As Seccops, in the attack surface analysis service, we basically carry out a comprehensive evaluation process in order to protect an organisation's accessible or already active digital assets and systems from potential internal and external threats. This analysis is provided to identify weaknesses and vulnerable areas in the IT infrastructure.
Attack surface analysis (Attack Surface Analysis/Detection/Management) covers both external threats (attacks that may come from the WWW) and internal threats (breaches that may be caused by internal reasons; for example, actions taken by an employee or after a leak). This process also helps organisations to identify vulnerabilities and take the necessary steps to close them.
Expanding the digital footprint, adopting new technologies or moving to hybrid ways of working can increase the attack surface area of many organisations, leaving systems and associated data vulnerable. The cycle of needing to identify and block potential attack vectors that an organisation may face in its digital ecosystem requires constant vigilance.
The components of the attack surface include software, hardware, network devices, databases and human factors. During the analysis, potential vulnerabilities are identified and evaluated using vulnerability scanning tools and some penetration techniques. To manage the external attack surface, continuous monitoring should be performed and threat intelligence should be provided as a support.
Attack surface analysis is a critical step in protecting an organisation's digital assets and systems. This analysis not only identifies existing vulnerabilities, but also enables proactive measures to be taken against future threats. Threat intelligence and custom indicators are used to leverage local intelligence gathered from open source data streams, threat intelligence sharing communities, commercial intelligence streams, and security investigations.
As Seccops, you can plan and execute your security strategies more effectively through the attack surface analysis service we will provide. Thus, you can minimise potential damage by being more prepared against cyber threats.
