External Attack Surface Management (EASM) enables organizations to continuously discover and monitor all internet-facing assets, reducing vulnerabilities before they are exploited by attackers. By providing comprehensive visibility, risk prioritization, and automated remediation, EASM empowers security teams to proactively manage cyber risks on a dynamic digital landscape. #EASM #Outpost24
Keypoints
- EASM involves discovering, inventorying, and assessing all externally accessible digital assets.
- It uses automated tools like active scans, passive DNS analysis, and OSINT for asset discovery.
- Continuous monitoring detects changes and asset drift over time, helping to identify new vulnerabilities.
- Risk scores based on asset criticality and exploitability help prioritize remediation efforts.
- Implementing EASM improves collaboration across security, IT, and DevOps teams and reduces attack surface exposure.
