Overview
Attackers start from the outside. They list your domains, find forgotten test servers and look for administration pages left open. Many organizations have never seen their network the way an attacker does.
We show you your internet-facing footprint as an outsider sees it, rank the exposures and set up monitoring so new ones are caught early.
What you get
- A current list of every internet-facing asset, including forgotten and unmanaged ones
- Exposed services, expired certificates and risky settings found early
- A named owner for each exposed asset
- Findings ranked by how easily an attacker could use them
What we cover
- Discovery of domains, subdomains, IP ranges and cloud services
- Detection of open ports, exposed administration pages and outdated software
- Certificate and DNS monitoring
- Shadow IT and third-party services linked to your organization
- Alerts and reports for new exposures
- Handover to vulnerability management and penetration testing
How we work
-
Scope
We agree your domains, brands and known address ranges as starting points.
-
Discover
We run external discovery and compare the results with what IT believes it owns.
-
Prioritize
We rate each exposure by exploitability and business importance, and assign owners.
-
Monitor and hand over
We set up continuous monitoring, alerts and a review routine for your team.
Deliverables
- Internet-facing asset inventory with owners
- Prioritized exposure report
- Configured continuous monitoring and alerts
- Review routine and administrator training
Questions buyers ask
How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
A scan checks the assets you point it at. Attack surface management first finds the assets, including ones you did not know about, and then checks them.
Does it test our internal network?
No. It looks at what an outside attacker can see. Internal assets are covered by CAASM and vulnerability management.
