Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Sweepatic is a legitimate External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform founded in 2016 and acquired by Outpost24 in June 2023. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction (successful exit), the submission quality is critically low. The submitter provided false claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', 'most people have used') which contradict the B2B enterprise nature of the product. The score reflects the verified success of the technology, heavily penalized by the lack of accurate data provided in the submission.

Description
Sweepatic is a European leader in External Attack Surface Management. Our cloud-based platform automates the continuous mapping, monitoring, and managing of all internet-connected assets and risks. Running 24/7, the Sweepatic Platform delivers attack surface observations via high-impact notifications and an easy-to-use dashboard. In this way, Sweepatic supports organizations in structuring and reducing their external attack surface – making them an unpopular target for bad actors.\nSweepatic has its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium, and was founded in late 2016.
