Attack surface management (ASM) and vulnerability management (VM) are often confused but differ in scope. VM uses automated tools to identify and prioritize security issues on known assets, while ASM focuses on detecting all digital assets and minimizing exposure to prevent exploitation. Used together, they create a more comprehensive cybersecurity posture. Intruder’s solutions offer visibility and control over your attack surface and help detect vulnerabilities for a more robust security approach.
From the meeting notes, the main takeaways are:
1. Vulnerability management and attack surface management are related but have different scopes. Vulnerability management focuses on identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities in known assets, while attack surface management involves asset discovery and reducing exposure to potential vulnerabilities.
2. Vulnerability management uses automated tools to identify and report on security issues and vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure, while attack surface management focuses on identifying and analyzing all potential entry points and exposed services that attackers could use to access systems or data.
3. While vulnerability management and attack surface management have different scopes and objectives, using them in combination creates a more comprehensive cybersecurity posture, allowing for better resource allocation, prioritization, and overall risk reduction.
4. Intruder offers modern vulnerability management and attack surface management solutions to help detect vulnerabilities, provide visibility and control over attack surfaces, monitor network changes, and enable more effective security measures.
