Key Strategies for Tackling External Attack Surface Visibility

Gartner urges moving beyond vulnerability management toward exposure management. NetSPI explains how pairing external pentesting with EASM enables continuous, prioritized attack surface testing.

Spreadsheets and fragmented point tools can't keep pace with today's expanding external attack surface. The article explains why manual asset inventories break down and what modern ASM requires.

Forrester's Q2 2024 ASM Solutions Landscape names NetSPI among notable vendors. The article covers the state of the ASM market and how combining EASM and CAASM delivers complete asset visibility.

A guide untangling cybersecurity acronyms: how CAASM differs from CMDB, CSPM, CTEM, DRPS, EASM, and vulnerability scanners, and where it fits in a proactive security strategy.

Outlines five cloud security challenges—shadow IT, attacker-defender resource asymmetry, catastrophic misconfigurations—and argues purpose-built cloud penetration testing is the way to address them.
