Overview

Every organization has assets exposed to the internet, domains, APIs, cloud resources, forgotten servers, and third-party integrations. Over time, these exposures expand silently and create blind spots that attackers actively exploit.

Our Attack Surface Discovery service maps your full external footprint, identifies hidden or unmanaged assets, and highlights risky exposures before they are weaponized. By combining reconnaissance, OSINT, and controlled probing, we help you regain visibility and control over what’s truly exposed to the world.

Attack Surface

Asset Enumeration

Identify domains, subdomains, IP ranges, APIs, and cloud resources linked to your organization.

Technology Fingerprinting

Detect web servers, frameworks, and components to identify outdated or vulnerable technologies.

Third-Party & Supply-Chain Mapping

Analyze external integrations, plugins, and vendor services for inherited risks.

DevOps & Tooling Exposure

Locate accessible dashboards, CI/CD systems, and administrative interfaces.

Access Points Review

Identify exposed admin panels, misconfigured APIs, and leaked authentication tokens.

Discovery Correlation

Detect forgotten, legacy, or unmonitored assets connected to your environment.

Cloud Exposure Review

Uncover unsecured cloud services and storage buckets accessible from the internet.

Continuous Visibility

Maintain an updated inventory of your external attack surface to prevent blind spots.
What you will get

Deliverables that keep every stakeholder aligned

We deliver more than raw findings: you receive a complete package that leadership, engineers, and auditors can all act on immediately.

Reporting package

Evidence-rich documentation for executives and technical teams.

Executive summary that explains business impact, key risks, and the narrative behind the assessment.
Vulnerability summary with grouped issues, risk owners, severity, and time-to-fix guidance.
Technical analysis that includes screenshots, observations, attack flow notes, and proof-of-exploitation where appropriate.
Metrics & scoring covering CVSS, likelihood/impact rationales, and remediation priority to unblock quick decisions.

Remediation toolkit

Clear next steps, mapped to the people fixing the issues.

Excel remediation tracker that consolidates every vulnerability with owners, status, due dates, and comments so progress is easy to measure.
Prioritized backlog with quick wins, blocked items, and prerequisites highlighted to reduce remediation friction.
Restitution meeting to walk through findings live, align on fixes, and answer engineer questions while the context is fresh.
Optional retest to validate patches and refresh CVSS scores so the final report reflects your latest posture.
Where this service excels

Recent scenarios our team solved

Real-world stories that mirror the way customers deploy, defend, and recover.

Fintech

Shadow domains uncovered via certificate transparency

Correlated leaked hostnames with old certificates to map forgotten apps.

Outcome

Decommissioned stale assets, redirected DNS, and set continuous CT monitoring.

Retail

Supplier infrastructure exposures

Found third-party hosted assets using your brand but missing security headers and WAF protection.

Outcome

Onboarded suppliers into asset inventory, enforced header policies, and extended WAF coverage.

Tech

Cloud object storage drift

Discovered open buckets created for one-off campaigns still serving live traffic.

Outcome

Closed public buckets, enabled access logging, and automated drift detection across providers.

Testing Methodology

1

Scoping & Kick-off

Define scope, objectives, and exclusions. Confirm target domains, IP ranges, cloud accounts, and discovery data sources during a structured kick-off meeting.

2

Intelligence Gathering

Use OSINT and reconnaissance techniques to collect data from public sources, DNS records, certificate transparency logs, repositories, and cloud metadata, to build a comprehensive inventory of reachable assets.

3

Active Mapping

Perform controlled probing to validate live hosts, services, APIs, and technologies in use, ensuring operations remain safe and non-intrusive for production environments.

4

Exposure Correlation

Cross-analyze collected data to uncover forgotten or legacy assets, third-party dependencies, and weak authentication points visible externally. Highlight misconfigurations and outdated services that increase exposure risk.

5

Reporting & Debrief

Deliver a full report including an executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings with evidence, business impact, and actionable remediation. Present results to both technical and management stakeholders.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Attack Surface Discovery typically takes 5–10 business days, depending on the number of domains, IP ranges, and integrations in scope. The service focuses on mapping and inventorying every externally reachable asset rather than performing exploitation or vulnerability scanning.

Attackers always look for the easiest entry point. Forgotten assets, misconfigured APIs, and inherited third-party exposures increase your attack surface. This assessment helps you identify and secure these blind spots before they’re discovered and abused by adversaries.

Regular assessments, ideally quarterly or after major infrastructure changes, ensure continuous visibility over your external exposure and allow proactive risk mitigation as your environment evolves.

No. Attack Surface Discovery focuses on visibility and exposure mapping, not exploitation. Its purpose is to inventory and validate external assets such as domains, IPs, APIs, and cloud services. For in-depth vulnerability validation, a dedicated penetration test can follow the discovery phase.
