You Can’t Protect What You Can’t See

Your external attack surface encompasses a growing number of managed and unsanctioned “shadow” internet-facing IT assets, including web applications, software, and cloud resources, many of which may have vulnerabilities and/or misconfigurations that cyber attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access to your systems and data.

 

Attack Surface Exposure, our intelligence-led external attack surface management (EASM) solution, helps you identify, manage, and protect your internet-facing assets hosted on-premises, externally, and across multiple clouds. It prioritizes remediation with timely, accurate and relevant cyber threat intelligence (CTI). 

 

With Attack Surface Exposure, security teams can address risk by applying CTI into actively targeted vulnerabilities and malware currently affecting their environment - improving their security posture and anticipate emerging threats targeting their external attack surface.


 

The Difference: Data That is Timely, Accurate, Relevant

Vulnerability Insights

Correlation of NVD CVEs with Intel 471's intelligence on exploit status, and whether the CVE has been discussed in open source or underground forums.

Malware Insights

Malware family name, malicious IP addresses and C2 infrastructure associated with your IPs or domains

Open Source Insights

Rich open source intelligence (OSINT) with integrations to third-party APIs like SHODAN, HaveIBeenPwned, and VirusTotal

Identify unknown and unmanaged assets

  • Discover unsanctioned ‘shadow IT’ and unmanaged systems
  • Schedule continuous asset discovery and monitoring scans
  • Locate exposed databases, cloud storage buckets, remote desktops

Secure your digital supply chain

  • Monitor third-party external attack surfaces
  • Enhance third-party breach and vulnerability monitoring
  • Evaluate vendor security posture

Evaluate merger & acquisition cyber risks

  • Discover external assets before M&A activity starts
  • Assess the security posture and cyber risks of M&A prospects
  • Monitor ongoing IT asset integration

Track subsidiary and departmental compliance

  • Continuously monitor policy compliance
  • Discover where subsidiary assets expose you to risk
  • Monitor distributed, internal organizations for risk

Monitor emerging threats

  • Observe changes to attacker infrastructure
  • Monitor externally exposed information, such as email addresses and compromised credentials
  • Understand how exposed credentials impact your attack surface

OSINT Sources: Using multiple OSINT sources to gather information is critical to getting a full view of an organization’s attack surface visibility — but the process of obtaining all the information necessary through many sources can be overly complicated and time-consuming. Our 471 Attack Surface Protection solution is designed to help users monitor over 200 different OSINT sources and gather intelligence on IP addresses, domain names, email addresses, names, etc. 471 Attack Surface Protection easily integrates with third-party APIs like Shodan, HaveIBeenPwned, AlienVault OTX and more. For more information about OSINT data automation and the ability to integrate with third-party APIs to better understand and assess your organization’s attack surface visibility, See Modules
