# Attack Surface Management

**Fully Automated Discovery, Mapping, and Risk Analysis**

CybrHawk’s External Attack Surface Management (EASM) module provides continuous, automated discovery and analysis of your internet-facing assets, without requiring any input, configuration, or effort from your team. From forgotten cloud buckets and exposed APIs to unknown subsidiaries and third-party risk, our EASM delivers a real-time, always-updated view of what attackers can see and exploit.

***

**How It Works: Fully Autonomous Protection**

1. **Autonomous Discovery:**\
   Our system automatically identifies all assets tied to your organization, domains, subdomains, IP blocks, cloud instances, web applications, and exposed services, using advanced reconnaissance and correlation techniques.
2. **Continuous Monitoring:**\
   Your external footprint is continuously rescanned for changes, such as new services, misconfigurations, or unknown assets appearing online.
3. **Risk Prioritization:**\
   Each asset is analyzed for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure context. Risks are scored based on severity, exploitability, and business impact.
4. **Actionable Insights:**\
   Findings are delivered clearly and concisely within the CybrHawk portal, with guided steps for remediation and built-in ticketing for easy assignment.

**Key Benefits**

* **Zero Effort Required**\
  No setup, no configuration, no maintenance. The EASM module begins delivering value from day one.
* **Complete Visibility**\
  See all internet-facing assets, even ones you didn’t know existed, like shadow IT, legacy systems, or misconfigured cloud storage.
* **Proactive Risk Reduction**\
  Identify and remediate high-risk exposures, open ports, outdated software, and weak certificates before attackers can exploit them.
* **Third-Party and Supply Chain Monitoring**\
  Gain visibility into the external footprint of your vendors and partners, highlighting risks that could impact your organization.

**What It Finds**

* Unknown or unmanaged domains and subdomains
* Exposed databases, storage buckets, and backup servers
* Outdated software and vulnerable services
* Misconfigured APIs, authentication endpoints, and cloud services
* Expired or weak SSL/TLS certificates
* Open ports and services (e.g., RDP, SMB, SSH) accessible from the internet
* Leaked credentials or sensitive data publicly exposed

Some example findings of imminent risks:

* A contractor saved a configuration file containing AWS API secrets and active Gmail credentials in a temporary folder on an internet-exposed asset. The security module detected the exposure and alerted within minutes.
* Open to the internet SQL admin portal, such as phmyadmin;
* Azure subdomain takeover;
* SQL backups saved on the internet exposed servers.

***

**Use Cases**

* **Preventing Data Breaches:** Find and secure exposed storage and databases before they are discovered and exploited.
* **Avoiding Compliance Violations:** Identify publicly accessible assets containing sensitive or regulated data.
* **Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence:** Quickly assess the external security posture of acquired companies or partners.
* **Continuous Pentest Readiness:** Maintain a hardened external footprint between formal penetration tests.

**Why It Matters**

Traditional security tools only protect what you know about. CybrHawk EASM finds what you don’t. By automatically discovering, classifying, and evaluating every internet-facing asset, we help you eliminate blind spots, reduce your attack surface, and stay ahead of attackers, with no manual effort required.
