How to Perform an Attack Surface Assessment

You can’t protect what you can’t see. This is true — especially for cybersecurity teams attempting to manage and shrink the attack surface of their organization. According to the Cloud Security Alliance, misconfigurations are responsible for up to 63% of security incidents. To combat this misgiving, organizations should perform an attack surface assessment to identify critical assets and risks associated with them. An attack surface assessment is an effort that's focused on increasing visibility by examining the entry points to all of your assets and data. This assessment is unique to each organization, leading to the detection of assets, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.
