Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions handle highly sensitive data and are prime targets for cyberattacks, requiring robust external threat visibility and risk management to maintain customer trust and regulatory compliance.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations manage protected health information (PHI) and face strict regulations like HIPAA, necessitating continuous monitoring of their external attack surface to prevent breaches and ensure patient data privacy.
Retail & Hospitality
Retailers and hospitality businesses process vast amounts of customer payment data and personal information, making them attractive targets for attackers seeking financial gain or data theft, thus requiring strong external security posture.
Legal & Professional Services
Law firms and professional service providers handle confidential client information, making the protection of their external digital assets critical to maintaining client confidentiality and professional reputation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external attack surface?
An organization's external attack surface refers to all the components and entry points that are accessible from the internet. This includes websites, servers, cloud instances, APIs, and any other digital assets exposed externally.
How does External Attack Surface Management differ from traditional vulnerability scanning?
While vulnerability scanning focuses on known weaknesses within your network, EASM provides a holistic view of your entire external footprint, including unknown or unmanaged assets, and maps potential attack paths from an attacker's perspective.
Can this service help with compliance requirements?
Yes, by providing visibility and control over your external-facing assets and identifying potential data exposure, EASM can significantly contribute to meeting various compliance mandates related to data security and risk management.
