Our world-leading Attack Surface Management gives organizations a sixth sense — relentlessly monitoring assets, seeing the unseen, and proactively giving security teams an opportunity to solve issues before they have a chance to take place.
This isn’t security by defense. This is a system of vigilant offense that constantly looks at everything from HTTP hosts to message brokers to remote desktop exposure to network printers. Seeking potential breaches, shoring up leaks in your protocols, and mapping any potential weak points. Helping you stay one step ahead of risk, and seeing threats before they become complications.
Xpanse provides a complete, accurate and continuously updated inventory of all global internet-facing assets. This allows you to discover, evaluate, and mitigate cyber attack surface risks. You can also evaluate supplier risk and assess the security of acquired companies.
Manual asset inventory maintenance is slow and prone to error. An outside-in view of your attack surface catches assets and exposures you never knew existed to help with attack surface reduction.
Get ahead of your ransomware risk assessment by discovering and remediating RDP exposures, the leading attack vector in ransomware attacks. Find exposed assets before attackers do.
Integration with Cortex XSOAR, Prisma Cloud, and our broader portfolio allows our ASM findings to enhance security workflows, and secure unknown, unmanaged risks on your cloud attack surface.
We monitor all Attack Surface Management (ASM) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors.
