Nucleus Security Positioned as a Major Player in IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Exposure Management

SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nucleus Security, the leader in unified vulnerability and exposure management, today announced its positioning as a "Major Player" in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US52994525e, August 2025). The IDC MarketScape study provides a vendor assessment of vendors offering exposure management platforms, using quantitative and qualitative criteria most important to organizations buying solutions.

The IDC MarketScape noted, "Nucleus Security Platform is suitable for organizations seeking an exposure management solution that can unify large amounts of vulnerability and risk data across diverse environments and asset types. The platform is relevant for organizations with large, complex, or fragmented infrastructures, where asset deduplication, ownership assignment, and consistent risk prioritization are important."

Strengths of Nucleus Security highlighted in the IDC MarketScape include:

• Nucleus has a broad range of connections to many vendors that identify exposures in CSPM, containers, OT, external attack surfaces, applications, and identities.
• Hundreds of end users at Nucleus' customers, including developers and CISOs (not just security teams), log in to the platform regularly to manage their risk and report on progress because they trust the data they see in Nucleus.

"We built Nucleus Security to solve the issues we faced in our jobs as vulnerability analysts and managers, so we understand firsthand what organizations need when it comes to vulnerability and exposure management," said Steve Carter, co-founder and CEO of Nucleus Security. "We've invested significantly in developing and perfecting those features and capabilities, so it's incredibly validating to us to be recognized for them in this IDC MarketScape."

The IDC MarketScape states, "Traditional vulnerability management is slowly evolving to more holistic exposure management within security organizations. Those that are placing more emphasis on proactive cybersecurity can find solutions that help them evaluate their entire attack surface holistically, illuminate the exposures in their environment, prioritize their risks, and integrate with remediation workflows to close the gaps." As a vulnerability and exposure management platform, Nucleus is positioned to help customers mature their security programs rapidly. Nucleus' platform is purpose-built for large-scale deployments, with horizontal scalability so data can be ingested and refreshed quickly. It unifies and correlates high volumes of asset, threat, and vulnerability data from a wide range of sources, eliminating silos to provide a holistic view of an organization's data environments.
