External Attack Surface Management (EASM) Enhances Cyber Risk Management
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is a proactive cybersecurity approach that continuously maps and monitors all internet-facing assets to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they are exploited. EASM helps organizations gain full visibility into their digital exposures, prioritize risks based on exploitability and business impact, and foster collaboration between IT, security, and DevOps teams. This method transforms reactive security postures into proactive risk management, reducing the attack surface and enhancing overall cyber resilience.
