What is the Attack Surface Mapper? 🤔
It is critical to identify and analyze different aspects of an organization's infrastructure that may be vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors. This includes scanning network hosts, analyzing web applications, enumerating subdomains, identifying open ports, and performing other reconnaissance tasks. This helps prioritize security efforts, focus on areas that require immediate attention, and mitigate potential risks.
What data is captured by the Attack Surface Mapper scan? 🤔
Here is what you will see once you have completed the Attack Surface Mapper scan against a domain.
