What makes a good ASM solution stand out

2023-08-29 04:30

How does ASM help answer essential questions about the nature and vulnerabilities of an organization's attack surface? Can you provide some insights into the key questions organizations should be asking?

ASM should help organizations have a better view of their internet-exposed assets, as well as help them identify the unknown ones.

A good ASM solution must incorporate Attack Surface Discovery, which is the ability to find unknown assets.

That's why ASD is so essential and a prerequisite for effective ASM. Furthermore, we argue that, for many organizations, ASM is the easy part, and the challenge is to have a full inventory of their exposed assets.

A good ASM solution should be IP agnostic while being able to search by network blocks for organizations with their IP ranges or datacenters.

At the same time, an ASM solution should be able to state on which kind of hosting facility an IP address is bound to, as it may help enforce an internal security policy, for instance.
