External Attack Surface Management

Identify and proactively protect known and unknown internet-facing assets before they can be exploited.

External Attack Surface Management

Your External Attack Surface is Bigger and Growing Faster Than You Think It Is

Externally exposed digital assets create a wide attack surface for cybercriminals. Yet most organizations are not fully aware of the constantly changing scope of their internet-facing assets and services. Are you effectively protecting your hidden digital cyber risks?

Common unmonitored and unmanaged exposures include:

  • forgotten cloud services
  • server misconfigurations
  • expired hostnames and weak certificates
  • abandoned development and demo projects
