FAQs

What is External Attack Surface Management (EASM)?

External Attack Surface Management is a cybersecurity solution that provides visibility into an organization’s external digital footprint. It helps identify and monitor all exposed assets, including known and unknown, to assess and manage potential vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.

What is the difference between External Attack Surface Management and traditional Attack Surface Management?
