Attack SurfaceManagement (ASM)

Automate the attacker’s view of your organization to discover threat exposures and prioritize remediation.

View Data Sheet

See every asset from the attacker’s view.

Add automated discovery of your external attack surface to see what must be protected.

Identify assets

Scan domains, IPs and more. Identify all externally visible assets.

Top Assets by Type

Discover vulnerabilities

Identify CVEs and gaps. Automate exposure discovery for external attack surface.

Map exposures

Visualize asset exposure. Map connections between assets.

Attack Surface Management Benefits

Attack surface management automates the discovery and classification of externally facing assets, applications and systems, and their potential security weaknesses. Exposure management relies on attack surface management for the visibility of security gaps – all from the attacker’s view of the target.

Comprehensive visibility

Identify externally accessible systems and the security gaps they can cause – on-prem and in the cloud.

Enhanced prioritization

Close gaps in critical systems, resources and data with targeted remediation.

Risk scoring

Track and trend risk scores for continuous improvement and benchmark against peers.

Minimal operational overhead

Quickly deploy the agentless solution to identify, diagnose and validate your attack surface.

See the attacker’s vantage point through continuous scanning

Emulate reconnaissance and probing methods of threat actors to identify digital assets (like web domains, IP addresses, applications and more) – and tag important assets.

Run vulnerability and misconfiguration scans against all external assets. Scan domains, subdomains, IPs, ports, clouds, configurations, devices and privileges, while also probing frameworks, libraries, services and applications.

Prioritize vulnerabilities and misconfigurations according to the probability of exploitation and the importance of the asset.

What our customers say about us

Organizations across all industries choose Cymulate for automated cybersecurity validation, proactively confirming that defenses are robust and reliable – before an attack occurs.

Cymulate provides another pair of eyes for us to understand what an attacker sees when looking at our organization from the outside with attack surface management.

– Karl Ward, Head of Cybersecurity, LV=

Utility Organization

Cymulate enables us to automatically identify our internet-facing assets and understand if there are any potential entry points or vulnerabilities within our external infrastructure. This allows us to manage our external attack surface effectively.

– SOC Manager, Utility Organization

GUD Holdings

“I chose to implement Cymulate because I wanted intelligence on my assets, not just a long list of vulnerabilities that a vulnerability management tool would give me.”

– Shaun Curtis, Head of Cybersecurity, GUD Holdings Limited

IT Services

“Every organization faces new vulnerabilities every week, but how do we know which are the most critical? Cymulate allows us to understand each exposure’s impact and its importance in our environment so we can prioritize our remediation efforts.”

– Security Assurance Manager and Regional CISO, IT Services

Attack Surface Management FAQs

ASM is the ongoing process of discovering points within data systems that could be used to attack the organization (servers, applications, services, cloud components, workstations, etc.) and defining and implementing remediation strategies to address gaps.

Cymulate ASM automates the attacker’s view of your on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in autonomous system numbers (ASN), domains (email and web), subdomains, IPs, ports, services, applications, and cloud platforms. The platform also scans the dark web for sensitive information and indicators of data leaks and cyberattacks.

The external attack surface of an organization includes sensitive or proprietary information stolen from the organizations that ends up for sale or exchange on the dark web, which potentially leads to further attacks or breaches. Both the dark web and publicly available information contribute to an organization’s external attack surface by providing intelligence about the organization that attackers can use to target systems, accounts, and individuals.

Cymulate ASM includes asset discovery scans and monthly comprehensive scans. Asset Discovery Scans are weekly, non-intrusive scans that identify assets within an organization’s IT infrastructure. The scan helps organizations gain visibility into their assets, including any unauthorized devices or software. The monthly Full Scans conducted provide a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s IT infrastructure. It identifies all assets within the infrastructure and performs vulnerability scanning on domains, subdomains, applications, and infrastructure. The full scan detects vulnerabilities, web misconfigurations, open ports, and more. The results of the full scan include a detailed report of discovered assets, vulnerability findings, and a risk score to help organizations prioritize their mitigation efforts effectively.

No, Cymulate ASM is designed to assess and monitor an organization’s external digital footprint—the part of its network that is visible from the outside, such as exposed web servers, applications, and services. This assessment is done from the perspective of an external attacker looking for publicly accessible systems and vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
