Startups and mid-market businesses heavily rely on cloud services, leading to a complex and distributed attack surface that’s challenging to monitor and secure. Exposure management in cybersecurity aims to provide visibility and prioritize vulnerabilities to reduce business risks. Intruder offers automated vulnerability management to discover and prioritize weaknesses across the attack surface.
Exposure management in cybersecurity aims to provide a prioritized list of exposures in an organization’s attack surface, along with context for each, to enable informed decisions on how to reduce business risk. It helps increase visibility of the entire attack surface, including data assets such as code repositories, to more accurately identify opportunities for attackers and shut them down before posing a significant risk. It provides a clearer understanding of the risks faced and prioritizes serious threats, essential in a time when security teams are overwhelmed with data from the continuously evolving threat landscape.
Exposure management extends beyond external Attack Surface Management (ASM) by including data assets, user identities, and cloud account configuration, reducing ongoing exposure. It’s crucial in evaluating the risk to businesses, considering SaaS products and their potential compromise as a possible facilitator of attacks.
To visualize and minimize exposure, organizations can utilize automated vulnerability management tools like Intruder, which continuously monitor for changes, discover assets, identify exposures across the attack surface, and prioritize the most pressing problems based on context. Intruder also offers bug hunting for Premium and Vanguard customers to look for weaknesses and exposures that automated scanners can miss.
