Repositioning for the preemptive security era
Three years ago, I started hearing the same question from security leaders: “Why are there critical attack paths running straight through our networks, when our vulnerability scans are clean?”
Network devices underpin every security strategy. Network devices also present unique assessment challenges that traditional vulnerability management platforms were not designed to solve deterministically.
Unlike servers with standardized APIs, routers, switches, firewalls, SD-WAN appliances and wireless access points expose fragmented, vendor-proprietary CLI dialects, encrypted configurations, and interdependent rules that must be analyzed holistically.
Titania's virtual device modeling technology analyzes the entire configuration state – routing tables, access control lists, NAT rules, VPN tunnels, and filtering policies – as a unified model, revealing shadowed rules, ineffective objects, and attack paths that emerge only from device-to-device interactions.
This full-context analysis helps teams identify exploitable weaknesses that can be missed when risk is inferred from incomplete configuration context.
Pioneering this technology has been Titania’s mission for a long time, and Nipper has consistently ranked at the top of risk-based vulnerability management tools.
Network security professionals depend on Nipper to give them sight of the security posture of infrastructure devices, but their challenge became how to use this technology to assess larger scale, more complex networks, on a more regular basis. Especially as risk management frameworks have started to shift away from periodic sampling, toward ongoing assurance of every device.
It’s why we started developing an enterprise-grade platform that could aggregate Nipper findings to provide threat-informed oversight of the entire network – mapping exposure trends, segmentation weaknesses, and configuration drift – so security leaders can prioritize what matters and reduce risk before it becomes an incident.
Gartner calls this Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM) – identifying exposures before exploitation. Their April 2026 Emerging Tech research* categorizes Titania’s solution within Preemptive Exposure Assessment (PEA) – one of the PEM subcategories – describing it as: “A domain-specialized PEA platform for network infrastructure.”
Our platform:
- Automates deep configuration drift and posture assessments for switches, routers, and firewalls at scale, overlaying risk signals to prioritize critical exposures, compromise, and compliance gaps.
- Discovers assets and config changes natively via credentialed access or CMDB aggregation to build routing-enabled attack path maps.
- Generates device-specific guidance and drives mobilization by orchestrating pretested hardening changes via ITSM/CMDB integrations to neutralize exposures and reduce attack surfaces.
As of today, we are calling this platform, Nipper OmniSight (previously Nipper Resilience).
This isn’t a cosmetic change – rather, a response to market evolution and analyst recognition.
And in response to our beta program feedback, Nipper OmniSight (Standalone) is now available, so assessment teams can deploy the Standalone tier of Nipper OmniSight to run scheduled, repeatable, configuration-validated exposure assessments – without a CMDB or SIEM dependency.
This means network owners can start reducing exposure created by misconfiguration, segmentation gaps, and risky change now, instead of waiting for their next integration project to finish.
Nipper OmniSight (Standalone) is key to enabling some of our existing users to transition from domain-specialized Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) to domain-specialized Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM), in a way that best suits their use cases and is aligned to their network security transformation journey.
Equally as importantly, we continue to invest in our infrastructure assessment capabilities to better reflect the realities of our customers: distributed networks and connected, as well as air-gapped, environments.
The new name for Nipper – Nipper InfraSight – underlines this commitment as SD-WAN and WAP infrastructure assessments are now available in version 4.0 of the software.
The latest versions of both Nipper OmniSight and Nipper InfraSight will be revealed in our upcoming webinar. Hope to see you there!
