Summary
The disappearance of network perimeters, rise of shadow IT, and exposure from small cloud misconfigurations have fundamentally changed how data breaches occur in practice and shifted priorities for organizations. As a result, 98% of IT decision makers say cloud computing in all its forms is at the top of the list of technology categories of concern, according to a Forrester survey.
The Attack Surface Management Buyer’s Guide discusses how to leverage attack surface management to discover internet assets (e.g., hosts, services, websites, storage buckets) across all networks and cloud providers. Other benefits of attack surface management include providing a comprehensive inventory of assets, reducing your compliance workload, and managing risk during mergers and acquisitions.
