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 from the internet. This includes websites, servers, cloud services, and any other internet-facing assets.
How does this service differ from internal vulnerability scanning?
Internal vulnerability scanning focuses on threats within your network perimeter. External attack surface management focuses specifically on what is visible and accessible to attackers from the outside world.
Is this a replacement for endpoint security?
No, external attack surface management is a complementary security layer. It focuses on the perimeter and external exposure, while endpoint security protects individual devices within your network.
