Know What’s Exposed. Know It’s Yours.
You can't protect what you can't see. And you can't trust what's not validated. Bishop Fox Attack Surface Discovery continuously finds your internet-facing assets, confirms they belong to you, and keeps your inventory current as your environment changes, all managed by our experts.
WE SEE WHAT ATTACKERS SEE
Internet-facing exposure is attackers’ number one way in and most security teams cannot see all of theirs. Spreadsheets go stale. Do-it-yourself discovery tools return thousands of assets without telling you which ones are actually yours.
Leveraging the Cosmos Platform, our Attack Surface Intelligence (ASI) team continuously discovers your external footprint, including domains, subdomains, networks, cloud accounts, and services, using a brand/domain-centric approach that reflects how adversaries actually hunt. Shadow IT, forgotten infrastructure, and assets from an acquisition surface on our side before they become a blind spot on yours.
Then we do the part most tools skip. Our ASI team confirms every asset belongs to your organization, and each one carries an evidence-based confidence rating that shows why it is attributed to you. We absorb the noise and hand you a validated inventory, not a raw feed to sort.
HOW IT WORKS
We start with the domains, IP ranges, cloud accounts, and organization names you give us, plus any assets you already track, then expand across public internet data such as DNS, certificate transparency, WHOIS, routing, and hosting records. Connected cloud accounts are enumerated from the source, catching fast-changing cloud infrastructure that an outside-in scan can miss.
Before an asset enters your inventory, our ASI team confirms it is yours. Each asset carries an evidence-based confidence rating drawn from signals like DNS, certificate, WHOIS, hosting, and routing data, so you can see why it is attributed to you. Assets you submit are held to the same standard.
Continuous checks surface exposed or risky services, certificate and TLS issues, spoofable email settings, and risky DNS records. These are verified facts about your exposure, so you can close the easy ways in and shrink your risk before an attacker finds them.

KEY BENEFITS
AN ATTACKER'S VIEW
Brand-centric discovery maps every domain, subdomain, and internet-facing asset, just like an adversary does.
ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE
Ongoing scanning keeps your inventory current even as your footprint changes, with alerts when something new appears or leaves scope.
VALIDATED OWNERSHIP
Our ASI team verifies every asset with an evidence-based confidence rating, so you receive view of your perimeter you can trust.
THE EASY WAYS IN, CLOSED EARLY
We catch expiring certificates, spoofable domains, hijackable DNS records, and risky services before they become an attacker’s entry point.
PART OF CONTINUOUS SECURITY TESTING
Every test and every threat check is only as good as the inventory behind it. Pair Attack Surface Discovery with Attack Surface Testing and Emerging Threat Testing, and both work from what you actually expose, as it changes.
In a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program, Attack Surface Discovery covers the Scoping and Discovery stages, so every later stage starts from what you actually expose, not an old asset list.
How Republic Services Scales Security with Continuous Testing
We knew we needed something beyond just another scanning solution. Bishop Fox offered us attack surface discovery. The service showed us about the things we weren't even aware of...
We'd love to chat about your Attack Surface Discovery needs. We can help you determine the best solutions for your organization and accelerate your journey to forward defense.
