What is Attack Surface Management?

The attack surface is a term used in cybersecurity to describe the potential points of vulnerability that an attacker can target. It refers to how an attacker might gain unauthorized access to a system, network, or application. It includes anything allowing an attacker to exploit a weakness or vulnerability.

Attack Surface Management (EASM) is an organization's cyber security management service to manage and protect its digital attack surfaces. ASM detects, analyzes, reports, and manages all assets in an organization’s computing infrastructure and access points on their digital attack surfaces. As the digital presence of organizations on the internet increases, their attack surface increases at the same rate. This makes attack surface management more and more difficult. When the attack surface becomes uncontrollable, the organization can be seriously damaged by attackers. With Attack Surface Management, continuous monitoring is performed on the attack surfaces that need to be managed, and each digital asset is subjected to a security assessment. As a result, security problems on the attack surface are detected, reported, and resolved with ASM. In this way, the uncontrollability caused by the growth of the attack surface is eliminated.

ASM works with many different technologies. These technologies include vulnerability scanning tools, network scanners, web application security scanners, threat intelligence platforms, and artificial intelligence. With these technologies, ASM services detect all assets with customers’ digital attack surfaces, identify vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations to mitigate risks.

How External Attack Surface Management Works?

All assets and systems within the organization that may be vulnerable to cyber attacks are identified through Asset Discovery studies. The identified attack surface is continuously monitored in the future and is recreated with up-to-date data in case of a change.

Once digital assets are identified, security vulnerabilities, configuration problems, information disclosures, and all situations that may pose current or future threats are identified through various security assessments. Detected security problems are presented to the organization with details and mitigation methods.

Each problem detected with digital assets increases the security risk for the organization. ThreatMon calculates the security risk score of an organization by taking all the security problems detected on its external attack surface into account. The scoring recalculates according to newly detected and remediated security vulnerabilities.

After the external attack surface of the organization is discovered, it can be viewed from a single place, providing full control over digital assets. In this way, attack points can be identified, and the attack surface can be easily managed.

FAQ

The attack surface refers to all the potential points where a system or network could be vulnerable to an attack. The attack surface can encompass components such as computer networks, servers, workstations, mobile devices, cloud-based services, software applications, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.

Attack surface management is a security approach used to identify, monitor, evaluate, and manage the attack surface of a system or network. This approach involves minimising the attack surface and reducing security vulnerabilities.

With the transition of organizations from traditional business processes to digital business processes, the number of digital assets is rapidly increasing, and the likelihood of their digital assets facing the risk of a cyberattack is also growing. This situation brings with it the need for continuous management and monitoring of digital assets. Organizations need security solutions that will manage these digital assets, continuously monitor them and generate threat reporting due to the constant increase in their digital assets and the emergence of new security problems every day.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) can help organizations reduce their attack surfaces by identifying all assets and vulnerabilities, prioritizing them, implementing mitigation controls, and continuously monitoring the environment. By implementing ASM, organizations can reduce attack surfaces and improve their overall security posture.

Examples of attack surfaces vary depending on the specific system or network under consideration. These examples include network interfaces, web applications, operating systems, software applications, mobile devices, IoT devices, and cloud infrastructure.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) is a proactive security approach that involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in an organization's digital infrastructure. The process typically consists of Defining the scope, Inventorying, Mapping, Identifying vulnerabilities, Prioritizing, and Mitigating. Overall, ASM is an ongoing process that requires regular attention and updates to ensure the organization's digital infrastructure remains secure.
