What Is Attack Surface Management?

 ASM is the ongoing process or cycle of discovery, inventory, monitoring, and mitigation of potential vulnerabilities across all digital and physical assets an organization controls. This means identifying every access point, application, device, and service threat actors could exploit.

Components of an Attack Surface

• External Attack Surface: Comprises the total externally accessible digital assets, including public-facing websites, APIs, and cloud environments.

• Internal Attack Surface: Internally exposed systems, databases, and networks due to employee mistakes or insider threats.

• Dynamic Attack Surface: Dynamic assets change frequently and include cloud configurations, temporary servers, and user devices.

 As more employees have transitioned to home working, the cyber attack surface has grown exponentially with the continued adoption of the cloud. Cloud security is required to deal with these associated risks.

 Why Does Attack Surface Management Matter?

 The increasing sophistication of cyber threats drives demand for continuous visibility into the vulnerabilities within your organization. Quite rightly, the traditional perimeter-focused security controls—firewalls and endpoint protection—are no longer sufficient.

 Critical Benefits of Attack Surface Management Services:

• Comprehensive Asset Visibility: Identify all assets connected to your network.

• Threat Prioritization: Focus on vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited.

• Reduced Exposure to Risk: Mitigate risks before they can be exploited.

• Assurance of Regulatory Compliance: Ensure global standards such as GDPR, CCPA, and NIST are met.
