Attack Surface Management (ASM)

See yourself as attackers do. Continuous discovery, monitoring, and risk prioritization of your entire external footprint — subdomains, cloud assets, shadow IT, and leaked credentials — before they're exploited.

From complete external asset discovery and risk analysis through real-time monitoring, dark web intelligence, and brand protection.

ASSET DISCOVERY

External Attack Surface Discovery

Continuous internet-scale scanning to identify every asset belonging to your organization — including assets your team doesn't know exist. We discover registered domains, subdomains, cloud storage buckets, SaaS applications, and shadow IT before attackers do.

  • Domain and subdomain enumeration
  • Cloud asset and storage bucket discovery
  • Shadow IT and orphaned application identification
  • IP range and ASN attribution verification
EXPOSURE ANALYSIS

Vulnerability & Risk Prioritization

Automated and analyst-driven assessment of discovered assets for exploitable vulnerabilities, open ports, expired TLS certificates, sensitive data exposure, and misconfigurations — prioritized by exploitability and business impact.

  • Vulnerability and misconfiguration scanning
  • Exposed service and open port analysis
  • Certificate expiry and TLS configuration review
  • Leaked credential and sensitive data detection
CONTINUOUS MONITORING

Ongoing Attack Surface Monitoring

24/7 monitoring of your external attack surface — alerting your team when new assets appear, existing assets become vulnerable, or threat intelligence signals indicate active targeting of your infrastructure.

  • Real-time new asset and exposure alerts
  • IP and domain reputation monitoring
  • Brand impersonation and typosquat detection
  • Dark web credential and data leak monitoring
The Attack Surface Reality

You Can't Protect What You Don't Know Exists

Attack surfaces grow faster than security teams can track them. Every new cloud deployment, developer experiment, SaaS application, and acquired subsidiary adds assets to your external footprint — most of which are never formally inventoried or monitored.

Attackers use the same discovery techniques we use — and they find these unknown assets first. ASM closes this gap by giving your security team the same external view of your infrastructure as your adversaries have.

The average enterprise has 30% more internet-facing assets than their security team is aware of — unknown assets are not monitored, not patched, and give attackers a persistent foothold that may go undetected for months.
Subdomain takeover vulnerabilities — where abandoned DNS records point to unclaimed cloud resources — are trivially exploitable and consistently found in organizations with large, historically grown domain footprints.
Attackers scan the entire internet for newly exposed assets within 15 minutes of deployment — cloud storage buckets, open databases, and exposed admin panels are discovered and targeted almost immediately.

Shadow IT Exposure

Developer-deployed apps and forgotten cloud buckets that bypass standard security review processes.

Subdomain Takeover

Dangling DNS records pointing to unclaimed cloud resources that attackers can claim trivially.

Credential Leaks

Employee credentials from third-party data breaches used in credential stuffing against your systems.

Instant Targeting

Newly deployed public assets are discovered and scanned within 15 minutes of going live.

Our Process

5-Phase Attack Surface Management

From seed data collection and asset enumeration through vulnerability analysis, dark web enrichment, and continuous monitoring setup.

01

Seed Data Collection & Reconnaissance

We gather seed data — your registered domains, IP ranges, ASNs, cloud account IDs, and known subsidiary brands — and use this to build the initial scope for discovery. We then expand recursively from this seed data to find all connected assets.

02

External Asset Enumeration

Systematic enumeration of all internet-facing assets — DNS records, subdomains, IP addresses and cloud resources, web applications, API endpoints, email infrastructure, code repositories, and cloud storage. We use both EASM tooling and manual reconnaissance techniques.

03

Exposure & Vulnerability Analysis

Each discovered asset is assessed for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure — open ports and services, TLS certificate status, web application vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), exposed admin interfaces, and cloud storage access controls.

04

Dark Web & Threat Intelligence Enrichment

We enrich the asset inventory with threat intelligence — leaked credentials from dark web paste sites and breach databases, IP reputation data, active exploit campaigns targeting your technology stack, and brand impersonation and phishing domain detection.

05

Attack Surface Report & Continuous Monitoring Setup

A comprehensive attack surface report with asset inventory, risk-prioritized findings, and remediation guidance. We also establish continuous monitoring — integrating EASM tooling into your security operations workflow for ongoing visibility.

Coverage

Total External Visibility

From subdomain enumeration and cloud asset discovery through exposed service analysis, dark web monitoring, brand protection, and executive reporting.

Subdomain Enumeration

Comprehensive DNS enumeration using multiple techniques — brute-force, certificate transparency logs, historical DNS data, and passive DNS — to find every active and dangling subdomain in your domain portfolio.

Cloud Asset Discovery

Discovering cloud storage buckets (S3, Azure Blob, GCS), cloud-hosted applications, serverless endpoints, and cloud account resources that are internet-facing — including assets deployed by development teams outside the security team's visibility.

Exposed Service Analysis

Identifying services accidentally exposed to the internet — administrative interfaces, development servers, database ports, remote management panels, and API endpoints that should be restricted but are publicly accessible.

Dark Web Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of dark web paste sites, breach databases, and threat actor forums for leaked credentials, sensitive data, and mentions of your organization — providing early warning of credential-based attack risk.

Brand Protection

Detection of domain typosquatting, brand impersonation websites, phishing domains using your brand, and rogue mobile applications — protecting your customers and employees from credential harvesting attacks.

Executive Dashboard

Continuous attack surface risk score and trend reporting — providing security leadership and executives with a clear, quantified view of external exposure change over time and remediation progress.

Why Adayptus

The Attacker's View of Your Organization

We discover your attack surface the same way attackers do — starting from nothing and building outward — then add the expert analysis and threat intelligence context to prioritize what matters most.

Attacker's Perspective

We approach discovery exactly as an attacker would — starting from only your company name and building outward, finding every asset that an external threat actor with no insider knowledge could discover.

Human + Automation

EASM tooling finds breadth — our analysts find depth. We combine automated scanning with expert manual analysis to identify high-impact exposures that automated tools consistently miss.

Continuous, Not Point-in-Time

Your attack surface changes daily as developers deploy new applications and cloud resources. Our continuous monitoring model detects new exposures as they appear — not during the next annual assessment.

Threat Intelligence Integration

We enrich attack surface data with threat intelligence — leaked credentials, active exploit campaigns, and dark web signals — giving each finding the attacker-opportunity context needed to prioritize remediation.
