Continuous Attack Surface Testing

Continuous attack surface testing is the process of monitoring an organization’s IT ecosystem to identify and provide timely visibility into cyberthreats or risks.

By discovering and monitoring all assets in the IT ecosystem, both known and unknown, security professionals can then find the path of least resistance and vulnerabilities that attackers may use as a security gap to penetrate organizations.
