“Shifting Left” has long been thought of as a silver bullet of sorts for security. Conducting security testing earlier in the development cycle to catch vulnerabilities in staging rather than production environments is certainly worthwhile and can significantly lower an organization’s risk profile.

In October, we launched a new feature called Attack Surface Custom Policies for Surface Monitoring customers. Attack Surface Custom Policies makes it possible to set, enforce, and scale customizable security policies so you can focus on the issues that matter most. Since launching this feature, we’ve generated thousands of alerts on potential risks for our customers. For some customers, it was particularly difficult to view these reports.
