5 practical steps to strengthen attack resilience with attack surface management
Every asset you manage expands your attack surface. Internet‑facing applications, cloud workloads, credentials, endpoints, and third‑party integrations all represent potential entry points for attackers. As environments grow more distributed, that exposure expands faster than most security teams can track manually. Attack surface management (ASM) helps answer a critical question for IT security teams: What can…

You don’t have to choose between BAS or automated pentesting, you shouldn’t
There’s a debate making the rounds in security circles that sounds reasonable on the surface but falls apart under operational scrutiny: Which is better, breach and attack simulation (BAS) or automated penetration testing (APT)? Security vendors have stoked this debate for obvious reasons, with some even explicitly arguing that automated pentesting should replace BAS entirely.…
