Attackers employ various creative methods to steal information, exploiting an organization's digital attack surface, which has expanded beyond traditional firewalls and networks due to the increasing reliance on SaaS services. The attack surface comprises all publicly accessible web applications, including known and unknown assets, with external cloud assets being more frequently compromised than on-premises ones. The cost of data breaches has risen, particularly affecting organizations with less mature security postures, as attacks on web applications and phishing remain significant threats. To mitigate risks, organizations are encouraged to adopt external attack surface management (EASM) tools, monitor subdomains, and adhere to best practices for managing vulnerabilities. The integration of third-party services further complicates the attack surface, necessitating vigilant risk monitoring and management. Despite improvements in security practices, challenges persist, as evidenced by regulatory fines under the EU's GDPR and ongoing legislative efforts like the United States' "Better Cybercrime Metrics Act" to enhance cybercrime data collection. Automated tools are essential for maintaining a robust security posture and compliance in today's complex IT environments.
