Mitigate threats from your growing attack surface with
External Attack Surface Management (EASM)
Identify potential vulnerabilities in your public internet-facing assets, both known and unknown, monitor your vulnerabilities, public-cloud misconfiguration, exposed credentials, or other external information and processes that attackers could exploit, and close security gaps.

Why You Need EASM Tools
Shadow IT
The rise of Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud tools has led to employees using unapproved software, constituting part of an organization’s external attack surface. Security teams may be unaware of these unmanaged tools, making them difficult to secure.
Distributed IT Environments
The growth of cloud computing and remote work has decentralized IT environments, blurring the lines between public and private spaces and complicating the management of external attack surfaces.
Security Complexity
Organizations face various cybersecurity threats and utilize multiple security solutions. This increases management difficulty and the volume of data that security teams must analyze and respond to.
Keep track of all your assets exposed to the internet, including websites, servers, cloud services, and APIs
Secure your External Assets in 3 Steps
Asset Discovery is a core function of EASM.
Our EASM Solutions help organizations to identify, inventory, and continuously monitor their internet-facing assets.
We assure you that even unknown, unmanaged, or forgotten assets—often referred to as “shadow IT”—are identified and brought under security management.
Digital risk protection works as a multi-layered approach to protecting an organization from online threats.
Our reliable DRP solutions include the following 3 components:
This automated system scans the internet—Clearnet, darknet, and social media—using keywords to identify potential threats and generate alerts for analysis.
Counterintelligence analyzes threats found by the Threat Information Engine, assessing their impact on security and reputation. It also includes manual scraping to find threats missed by automated systems.
Intelligence Operations focus on proactive threat prevention. The team uses tactics like sock puppet accounts to infiltrate threat groups and monitor activities, aiming to thwart ongoing and future attacks.
Our CTI solutions provide organizations with valuable insights into emerging threats, enabling them to proactively protect their systems and data.
These approaches include:
Use Cases for EASM
Incident
During a late-night hotfix, a DevOps engineer working remotely pushed a Python script to a public GitHub repo.
The script contained embedded AWS IAM credentials with admin-level privileges.
Within 8 hours, the credentials were harvested by a crypto mining bot and used to spin up 24 EC2 instances across 3 regions.
The incident wasn’t detected until an unexpected AWS billing alert triggered. Total loss: $12,300 in 24 hours.
Implementation:
- Detected the AWS key within 30 minutes of being posted
- Enriched the alert with repository link, timestamp, author, and potential impact
- Correlated the leaked key to your organization’s GitHub activity using domain and email intelligence
- Enabled immediate IAM key revocation and rotation before the blast radius expanded
Incident
vpn-emea.clientname.com — a subdomain tied to a decommissioned test VPN in Frankfurt — was left active months after an M&A transition.
The login page used default OpenVPN credentials and lacked 2FA.
Shodan indexed the asset, and it appeared on multiple low-tier hacking forums under “low-hanging fruit” lists.
Credential stuffing attempts from Ukrainian and Vietnamese IPs followed within 72 hours, with at least one successful login traced to a test account still active in the internal Jira system.
Implementation
- Detected the forgotten subdomain as part of continuous external asset mapping
- Flagged the endpoint as high-risk due to exposed login panel + lack of 2FA
- Enriched alert with associated certificates and SSL fingerprints
- Provided remediation recommendations to decommission and update DNS records
Incident
A new Jenkins instance was deployed for an upcoming product release and assigned a public IP without firewall restriction.
The server, accessible on port 8080, had no authentication configured due to testing shortcuts.
Attackers discovered the service via Censys.io, installed a malicious plugin, and exfiltrated the secrets.xml file containing API keys for production services, including Slack webhooks and Jira tokens.
Implementation
- Detected the Jenkins instance via external service exposure scanning
- Identified it as vulnerable due to version fingerprinting and lack of authentication
- Prioritized alert based on critical asset correlation (e.g., matching org domain, Git commit references)
- Suggested access control fixes and helped initiate emergency patch workflows
Incident
After a global brand transition, the domain retailgroupindia.com — used for supplier onboarding — expired quietly.
An attacker re-registered it, cloned your vendor portal, and sent phishing emails to active suppliers requesting re-verification of PAN cards and bank details.
Over 30 supplier accounts were compromised, leading to fake invoices being submitted and paid before the fraud was detected.
Implementation
- Detected domain expiration and flagged it in real-time as a high-risk asset
- Notified your team when the domain was re-registered by a third party
- Detected that the new DNS pointed to a phishing infrastructure with reused SSL certs from previous scams
- Offered takedown support via brand protection workflows and legal escalation paths
Incident
A threat actor created a fake profile of your CFO using a publicly available headshot, matching titles, and recent post activity.
They connected with over 40 employees across HR and Finance over a week.
Via LinkedIn InMail, they requested employees wire funds to a “confidential M&A escrow account.” One junior controller sent €270,000 before realizing the fraud.
Implementation
- Detected the fake profile using AI-based identity monitoring and fuzzy image matching
- Correlated LinkedIn activity patterns with anomalous impersonation attempts across other execs
- Flagged urgent alert to brand protection team and initiated takedown request to LinkedIn Trust & Safety team
- Helped create internal awareness campaign around executive impersonation risks
Incident
A marketing agency partner stored customer onboarding files in an Azure Blob container for survey analysis.
The container had public read access enabled and lacked index blocking — allowing Google to index over 3,000 PDFs.
The data included names, Aadhaar IDs, mobile numbers, and preferred insurance coverage.
A journalist discovered the leak via a Google search and published an exposé the next day.
Implementation
- Detected exposed Azure blob using cloud scanning against third-party asset surfaces
- Identified PII based on content classification: IDs, personal forms, and location metadata
- Alert included direct links, hosting region, and Azure blob URI
- Enabled rapid contact with the third-party agency and remediation via access controls and DMCA notice
Incident
The attacker registered secure-portal-login[.]org, mimicking your Okta login.
Using a pretext that employees must “urgently reset their MFA,” they sent SMS messages targeting users in your Singapore office.
The phishing site used cloned HTML and a valid SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
Within 24 hours, 17 valid login credentials were submitted before the campaign was shut down.
Implementation
- Detected typosquatted domain at time of registration using WHOIS monitoring + lexical similarity models
- Flagged high-risk due to brand keyword + TLS cert + observed hosting on a known bulletproof provider
- Alerted your SOC with attack vector analysis and initiated coordinated takedown with the registrar
- Helped you proactively block future lookalikes and train staff against phishing indicators
