Ivanti’s Attack Surface Management report examines the challenges of monitoring and managing expanding attack surfaces and provides strategies directly from IT and security experts into how you can practice comprehensive attack surface management.

In this video, Rex McMillan, Vice President of Product Management at Ivanti, shares valuable insights on attack surface management (ASM) and why an attack surface management solution should empower organizations to detect and prioritize high-level risks even as those risks evolve in scope and severity.

The traditional definition of the enterprise has changed as data is now created outside the data center, requiring organizations to redefine their attack surface. Organizations need to consider how attackers and hackers perceive their environment and prioritize actions accordingly.

Rex emphasizes that organizations cannot prioritize every potential vulnerability, but a successful attack surface management (ASM) strategy should focus on threat management and encompass the entire supply chain. This requires:

· Understanding the supply chain and ensuring trusted sources for devices and software.
· Considering the risks associated with devices and software brought into the environment. · Maintaining visibility and managing the drift that occurs in the software estate
· Ensuring that security measures are incorporated into contractual agreements with vendors, to hold them accountable.
A mature attack surface management solution also requires strategic prioritization to focus on high-risk areas and allocate resources effectively. Part of the dynamic nature of attack surface management means that teams need to continuously monitor their assets and adapt as new vulnerabilities emerge.
