watchTowr Unveils AI-Powered Preemptive Exposure Management Platform to Outpace Rise of Zero-Day Exploitation
In an alarming trend the industry continues to battle, the speed at which vulnerabilities are exploited continues to shrink, in some cases, within as little as four hours. In an increasingly high-speed threat environment, approaches driven by vulnerability management SLAs are no longer enabling organizations to remain secure. The watchTowr Platform addresses this by combining proprietary threat intelligence, real-time attacker telemetry, and automated red teaming to provide organizations with clear, rapid insights into how they could be breached—and what to do about it—before the inevitable occurs.
'By the time a vulnerability hits the headlines, attackers have already broken in, and in many cases, left backdoors behind,' said Benjamin Harris, co-founder and CEO of watchTowr. 'When threats move faster than your team can react, time becomes your most critical defense. That's exactly what the watchTowr Platform is designed to give you: time to react and fight back, before a breach occurs.'
At the heart of this speed is an AI Execution Pipeline, a critical layer that autonomously translates what attackers are doing in the wild into actionable intelligence, determining whether and exactly how an organization's environment and systems are impacted. When adversaries shift tactics, autonomous tests are triggered instantaneously within the watchTowr Platform without manual input, giving organizations more time than ever to respond.
watchTowr's Proactive Threat Intelligence provides proprietary and first-party insight into real-time attacker behavior, fueled by a number of distinct capabilities:
watchTowr Instinct: A preemptive algorithm that consistently identifies vulnerabilities highly likely to be exploited in the wild, enabling identification and action before weaponization.
Attacker Eye: Live attacker telemetry collected through a global, honeypot network that feeds the platform with insights so teams understand how attackers are actually operating in the wild.
watchTowr Labs: An in-house APT group consistently discovering and analyzing zero-days, novel attacker techniques, and Internet-wide weaknesses that could impact customer environments before hackers.
These capabilities are fused with watchTowr's market-leading External Attack Surface Management technology:
Adversary Sight: Reconstructs external footprints as seen by attackers and continuously discovers known and unknown assets across SaaS, clouds, applications and infrastructure to deliver true attack surface visibility.
Automated Read Teaming: Simulates comprehensive tactics, techniques, and vulnerabilities used by real-world attackers to continuously identify and validate exploitable weaknesses at scale, allowing teams to focus on fixing what actually matters.
Rapid Reaction: Ensures the fastest emerging threat response in the industry beyond vulnerability scanning, simulating attacker tactics and techniques across all MITRE ATT&CK Initial Access vectors.
Together, watchTowr's Proactive Threat Intelligence and External Attack Surface Management capabilities, wrapped within its autonomous AI Execution Pipeline, help customers accurately predict the tactics and techniques likely to be used in future attacks, understand how attackers are targeting organizations today, and automatically and continuously determine whether they are currently affected or exposed within minutes, buying time in an ever aggressive race between attackers and defenders.
The enhancements to the watchTowr Platform come on the heels of the appointment of Ryan Dewhurst to lead Proactive Threat Intelligence at the company.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP) resulting from allegations that Simulations Plus may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. So What: If you purchased Simulations Plus securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses. What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. What is this about: On July 15, 2025, during market hours, Benzinga published an article entitled 'Simulations Plus Sees Weaker Demand Persist, Outlook Softens.' The article stated that Simulations Plus shares had declined 'following the release of [Simulations Plus'] third-quarter 2025 earnings report.' The article stated that Simulations Plus had reported sales of $20.4 million, representing a 10% year-over-year increase, but this fell short of the consensus estimate of $20.9 million.' Further, '[t]his miss followed preliminary third-quarter sales figures released in June, which were already lower than expectations at $19 million to $20 million, compared to a consensus of $22.78 million.' On this news, the price of Simulations Plus stock fell 25.75% on July 15, 2025. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
