External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is crucial for reducing risks associated with unknown and unmanaged digital assets, which are responsible for over 65% of breaches. This post provides practical guidance on budgeting for EASM, including cost ranges, staffing requirements, and justifications based on risk reduction, labor savings, and operational efficiencies. Learn how EASM can optimize your security investments while improving your organization’s overall cybersecurity posture.
Savvy security leaders are moving from the legacy framework of vulnerability management to the emerging framework of exposure management.
