IDC Spotlight - Continuous Prevention: How Attack Surface Management Reduces Risk

Get new analyst insights on the benefits of continuous testing.

Preview of three pages of the IDC report on how attack surface management reduces risk on dark purple background.

“With 62% of hackers reporting they can find an exploitable perimeter exposure in less than five hours, it is of paramount importance for organizations to constantly monitor their attack surface.” – Michelle Abraham, Research Director, Security and Trust, IDC

With the expansion of the attack surface to include cloud assets, third-party connections, and organizational acquisitions, organizations need to employ continuous monitoring and testing of their external-facing assets to get the same ever-changing view a threat actor has, gaining information on how they would get in and what damage it would do.

This IDC Spotlight explores how Attack Surface Management addresses these challenges, enabling security teams to quickly discover and close the gap on potential vulnerabilities before hackers can take advantage.
