ATTACK SURFACE DISCOVERY

SEE EVERYTHING. MISS NOTHING.

Service page header cta bg

Discover, validate, and maintain an accurate view of perimeter assets.

We combine our proprietary, brand-centric discovery engine with human-in-the-loop validation to map domains, subdomains, networks, accessible services, third-party infrastructure—and assets you didn’t even know existed.

WE SEE WHAT ATTACKERS SEE

BRAND-CENTRIC DISCOVERY POWERED BY COSMOS, VALIDATED BY EXPERTS

Attack surface discovery is the foundation of your CTEM framework. Better attack surface discovery upfront leads to more accurate results in ongoing testing. An up-to-date, complete, and validated inventory of internet-facing assets is essential to reduce risk, eliminate blind spots, and stay ahead of adversaries.

Leveraging the Cosmos platform, our Attack Surface Intelligence team continuously discovers your external footprint — including domains, subdomains, networks, services, and third party assets — using a brand/domain-centric approach that reflects how adversaries actually hunt.

Traditional IP-centric tools can missassign assets to your organization or miss them altogether. We don’t. Every asset we find is put through human-in-the-loop ownership validation to ensure the assets we find actually belong to your organization. The result is an accurate, real-time inventory that your team can trust.

HOW IT WORKS

DICOVER YOUR ASSETS BEFORE ATTACKERS DO

We generate an initial map from public, private, and commercial sources plus active discovery. Then we iterate, combining passive OSINT and active probing, while our Attack Surface Intelligence (ASI) team validates ownership and relevance. Cloud Connectors enable attribution and safe scanning for comprehensive coverage.

DISCOVER, EXPAND, & ITERATE

We start with visible and knows assets – IP ranges, domains, subdomains, and exposed endpoints – to establish a reliable foundation.

From there, we pivot from each asset to uncover connected systems, services, and applications, such as APIs, databases, and additional hosts.

EXPLORE, AGGREGATE, & CORRELATE

We drill into service fingerprints, configurations, and versions to expose misconfigurations and vulnerable components.

By combining findings across sources, we can map relationships, eliminate duplicates, and reveal hidden parts of your attack surface.

CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR & IMPROVE

Once initial discovery is done, we conduct ongoing scanning so new assets and changes to your attack surface are detected quickly.

By using insights from later stages to re-examine earlier assets, we are constantly improve accuracy with every iteration.
