Attack Surface Management Platform Services
CyberSecOp External Attack Surface Management's continuous discovery, inventory, classification, and monitoring of an organization's IT infrastructure is known as attack surface management. Although the term sounds similar to asset discovery and asset management, CyberSecOp approaches these and other security tasks from the perspective of an attacker.
Attack surface management (ASM) is the continuous discovery, analysis, remediation, and monitoring of an organization's cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors.
Unlike other cybersecurity disciplines, ASM is conducted entirely from the perspective of a hacker rather than the defender. It identifies targets and evaluates risks based on the opportunities they provide a malicious attacker. ASM employs many of the same methods and resources that hackers do. Many ASM tasks and technologies are devised and carried out by 'ethical hackers' who are familiar with cybercriminals' behaviors and adept at replicating their actions.

Attack Surface Management services
Continuously discover, evaluate, and mitigate attack surface risk; with a complete asset inventory, discover the attack surface you didn’t know existed, find vulnerabilities before attackers, and mitigate risks proactively. Every external-facing asset provides attackers with another way to get inside your organization. CyberSecOp Security identifies your entire attack surface so that no threats can slip under the radar.
Data Leak Security Scorecard
The data leak module employs chatter and deep web monitoring capabilities to detect compromised credentials distributed by hackers.
Network Security Attack Surface Management
The Network Security module searches public datasets for evidence of high-risk or insecure open ports within the organization's network. ASM helps make your SOC more efficient, reducing the human effort to inventory assets, evaluate risks, and investigate stakeholder information, as well as eliminating the need for point-in-time analysis programs. A major concern for CISOs is the downtime and remediation associated with ransomware and data breaches more generally. ASM can be incredibly valuable in reducing the costs associated with cyberattacks by helping discover exposures, prioritize risk management, and ensure risks are remediated before they can be exploited.
DNS Security Attack Surface Management
The DNS Health module monitors and configures an organization's DNS settings. It verifies that no malicious events occurred in the organization's network's passive DNS history.
Missed Patch Cadence Attack Surface Identifier
The Patching Cadence module measures vulnerability risk mitigation practices by analyzing how quickly an organization installs security updates.
Application Attack Surface management
The Application Security module gathers threat intelligence from known exploitable conditions identified through whitehat CVE databases, blackhat exploits databases, and sensitive findings indexed by major search engines.
What is Attack Surface Management?
Attack surface management is the continuous discovery, monitoring, evaluation, prioritization, and remediation of attack vectors within an organization’s IT infrastructure.
To begin, it is critical to understand what we mean by the attack surface. An attack surface is the sum of an organization's attacker-exposed IT assets, whether these digital assets are secure or vulnerable, known or unknown, in active use or not, regardless of IT or security team is aware of them. The attack surface of an organization evolves and includes digital assets on-premises, in the cloud, and subsidiary networks, as well as those in the environments of third-party vendors.
Attack Surface Management benefit
Attack surface management is the practice of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential vulnerabilities in a system or network that could be exploited by attackers. The benefits of implementing an attack surface management program include the following:
Improved security: By identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities, an attack surface management program can help to improve the overall security posture of an organization.
Reduced risk of data breaches: By identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities, an attack surface management program can help to reduce the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.
Enhanced compliance: Many regulatory standards and frameworks, such as PCI DSS and NIST 800-53, require organizations to have a process to manage their attack surface. Implementing an attack surface management program can help organizations meet these requirements.
Improved efficiency: By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities proactively, an attack surface management program can help organizations avoid the need for reactive responses to security incidents, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Enhanced reputation: By demonstrating a commitment to security and reducing the risk of data breaches, an attack surface management program can help organizations to maintain a positive reputation with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
CyberSecOp can help your organization implement an attack surface management program that focuses on identifying and analyzing potential vulnerabilities and exposed data within your system or network. This is an essential aspect of attack surface management, as it helps to identify potential vulnerabilities and data leaks that could be exploited by attackers. By feeding this information into your platform and providing a severity rating, description, and detection date, you can prioritize your efforts to address the most critical vulnerabilities and data leaks first. Additionally, by keeping track of the status of each identified vulnerability or data leak, you can ensure that you are taking appropriate action to mitigate these risks. Overall, this approach to attack surface management can help to improve the security posture of your organization and reduce the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.
