This platform combines proactive threat intelligence with External Attack Surface Management into one AI-powered system. It is designed specifically for Fortune 500 companies and critical infrastructure providers that require fast, confident security decisions.

By continuously monitoring and validating real exposures, the platform gives security teams the ability to act before threats escalate. All watchTowr customers can access this enhanced Rapid Reaction feature immediately.

Why This Matters to Management

For leadership, reducing the window between vulnerability discovery and response is vital. Faster reaction times mean fewer successful breaches and less operational disruption. Investing in AI-driven security tools like watchTowr’s platform not only protects assets but also supports compliance and risk management objectives.
