What is Attack Surface Management?

An attack surface includes all potential entry points that unauthorized users could exploit to gain access to a system. In simpler terms, it encompasses all assets exposed to the internet, as well as vulnerabilities in an organization’s security infrastructure. For a deeper understanding, refer to the article: What is an Attack Surface?

Attack Surface Management (ASM) is the ongoing process of identifying, evaluating, and reducing potential vulnerabilities and access points that malicious actors could use to compromise an organization’s systems, applications, networks, or overall IT infrastructure.

Once these risks are identified, organizations can take proactive steps such as:

  • Applying security patches
  • Enforcing access controls
  • Deploying protective technologies
  • Reducing exposure of unnecessary assets

ASM plays a critical role in any cybersecurity risk management strategy, allowing organizations to stay ahead of potential threats by minimizing exploitable weaknesses. A structured ASM approach not only strengthens security posture but also ensures protection of critical assets and sensitive data.
