External Attack Surface Monitoring (EASM) is the process of continuously tracking and assessing an organization’s online assets and infrastructure that are exposed to the internet. This approach helps identify potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and unknown assets that attackers could exploit. EASM solutions provide visibility into the organization’s external digital footprint, enabling proactive measures to mitigate risks before they can be leveraged in cyberattacks. By monitoring and securing these entry points, EASM enhances the overall cybersecurity posture and reduces the risk of external threats.
