Internet-facing Attack Surface

The Internet-facing attack surface refers to all the points of entry into an organization's network, applications, and data accessible from the public internet. This includes all publicly available systems, services, and applications that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.

Examples of internet-facing attack surfaces may include web applications, APIs, email systems, remote access tools, and cloud-based services. Hackers may exploit these systems' vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, disrupt services, or steal valuable information.

It is crucial for organizations to regularly assess and secure their internet-facing attack surface to minimize the risk of successful cyberattacks. This can involve implementing security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and vulnerability management programs to help protect against threats.

ThreatNG Security can provide organizations with a comprehensive view of their internet-facing attack surface. It can automatically scan and monitor for potential vulnerabilities, prioritize critical security risks, and provide actionable insights and remediation guidance to strengthen the organization's security posture. This solution can also offer security ratings for each asset, helping stakeholders make informed decisions about prioritizing security resources. It enables organizations to proactively identify and mitigate potential security risks, reduce their attack surface, and enhance their overall security posture.
