CyCognito

CyCognito is a cybersecurity company providing an external attack surface management (EASM) and exposure management platform. Its cloud-native platform continuously discovers, maps, and tests an organization's internet-exposed assets—domains, IPs, web apps, APIs, and cloud environments—to surface and validate critical exposures before attackers exploit them. The CyCognito API V1 is a REST API (API-key authenticated) that lets you query assets and issues, manage attack-surface scope, attribute assets to organizations, manage users and cloud connectors, run exports and executive reports, and verify the identity of scanner IPs. CyCognito is backed by Accel and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

CyCognito publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Audit Logs API, Cloud Connectors API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Attack Surface Management, Exposure Management, and Security.

CyCognito’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, authentication, and 24 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cycognito: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
