Dynamic Attack Surface Reduction – What it is and Why You Need it How Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) Addresses Evolving Attack Surfaces Next-generation technologies, such as agentic AI and space infrastructure, introduce new security risks, while cyber-physical systems and 5G networks link previously discrete attack surfaces, raising security complexity. Attack surface reduction (ASR) technologies, such...

Often, corporate cybersecurity programs are inherently reactive. If the organization’s security tools identify a potential attack, they block the traffic or alert the security team so that it can begin incident response. Preemptive cybersecurity takes a more proactive approach to protecting the organization against potential threats. It uses AI and other capabilities to predict and...

Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA) solutions are one of several cybersecurity tools designed to enhance an organization’s security posture by identifying and addressing security and control gaps. Understanding the role of ASCA enables security teams to improve their security posture and the value provided by their existing security investments. What Is ASCA? Automated Security Control...

Web application security is the practice of defending web applications, websites, and web application programming interfaces (APIs) against potential cyber threats. These threats include everything from exploiting vulnerabilities in these applications to taking advantage of security misconfigurations to abusing incorrect business logic. Web application security is vitally important to a corporate security program because these...

The Question on Everyone’s Lips at RSAC 2025  “Are you MCP-ready?”  This wasn’t just casual conversation at RSA 2025—it was the burning question that echoed through packed conference halls, intimate executive breakfasts, and animated after-hours discussions. In a year when AI security agents moved from concept to reality, security tool stacks reached new heights of...

Exposure management (EM) is an attacker-centric approach to identifying and addressing potential security risks to an organization’s IT assets.

Vulnerability assessments use automated scans to achieve surface-level visibility into an organization’s digital attack surface.

The OWASP Top 10 is one of the best-known catalogs of the top vulnerabilities facing web applications. It highlights the most significant current and emerging web application vulnerabilities, in order to bring attention to these issues and help developers avoid common coding mistakes.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls framework provides a collection of defense-in-depth best practices designed to mitigate the most common cyber attacks on systems and networks.

Attack surface management (ASM) is a rapidly advancing field in cybersecurity that helps organizations identify, assess, and manage the attack surface.
