Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external attack surface?
An organization's external attack surface refers to all the points where an attacker can attempt to breach its systems or networks from the outside. This includes websites, servers, cloud services, IoT devices, and any other internet-connected asset.
How does this service help reduce risk?
By continuously discovering and assessing external assets and vulnerabilities, this service allows organizations to identify and fix potential entry points before attackers can exploit them, thereby significantly reducing the risk of a breach.
Is this a replacement for internal vulnerability scanning?
No, External Attack Surface Management complements internal security measures like vulnerability scanning. It focuses specifically on the threats and exposures visible from the internet, providing a critical external perspective that internal tools may miss.
