Attack Surface Management: The Foundation of Risk Management
Leverage IDC’s research and insights to understand the most critical elements to create a successful attack surface management project so you can keep your internet-exposed assets safe from cyberattackers. In this Technology Assessment Guide, you will access checklists to measure potential EASM vendors in the following key areas:
- Discovering your company’s entire external attack surface to gain ultimate visibility into all your company’s assets thereby reducing the surface area for potential threats;
- Attributing asset ownership and classifying assets by business purpose to streamline solutions to vulnerabilities;
- Scoring findings by business risk to cut down on alert noise and prioritize the biggest risks so teams know where to focus immediately;
- Testing the attack surface continuously to fill in gaps in staff skill sets or resources to decrease time-to-detection (MTTD) and time-to-remediation (MTTR);
- Integrating into existing vulnerability management workflows and providing actionable remediation planning to achieve your risk management goals.
