Combined CAASM and EASM solutions are particularly useful for organisations with complex and rapidly evolving IT environments that need to identify and prioritise potential attack vectors. Encore.io - Attack Surface Management (ASM) is an effective tool for Attack Surface Management, offering both CAASM and EASM capabilities on the same platform. Encore provides a comprehensive view of an organisation's attack surface. Some common use cases for Encore's Attack Surface Management solution include: 1. Rogue Asset Detection: As organisations grow, it can become difficult to track all the assets in the environment. Attack Surface Management can help identify rogue assets that may be forgotten, unknown or unmanaged by the organisation. This is important to prevent unsecured assets from being exploited by attackers. 2. Vulnerability Assessment and Prioritisation: Organisations face a constant stream of new vulnerabilities, and it can be challenging to determine which ones require immediate attention. CAASM and EASM solutions can help prioritise vulnerabilities based on the level of risk they pose to the organisation. This allows for more efficient use of security resources, reducing the risk of attack. 3. Compliance with Security Policies: Many organisations are subject to regulatory requirements and internal security policies. Attack Surface Management can help ensure compliance with these policies by identifying any gaps or vulnerabilities that may exist.
4. Incident Response: In the event of a security breach or other incident, Attack Surface Management can help organisations quickly identify the scope and impact of the attack by providing a comprehensive view of their attack surface. This includes identifying any newly added assets or vulnerabilities that may have been exploited by the attacker. Attack Surface Management can also help organisations identify and prioritize the most critical assets and vulnerabilities that require immediate remediation to contain and respond to the incident. 5. Mergers and acquisitions: Mergers and acquisitions often involve combining IT environments from multiple organizations, which can result in a larger and more complex attack surface. Attack Surface Management can also help during the integration process, where it is essential to ensure that security is not compromised in the rush to combine systems and applications. Additionally, Attack Surface Management can help organizations assess the security posture of the target organization before making an acquisition, which can inform the due diligence process and provide valuable insights into potential risks and areas of concern.
