Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions face stringent regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and GDPR, making continuous monitoring of their external attack surface critical to prevent data breaches and maintain customer trust.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations handle sensitive patient data (PHI) and must comply with HIPAA, requiring robust security measures to protect against external threats that could compromise patient privacy and operational continuity.
Retail & Hospitality
Retailers and hospitality businesses often manage large volumes of customer data and payment information, making their external-facing systems prime targets for attackers seeking financial gain or disruption.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Industrial control systems and operational technology (OT) environments are increasingly connected to the internet, creating new external attack vectors that could lead to production downtime or safety incidents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external attack surface?
An organization's external attack surface refers to all the digital assets and entry points that are accessible from the internet. This includes websites, servers, cloud instances, IoT devices, and any other internet-connected resources that could be targeted by cyber attackers.
How does External Attack Surface Management differ from vulnerability scanning?
While vulnerability scanning focuses on identifying known weaknesses within a defined network perimeter, External Attack Surface Management takes a broader view. It discovers all external assets, including those unknown to IT, and assesses them from an attacker's perspective to map potential attack paths and prioritize risks.
Can this solution detect insider threats?
No, External Attack Surface Management is specifically designed to identify and manage risks originating from outside the organization's network perimeter. It focuses on threats and vulnerabilities accessible via the internet.
