Discover, Monitor & Predict Your External Exposure.

Brandefense is an external attack surface management platform that continuously discovers, analyzes and predicts risks across your entire internet-facing infrastructure. It covers shadow IT, forgotten subdomains, cloud misconfigurations and exposed services, so your team can find and fix what attackers can already see before they use it.

The Problem

The Modern Attack. Surface Problem.

Your external attack surface is constantly expanding. If you don't see it, attackers will.

Surface Expansion Drivers
  • 01Cloud adoption & multi-cloud sprawl
  • 02SaaS proliferation & shadow integrations
  • 03DevOps acceleration & ephemeral infrastructure
  • 04Third-party integrations & supply chain
  • 05Shadow IT & unauthorized deployments
  • 06Mergers, acquisitions & forgotten infrastructure

FAQ: What Do People Ask About External Attack Surface Management?

Updated 28 Sep 2026

  • What is External Attack Surface Management?

    External Attack Surface Management is the continuous process of discovering, monitoring, and managing all internet-facing assets and exposures that an attacker could target. Brandefense Attack Surface Management automatically maps your entire external digital footprint — including unknown and shadow assets — and prioritizes risks based on real-world exploitability.

  • What types of assets does Brandefense Attack Surface Management discover?

    Brandefense discovers all external-facing digital assets including domains, subdomains, IP ranges, cloud infrastructure, APIs, web applications, certificates, and shadow IT — building a continuously updated inventory of everything an attacker could find.

  • How is Attack Surface Management different from traditional vulnerability scanning?

    Traditional vulnerability scanners require you to tell them what to scan. Brandefense Attack Surface Management starts from the attacker’s perspective — autonomously discovering assets you may not know exist, then assessing their exposure. It finds the gaps that scanners miss because they’re never pointed at them.

  • How does Brandefense prioritize Attack Surface Management findings?

    Brandefense scores findings by combining exploitability data, active threat actor activity, CVE severity, and business context — so your team knows which exposed assets pose the greatest real-world risk, not just the highest theoretical score.

  • Can Brandefense Attack Surface Management integrate with our existing vulnerability management tools?

    Yes. Brandefense integrates with leading vulnerability management platforms, SIEM, SOAR, and ticketing systems — so Attack Surface Management findings flow directly into your existing remediation workflows without creating additional tool overhead.

  • What is shadow IT and how does Brandefense find it?

    Shadow IT means assets that nobody listed, such as forgotten subdomains, test servers and unapproved SaaS. Brandefense discovers assets continuously, so these show up in your inventory.

  • How does Brandefense Attack Surface Management work, step by step?

    It has five steps: discover, attribute, validate, prioritize and fix. It first finds exposed assets and links them to your organization, then checks the risk and ranks it. Findings then go to your tools through the ticketing API.

  • What misconfigurations can Brandefense detect?

    It finds exposed admin panels, open ports, weak TLS and public storage. This check runs continuously, not once a quarter.

  • Does Brandefense cover third-party and vendor risk?

    Yes. Third-party risk management is a module under External Attack Surface Management. It gives scorecards for different categories and an overall rating, and flags changes in a vendor's exposure.

  • Why does my external attack surface keep growing?

    Common causes are cloud adoption, SaaS use, faster DevOps releases, third-party integrations, shadow IT, and mergers or forgotten infrastructure. Brandefense keeps the asset map current as these change.
