Asset Discovery Shadow It
Detection Discover What
Attackers Already See

Modern environments expand faster than traditional inventories can track. SaaS sprawl, forgotten subdomains, orphaned staging servers and rogue cloud assets accumulate invisibly. Brandefense EASM continuously discovers and monitors your entire internet-facing footprint: domains, subdomains, IPs, cloud assets, exposed services and unknown shadow IT.

Six Sources of
Unknown Exposure

If you don't see it, you can't secure it. Every category below represents assets that exist in your organization's attack surface today but are absent from your inventory.

01

Forgotten Subdomains

02

Rogue SaaS & Cloud Sprawl

03

Orphaned Infrastructure

04

Exposed Dev & Staging Environments

05

Third-Party & Subsidiary Assets

06

CDN & Certificate Exposure

Forgotten Subdomains

Staging, dev and legacy subdomains created years ago and never decommissioned. Each one is a live entry point with no owner, no patching schedule and no security monitoring. Attackers enumerate them in minutes.

dev.*

staging.*

legacy.*

Rogue SaaS & Cloud Sprawl

Cloud storage buckets, SaaS tenants and compute instances spun up by individual teams without IT knowledge. No provisioning record, no access policy review and no decommissioning plan: silent accumulation of exposure.

AWS S3

GCP Storage

Azure Blobs

Orphaned Infrastructure

IP ranges, servers and services inherited from acquisitions, left running after projects end or abandoned during migrations. Orphaned assets carry no internal ownership and typically run unpatched software that IT doesn't know to update.

Acquired Assets

End-of-Project

Migration Remnants

Exposed Dev & Staging Environments

Development and staging environments temporarily made public for testing and never locked back down. They often run with relaxed authentication, debug interfaces enabled and real customer data seeded for testing purposes.

Debug Interfaces

Test Data

Open Auth

Third-Party & Subsidiary Assets

Assets belonging to subsidiaries, partners and acquired companies that share your organization's identity or infrastructure dependencies. Each subsidiary adds its own unknown inventory to your consolidated attack surface.

Subsidiaries

M&A Assets

Partner Infra

CDN & Certificate Exposure

CDN configurations that expose origin server IPs, certificates issued for hostnames that reveal internal naming conventions, and expired certificates that attackers monitor for subdomain takeover opportunities before the organization notices.

CDN Origins

Cert Transparency

Subdomain Takeover

From Unknown Asset to
Risk-Scored Finding

Discovery, relationship mapping, exposure analysis, risk scoring and ownership resolution all run continuously. Every new asset surfaces with context already attached.

01
Passive Reconnaissance

Certificate transparency logs, DNS records, WHOIS data, BGP routing tables and web crawl data are ingested continuously. No active scanning touches your infrastructure: the footprint is built from public sources before any active enumeration begins.

Complete Inventory.
Continuous. No Agent Required.

Continuous asset discovery across domains, subdomains, IPs, cloud assets, CDN configurations and certificates: all linked to your organization with no agents, no integrations and no manual input required.

01
Domain & Subdomain Discovery

Continuous enumeration of all domains and subdomains linked to your organization using certificate transparency, DNS brute-forcing, passive DNS and crawl data.

Find Assets
Before Attackers Map Them.

Passive enumeration finds what's already public. These four AI modules find what belongs to you, predict what will appear next and resolve ownership automatically.

Asset Relationship Modeling

02

Shadow IT Classifier

03

Orphan & Abandonment Detection

04

Entity Resolution Engine

Asset Relationship Modeling

Infrastructure overlap, shared certificates, common registrant data and ASN patterns build a graph of asset relationships. One confirmed asset anchors the discovery of dozens of related resources that passive enumeration alone would never surface.

Graph Modeling

Infrastructure Overlap

ASN Correlation

Shadow IT Classifier

Naming patterns, hosting characteristics, registration timelines and service fingerprints classify discovered assets as IT-sanctioned or shadow IT. Each shadow asset is flagged with confidence score and probable business unit attribution before human review.

Pattern Classification

Shadow Detection

Unit Attribution

Orphan & Abandonment Detection

Declining traffic signals, unchanged service versions, stale certificate renewal patterns and absence from internal DNS zones indicate asset abandonment. Orphaned assets are flagged before attackers find and weaponize them.

Entity Resolution Engine

Multi-signal entity resolution links discovered assets to your organization even when registration data is obscured. Registrant history, IP proximity, certificate subject overlap and naming convention matching resolve ownership without manual verification for most assets.
