Attack Surface Exposure
Discover, remediate, and protect exposed assets and data against external threats.

You Can't Protect What You Can't See
Your external attack surface encompasses a growing number of managed and unsanctioned “shadow” internet-facing IT assets, including web applications, software, and cloud resources. Many of these may have vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that cyber attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access to your systems and data.
Use Attack Surface Exposure, our intelligence-driven external attack surface management (EASM) module, to help your security team discover your internet-facing assets, and prioritize remediation with timely, accurate and relevant cyber threat intelligence (CTI). The Attack Surface Exposure module helps security teams reduce risk and prioritize patching by mapping weaponized vulnerabilities, underground mentions, and malware to your externally-exposed digital assets. The module’s transparent risk-scoring dashboard helps teams to anticipate threats, and make threat-informed decisions to improve their security posture and digital resilience.
The Difference: CTI Data That is Timely, Accurate, Relevant
Vulnerability Insights
Correlation of NVD CVEs with Intel 471's intelligence on exploit status, and whether the CVE has been discussed in open source or underground forums
Malware Insights
Malware family name, malicious IP addresses, and C2 infrastructure associated with your IPs or domains
Open-Source Insights
Targeted, high-quality open-source intelligence (OSINT)
Powerful Threat Alerting
Mentions of your entity in breach alerts, intelligence reports, and data extortion leak sites
