Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools are software solutions designed to help organizations identify and manage their attack surface, which refers to all the potential points of entry that attackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access to a system or network.
ASM tools provide comprehensive visibility into an organization's attack surface, allowing them to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities proactively.
These tools typically offer the following functions:
-Continuous monitoring and assessment of an organization's attack surface.
- Identification and tracking of assets, including hardware, software, and network components.
-Vulnerability scanning and assessment to identify potential weaknesses.
-Risk prioritization and remediation guidance.
-Integration with other security tools and systems for enhanced threat intelligence and incident response capabilities.
