# Who Are You Really Connected To?

Your backend systems are connected to hundreds of third-party services, creating a massive, invisible attack surface. Qpoint discovers every outbound connection and classifies the data inside, turning your biggest blind spot into your biggest strength.

## The Problem

### The Invisible Supply Chain

If a Vendor in Your Supply Chain is Breached, Are You Exposed?

You can't answer that question because you don't know what data you're sending them. Modern applications rely on a complex web of third-party APIs, but since the traffic is encrypted, you're blind to the risk.

## Key Pains

### Unknown Connections

You can't produce a complete, real-time inventory of every third-party service your applications connect to.

### Invisible Data

You have no idea if PII, credentials, or other sensitive data is being sent to vendors.

### Manual Investigations

When a vendor announces a breach, it takes days or weeks of manual effort to determine your exposure.

## The Solution

### From Blind Spot to Certainty

See Every Connection. Classify Every Payload.

Qpoint provides the ground truth for your third-party data risk by observing traffic directly from the Linux kernel, bypassing encryption to give you a complete and immediate inventory.

## Key Capabilities

### Discover Every Connection

Instantly generate a real-time map of every external service your backend communicates with.

### Classify Sensitive Data

Automatically scan payloads to detect and classify PII, PCI, PHI, and other sensitive data patterns.

### Quantify Your Risk

Prioritize threats based on actual data exposure, not just guesswork.

### Accelerate Incident Response

Get an immediate, definitive answer on your exposure during a third-party breach.
