PINCHER

Attack Surface Management Reinvented

Proactively secure your digital footprint with real-time intelligence and adaptive monitoring.

What is Pincher?

Pincher is a next-generation Attack Surface Management (ASM) platform built by the cybersecurity experts at Brackish Security. Designed to adapt and scale with your business, Pincher continuously monitors your organization’s external digital footprint—identifying vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.

Whether you’re managing traditional infrastructure, cloud environments, or third-party integrations, Pincher helps you stay one step ahead by detecting exposed assets like web applications, IoT devices, and API endpoints.

67% of organizations saw their attack surfaces expand in the past 12 months.

69% were compromised by unknown or poorly managed internet-facing assets.
