2024 Gartner® Innovation Insight:Attack Surface Management report

Surface Command combines continuous external scanningwith internal asset context from endpoint to cloud
Organizations spend more and more money on tools to manage and secure
their environments yet have decreasing levels of visibility across thesetools. They’re left with a sprawling attack surface that’s fragmented acrossinternal, external, and hybrid environments.Make no mistake, this gives
adversaries the upper hand. Today, the few teams that actually have ahandle on this perform manual, cumbersome data entry to correlate acrosstheir asset and security data with spreadsheets to identify systems missing
security controls, have yet to be patched, or are out of compliance. Attackers
are able to exploit this data sprawl – hiding in mountains of data andbanking on your inability to correlate and visualize your attack surface andidentify the insights that matter.
Rapid7 Surface Command breaks down data silos by combining
comprehensive attack surface visibility across hybrid environments to build
a dynamic 360-degree view of your entire attack surface in one place.
External scans provide an adversary’s perspective on the attack surface,detecting and validating exposures while highlighting areas attackers aremost likely to target. Surface Command combines these external scans witha detailed inventory of your internal assets, no matter the security or IT tool
used to scan them. This process delivers complete visibility into your attacksurface without the risk of blind spots, unprotected assets, and ungoverned
access. Understanding how assets are configured enables you to quickly
identify and address misconfigurations, shadow IT, and compliance issues.
This integrated approach gives you a holistic view of your digital landscape,enabling proactive risk mitigation, threat prevention, and rapid response.

Establish and Maintain a Single Source of Truth
for your Digital Estate
Unify and correlate asset inventory and identities across all internal tooling.
Cross reference findings against regular external scans to understand yourorganization’s true attack surface and establish a single source of truth
across all teams.

Uncover Assets Lacking Proper Security Controls
Continuously spot gaps in security coverage where assets are missing
controls such as endpoint security agents and vulnerability scans, andsubsequently which identities have admin access or are missing MFA.

Drive Accountability Across Teams

Cross reference
findings against
regular externalscans tounderstand yourorganization’strue attacksurface.

Understand asset ownership and drive accountability when compliancestandards aren’t met. This provides clarity to security and GRC teams aroundwhich stakeholders to engage when remediation actions are required.

Provide Full Context to Incident Responders
Security analysts can more effectively prioritize ongoing threats by having
asset, vulnerability, and security control context in one place to makedecisions and enable organization-wide threat hunts based on known asset
information and TTPs.

Resources
Identify unknown users and assets connected to your network withnecessary context to understand the relative risk and necessary
remediation steps.

Augment CMBD Tools and Assist with Asset
Lifecycle Management
Track technology adoption across your organization and leverage powerfulnative querying capabilities to gain deep insight, including which assets arestill active and when they were last updated or modified.
