It integrates into existing security operations to provide critical intelligence for threat hunting and vulnerability management.
- External Asset Discovery: Automatically identifies all internet-facing assets, including shadow IT.
- Vulnerability Detection: Scans for misconfigurations, exposed services, and known vulnerabilities.
- Attack Vector Analysis: Maps potential attack paths an adversary could take.
- Risk Prioritization: Ranks vulnerabilities based on exploitability and business impact.
- Compliance Reporting: Generates reports to demonstrate due diligence for external security posture.
This solution empowers SMB and mid-market teams to gain enterprise-grade visibility and control over their external attack surface without significant overhead.
What This Solves
Identify External Shadow IT Assets
Enable teams to discover and catalog all internet-facing assets, including unauthorized or forgotten systems. This ensures that all potential entry points are accounted for and secured.
cloud-first environments, hybrid IT infrastructure, decentralized IT management, rapid growth organizations, remote workforce enablement
Prioritize Vulnerability Remediation
Streamline the process of addressing security weaknesses by automatically prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their exploitability and potential business impact. This allows IT teams to focus resources on the most critical threats first.
resource constrained IT teams, compliance driven operations, risk management frameworks, incident response planning, proactive security posture
Map Potential Attack Paths
Automate the visualization of how attackers might traverse the external network to reach critical internal systems. This provides a clear understanding of attack vectors and helps in strengthening defenses along likely paths.
advanced threat intelligence needs, security operations center (SOC) integration, penetration testing support, red team exercises, defense in depth strategy

Maps potential attack routes an adversary could take, helping security teams understand and prioritize risks based on exploitability.
Risk-Based Prioritization Engine
Ranks identified vulnerabilities by their potential impact and ease of exploitation, allowing IT teams to focus on the most critical threats first.
Compliance and Reporting Tools
Generates reports that help demonstrate due diligence for external security posture, aiding in meeting regulatory requirements.
Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions handle highly sensitive data and are prime targets for cyberattacks, requiring robust external security to comply with regulations like PCI DSS and protect customer information.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations must protect patient data (PHI) under HIPAA, making continuous monitoring of external-facing systems critical to prevent breaches and maintain patient trust.
Government & Public Sector
Government agencies face significant cybersecurity threats and must adhere to strict security mandates like NIST frameworks to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive citizen data.
Retail & Hospitality
Retailers and hospitality businesses often manage large volumes of customer data and payment information, necessitating strong external security to prevent data theft and maintain brand reputation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an external attack surface?
An organization's external attack surface refers to all the points at which an external attacker can try to enter or extract data from a system. This includes internet-facing servers, applications, websites, APIs, and cloud services.
How does this service differ from internal vulnerability scanning?
Internal scanning focuses on vulnerabilities within your private network. External attack surface management specifically targets risks visible and exploitable from the public internet, addressing a different but equally critical threat vector.
Is this a replacement for a firewall or intrusion detection system?
No, this service complements firewalls and IDS/IPS by providing visibility into what attackers can see and target externally. It helps ensure your perimeter defenses are configured correctly and that no unauthorized or vulnerable assets are exposed.
