Given the fact that most organisations are moving to the cloud and
software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications are becoming increasingly important, the
cyber attack surface of businesses is also getting bigger. With remote work and
global digitalisation, attacks are also becoming smarter and more complex, making it
challenging for most businesses to identify and prevent them.
In this digital world, almost any asset the company holds now can become an appealing
target and a weak spot for cybercriminals; it is now more important than ever for
companies to improve attack surface visibility across assets. This includes every
asset, known or unknown, located in the cloud, digital or physical.
Attack surface management, or ASM for short, refers to the continuous discovery,
inventory, classification and monitoring of an organisation's tech infrastructure.
While some confuse this term with asset discovery and management, ASM approaches
these and other security tasks from a hacker's perspective. This guarantees that the
security measures can cover all attacker-exposed IT assets accessible from within or
outside an organisation, including assets available on the internet and assets in
suppliers' infrastructures.
