We believe PlexTrac’s recognition in the Magic Quadrant validates the company’s trajectory in meeting the market’s growing need, as many organizations are still navigating how to adopt CTEM. PlexTrac’s easy-to-use and intuitive design delivers a practical and streamlined path forward for enterprises and MSSPs to begin adopting the CTEM framework, offering immediate time-to-value without the heavy lift of lengthy deployments or complex implementation, especially valuable for teams with limited resources or technical expertise. It delivers an immediate need while offering the flexibility and scalability to support future programs as they grow and mature.

"PlexTrac was founded as a pentest reporting platform for red teamers, with a mission of helping cybersecurity teams win the right battles by focusing on the vulnerabilities most likely to lead to compromise. That guiding mission has never wavered. As attack surfaces have expanded and the challenges facing defenders have grown more complex, we’ve expanded our platform to meet the industry where it is today,” said Dan DeCloss, Founder of PlexTrac.

“PlexTrac not only streamlines manual engagements, but unifies exposures from across tools and assessments into one centralized workflow. This helps teams quickly identify and focus on the risks that matter most, orchestrate effective remediation, and drive measurable outcomes. We believe this recognition validates how far we’ve come and the critical role PlexTrac plays in shaping the future of exposure management," said Andy Langsam, CEO of PlexTrac.

As a fast-growing player recognized alongside larger, long-established vendors, we believe PlexTrac’s inclusion affirms its differentiated value: a powerful yet adaptable platform built on pentest reporting roots that make it uniquely effective at streamlining and executing all forms of proactive assessments. It solves the challenge of centralizing manual assessment data with exposures from automated tools, delivering the unified workflows today’s security teams need to meet the broader demands of exposure management and stay ahead in a dynamic threat landscape.

By centralizing data from scanners, manual assessments, and remediation workflows into one unified workflow, PlexTrac serves as the connective tissue that helps teams prioritize and act on what matters most.

ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Muslim pilgrims from around the world congregated on Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, the second official day of the annual Islamic pilgrimage, considered the pinnacle of the Hajj.

Despite the sweltering heat, the pilgrims gathered on the rocky hill and surrounding plain for intense prayers and worship that often mark a spiritual peak for them. They fervently murmured prayers and poured their hearts out in supplications. Many raised their hands in worship. It is common for pilgrims on that day, some with tears streaming down their faces, to ask God for forgiveness, mercy, blessings and good health.

The Hajj, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is required once in a lifetime for every Muslim who can afford it and is physically able to perform it.

For pilgrims, the Hajj, performed over several days, can be a deeply moving spiritual experience and a chance to seek God’s forgiveness and the erasure of past sins. As they brave the intense heat to perform religious rituals, many pilgrims have been using umbrellas for shade.

A Saudi official said on Friday that more than 1.5 million pilgrims have arrived in the country from abroad.

This year, Muslims have been pouring into Saudi Arabia for the Hajj against the backdrop of a tenuous ceasefire in the Iran war and related uncertainty in the region.

The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats used to lay mines, even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations with Tehran were “proceeding nicely." Iran on Tuesday denounced the most recent U.S. strikes as a sign of “bad faith and unreliability” as negotiations pressed on toward a possible deal to end the war.

For many, performing the Hajj can be a realization of a lifelong dream as they spend years hoping and praying to one day be able to undertake the pilgrimage or saving up money and waiting for a permit to embark on the trip.

“This happens once in a lifetime,” Mohammad Asal, an Egyptian pilgrim, said. “People here have prepared their prayers, hoping that God will respond to them, because we know that ... the most important ritual of the Hajj is being in Arafat.”

The Hajj brings together large numbers of Muslims of diverse races, ethnicities, languages and socioeconomic classes, creating a sense of unity for many. It’s a mass, communal experience, with Muslims performing rituals together. But it is also deeply personal, as every pilgrim brings their own yearnings and experiences.

“It was incredible,” Ahmed Sufyan, a pilgrim from the United States, said on Tuesday. “The unity and peace that we feel is something I’ve never experienced before,” he added via WhatsApp.

“Our wishes are many,” Mohammad Obaid, a Sudanese pilgrim, said, adding he was praying for Sudan and Muslims everywhere.
