From Scanners to Strategies: How Attack Surface Management Enhances Vulnerability Scanning

Wiz launches ASM with an Attack Surface Scanner that uncovers exposures beyond known DNS — including dynamic cloud addresses and shadow assets — and prioritizes them with context and ownership.

This article compares reactive security with proactive approaches like EASM, CAASM, and BAS, outlining how risk-based prioritization and automated validation translate into measurable cost savings.

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

NetSPI's take on Gartner's EASM report: external attack surface management goes beyond asset discovery to prioritized remediation and supports Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM).

ASM reduces attack surface by continuously discovering unmanaged assets and exposures like open ports; separating known from unknown assets helps teams shrink exploitable entry points.

Webinar recap with Forrester's Erik Nost on external attack surface management: continuous discovery and prioritization of exposures complements pentesting, plus criteria for evaluating EASM vendors.
