The article emphasizes the increasing complexities of attack surfaces in the context of rising cloud adoption, outlining how digital assets are becoming more exposed. It defines the attack surface as all reachable digital assets, whether secured or not, and explains the importance of attack surface management (ASM) for discovering and minimizing the risks associated with these assets. ASM helps organizations prioritize vulnerabilities and prepare against both current and emerging threats, stressing on the continuous nature of external attack surfaces.
Attack surfaces expand rapidly with cloud adoption, emphasizing the need for proactive management to prevent exploitation by understanding what is exposed to attackers.
Understanding your attack surface involves identifying all digital assets available to attackers; both internal and external elements can be potential entry points for breaches.
