Attack Surface & Exposure Management (ASM / CTEM / BAS)
Attack Surface & Exposure Management (ASM), including Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), encompasses solutions designed to identify, assess, and manage an organization's digital exposure to potential threats.
Attack Surface & Exposure Management (ASM), including Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), encompasses solutions designed to identify, assess, and manage an organization’s digital exposure to potential threats. These tools provide visibility into assets, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations across internal and external environments, enabling organizations to understand and reduce their attack surface.
Core capabilities typically include asset discovery, vulnerability enumeration, risk prioritization, and continuous monitoring for changes in exposure. Some solutions simulate attacker techniques to validate security controls and measure the effectiveness of existing defenses. The technical scope often extends to cloud resources, remote endpoints, third-party integrations, and shadow IT, providing a comprehensive view of potential entry points.
Security operations teams, vulnerability management professionals, and risk managers commonly use these solutions to proactively identify weaknesses before adversaries can exploit them. Unlike traditional vulnerability management, ASM and related approaches focus on the attacker’s perspective, emphasizing real-world exposure rather than just patch status or compliance.
