Attack Surface Management FAQs
An attack surface is comprised of all vulnerabilities, pathways, or methods, otherwise known as attack vectors, that a hacker may exploit to infiltrate networks, access sensitive data, or execute cyberattacks without authorization.
Attack Surface Monitoring continuously scans and tracks an organization’s digital assets, identifying vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors. It helps security teams stay aware of risks and take proactive measures to protect systems.
Attack Surface Management (ASM) safeguards against cyber threats by providing companies with comprehensive insights into their internal and external attack surfaces, encompassing all vulnerabilities, entry points, and potential avenues for attacks from various sources.
ASM covers a range of digital assets, including but not limited to:
- Websites and web applications
- Domain names
- Cloud resources
- IoT devices
- APIs
- Mobile apps
- Shadow IT resources
- Third-party integrations
ASM offers numerous benefits, including:
- Reduction in overall cyber risk
- Improved security posture
- Comprehensive visibility into the external attack surface
- Better regulatory compliance
- Reduced likelihood of data breaches and associated costs
External Attack Surface Management oversees cybersecurity vulnerabilities linked to an organization’s outward-facing digital resources. This method encompasses vigilant surveillance, detection, minimization, and alleviation of risks within an organization’s external attack surface.
An attack vector serves as the pathway or method through which an attacker or hacker gains entry to a computer or network server, intending to deploy a harmful payload or achieve a malicious outcome. These vectors empower hackers to exploit system vulnerabilities, encompassing technical weaknesses and exploiting human factors within the system.
The frequency of conducting these assessments relies on various factors, such as the organization’s size, the intricacy of its attack surface, and the associated risk level. Optimal practice suggests that rather than intermittently, attack surface management should ideally occur on a continuous basis.
Determining the priority for addressing vulnerabilities depends on factors such as the organization’s attack surface, risk level, and exploit potential. Organizations should prioritize based on severity ratings, the probability of exploitation, impact on business operations, and the criticality of compromised assets.
Attack surface management comprises various core functions operations such as asset identification, vulnerability evaluation, threat modeling, and risk administration. Asset discovery specifically focuses on recognizing every device and system linked to an organization’s network.
To mitigate Attack Surface risks, organizations must first fully assess the extent of their Attack Surface across websites, portals, apps, etc. Once the Attack Surface has been mapped, organizations can audit all aspects of their Attack Surface to address any weaknesses, patch vulnerabilities, and consolidate vulnerable online assets in preparation for remediation efforts.
ASM can help protect against incidences of cyberattacks by assessing the entire attack surface, bringing to light any vulnerabilities or security flaws/exposures. Once these are identified, an organization’s infosec team can initiate remedial measures to secure their attack surface, either intenally or with the help of Cyber Threat Intelligence such as Cyble.

Attack Surface Management (ASM) helps to reduce the attack surface by identifying, analyzing, and mitigating vulnerabilities associated with a company’s digital assets. ASM tools are experts in detecting and eliminating unwanted or exposed assets, misconfiguration, and other security flaws that cybercriminals could exploit by continuously monitoring and assessing internal and external assets. This proactive approach ensures that potential entry points are decreased so that cyber threats are reduced, hence minimizing the company’s overall risk.
Attack Surface Management, or ASM, finds exposed assets and related vulnerabilities for prioritization and remediation. ASM scans external and internal attack surfaces, offering continuous monitoring, threat intelligence integration, and real-time insights. It helps companies understand their digital footprint, find shadow IT, and ensure compliance with regulatory needs. By prioritizing risk based on criticality, ASM helps efficient resource allocation and swift incident response.
Attack Surface Mapping is the procedure to identify and document all entry of digital assets that cybercriminals could exploit within a company’s infrastructure. It includes external and internal assets like applications, servers, networks, and API endpoints. These digital assets aim to create a comprehensive inventory of these assets by understanding their interconnections and assessing their security posture to mitigate vulnerabilities effectively.
External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is identifying and analyzing applications, cloud services, and network infrastructure accessible from outside the company. EASM includes continuous monitoring and securing exposed assets to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access by cybercriminals or threat actors. The primary function of EASM is to proactively mitigate risk based on external attack surfaces for safeguarding against potential cyber threats.
