Security products that continuously discover, inventory, and monitor an organization's internet-facing assets including domains, IPs, cloud resources, certificates, and web applications. ASM platforms identify shadow IT, forgotten infrastructure, and exposed services that the organization may not know about. Products include CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Censys, and Shodan.
You cannot protect assets you do not know about. ASM platforms help security teams maintain an accurate inventory of their attack surface. Security engineers use ASM data to identify and remediate exposures. Penetration testers reference ASM output during reconnaissance. CISOs use ASM metrics to understand their organization's external risk profile.
