Attack Surface
Intelligence
Discover and defend your changing external attack surface.
Why choose this Module?
Attack Surface Intelligence provides an outside-in view of your organization to help you actively discover, prioritize, and respond to exposures across your external attack surface. Identify and inventory internet-facing assets, understand potential risks, and take action to reduce or manage risk.
Uncover blind spots with automated asset discovery.
Automate attack surface discovery
Automate attack surface discovery.
Attack Surface Intelligence provides customized, automated, and continuous discovery of external assets associated with your organization for a real-time inventory, and it delivers valuable information for easy investigations.
Identify critical weaknesses
Identify critical weaknesses.
Take the same view as an external threat actor to uncover vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed admin panels and additional entry points that could be exploited. Dynamic scoring, context, and evidence for exposures improves communication with different teams for quick remediation.
Improve policy enforcement
Improve policy enforcement.
Reduce opportunities for risk by continually checking if new assets adhere to your appropriate policies and standards. Easily investigate to ensure out-of-policy assets are placed in a defensible position or taken offline.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
What outcomes can I expect after implementing Attack Surface Intelligence?
The Module can deliver the following outcomes:
- Automated discovery and tracking of internet-facing assets associated with your organization
- Improved exposure detection and analysis to help prioritize remediation efforts
- Easy identification of out-of-policy assets to enforce security controls
How does Attack Surface Intelligence monitor my external attack surface?
Attack Surface Intelligence takes a multi-level approach to scanning different asset types in numerous ways, which enables you to monitor your attack surface from the perspective of an attacker. This type of modeling ensures that risk can be mitigated from the network layer all the way to the application layer. When Attack Surface Intelligence initiates a scan, each individual host goes through a series of different checks, matches, and milestones to determine risk. Information collected is then paired up with a comprehensive inventory of over a decade of historical SSL certification and WHOIS datasets to create a complete profile of the attack surface and relevant risks.
Can Attack Surface Intelligence help decrease risk from mergers and acquisitions?
Yes. When a parent company acquires a subsidiary through M&A activity, they absorb the existing security posture of that subsidiary. This can impact the overall security of the parent company and increase their attack surface. Attack Surface Intelligence helps organizations gain a better understanding of asset ownership and potential asset sprawl post-acquisition. Visibility into high risk CVEs and unprotected mission-critical assets that belong to the subsidiary allows that parent company to prioritize areas of concern that need to be fixed.
How is Attack Surface Intelligence different from a vulnerability scanner?
Attack Surface Intelligence doesn’t replace vulnerability scanning tools and capabilities. Instead, it enhances existing processes and boosts the ROI of existing toolsets. It provides more complete vulnerability scanning by identifying assets that are unknown, running a specific service, located outside of a web application firewall, hosted by unapproved cloud providers, running end-of-life software, and more. In addition, with Attack Surface Intelligence you can understand a lot more about a specific target, and take alternate remediation strategies. Instead of pushing a large number of patches or doing a major update, you could shut the service off or take that target offline.
Can Attack Surface Intelligence integrate with my existing security tools and workflows?
Yes, Attack Surface Intelligence can be configured to push data into your ticketing systems, SOAR platforms, and SIEM solutions, or you can access the Attack Surface Intelligence API directly to action newly-identified exposures and affected assets.
What industries can benefit from Attack Surface Intelligence?
Attack Surface Intelligence can benefit a wide range of industries—especially those operating in highly regulated environments or those with extensive digital assets—including finance, healthcare, technology, government, and more.
