PlexTracTM today announced it has been recognized by Gartner as a Niche Player in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms.

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.

The games have all been played. Now, it's time for a few more rounds of number crunching before the College Football Playoff bracket is revealed.

Among the few certainties when the pairings come out Sunday: Indiana (13-0) will enter the playoff at No. 1 and two of the folloiwng five teams will be crying up a storm: Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami, Duke and James Madison.

The first three will likely only get two spots in the 12-team bracket, as the selection committee will decide how much weight to place on Alabama's lopsided loss to Georgia on Saturday while the other two teams were idle.

And then the committee will have to decide whether Duke, unranked and with five losses, gets in over James Madison, which won the Sun Belt Conference and is 12-1. The Dukes are hoping to join American champion Tulane as a Group of Five gate-crasher: The CFP has never had two G5 teams in the mix before.

The four top-seeded teams will get first-round byes — starting with Indiana and probably including Ohio State, Georgia and Texas Tech — then the next eight will play games at the home stadiums of the higher-seeded teams beginning on Dec. 19. The next two rounds will take place Dec. 31-Jan. 1, then Jan. 8-9 at traditional bowl-game sites. The final is set for Jan. 19 outside of Miami.

The biggest debate and most of the second-guessing will center on the Alabama-Notre Dame-Miami decision.

Some believe the committee placed the Crimson Tide at No. 9, one spot ahead of the Fighting Irish, last week to create room for the Tide to lose, slide in the rankings but still make the field. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer says his team shouldn't be punished for advancing to a conference championship and losing.

“How can that hurt you and keep you out of the playoff?” he asked.

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman wants the committee comparing his team to Alabama because, that way, the Irish could presumably end up at 9 or 10 and squeak into the bracket.

What he doesn't want is for the committee to compare his team to No. 12 Miami. On Aug. 31, the Hurricanes beat the Irish, and if those two squads are ranked right next to each other, that head-to-head matchup could be the difference even if it seems like a long time ago.
