Attack surface management is evolving rapidly and requires a smarter approach. Automation is crucial but must be complemented by human intuition to tackle this problem at scale. Scanners can identify low-hanging fruit, but humans are needed to focus on edge cases and make judgment calls. Tailoring tactics to seasonal activities and contextualizing for less risk are also essential. Agility in pivoting tools and techniques, as well as digesting expansive views of information, are critical components of a comprehensive attack surface management strategy. By combining human ingenuity with software scalability, organizations can reduce unknown attack surfaces by up to 60% and 98%.
