# Attack Surface Management, Powered by Validation

See every system and confirm what’s truly at risk. AttackIQ transforms asset discovery into actionable insight by testing what’s accessible, misconfigured, or exploitable.

## **Attack Surface Visibility Isn’t Enough**

Most ASM tools stop at discovery. But risk doesn’t lie in what exists—it lies in what attackers can access and exploit. AttackIQ validates your attack surface using real adversary behavior to uncover what’s truly at risk.

**Discover hidden systems**  
Identify unmanaged, shadow, and cloud-based infrastructure across your environments

**Map attack paths**  
Visualize how adversaries pivot from external footholds to critical resources

**Confirm external exposure**  
Determine which internet-facing ports, services, and assets are truly accessible

**Test perimeter controls**  
Use adversary emulations to evaluate which defenses block, detect, or fail

**Track surface evolution**  
Monitor how your exposed footprint changes as infrastructure evolves

## Integrated for Real-Time Risk Awareness

AttackIQ connects to your existing ecosystem to build a dynamic, validated view of your environment without duplicating effort or adding operational burden.

### **Enrich asset intelligence**  
Correlate ownership, criticality, and context using data from AD, CMDBs, and CAASM platforms

### **Assess exposures across environments**  
Evaluate attacker access across endpoint, cloud, and on-premises infrastructure using MITRE ATT&CK-aligned behavior

### **Unify discovery, testing, and remediation**  
Break down silos between teams and tools to streamline risk reduction workflows

## **Real ASM Use Cases, Solved with Validation**

AttackIQ brings adversary validation to asset-centric risks—addressing the dynamic, distributed, and difficult-to-see problems that traditional ASM tools overlook.

**Shadow IT & Unmanaged Asset Discovery**  
Find infrastructure outside IT’s control—developer machines, forgotten workloads, and exposed SaaS

**Dynamic Environment Testing**  
Continuously assess shifting services, roles, and IPs in cloud and hybrid environments

**Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Assessment**  
Uncover exposures in vendor-managed or shared infrastructure

**Baseline Asset Validation for Security Planning**  
Build a validated inventory for posture reviews and capability planning

**Business-Aligned Risk Prioritization**  
Group and rank systems by function and impact to focus remediation where it matters

## Attack Surface Management (ASM) FAQs

**How does AttackIQ map the attack surface across multi-cloud and hybrid environments?**  
AttackIQ integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem systems to create a unified, real-time view of your attack surface. It continuously discovers assets and validates their accessibility and exploitability—identifying paths attackers could use to pivot across environments.

**Can AttackIQ detect when our attack surface changes?**  
Yes. AttackIQ monitors for changes in your external footprint, such as new services, open ports, or misconfigurations. This helps security teams catch infrastructure drift or shadow IT that increases risk—without relying on periodic scans or manual updates.

**What’s the difference between ASM and traditional vulnerability scanning?**  
Vulnerability scanners identify known software flaws in declared assets. ASM reveals externally visible infrastructure—including unmanaged services and misconfigurations—and confirms which ones are actually exploitable. AttackIQ goes further by validating exposure with real-world adversary behavior.

**Can AttackIQ validate risk from third-party or vendor-managed systems?**  
Yes. AttackIQ tests exposures across your entire external footprint, including vendor-hosted platforms, partner infrastructure, and SaaS environments. It identifies risks you may not own—but are still accountable for—helping reduce blind spots in your supply chain and extended attack surface.

**How does AttackIQ determine which assets are most important to prioritize?**  
AttackIQ combines adversary validation with customer-defined context to focus on what matters most. The platform ingests business metadata from CMDBs, cloud tags, and asset management tools—allowing teams to classify systems by criticality, function, or ownership. You can also manually tag high-value or regulated systems for prioritized monitoring. This ensures risk scores reflect not just what’s exposed, but what’s exploitable and important to your business.
