External Attack Surface Management
Identify and proactively protect known and unknown internet-facing assets before they can be exploited.
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 self-signed certificates pointing to internal IP addresses with weak encryption
- abandoned application development projects and marketing demo environments
Why External Attack Surface Management?
Security teams are stretched thin, constantly responding to security incidents and alerts, leaving assets exposed and ripe for attacker exploitation.
Zerofox External Attack Surface Management
The ZeroFox External Attack Surface Management (EASM) solution defines and maps your organization's internet-exposed attack surface, identifying known and unknown assets. It combines advanced identification techniques with contextual vulnerability intelligence and prioritization capabilities to enable rapid mitigation of potential threats across your digital attack surface.
- Discover and inventory digital assets
- Analyze and prioritize exposures and vulnerabilities
- Combat asset sprawl and shadow IT
- Detect data leakage
- Reduce phishing and social engineering attacks
- Adhere to regulatory compliance requirements
- Visualize your external digital risk from one view
Reduce Your Digital Risk
Discover and inventory
Utilize passive discovery to build an accurate inventory of your digital assets including domains, IP addresses, CIDR blocks, open ports, risky services, security certificates, shadow IT, server misconfigurations, code repositories, and more. Ongoing discoveries monitor for new exposures and changes to existing assets.
Detect and analyze risk
Continuously contextualize digital assets with Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), Common Vulnerability Scoring (CVSS), Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), and CISA KEV to enhance understanding.
Prioritize and remediate
Prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity, exposure type, potential impact, and real-world exploitability, along with other key factors. AI-driven recommendations enable rapid mitigation efforts to improve both detection (MTTD) and response (MTTR) times.
