You can’t secure what you don’t know exists. Attack surface management helps organizations gain visibility into and reduce risks on their attack surface. Internal and external attack surface management are both necessary due to the dynamic nature of organizations pursuing a move to the cloud. Organizations can reduce the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches by minimizing the number of entry points and vulnerabilities in their systems and networks. Minimization ensures your organization has a comprehensive and continuously updated inventory of all internet-facing assets and associated risks. Assessing and estimating your company’s entire attack surface not only enables a clearer picture of your company’s cybersecurity needs but also provides a more realistic cost-benefit analysis of each asset. Shrinking your attack surface and applying the resources you have to the remaining surface is the best way of reducing risk and building a strong defence.
