Arctic Wolf unveils exposure management for AI-driven risks

Arctic Wolf has launched Aurora Exposure Management and Aurora Mobile Threat Defence, expanding its security portfolio as AI tools accelerate vulnerability discovery.

Aurora Exposure Management combines vulnerability management with attack surface management. Aurora Mobile Threat Defence targets risks on smartphones and tablets used for work. The new products are designed to help security teams identify the risks that matter most and respond faster across dispersed IT environments.

The launch comes as security vendors and corporate defenders grapple with a sharp rise in reported software flaws. Arctic Wolf cited National Institute of Standards and Technology figures showing CVE submissions rose 263% between 2020 and 2025, with the opening months of 2026 running higher than the same period a year earlier.

That trend has increased pressure on businesses to separate urgent exposures from background noise. Smaller organisations often lack continuous visibility across devices, systems and cloud assets. Larger organisations face the same challenge at greater scale, particularly when trying to connect technical weakness data with business impact.

Aurora Vulnerability Management is designed to give customers a single view of known and unknown assets and support remediation through automation, guided actions and rescanning. Arctic Wolf is also offering native patch management through an add-on called Resolve, intended to help close vulnerabilities once they are identified.

Aurora Attack Surface Management extends that view beyond standard vulnerability scanning. The product continuously discovers assets, highlights unmanaged systems and security coverage gaps, and uses business and threat context to rank exposures.

The attack surface product builds on technology gained through Arctic Wolf's acquisition of Sevco Security. It also draws data from endpoint, identity, cloud and other IT and security sources to create a consolidated picture of exposure across an organisation.

Dan Schiappa, President of Technology & Services, said security teams are under growing pressure as AI tools speed disclosure and analysis.

"The pace of vulnerability discovery is accelerating, and security teams are under increasing pressure to act faster and with greater confidence," said Dan Schiappa, President of Technology & Services, Arctic Wolf.

"As AI-driven vulnerability discovery and attackers move faster, organisations need a more operational approach to reducing risk. Aurora Exposure Management connects what's exposed, what's exploitable, and what to do next, helping teams prioritise what matters most and turn insight into measurable risk reduction," Schiappa said.

Mobile risks

The second launch targets a part of the market many security teams still treat as an extension of device management rather than a frontline security issue. Mobile phones are becoming one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces because they provide access to enterprise data, cloud applications and identity systems, yet many organisations still rely on management tools that do not detect phishing, unsafe networks or malicious apps.

Aurora Mobile Threat Defence is built for iOS and Android devices, including both corporate-owned and bring-your-own-device fleets. The product analyses device behaviour, network connections, app activity and phishing signals in real time.

The service includes detection and blocking for phishing, malware and device-level attacks, as well as the ability to disconnect from rogue or unsafe networks. It also flags malicious or non-compliant applications and uses what Arctic Wolf described as privacy-friendly forensics intended to avoid intrusive data collection.

Schiappa said the gap in mobile protection is becoming harder for organisations to ignore.

"Mobile devices hold direct access to sensitive corporate data, yet they remain one of the least protected attack surfaces," said Dan Schiappa, President of Technology and Services, Arctic Wolf.

"Aurora Mobile Threat Defence brings mobile security into modern security operations, giving organisations confidence to secure their devices while keeping employee privacy top of mind," Schiappa said.

Broader update

Alongside the two launches, Arctic Wolf has expanded Threat Intelligence Plus so it can be bought as a standalone product, without requiring customers to adopt its managed detection and response service. It also introduced dynamic blocklists that allow indicators of compromise to be pushed automatically to a wider range of security devices, including products that do not support STIX or TAXII integrations.

The company also updated its Concierge service, making self-serve Security Posture in-depth Reviews available across all service tiers. These reviews summarise findings, surface relevant data and generate prioritised tasks through the company's portal, allowing customers to run assessments without waiting for a scheduled engagement.

Arctic Wolf said it works with hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses and mid-market organisations in Australia, including Arts Centre Melbourne, Parramatta Eels and Brighton Grammar School, and employs about 70 staff locally.
