As it evolves into a critical component of threat and exposure management strategies, it's worth examining why attack surface management has grown to become a key category, and why it will continue to be a necessity for organizations worldwide.

The attack surface includes any IT asset connected to the internet - applications, IoT devices, Kubernetes clusters, cloud platforms - that threat actors could infiltrate and exploit to perpetuate an attack.

National Institute of Standards and Technology recommended cataloging external assets as far back as 2014, so why has it taken until now for attack surface management to see more widespread adoption? Several recent developments and trends have made it more urgent than before.
