The Top Five Requirements for External Attack Surface Management

As organizations adapt to the structural changes imposed by digital transformation, they find it near impossible to identify, classify, and monitor all of their internet-facing assets.

This problem becomes magnified as organizations grow in complexity through expansion along with mergers and acquisitions, thereby making their asset portfolios reach into the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. Losing track of these assets provides easy opportunities for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in an organization’s attack surface that do not comply with their security protocols.

Deploying an external attack surface management program helps organizations discover and map an organization’s entire external attack surface and identifies the business context of assets. It then tests the attack surface, looking for the path of least resistance which can be found in critical points of exposure that attackers can most easily exploit.

Join Rob Gurzeev, CEO of CyCognito, as he explains the top five requirements to launch a successful external attack surface management program.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to discover your organization’s entire external attack surface to gain ultimate visibility into all your company’s assets thereby reducing the surface area for potential threats
• How to attribute assets to their propers owners so you can classify them by business purpose to streamline solutions to vulnerabilities
• How to automate continuous testing for your attack surface to fill in gaps in staff skill sets or resources to decrease time-to-detection (MTTD) and time-to-remediation (MTTR)
• How to create a scoring model by business risk to cut down on alert noise and prioritize the biggest risks so teams know where to focus immediately
• How to integrate into existing vulnerability management workflows and providing actionable remediation planning to achieve your risk management goals
