An application’s attack surface is the sum of points where it might be vulnerable to bad actors. It consists of all the paths in and out of the application. Identifying vulnerabilities is vital to mitigating threats because any access point is a potential entry point for an attack. An attack surface analysis, which is critical to this mitigation strategy, is the process of identifying and assessing the potential vulnerabilities and risks in a software system or network.

Cyberattacks are on the rise. In 2022, there was a 38 percent increase in global attacks compared to the previous year—and security teams are struggling to keep up. It now takes an average of 277 days for teams to identify and contain a breach. With so many alerts being received by the Security Operations Centers (SOCs) each day, how do teams decide which issues to address first?

Your choice of external attack surface management software could significantly reduce your data breach risks, but only if it has the proper set of features. To learn which features to look out for in an external ASM solution, read on. Learn how UpGuard simplifies Attack Surface Management >

In the ever-evolving realm of cybersecurity, it’s critical for businesses to stay ahead of the curve to ensure the safety of their sensitive data and infrastructure. By implementing proactive and continuous testing of the deployed security controls, teams can optimize their preparedness against advanced threats. It’s no surprise, then, that attack surface management has emerged as a potential solution.

Cyber risk trends are constantly evolving, driven by the pace of technological advancements that streamline business processes yet can introduce vulnerabilities in your company’s attack surface. With increased use of SaaS, cloud solutions, APIs, and third-party services, companies have many exposed and connected internet-facing assets that they’re unaware of, providing an open door for attackers to exploit.
