Use Case

Attack Surface Exposure

Discover, remediate, and protect exposed assets and data against external threats.

You Can't Protect What You Can't See

Your external attack surface encompasses a growing number of managed and unsanctioned “shadow” internet-facing IT assets, including web applications, software, and cloud resources. Many of these may have vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that cyber attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access to your systems and data.

Use Attack Surface Exposure, our intelligence-driven external attack surface management (EASM) module, to help your security team discover your internet-facing assets, and prioritize remediation with timely, accurate and relevant cyber threat intelligence (CTI). The Attack Surface Exposure module helps security teams reduce risk and prioritize patching by mapping weaponized vulnerabilities, underground mentions, and malware to your externally-exposed digital assets. The module’s transparent risk-scoring dashboard helps teams to anticipate threats, and make threat-informed decisions to improve their security posture and digital resilience.
