ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT

Track known and unknown assets in your organization

Our ASM continuously builds and updates a record of all internet-connected assets, helping identify all exposure risks. Dive deeper and read the Cortex Xpanse Attack Surface Threat report.

Traditional asset inventory is slow and error-prone
Xpanse offers a full, continuously updated inventory of assets across your organization and supply chain partners, providing a single source of truth.
Discovery at the speed of the internet
Attackers scan the entire internet for vulnerabilities in 45 minutes and within 15 minutes of CVE disclosures. SecOps moves faster with Xpanse.
Securing the unknown
Unknown assets make your mean time to respond effectively infinite and make attack surface reduction impossible. Xpanse finds what you can’t see.

Internet-Scale Attack Surface Management

Know your attack surface, wherever it lives

Security teams are dealing with increased complexity of multiple cloud vendors, a shifting workforce, supply chain vendors, third-party partners, and security flaws inherited through M&A. An attacker view of your attack surface leaves no blind spots.

Continuous asset discovery and monitoring
Attack surfaces are constantly shifting. Xpanse scans the entire IPv4 space up to several times every day to uncover all of your internet-connected assets and keep track of changes that put you at risk.
Third-party risk and acquired company security
Security flaws from supply chain partners, third-party vendors, and acquired companies put you at risk. Discover those vulnerabilities and find the relevant stakeholders to help with mitigation.

Know your attack surface, wherever it lives

Quickly discover and assign risks for remediation

Discovering security risks and quickly mitigating them is a core pillar of security. It’s a race that defenders must win because attackers are constantly searching for vulnerable targets. Cortex Xpanse ensures your asset inventory is up to date so you can mitigate exposures fast.

Security at internet speed
The average organization finds two security issues per day, while attackers find one every hour. Xpanse keeps your asset inventory up to date, so you can stay ahead.
Stakeholders are responsible for their assets
Mitigating threats requires knowing who is responsible for a vulnerable asset. With Xpanse, even previously unknown assets can be traced back to stakeholders to ensure fast remediation.
