Attack Surface Management

Discover and secure every asset in your digital footprint—from the attacker’s perspective—before vulnerabilities become breaches.

Attack Surface Management

What is Attack Surface Management (ASM)?

Attack Surface Management view in Raxis One

Continuous Discovery, Analysis, and Monitoring of Your Digital Attack Surface

Your Attack Surface is Bigger Than You Think

Cloud migrations, remote work, SaaS adoption, and third-party integrations have created a sprawling digital footprint. Every new application, every cloud workload, every employee device expands your attack surface.

Shadow IT is Everywhere

Forgotten test servers, abandoned subdomains, unauthorized cloud instances, and employee-spun services create unknown vulnerabilities. Traditional asset inventories miss these “unknown unknowns.”

Attackers Find What You Miss

Adversaries use automated reconnaissance to scan your entire external presence. They discover exposed APIs, misconfigured cloud storage, leaked credentials, and vulnerable services—often before your security team does.

Expert-Led Attack Surface Management

Most ASM Tools are Automated Scanners. Raxis Brings Penetration Testing Expertise.

Continuous Discovery, Analysis, and Monitoring

ASM discovers what attackers actually see—including shadow IT, forgotten assets, and misconfigured systems across your entire internet-facing infrastructure.

AI-Augmented Discovery

We leverage AI and automation to rapidly scan your entire external footprint—discovering domains, subdomains, cloud assets, IP ranges, and exposed services across your digital presence.

Attacker’s Perspective

We discover your assets the same way adversaries do—through reconnaissance, OSINT gathering, and external enumeration. Our team uses the same tools and techniques as real attackers to map your true external exposure.

Expert Analysis

Our penetration testers manually analyze discovered assets to assess true risk. We understand which misconfigurations are critical, which exposures are exploitable, and which vulnerabilities attackers target first.

Actionable Prioritization

Not all exposures are equal. We prioritize findings based on exploitability, business impact, and threat intelligence—helping you focus resources on what matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vulnerability scanning tests known assets for known vulnerabilities. ASM discovers ALL assets (including unknown ones) from an attacker’s perspective, then assesses their security posture. Attack Surface Management answers “what do we have exposed?” while vulnerability scanning answers “what’s wrong with what we know about?”

Minimal information is required. We typically only need your primary domain name, company name, and any known IP ranges or cloud accounts. Part of ASM’s value is discovering what you don’t know exists, so we don’t need a complete asset list upfront.

No. Attack surface management is conducted entirely from external, non-invasive reconnaissance—the same way attackers discover targets. We don’t exploit vulnerabilities or attempt to breach systems during discovery. It’s passive observation and analysis.

Yes. We can identify assets owned by subsidiaries, vendors, and partners that may extend your attack surface. This is particularly valuable for supply chain risk management and third-party security assessments.

It depends on your environment’s rate of change. Organizations with frequent deployments, cloud migrations, or acquisitions benefit from continuous ASM. More stable environments typically conduct quarterly or annual assessments. We can help determine the right frequency based on your risk profile.

Yes. One of ASM’s most valuable capabilities is discovering shadow IT and forgotten cloud resources—like abandoned S3 buckets, test environments left running, or employee-created instances. These are often the most vulnerable assets because no one is managing their security.

Most ASM platforms are automated scanners that generate asset lists. Raxis combines AI-powered automation with expert penetration testers who understand which findings matter most, how attackers think, and what to prioritize. We provide strategic analysis, not just data dumps.

While not always explicitly required, ASM supports multiple compliance frameworks including PCI DSS (asset inventory requirements), ISO 27001 (asset management), SOC 2 (security monitoring), and GDPR (data mapping). It demonstrates due diligence in knowing what you have and where data resides.

Ideally before. ASM discovers your complete external attack surface so penetration testing can target the right systems. However, many clients combine both services into a single comprehensive engagement for maximum value.

Pricing varies based on your organization’s size, number of domains, and assessment depth. Point-in-time assessments typically start around $15,000, while continuous ASM programs are subscription-based. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific needs.
