Industry Applications
Education & Research
Educational institutions manage vast amounts of sensitive student and research data, making them prime targets. This service helps them identify and mitigate external attack vectors specific to academic networks and online learning platforms.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations handle highly sensitive patient data (PHI) and are subject to strict compliance regulations like HIPAA. EASM helps identify external exposures that could lead to data breaches or service disruptions.
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions are under constant threat from sophisticated attackers seeking financial data and PII. Continuous monitoring of their external attack surface is crucial for maintaining trust and regulatory compliance (e.g., PCI DSS, GLBA).
Government & Public Sector
Government agencies manage critical infrastructure and sensitive citizen data, making them high-value targets. EASM helps identify and secure external-facing systems against nation-state and cybercriminal threats.
