Attack Surface Reduction Stop Cyber Threats Before They Start
Identify and eliminate vulnerabilities through attack surface reduction to block cyber threats before they strike.
Attack Surface Reduction
Understanding
What is Attack Surface?
An attack surface includes all potential points where cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities to access systems and steal data. Organizations must implement attack surface reduction by identifying and minimizing these exposures, which fall into three main types
- Physical Attack Surface: Weaknesses in hardware accessible through direct contact.
- Digital/Network Attack Surface: Vulnerabilities in online systems, applications, and endpoints.
- Human Attack Surface: Risks from human errors and social engineering attacks.
Key Strategies
Key Strategies for Attack Surface Reduction
Early Threat Detection
Identify vulnerabilities and threats before exploitation, ensuring early preparedness and a strong defensive edge.
Risk Mitigation
Rapid detection minimizes data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage, strengthening cybersecurity.
Security Resource Optimization
Attack surface reduction and monitoring optimize security resources, prioritizing high-risk areas for maximum protection.
