EASM

External Attack Surface Management

operationshard

EASM focuses on discovering and monitoring an organization's internet-facing assets from an attacker's outside-in perspective, including forgotten subdomains, exposed cloud storage, and shadow IT. Because these assets are visible to anyone scanning the internet, they are often the first thing adversaries probe. EASM tools continuously map this external footprint so defenders can find and fix exposures before attackers do.
